    Does anyone have a good homemade granola bar recipe?

    I made these with my after school cooking club kids (35 kids under the age of 10) and they were a HUGE hit. The pretzels added a great salty addition. Plus, they were no bake, which made them even better! We did everything in the microwave, not on the stovetop so the kids could do it...

    Mazda CX-7 or Mitsubishi Outlander?

    I like the look of the Mazda better, but the bells and whistles of the Outlander. I also know Mazda to have a better reputation, yet Consumer Reports and Edmunds both say Mitsubishi. Opinions??

    how do you pick up and hold an 18 month old?

    18 mos old is not really a baby. You pick her up like any other toddler--with two hands under her armpits, pick her up into the air and bring her toward your body. Settle her on your hip with one leg behind you and one around your front. That way you can hold her with one arm.

    Convertible car seat suggestions for 1999 Subaru Legacy SUS?

    Britax, hands down. They have a steel frame covered in energy foam, and their top of the line models (the decathalon and boulevard) have side impact protection foam. The Marathon doesn't have side impact protection, but their higher end models do. Plus, the straps NEVER twist and the LATCH...

    Screaming Baby - please help...?

    Does he cry whether you hold him or not? Try sitting in a chair with him, rubbing his back or patting him. Don't turn lights on and don't really talk to him so he knows you're there, but that you're not necessarily awake/ready to play. If he continues to cry, then he'll probably cry whether you...

    PLease hwlp with a 2 year old who will not share and screams MINE!!?

    It's normal and one of those, "this too shall pass" moments. One thing that may help you is to yell "Mine" when she goes for your stuff...only kidding! Just keep reminding her to share and if she refuses, take things away so no one gets to use them.

    How do you greet students and start them off the first day of school?

    I'm starting my first year of teaching in two weeks and don't know how to start things off--what do I say to them? Any tips/advice?How do I structure time that first day? I'll be teaching 6th grade Language Arts.

    has your preschooler ever complained that his "pee pee" hurt?

    It's completely normal--he's just getting boners, like you said. It's not painful, just uncomfortable and your son doesn't know how to distinguish the difference.
