I have recently purchased the videos and books from "Your Baby Can Read". I have 30 days to try it and return it if I don't like it. I would like opinions from anyone who has used it and liked it or didn't like it. Thank you.

We just moved a few months ago and our new backyard is a disaster! It hardly has any grass, its made up of mostly weeds and tons of rocks. It looks like there are a few mole holes (bumps) as well. I don't know where to start. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

When my husband gave me my wedding ring he also gave me the paperwork that came along with it which had the reciept in it. I saw that he had spent $400.00 on my ring. My heart sank. Then I felt so ashamed for being so materialistic. So I am not sure if I am right to feel this way. He takes home about $5000.00 a month and buys nothing but the best for himself. I had put this out of my mind for the last 3 years until last week when he came home talking about a friend of ours who just got married and how he doesn't think our friend wanted to marry his wife and one of the reasons was cause he bought her a "cheap ring". When I asked how much it was he said $600.00. So now I don't know how I should feel after finding out my ring cost less than this "cheap ring". I do not want to be shallow, I just assumed since my husband usually spares no expense that I would have been blown away by the ring he bought for me. Anyway please don't be too harsh, I just want a bias opinion.

We have a 5 month old boy shih tzu. We've had him for 3 months and he is not yet house trained. He has a crate that he goes in when he is home alone (which is not often, I'm a stay home mom) and to sleep in. He doesn't go potty in his crate and as soon as he is let out he runs straight to the door to go outside so he knows where to go to get outside, but no matter how often I take him out he will pee or poop in the house daily. I have tried putting him on a schedule with feeding and going outside 15 minutes afterward. I would set the kitchen timer for 30 min. and take him out every 1/2 hour but he still ends up going in the house. I have tried keeping him tethered to something so he is in the same room and I could watch him, but there are no signs when he goes in the house, he will be just standing in a spot and without sniffing or circling he will start pooping. Anyone had problems with this breed? With a boy? Think getting him fixed will help? Help!
