Thank you to all those of you who have contributed in any way to this blog. We've decided to retire it. This blog has had its phases of success, but I think that time has passed. Families have grown and life has become progressively busier. Thank you again and goodbye to Sugar and Spice!

I was wondering if any of you have cookbooks or recipe websites that are more "natural" that you love. Or just healthy recipes in general that you and your kids love. I mainly struggle with lunch and snack ideas. Thanks!

Has anyone heard of this? Have you tried hypnobirthing techniques yourself or do you know of anyone who has. I am interested in trying this for my next delivery -- in about 4 months -- and I'd love to hear anyone's experience. I have read through my copy of a hypnobirthing book, I think some of the views are a little hoaky, even hippy-ish, but I do like the idea of self relaxation to prepare for

Ok so my 3 year old son sleeps in my bed. He falls asleep in my bed and then I move him to his bed. In the middle of the night he comes back into my bed. It actually doesn't really bother me that much but it really irritates my husband. He has started making lots of comments about it and so i think I need to train him to sleep all night in his own bed. We have tried talking to him about it and

Just wondering if anyone here on Sugar & Spice has every considered or actually used Aflac Insurance with any of their pregnancies? I had a co-worker who did and seemed to have a good experience. I know there's a 10 month rule, gotta be paying the premium 10 months before giving birth, otherwise the coverage is void.Anyone ever gone this route? What are your thoughts?

I know there are several of you on here who are musically talented, so I'm hoping you can help me out! My (almost!) three year old is very into music. She loves to sing and play around on the piano. Are there any things I can do to help her begin to learn the basics of playing piano and learning to sing? If the best thing I can do for her is to just let her bang around on the piano, that's fine!

I'm expecting my 2nd in 3 weeks and we'd like a carrier or a wrap for him. We had one for our first, but it was second hand, and I couldn't get her out of it by myself so I never used it. Now it seems there are so many different products out there! Wraps, slings, and carriers of all different price levels. What is everyone's recommendation on what to buy? And what do you like and dislike?

We are having our second child in a few months. My oldest turns four in September. At this point I am opting not to spend the money on a double stroller. My logic is that the baby will be small enough this summer to wear in a sling or front carrier. By next year when it's nice enough, my daughter will be 4 1/2. I am assuming that if I am places that require a lot of walking, where my

This year at tithing settlement, our branch president encouraged us to start having our three year old pay tithing, even if it was just a dime here and there. We actually hadn't even started giving her an allowance, or money for doing chores or anything yet. We put money in her savings account, but she hasn't really been a part of it. So, last night for FHE we talked about tithing, then

My friend and I are made a blog called Suprising Our Men in 2010! I would invite you to come check it out. The whole idea is to each day do something big or small for our husbands to help strengthen our relationships and put some of the magic back in our marriages. Come check it out and if you have ideas of things we can do please let me know!! http://surprisingourmen.blogspot.com/

The New Year is almost here and with that comes one of my most favourite traditions- setting new goals. I tried something new last year that did not work out well at all. My hope was to set one goal a month in each of three areas and work on those three goals throughout the month. The three categories- be faithful, lay up in store and unecumber my life, were taken from this talk. I found out I

Just want to know how everyone's Christmas went! What was your favourite gift you received? What was your favourite gift that you gave? Did you do any fun things to focus on the true meaning of Christmas this year? Can't wait to hear all about it.

Have any of you had your membranes stripped as a way to encourage labour? What was your experience like? I don't know that its something I would want to have done, but I've been looking into natural ways of encouraging labour since I went to 42 weeks with my first and don't REALLY want to do that again. I'd just like some opinions, thoughts, personal experiences etc. Thanks girls!

My family of four will be celebrating with just us this year, for the first time ever. I feel like I want Christmas Eve to be extra special. My kids are 3 and 18 months. If you have fun traditions or ideas to share for Christmas Eve, I would love to hear them. I'm also curious about what people like to eat for dinner on Christmas Eve.

What has been the most enjoyable/festive thing your family has done so far this Christmas season?

Do you stuff your husband's stocking? I am looking for some fun ideas for stuffing my husband's stocking. This is kind of the first time I am doing it because in years past we have always been with family and every adult there has put something in everyone's stocking. Anyway, if you have some fun ideas, please share! Kid ideas would be fun to share, too!

So after saying yesterday that I wasn't going to participate in Black Friday this year... I ended up going out!! Scott found a few things he was interested in while browsing the Target ad so we decided to go out together. I'm happy to say that being 35 1/2 weeks pregnant did not slow me down at all! Ü I want to hear what you girls got... how were the lines? Any obnoxious people? Any good deals?

So who all is planning to go out on black friday? Who do you go with? Are there specific toys that you are looking for? Is this anyones first time going or not going? I haven't decided if I am going but I have looked at all the ads on theblackfriday.com . Has anyone else taken a look on there?

Anyone doing the midnight showing??? I am not good at late nights anymore (in my old age of 28) but am so excited to see it tomorrow night!! When is everyone else going? Are you going to be all decked out in Twilight gear with all the teeny-boppers?? Just curious...

We just found out that my daughter is allergic to ALL nuts and to Eggs. I need yummy recipes that don't include these items. I am finding a lot of vegan recipes work for no eggs. Does anyone have recipes they can share or websites that will help me out! I am craving sweet things and breakfast items and can't have them. :( Thanks!

If you use coupons.com, have you also heard of couponbug.com? They have a lot of the same coupons so you can print them out again.

Okay, so I absolutely love playing with my girls. They are at such fun ages (3 and 18 months) and they play really well together. BUT, they ALWAYS want me playing with them. It makes it a little difficult to make dinner or do the laundry or shower... So I was wondering what activities your children like to do independently. Thanks!
