Home, Furniture & Kitchen

Planning and designing your baby's nursery is an exciting time, and you'll want to be sure your furniture choices are both functional and stylish.

If there was one thing I really soaked up as a first time parent, it was the advice of fellow parents telling me what worked and what didn’t work for their newborns. My wife and I went overboard with some of the things we bought. What were their newborn must-haves? I posed the question to parents across the country and they gave me their thoughts which I added with my wife’s and my own to bring you a checklist of things to consider for your newborn.

Back to school is right around the corner, so by now you’ve probably either picked up all the essentials or are planning on doing so very soon. Maybe you got a new backpack, some new binders and notepads, and pens and pencils galore. That’s all great, but if you don’t have a decent surface to work on, you’ll likely be studying while cross-legged on the floor. So here are eight desk options that will help you make this year the most productive yet.

When I think of the BBQ, I think of burger recipes. Most people stick to the basic hamburger, done up in a bun with mustard, relish, ketchup and maybe a pickle or two, but this year it might just be time to branch out a bit and explore your burger options. With so many different hamburger recipes to choose from, you could make a new version of the classic every night of the week.

When you have some time off, somtimes it's nice to just stay home and destress, or use the time to turn your home into your own slice of paradise.

I tested out 3 VTech video baby monitors: the VTech VM5254, VM5254-2 with 2 cameras, and VTech RM5754HD with a 5" screen. Here are my thoughts on these monitors.

There are ways kids can help around the house, and in the first part of a three-part series, we look at what they can do in the kitchen.

Where I grew up, we didn’t have ‘food trends.’ Everything we ate was simple, basic, and comfortable – from roast beef and mashed potatoes to chili and mashed potatoes. If we were going to spice things up, maybe we’d have spaghetti or pizza.   So imagine my surprise when the person who did all of the cooking during my formative years, the woman who actually served me lasagna and mashed potatoes (I’m not joking), called me up and started talking to me about quinoa. And she wasn’t just calling for a definition of what quinoa is either – she was talking about her long list of personal quinoa salad recipes. I almost dropped the phone in shock. After all, quinoa doesn’t include ground beef or mashed potatoes in the ingredient list, so this was quite a detour.
