    My new name is Boobie Battyshorts.....What's yours?

    My daughter has this Captain Underpants book...I looked it up and these names aren't from the book! They're funny, but not from the book. I thought it was weird, because here my name is Boobie Farkletush but in the book my name is Poopsie Bananafanny LOL

    Shower Head Filters for Hard Water?

    Emily's right (I actually studied this in chemistry recently!). What you need is a water softener and the shower head unit will remove chlorine and whatnot, but not the hard minerals in the water. Natural spring water may not have chlorine and other contaminants in it but it oftentimes will...

    Car Seat Question

    My DD is now 8 and I think she stopped sitting in her booster around 7, but I used a seat belt adjuster so that the seatbelt sat where it should and didn't sit across her neck or anything. But like the others said, check with the laws of your state, first.

    Please join me in a prayer....

    Oh no! I don't drink coffee (I'm a big loose-leaf tea drinker) but I'm usually the one to make DH's coffee. He actually uses a French Press and loves it...he won't go back to using a regular coffee pot! I use my own french press for my loose leaf tea. Something to consider :-)

    Signs of shoe wear

    That's good info, thanks! I have found that when my exercise is a little more jarring than it used to be (even with inserts), it's time to get new shoes.

    Another shopping question: pantyhose

    Pantyhose are of the devil. If I have to wear something along those lines, I will wear thigh highs.

    High Step vs Regular Step

    You can always purchase just the high step topper and use the risers that came with your other step. I love the high step. I personally bought an entire high step in addition to my regular step so I have lots of risers now. I didn't need to do that, but now I use extra risers when using the...

    Do not want to drive/fly for holidays...help!

    I hope you don't mind if I pipe in. Expecting you to travel with one year old twins is a bit unreasonable. It's different when they're a little older. I personally think that the best thing to do is to be honest. Let your mom know that it's just too much of a hassle to travel with them right...

    Question about my son

    My younger brother was always skinny and wiry and he has used muscle milk. He likes it. Using that as a supplement to eating healthy and lifting weights should help. You should have your son talk to his coach about it as I'm sure he's not the first person to want to gain a little weight. His...

    Knee brace?

    Robin, I have had to use a knee brace many times in the past during my workouts. This is what I use: http://www.muellersportsmed.com/kneestabilizerelastic.htm and you can usually find it at most drug stores. Sometimes you have to look, though, as many places sell that brand but not always...

    A Taste of My Old Life

    I know the feeling! There is a tea called 'Eater's Digest' by Traditional Medicinals. I bought it in my local King Soopers (tea section) but I know it is also sold at Whole Foods. it has things like peppermint and fennel (I forget what exactly is in it) that are good for digestion and it...

    Eucalyptus oil

    That sounds great! Hmmm....I already need to go to Whole Foods, I may need to pick up some essential oils, too! I do like the idea of using eucalyptus oil to keep fleas at bay and freshening up the dog beds. Thanks for bringing it up!

    Christmas decor

    Inside we usually have a tree as well as garland and lights on our bannisters. We also have a really nice manger set that we put out as well as a few other little things. However, this year we have something we haven't in the past....an 8 month old puppy, so I'm not sure what kind of things...

    What to eat with Cottage Cheese

    I don't like plain cottage cheese but I do mix it with my yogurt (Blue Bunny's Light Superfruit yogurt is my favorite) and it is a really yummy snack.

    OT-For Pet Owners

    I just adopted a new puppy on Monday and it turns out she’s not housebroken! We have had a few accidents and in the past I would use the Woolite Oxy Deep (dual canister) carpet cleaner but I recently discovered something that works just as well or better and actually smells good and not like...

    Need help choosing Elliptical...

    I hate to tell you this, but chances are you will not be satisfied with a $250 elliptical...the path is not usually as comfortable as it is on a more expensive machine. I have a Horizon E-65 (I think) that I got from Play it Again Sports for about $700 and it's fantastic. My biggest piece of...

    taebo amped revisited

    Jonahnah, that's true...his videos are not pre-choreographed, so his background exercisers have to pay close attention to what he chooses to do next. Those in the videos are either all intstructors (which go back every year to train with him) or they are people that Billy knows and he knows...

    taebo amped revisited

    I have to say that out of all of Billy's workouts, that set trims the waist the fastest! I have just added it into my rotation as well!

    For Dog Owner--Important

    Thanks for that! And don't forget that a dog's size plays a large role. We have large dogs so they will not be as affected as a small dog eating certain things. The most interesting we've come across was after one of them ate some crayons. It was a colorful backyard!
