we sailed last August with a 13 and 7 year old. In Tracy Arm we stayed aboard ship and were very happy we did. Great view and no real need to get closer. My 7 year old was interested in the glacier and my 13 year old could have cared less. In Juneau since our youngest was 7 it limited where we...

Our experience with a mal was similar to those posted already. Our Chy was a sweet dog, very loving but a bundle of energy who was very good with our young kids and our cat and was fine with other dogs. We lost her a few months ago at 15 years old which I have been told is very old for a mal...

I grew up in Oregon and moved to the Seattle area a few years ago. They are very different places and as a previous poster stated I too cannot wait to move back to Portland. I return often and it usually takes me around 3.5 hours to Portland driving from a Seattle suburb. If you make it to...

My family went through something similar last year. What helped us was Linkedin.com. It allowed us to map out connections- who knew who- and who could put in a good word for DH at the company. FOr instance before we submitted a resume we would check to see if we had any connection to that...

I know this will bring back an older post but we just got home from their show in Seattle. It was wonderful and my son loved that he was able to high five Mover RIch. He loves his movers. Great show if a little loud. Just in case the family who was dressed up as the movers, Nina and...

Bumbershoot, I will keep your son in mind when we start trading. I do not want his first and most abiding memory of Disneyland to be the pin that got away. I will have to give this further thought maybe a few practice runs with kids in the neighborhood before we try the park. :) Thank you...

THank you both for your replies. I was only going to let my son exchange pins with other kids or CM's as he is a very friendly almost 4 year old and I dont want to encourage him talking to random adults. I would like to pick up a bunch of pins before we go, is ebay the best option or are...

I have been to DL and DW both but it has been 10 years since I went to DL. I think that my son would enjoy pin trading especially as a way to get him more interested in disney and as something to do at the parks. Is pin trading as popular in DL as it is in DW? THanks for your help

What works for every child is different. Mine was very stubborn. Would go number one in the potty occasionally but only once in a long while. We would try a little, go back to pull ups ect. Finally, I decided christmas break we would go cold turkey. Naked boy around the house, lots of sugar...

I bf my son until he was 7.5 months old until one night he decided we were done. The first 5 mo I would feed him for 40 min, pump for 20 and then rest for 1 to 2 hours before we started over again. THe last two months we would just feed and then supplement. When he was feeding he would...

I have not stayed here yet so I dont know how nice it is but the Today show said that it was a good cheaper place to stay in DC. It is close to my sisters place so she said that it was safe for us and our 3 year old. THey allow kids and they are a B&B so the rooms come with breakfast. THey are...

THe cookbook I used most at school was "Going Solo in the Kitchen" by Jane Doerfer. IT was easy to follow and the recipes were very good. I also received the Joy of cooking but hardly ever use it even now.

My son had his first set of ear tubes at about 18 months. As the previous posters have said it is fairly simple but still scary for us parents. It took about 15 min total and then he was back with us. He was screaming very loud and the anestheiologist (sp?) said that some children react to a...

This may be too young for your daughter and her classmates but I recently found a color your own mug at our local Michaels craft store that was 99 cents each. It is a clear plastic mug with a handle and an inner white cup that snaps in place. You put a design you create between the two pieces...

I have not read all the replies so someone may have mentioned this. I was really close to my grandmother and she had 3 identical necklaces made, one for her, one for my siser and one for me. When she died she was buried with hers, my necklace among other memories bonds me to her, it is...

Our 90lb malamute is afraid of anything that she thinks could possibly be a fly. She will see a little black dot on the wall and freak. She will keep pacing until she can find a dark corner to hide in. If she sees a fly enter the house when we are letting her in she will refuse to come inside.

I would call your insurance first. I know that our insurance has an agreement with the facilities that accept it stating that we cant be ballance billed. In other words if the insurance does not cover something we dont have to pay it. I have received many bills several times for different...

My son had always snored but it started to get worse around August last year. We fianlly went in for a sleep study and found out that he had very bad apnea he would wake up 39 times an hour. I couldnt tell he was doing that, we knew he made noise but not that he woke up. He would also get...
