    RSVP on birthday parties.. I guess is not cool any more?

    I put "RSVP for Goody Bag Count" for my child's birthday party and have great luck with parents responding. Also an e-mail address for RSVP might help over phone number. Some people don't like to call and say "no", my friend uses this option. As far as a wedding RSVP, I heard of a...

    Stairs - Hardwood or carpet???

    We have hardwood downstairs and put laminate upstairs that matches the downstairs in color. We are going to put a brown carpet on the stairs that is the same tone as the wood color. We think this will help it to not to stand out as much but have the security of the carpet in case there is a fall.

    Niagara Falls on a budget?

    We went to Niagara Falls every Labor Day growing up. Just recently did we discover Niagara on the Lake. It's about 30 miles up the road. You can take a nice drive up the Niagara Peninsula, stop at the wineries, fruit stands and get something to have a picnic on a little beach/park where the...

    Question for anyone who has done Bernard's Tours on St. Martin...

    Just took the tour in May. There is no toilet on the bus. It is a bus that holds maybe 30 people. The first stop was a place to get up close and personal with iguanas (and chickens). We then made our way to Orient Beach-from the looks of them, I personally, would not want to use the public...

    I just redecorated my daugher's bedroom/bathroom. I was inspired by the Disneyland Hotel Pirate Suite. Here is a link: http://www.hilaryshepherd.com/rantsnraves/2011/02/23/disneyland-hotel-pirates-of-the-caribbean-suite/ It's a little bit more grown up version but you could always put...

    Disney Dream - June 12, 2011

    Anyone doing this? It might motivate me...I like to joke I only run when I'm being chased; but this might be fun. DD (10) is also interested. The weather in DFW is mild now so it's perfect training weather.

    Stroller question for a 6 year old, please no flames

    Our daughter was 6.5 years old and we used it. It came in handy on those EMH nights. When she was tired, she would climb in. My husband and I could walk around enjoying the sights and she was fast asleep. We could wait for the crowds to break up before leaving the park. Much less stress!

    Does DCL take Discover for the Key cards?

    The only thing I would recommend is to let Discover Card know that you are going to be using the card out of the country and your home area. I put my Discover as my payment card on our cruise and got a letter under our door that our card had been declined and to please present myself at the...
