Married w/ 3 beautiful children. I just quit my job of 8 years at a fortune 500 co to stay at home w/ little ones.
How do I get my 8 month old to sleep in his crib & then ween from mid-night feedings?
My baby was sleeping in his crib for nap time & at least for half the night, but now I can't get him to stay in his crib! We just got back from a vacation & because of how cold it was at my mom's he ended up sleeping w/ me most of the time. Now he won't even lay down for a nap. I nurse him & once he starts falling asleep, I will lay him down. He immediately wakes up & starts to cry!
I am not sleeping well & neither is he! Please help!
4 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agoDoes food coloring really expire?
I was decorating a cake today & noticed there was a "sale by" date on the food coloring. How much after that date can I use it? Does it really matter, I never noticed it before... and I know I've kept food coloring for years before I've finished it off.
3 AnswersOther - Food & Drink1 decade agoCan someone please give me a list of starchy foods?
My husband is currently on a VERY strict weight loss diet and it is ending this Friday. There is a 3 week stabilization period where he cannot have any starches. I want to be sure to follow the diet and help him, but cannot find a specific list, just mostly the affects of carbs etc.
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoNeed to find ingredients for a home remedy colon cleanse...
I found a web-site a few days ago that had a home remedy colon cleanse, but my husband switched out our computers and now I don't have the web site. Try as I might, I can't find it again, and it sounded like it would work pretty well (and it was simple & safe).
I remember it only had a few ingredients, I think water & good gray sea salt, but I don't remember proportions etc.
Can anyone help me out?
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWhat setting do I use to make waffles on the George Foreman G5 grill?
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't find the info anywhere in the instructions. The last time I did waffles, they didn't turn out great (I just guessed). I couldn't find anything on the internet either...
Anybody else have suggestions?
1 AnswerCooking & Recipes1 decade agoWhat type of consequences do you give for this?
My 4 year old is very hard on toys. Just in the past 4 days he has broken 3 toys! The problem comes in that most of the toys he ends up breaking are not his, but either his little brother's or sister's.
We have tried taking away priviledges, time outs, reasoning... I'm just not sure what to do. How do I teach him to respect other people's things?
9 AnswersToddler & Preschooler1 decade agoAcidy, runny stools, caused by teething?
My 7 mo old has had acidy, runny stools since last night. Every diaper I have chaged today has been poopy, and they are acidy enough that his little bottom is bright red.
A few days ago he had a fever and was really cranky and just not himself... I was going to call the Dr. the next day, but the fever broke & he was fine. I chalked it up to teething, but now this w/ the diarhia. No fever this time.

5 AnswersCooking & Recipes1 decade agoHow do I get rid of an infection in my piercing?
I've had my ears pierced since I was 2 years old and have never had a problem w/ infections in those piercings (I am 30 years old).
I recently had a baby, so fast is the best for me & I left the same earrings in for a week or 2. My ears started to bother me this morning so I took them out & they were covered in black gunk and my eas were red! YUCK!
I have never had this happen before, not sure how best to get rid of the infection... What exactly did I do wrong. I've left earrings in for longer before w/out any problems.

5 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWomen only...regarding cervical cancer?
Lately I have been experiencing some abnormal discharge and a few other symptoms. I looked them up on the internet and they are some of the symptoms of cervical cancer. I am going to call my CNM tomorrow, but was curious about some of the things that the web-sites had mentioned.
Is it true that the only way to get rid of it is to have a complete historectomy? I am only 29 and my husband & I still plan on having 2 more children... This is very scary to me. Does anyone have any experience w/ this?
5 AnswersWomen's Health1 decade agoAnyone know where I can find a Braveheart Lion Care Bear Cousin?
I've looked around on the internet & I know I could probably buy one used on e-bay. I'm looking for my 3 year old son, so I'd prefer something new, but haven't really seen any lately. I know Care Bears have become popular again, and he's fascinated w/ them, so I think it would be nice to get him a little stuffed animal to play with.

7 AnswersOther - Society & Culture2 decades agoAny suggestions on how to get a stubborn 3 yr old interrested in potty training?
He started getting interrested when he was 2 but since his baby sister was born (she's now 1 yr) he won't have anything to do w/ the toilet.
