    Minnie Mouse Bow Sweet Home

    Agree 1000% with Colleen27 above! I can't believe the toy love that Minnie dress up kit gets in our house! (We have twin 3 year old girls)

    Best Way to Clean a Hardwood Floor?

    I have mass quantities of hardwood in this house, and no idea how best to clean it. I've been using the swiffer wet jet but it just doesn't feel "clean." Do I need a string mop or a sponge mop, what kind of chemical, and isn't water the enemy of hardwood (so am I hurting the floors by doing...

    What does an employer have to do to keep you loyal to them?

    Generous benefits. My employer's health plan covered IVF. Thanks to them, I have 3 gorgeous daughters without the $75K price tag I'd have faced virtually anywhere else. I'm now in my 12 week fully paid maternity leave. How can I not feel valued and appreciated? Is my manager perfect? No. Does...

    When Will Some Doctors/ Hospitals Learn?

    This feels particularly timely to me, as I'm DISing from a hospital bed :) having undergone a second c-section about 26 hours ago. The procedure went great, and beautiful little daughter #3 is here now :) - no matter what people sign in advance, if a baby dies or is damaged, people sue...

    My 16 year old niece is coming to live with me!

    I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could intervene on the "plain" part. There's not much I can do about the unbelievable emotional strain underscoring this, but give me three days and my debit card and I could totally address the "plain." I wish!

    Daughter got invited to go on a Disney trip

    There are two kinds of parents in America, really. 1. The ones who passionately want their kids to exceed/realize more opportunities than them. 2. The ones who absolutely cannot tolerate their kids exceeding them. It is amazing how much of one's life is typically set by whether you had 1 or 2...

    Unmotivated Teen

    Touch of depression? Humor me: have her clothes or makeup changed? What are the college/postgrad plans? How were her SATs? Does she feel good at anything in particular? Talented?

    Disney with 3 under 3! I just might be crazy! My first PTR.

    You inspire me! In three weeks, we will also have 3 under 3 ... We have twin girls who are 2.5 (also 31 weekers with a month in NICU - all good now) and are having another girl by June 25. Question: are you going to be breast feeding the twins on this trip? Or packing formula through? The...

    Anyone get a passport recently? How long did it take?

    We just applied for our twin girls, and I could not believe how inept the post office was with it. Truly I felt like it clarified for me the uselessness of the USPS in 2014.

    Should university undergrads be required to study a World (Foreign) Language..

    I can speak to the requirements where I went undergrad. They required of everyone, regardless of major, a sequence of a foreign language that resulted in intermediate fluency. For most, that was a set of four classes across four consecutive semesters, and they counted among the 32 classes...

    What if your spouse isn't on board?

    This isn't really about Disney. This is about control.

    overweight people who constantly eat out

    This thread makes it crystal clear to me why psychiatry is the #1 most in demand and highly paid profession in my state ... I will say this. To be fat stinks. Beyond the proven health risks, the world judges, it holds many back in the workplace and in dating, the clothing selection is much...

    job search- what do I do?

    Can I take a guess ... Are you not so hot with computers? More so than even not following instructions, dropping off paper resumes creates the impression that you're not confident online, and that's deadly for a 2014 job search. Even worse if it's actually not true. Do you know teachers in...

    Your kid flunks out of college, now what?

    I give you all credit. I would be utterly at a loss as to what to do. The idea of flunking and floating adrift and not being fundamentally bothered by that is so abstract.

    Another Driving in NYC Question

    Tappan Zee, no question. Don't cross into Manhattan.

    I can't resist posting them because they're just so stinking cute

    Thanks for the baby love, ladies! They are fraternal but look very similar, same coloring, but one has ringlets and the other has straight hair! Another photo because I am just a huge sucker for them. There is a definite Cindy Lou Who resemblance :)

    I can't resist posting them because they're just so stinking cute

    Our twin 2.5 year old daughters liked their first official haircuts, or rather, the lollipops that came with the haircuts. I just can't get over these two! They spend all day talking to each other and making funny observations. This kid thing is so much more fun than I expected back when they...
