I need ideas on decorating my childrens bedroom, problem is it has to be unisex I have 2 boys and a girl.?
Q. I need ideas quick I have 2 boys and a girl, my baby girl is 1 and will be 2 so we didn't want to put her in her own room just yet. I was thinking of dividing the room in half, but how can I decorate it without doing Sponge Bob who is unisex. Any unisex character theme ideas out there help me out.
A. Why cartoon characters? Kids interests change so fast, you'll be redecorating before you know it. Besides, why push commercialism on kids that small? Try something more generic...like a beach theme, with a lighthouse and a boat...that sort of thing. Or an aquarium. All kids like fish. And who's to say what is "for boys" and "for girls"? You could easily do a sports themed room, or a cowboy/cowgirl room.
What are some fun things to do over the holiday?
Q. Me and my mom want to do something fun over Christmas break, and we need more suggestions. We live in Toronto,Ontario and no snow there so we can't go tobogganing or build a snowman etc. We have done lots of shopping, and we only have 2 fun suggestions of stuff to do. Any other fun things to do?
A. There are actually some fun things to do during your good time!
1. Go out of town - Although holidays may be lazily spent at home, why would you let yourself get stuck at home for days doing nothing? That will eventually become boring so if you want, it would be best if you just pack your bags, score some tickets, and plan your trip elsewhere. Take the kids somewhere nice like a family resort or go on a romantic trip with your loved one and spend your days away from worries and stress.
2. Redecorate - Have you been looking at repainting the walls? Are the kids telling you they want a new theme for their bedroom? In case you decide to stay at home during the holidays, make it fun and interesting by doing your home or even just a part of it a makeover with everyone else! It'll be exciting to plan decors and even buy them together as you create the new version of the home or its room that you want to reanimate.
3. Go to a spa - Since it's time to take away your stress and totally relax during the holidays, you might as well take this time to hit the spa. This can also be a romantic event that you and your loved ones or special someone can share.
4. Fix the house - You might not notice it at first but trying to be your home's very own handyman can be a fun and interesting to do. This is of course extra special if done with the family. There are lots of DIY articles that you can read up online if there are specific things that you needed to repairs on. Plus, online shops are peppered with hardware tools that you would find useful.
5. Go on a road trip - Whoever said that traveling should be expensive? Go on a camping trip or simply go out on a roadtrip across the state! The biggest investment that you would only have here is for gas and some supplies that you would need to bring with you during the trip.
6. Go to the beach - The holidays is also the perfect time to get a new tan or just enjoy the beach without any hassles. Pack your bags, fill it with beach clothes and make sure you don't forget your sunblock.
7. Cook and bake at home - The holiday season may also be the perfect time for you to unleash your inner chef. Plan some recipes that you have always wanted to try and cap it off by daring yourself to bake even just a simple yet yummy chocolate cake.
These are just some of the fun things you can do during the holidays. Just remember that in the midst of all these things, what's most important is that you get to do it with the people who are dearest to you.

What are some good ideas of things to send to my fiance in Iraq?
Q. My fiance was deployed a while ago, I sent him a package with an auto magazine, photo album, some fruit snacks, hand sanitizer.. a few other odds and ends. Does anyone have any good ideas of things to send? Or things that would be useful? I sent him the build a bear with voice recording a couple months ago, and an Easter basket with candy and fun things.. Any other ideas!? Thank you so much for your feedback!
A. I send a package to my husband like every two weeks also when he deploys. I also have an 11 page attachment if you would like it that have different themed care packages that i have put together through hubby's deployments. These theme care packages make it a little more fun to shop for when you have a certain theme in mind. I have used many of them and then you can just talior it to your fiance. Here are some other sites:

Some things I sent hubby:
-summertime I sent a "Summer Fun Box", beach balls, frisbee, stick to door basketball hoop, nerf balls, etc.,
-things and snacks that i knew he would like. I also sent him things that his friends liked to because they didn't get much.
-cd's of his favorite music
-lots of cards and letters
-I also sent him a box full of unused cards such as thinking of you, Christmas Cards, Birthday Cards, Miss you cards, etc., that he could send back home to family and friends. It is hard to find cards there.
-I sent him Cake in A Jar
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1096421/how_to_bake_cake_in_a_jar.html?cat=22
-Sent him themed Care Packages (some can be as cute as you want and some can be as adult as you make it). One time I took a picture of our front door closed from the outside. Then a picture of the front door open and a picture of the floor. Then a picture of my shirt on the floor, then a picture of my shoes on the floor, then my socks on the floor, then my pants on the floor, then took a picture of my bra on the floor, then I took a picture of my undies on the floor, then I took a picture of our bedroom, then I took a picture of just the bed. Then put a little note that said wish you were here, miss you in my bed. Something like that. Remember though to take the pictures while making your way to the bedroom with the stuff on the floor so it looks like you are dropping your colthes on the way to the bedroom.
-Another thing you can do: buy a new pillowcase. Every night before you go to bed, take a shower but leave your hair a little damp before getting into bed. After a week, the pillowcase will smell like you. Package this up in a ziploc baggie and send a note with it "Something to remind you of me".
-Write in a journal. I sent this to hubby after every 2-3 months. Of course he still got plently of cards and letters but the journal was more thoughtful and more personal. I would write in it right before I went to bed. I wrote everything down, just like a regular journal. My feelings, what i did, what I ate, something that was funny to me that day, something that made me think of him that day, that I spoke to so and so, what the kids did, etc.,,. I then sent that to him. You know that sometimes we always don't get that long phone call or forget to tell them certain things by the time we do talk to them. Or letters that we don't want to make to long because we don't have the time. Hubby loved this because he said it still made him feel close to me and the kids even though he was gone for a year.
-Send him a photo album. Include pictures of his family, your family (as long as he likes them), kids, you, friends, his favorite car, his favorite boat, his favorite place to eat, his favorite place to visit, etc., I sent something like this to him and included letters from friends and family. I also put together a photo album every 4 months for him of things the girls and I did.
-Does he need anything for his room: storage containers, shelves, blankets, new sheets, pillows, footlockers (you know those rectangle black ones), a clock, picture frames, towels, washclothes, shower curtains (you would be surpised how yucky the ones they are using are), a foldable chair, a small table, paper plates, cups, silverware, etc.,
-Indivdually wrapped goodies and snacks. This way they stay fresher. this also includes the drink mixes that can be added to water.
-If he has access to a microwave, some microwave treats
-slippers, robe
Hope all is well and that some of these sites are useful. Good luck and have fun.

Looking at a job in Portland, OR. What are the pros and cons I should consider for relocating?
Q. I currently live in Madison, WI. I am trying to find out what makes Portland unique, why I would want to live there, what might keep me away. Any recommendations on what I should do while I am out there for the job interview?
A. I don't understand why so many people in this question hate Portland. It's beautiful here! There are certainly more than 2 months of sunshine. We are sunny from May through September. Quite often September is the hottest month of the year. The rain isn't so bad, you get used to it. In reality it doesn't rain THAT much. Last year we had 155 days of rain (total, not in a row). It it rarely rains in the summer time, in fact summer is gets really really hot. Check out this wiki for an accurate picture of Portland weather:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland,_Oregon#Climate
Are winters will certainly be better than your WI winters. Even though it rains, it really doesn't get that cold here. Again, probably warmer year round than your home state of WI.
There are many many things to do in Portland. We have one of the largest bookstores in the country, Powells Books. You could get lost there for hours on the rainiest day. We have more coffee houses than should probably be legal. Quite a few of them have live music, poetry readings and an over all cheerful friendly atmosphere. We have a huge museum and many different art houses. Arcades galore, even one downtown that specializes in games from the '80s/early '90s. There are a lot of locally owned businesses, Portland is big on that. So there is a lot of shopping and antique shops that are fun on rainly days. We have Oaks Park which is our very own mini-theme park. It also has a roller skating rink if you have kids. We also have many theaters and art houses to take in a play, lots offer plays for kids too.
Downtown has a lot to offer in the ways of entertainment. We have the Japanese and Chinese gardens that are beautiful. As I said, many art houses and museums. The water front hosts a lot of events and parties from the Rose Festival in June (along with a parade and night time light parade), we celebrate with a carnival for CInco de Mayo. They host a Jazz festival every year and the Bite of Portland which has lots of yummy food.
The Saturday Market is HUGE and lots of fun. They have live music, street preformers and hand made goodies for sale. All food there is also hand made: http://www.portlandsaturdaymarket.com/
Portland also has lots of Pubs, bars, Taverns and Karaoke bars that are good for rainy days with good company and pool: http://www.barflymag.com/.
We always have concerts going on at the Rose Garden along with different sporting events.
Rent is NOT that bad here. I live in a nice two bedroom apartment for $575 a month. Rent can run the gamut from terribly expensive if you are in a certain area to really affordable. I lived in a huge apartment on NE 24th for two years. It was close to down town, shopping, public transportation and in a nice school district. Real estate also isn't that bad compared to the rest of the country. Again it depends on the area. A competent real estate agent would be able to find you what you were looking for. If it were as bad as the other answers have stated, all the Californians wouldn't be moving here.
If the weather was so awful, Portlanders wouldn't be so bit on the outdoors as we are. We are an hour and half from the beach, an hour away from Mt. Hood and snow, a few hours drive south east and you're in the desert. There are also many many rivers and forests for hiking, swimming and fun. This is why Portland is so outdoor and environmentally conscious, we love our state and want to keep it healthy and pretty.
We've had problems in the past when it comes to employment, but it has been on the rise. Look on the oregonian website and other employment sites. They are there.
Portland has a very unique feel to it. We are big into the arts, the environment, local businesses and Portland itself. We take pride in our city and like to keep it up. I've lived many places and I've never found a city I've loved more. I also don't know what people are are thinking when we say we aren't friendly or friendly to outsiders. When I've had people come to visit out of state all they do is talk about how friendly the people are. I've had one visitor say it was 'odd' because he wasn't used to it. We joke about Californians moving here for real estate, but it's all good natured ribbing. Portlanders on average are kind and helpful.
While you're out here go to Multnomah Falls, visit down town and just walk around. Especially NW 21st and 23rd with all the shops there. Visit Powells Books (4 floors!) and grab some coffee at Stump Town then swing through the Japanese Gardens.. If you are here on the weekend visit the Saturday Market. Definitely hit up the Portland Art Museum and perhaps catch a play at the Portland Center Stage. OOOH I forgot OMSI! Visit OMSI and the World Forestry Center! OMSI is the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. (I'll just link you at the bottom because this has gotten so huge but it's amazing fun, they currently have the human body works showing. It's creepy and cool!).
So move here, you'll not regret it!!! If I listed to much to do on your visit, come back for more, we aren't going anywhere. And for everything I listed there are hundreds of other things not listed. So see, there is PLENTY to do and see in Portland despite what other answerers have said. I think they just don't know about the city and haven't gotten out enough.
