Please let me know if you have any. Thanks!

This is totally random, but I'm just wondering what everyone does on the weekends. I think it's because I secretly think everyone is having more fun than me. Anyway, here's what I do (very different now that I have a child!): Friday night: Eat dinner at home and then watch TV...

My son just figured out how to pop open his stroller harness and climb out of his stroller. Is there a product I can buy to somehow lock him in so he can't get out? I searched Amazon and couldn't find anything, but I know other people must have this problem. My mom says back in the day she used...

...too bad I just bought a semi-fixer with no view which is STILL gutted and won't be finished until (hopefully) early next year. Wah. Here it is: <a href="http://www.redfin.com/CA/Laguna-Niguel/28471-Rancho-De-Juana-92677/home/4926987">My housecrush - 28471 Rancho de Juana</a> I think...

I thought I'd share my latest unexpectedly delicious food discovery...Cacique Crema Mexican Agria! We have tacos a lot and usually just use regular sour cream. But this week on a whim I thought I'd pick up some of this stuff to try instead. It was DELICIOUS! Much tastier, smoother, and creamier...

Just wanted to share my experience going to this open house last weekend. Here's the Redfin listing: <a href="http://www.redfin.com/CA/Newport-Beach/20-Tideline-Blf-92657/home/5930594">20 Tideline Bluff</a> It's priced at $4.375 million. You'd think such a $$$ house would be amazing...

I was in northern New Jersey a couple of months ago visiting relatives, and it just amazed me how different the houses are there. For one thing, they have so much more land! My aunt's backyard was so huge. They have just a regular middle-class family house, but their yard was this huge grassy...

I just read that Jon Gosselin is going to be leaving "Jon and Kate Plus 8," so the show is now going to cleverly be named...wait for it..."Kate Plus 8." I guess Jon is too busy trying to recapture his lost bachelor lifestyle and shopping for Ed Hardy clothes. <a...

I'd like to share my recent adventures in real estate, in case anyone is bored enough to want to read it. My husband and I just bought a house after searching for about a year. When we first started looking, we didn't know anything about real estate except that everyone and their grandmother...

I'm just curious what the breakdown is among forum members. I apologize if this poll has been done already. I did a quick search and didn't see it. Thanks for answering!

Sometimes I have things I want to get off my chest, but I can't because it is socially unacceptable or none of my business. So how about doing it here? Dear B: It is tacky to put "gift cards welcome, thanks!" on that little note on your Babies R Us baby registry. This is tacky because...

I'm looking for an MLS listing for a house that closed in August. I know it's in San Clemente, but I don't have the address. I do have some pictures so I'm going to try to narrow it down that way. Any ideas for sites where I can look?

I thought today's blog post was really interesting and informative. It made me wonder (and this might be a stupid question), but is the lack of foreclosures hitting the market part of what is stopping the high end from dropping? If I'm understanding correctly, this is what's happening in the...

I've read that really rich people buy houses for all cash instead of financing them. Does anyone know what the cut-off is in terms of home price for doing this? Obviously it would depend on the buyer, but probably people buying $5 million homes just cash them, right? Like Jennifer Aniston, for...

Title says it all. Opinions please.

10 Aberdeen, in Northwood. Apparently it was a foreclosure that sold for $625k in May. It came back on the market yesterday at $779,990. It's been all renovated and looks pretty nice (although a little over the top for my taste). We were there for maybe 15 minutes, and we probably saw 5...
