We have a bathtub in the house, but it's generally for our daughters use because she's far too little to take a shower. We live in California, so we save her rinse water and put it on the plants we want to try and keep alive. We are mostly shower people. As for the use of a bucket, I will do...

Married and we have a five month old daughter together.

Poached - over rice (cooked in chicken or beef stock), with steamed or roasted vegetables on the side. It's a standard meal at our house. I think it's puuuuurdy good. However, if I'm lazy that day, we'll have them over-easy.

People think that breastfeeding is sexual, because of the boobies. Breastfeeding and pumping milk for my baby was probably the least sexiest thing I've ever done. I don't think there is anything wrong with breastfeeding your baby in public, seeing as I've done it - but I have to admit that I get...

I'm a big fan of nearly anything made with molasses. Molasses chews and cake, mostly cookies. I bake with molasses once a week for guests, as gifts, and to have around the house. I also put molasses in my coffee, talk about gooooooooood.

It depends on the situation. Such as in a natural disaster. If no aid is arriving, the entire area is on lock-down, and you are genuinely in need - looting diapers, proper clothing, medicine/medical supplies, bottled water, and formula/food is understandable. However, using a disaster or other...

My biggest dog (male standard Dachshund) swings his butt around like some kind of Ankylosaurus when he plays with the other dogs. Or if he wants to play and they aren't really getting into it, he'll turn around and rub his butt all over them while making huffing noises. Also since my daughter...

My daughter was born on May 13th, so caring for her has been taking up a majority of our time; but she's actually not a difficult baby. So, you know, things could be a lot worse. She could have had colic or something (*shudder*). When I have some free time, it's either chores or games/internet...

My parents claim I was ambidextrous as a small child, but, eventually started favoring my right hand over my left and it was encouraged. So, here I am; all righty-handed. Not sure how true all that is. I don't know or remember any specific details, but you know, *raspberry*.

My husband tried to teach me, I just couldn't get it. I didn't even manage to get my license until the beginning of this year, because it finally became necessary - I'm 26 and just popped out a baby in May. I just needed to learn to drive, so automatic was the fastest and easiest way for me so I...

All of them. By the time I was 15, I had nothing left except a few blankets and a stuffed bear from when I was a baby. My Mother kept those particular items so that I would be able to use them for my own baby when the time came (if ever). My Mother had a habit of just going through my room and...

I am 26 and very nearly 33 weeks pregnant. Overall, I worry about the health of the fetus (even though it is apparently right on track in development) and myself - but that's to be expected. In comparison to what I hear of other women's pregnancies, it seems like I'm breezing right through this...

I live in a small place in the California desert. Within the area typically known as the 'High Desert'. My husband and I would probably try to head up North to the family ranch in Montana, and depending on how things look - try to see how Canada is doing. I really can't think of anything else to...

I found this story pretty amusing. She isn't using it, she's not unsupervised, this just seems like good business. I don't think there is anything to be scared of, or to find outrageous, in this situation. I've never met a dangerous pothead. In fact, they can be pretty damn boring. It's kind of...
