Pool blue shoes are out of the question.

I need something for when my Nephew comes over to let him take naps in, However I live in an apartment so space is important when it is not in use. SO something that folds up nicely and has a storage bag would be great. He is here 4 days a week all day long soon he`ll be rolling over so I do not want to keep putting him on our bed. any suggestions would help!!!!!

We are going camping for a week in July, and Instead of lugging along my extra large bottles of shampoo Im opting for a 2 in 1. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have long thick hair so anything with a moisturizer would be great!

I can not plan anything with out her stepping in and trying to take control. Or telling me how much I`m doing wrong. It drives me crazy. we have a vacation planned for Spring Break 2010 15 months away. She is already trying to take control of everything when there is 12 other people going besides her.I am the only one who has went to South Carolina before. I don`t want to be mean or yell or anything but she is pushing me there. I have 15 months and 12 people that need to be considered 4 which are childern. I have tried to put her in control of things to do. But she doesn`t consider other people, we have a 55 year old to a will be 18 month old going. and all sorts in between.

I just don`t want this to turn into the disney trip of 2007.... it was bad every minute of every day was planned. when we ate when we slept when we showered. it drove me nuts. I can not put everyone threw that. HELP

How much do they sleep?

How long?

How much do formula do they take?

How often?

Where should they be developmentally?

any tips...

My sister just got called back into active duty she leaves in less than a week. and come to find out I get my nephew. So anything would help thank you!

We do a big christmas dinner all my brothers and their families come, along with their wives parents, and grand parents and friends. About 40 of us total we still buy pretty much for everyone but smaller less expensive gifts for like say my two sister in laws, parents. Would pop corn tins fall under that? I have a few left over from Boy Scouts this year and would love to use them for that. Just wondering if those would be acceptable gifts.

We have already had her baby shower she got a ton of clothes, but really nothing else to much. Shes on bed rest this is number 3 for her, number 1 for my brother. Its been over 10 years since she has had a toddler even in the house. She was told this morning that the she could go into labor at any time she has about 6 weeks before her due date. What do I need to do to make sure they have everything they need. and What do they need. Thanks for your help.

At my sister in laws baby shower this weekend, Whom should I put in charge of keeping track and writing down the gifts she receives from everyone, for thank you cards. Neither Grandmothers to be, should do it in my opinon, that way they can enjoy the baby shower as much as her, they are also older. There will be about 40 people there, and Daddy to be will be there as well. Any suggestions are helpful thank you!

We share a father, however she is older than I am, and has lost touch with our father since she was 12 when her and her mother moved away to AZ 30 years ago. What do you say in a letter to someone you have never met. I do not want to offend her or cause her any unwanted memories to arise.

Not sure what range of stuff I should pick up. suggestions would be great! 3 family members will be staying the weekend with us while we celebrate our grandmothers 90th birthday.

Are 8''x10'' brightly colored large lettering signs ok? or should I go bigger? The directions were included on the back of the invite, in a nice map. However for those few people that get lost going home from the store, I am putting out a few signs marking certian roads. How Big should the sign be? One particular road speed Limit is 60mph the others are a standard country road so 55 mph. Your opinons would be greatly appericated!

Was thinking about taking a group of family members to go to a Drive in this weekend and taking snacks and pop and all that good stuff its really cheap and i think it would be a good enjoyable time for everyone!

My cat all of a sudden (shes almost 2 years old) is refusing to drink out of her water bowl will just leave it there full. And drinks out of anything else. Including the Toilet or even fish bowl. It has been the same Water bowl. We do the same thing with it wash it weekly on sunday extra rinses, and let it dry fill it up and give it to her. its the same water that's in the fish bowl and in the toilet. Should i be concerned or maybe try a different bowl. She has been doing this since we got back from a weekend away where we left out one of the large water bowls that has the jug of water on it. We don`t put that out because she plays in it all the time. She even recently knocked over my husbands water glass and started licking it off the carpet. I don't know what to do I have even tried filtered water.

Im already making a lot of stuff here but would love not to spend a ton of money on it. so any suggestions for quick not to hard and cheaper side dishes???

Having about 20 or so guests, Want to go simple with food options but want to make sure they get enough to eat. Was thinking Fresh Fruit, Finger Foods. But I don`t know what. Any Suggestions would help Thanks!!!!!!

Going in for something else supposibly our oxygen sensor is seesed up even though its only 4 years ago it was replaced because of a recall.

Do you put it in the past and just keep it in the back of your mind at all times. I feel like i have to question everything he says.

My Sister In Law had a Huge fit when she found out they were going to bring their small 12lb dog with them and keep him in his kenel while they were there over night because they had no one to watch him at home. He is a sweet dog. In less than a month. Now she is refusing to have them stay at her LARGE home because she doesn`t want that dog around hers. Her dog is an outside dog stays outside all the time enless its bad weather. So now because of her it has to be my way or no way attitude towards life. I have to put up my aunt and uncle and my cousin and give up my bed the night of my Grandmothers 90th birthday which I am planning and doing everything for. Shes like this with everything. If she isn`t in control it has to be her way or she gets pissy my brother stays out of her way pretty much all the time. I want to say something to her but with out her blowing it out of proportion and into a huge fight how should I go about it with someone that is a spoiled brat plain and simple
