Ryan just lost his first tooth, so I’ll be using the Tooth Fairy jar for sure!
And I am in LOVE with the clost mudroom. I have a mudroom, but I still wish I could incorporate that somehow!

My favorites are the panning for gold and the tooth fairy jar! I guess I’m in trouble, because I haven’t read several of the books on the list for “before you’re 30″ and I’m well-past.
Thanks for putting another great list together.

I love reading your posts even though I don’t comment every day. Don’t let few replies bring you down. I know, for me, I read it in my few spare moments so it brightens my day.
Thank you for compiling so many great ideas and tips. I love the links you provide.

Wow, not happy about the posting on the putting food in old egg cartons. What a terrible idea! Is salmonella really worth a cheap carrier? Like I posted on that blog, I don’t care what choice you make for your own family, just don’t subject others to it unwittingly!

Awesome list! You just combined hours of blog-hopping into one post! Thanks!

Amy,
Since I’ll be turning 30 right around the time you turn 31 =), I enjoyed reading through the suggested reading list. I’ve only read 6, and most of those are because I was an English major!
