HomeCooked I dont care tooo much it depends on the item, shoes and handbags must be name brands, but as long as a clothing item fits well and has strong seams, I dont really care who made it take care

HomeCooked My son also started pulling up and walking at 6 months by 8 months he was running!! My doctor said that there is no problem with it, it does not cause bow leggedness, babies look bow legged because of the way their legs are folded in the womb and they dont...

I have this massive scar on my leg from falling about 4 months ago, I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to minimise it or get rid of it?

HomeCooked its important not to tan the area, beacuse scars can get darker and wont return to their original color after the tan has gone, so be sure to use sun block on that spot.

HomeCooked yes, you could use the balls with this also!! Make a solution with the baking soda, or use the vinegar, alo lemon juice and peroxide with water is a substitute for bleach!! try the lemon juice on kids stains where you are afraid to use bleach!

HomeCooked Its a tough spot, but, if you tell the other parents, not laming, but just asking for their assistance to find what happened. Especially if you were going to have a complaint with the police, why should your family take all the heat? Thats not fair. At the...

You'd think that keeping lipstick in place would be a simple thing. But, it's been so long since I've worn it on a regular basis, so I think I'm out of practice. My current lipstick smears terribly and ends up looking weird. I'm...

HomeCooked There is a great producet called my lips are sealed, its awesome, its hard to find though, try on line. Also the non smearing and wearing outlast brands dont wear well I find, they are gummy on the inside on the lip and feel groos.

HomeCooked I would call the boys parents, all the parents should be involved. Im sure you have good reason for your 8 year old to have a phone. But, maybe at this point its a good idea to get him one of those sidekick phones where you pre program what numbers can be...

Here they really promote desitin and balmex. But neither ever worked for my daughters. I have found that A&D brand works better for my little ones. It clears up a diaper rash very quickly and doesn't hurt them when its applied.

HomeCooked hey just thought of something, have you ever seen those teddys that have a heartbeat sound? They are supposed to be very soothing to children. I never got one but they are supposed to be very good. The baby wisperer is top notch, and its an easy read, they...

HomeCooked I think you need to do it for the child sake. As harde as it is you wont do it because you dont love him do it because you do. Tough parenting problems begin from birth, not just when they are 15. The way I look at it, it is important for him to learn...

I'm trying to lose weight again. But, my biggest problem is that I never feel full. And, that means, I end up binging on foods that I really don't want to eat. And, of course, that is not helping my weight loss efforts. Most times...
