First up, Jenn over at Mommy Needs Coffee, wrote about Bringing Back Family Night over at EA. I really loved this article because this is something that my family really enjoys. While we don't have a Wii, we are into card games (particularly Uno, Crazy Eights, Hearts and Gin Rummy) as well as board games such as Monopoly. The girls and I enjoy time on Webkinz, and yes, I even have adopted a pet named Pudge. We also love to bake (dad is the taste tester), do different projects and watch movies together. I think the whole concept of Family Night comes in so many different forms. I'm now reminded that, due to our busy schedules, those nights have become few and far between. We've all decided that once we settle into our schedules, we will try to bring them back, even if it's only a few times a month. It's a start. Do any of you have a family night you would like to share?

Secondly, Busy Mom has a post up about how to load the silverware in a the dishwasher. Anyway, she asked the question "How do you load your sliverware into the dishwasher? Handles up? Handles down? Something else? My response?

Handles up. And knives go with knives, forks go with forks...etc. That way, you not only avoid putting your hands on parts that go into your mouth or on your food, you have the added bonus of grabbing a section...and putting it away with ease, rather than having to sort it out. I also take it a step further. I have a "good set" of every day silverware, and then and older, sort of mixed bag. If I have the room, I even separate them that way as well. It's just easier to put away, and baby, I'm all about lazy easy.

What about you?

Lastly, here is my question to you. Toilet paper roll over, or under?
