10 Kirkland Products You Should Buy From Costco | Mark Wallengren | KOST 103.5

1 day ago   Jan 24, 2017 at 4:42pm PST   Oct 4, 2015 at 7:28am PDT   Dec 15, 2015 at 9:58pm PST Yup, beer. And beer aimed right at the sweet spot: light. None of those fancy craft beers. Kirkland Signature Light Beer is your basic watery light, with a hint of plain ol' light beer taste, without Bud Light's off-putting (in my opinion) aftertaste. We've seen it at very nice prices in 30- and 48-packs. Yes, please.   Dec 7, 2016 at 7:55am PST   5. Kirkland Ice Cream May 23, 2014 at 11:13pm PDT At $11 for two half-gallons, it's a bit pricey in my world considering you can usually find a leading ice cream brand such as Breyers on sale at the supermarket for a lot less. Coupons can bring down the supermarket price even more. (Costco doesn't accept manufacturers' coupons.)     A photo posted by @golfnorthwest on Dec 20, 2016 at 10:52am PST Golfers got giddy over Costco's new line of golf balls, so much that they sold out, were restocked – and sold out again right before Christmas.

Feeding Your 1- to 2-Year-Old

Feeding Your 1- to 2-Year-Old

  Your job is to keep introducing new flavors and textures. Food preferences are set early in life, so help your child develop a taste for healthy foods now. Toddlers have little tummies, so serve foods that are packed with the nutrients they need to grow healthy and strong, and limit the sweets and empty calories. Your toddler will continue to explore self-feeding, first with fingers and then with utensils at around 15 to 18 months of age. Give your child many opportunities to practice these skills, but lend a hand when frustrations arise. As skills develop, step back and let your little one take over. Toddlers also like to assert their independence, and the table is one place where you should give yours some sense of control. Allow your toddler to respond to internal cues for hunger and fullness but set the boundaries. Remember: You decide what variety of healthy foods to offer at a meal and your child decides which of those foods to eat, how much to eat, and whether to eat at all.

Ask Dr. Sears: Whole or Two Percent? | Parenting

Ask Dr. Sears: Whole or Two Percent? | Parenting

Q:  Our pediatrician wanted me to introduce our one-year-old to two percent milk instead of whole milk. The doctor says that she doesn't need all of the harmful fat in the whole milk and that they have equal amounts of vitamins. Is this correct, and is this okay for her, developmentally speaking? A: Your pediatrician is correct. As babies grow into toddler years, most do not need the extra fat of whole milk and do just fine with two percent milk. Yet the question of when to switch from whole to low-fat milk depends upon your toddler's overall nutrition. In my pediatric practice, I usually wait until two years of age to switch a toddler from whole milk to two percent milk. The reason why has more to do with toddlers' temperament rather than developmental needs: Most toddlers are picky eaters and need the extra fat for extra calories. If your toddler has an overall balanced diet, then switching to two percent milk is fine . As your pediatrician mentioned,

How much milk does your toddler really need?

How much milk does your toddler really need?

  After the age of 1, your toddler's need for milk decreases dramatically. In fact, too much milk may leave her prone to iron-deficiency anemia and possibly obesity. Find out what kind of milk is appropriate for your child and how much she needs to fulfill her daily vitamin D and calcium requirements. Milk does a body good. Yes it does. It's chockfull of protein, fat, calcium and vitamin D. However, once your tot turns 1, the amount of milk she needs is actually quite less than you might think. This holds true both for breastfeeding and formula feeding babies. How much? Now that your baby is a toddler, milk is meant to be enjoyed with a meal, not be the meal. This is quite a big transition and often parents still assume that their child needs a cup or bottle full of milk upwards of 4 to 5 times per day. " „ The reality is that toddlers should not consume more than 24 ounces of milk per day. Ideally,

How to Fix a Running Toilet: 7 Steps (with Pictures) - wikiHow

Your toilet flushes just fine, but it doesn't know when to quit. Perhaps it stops running and then starts up again suddenly or constantly leaks into the bowl. Either way, it's wasting a lot of water and making that noise that keeps you up at night. Fortunately, it's usually not difficult or expensive to repair a toilet if you know a bit about how they work. Be systematic about tracking down the problem. There are only so many things that can go wrong inside a toilet tank.

Take a look inside the tank. If the water level rises above the overflow tube, the problem may be with the float or the inlet valve on the ballcock. Remember that the float rises with the level of the water and tells the inlet valve when to shut off the flow. If this mechanism doesn't work properly, the water keeps rising until it spills through the overflow tube and into the bowl (Image 1). To check the inlet valve, flush the toilet and, as the water rises, gently lift the rod that holds the float (Image 2) until you hear the water stop. If the water stops, the inlet valve is OK, and the problem is caused by the float.

Baby Shoe Sizing - Infant Shoes - Cheeky Little Soles

Infants and toddlers feet can vary greatly in size. The best way to determine the correct infant shoe size to purchase is by measuring their feet. The approximate age ranges we advise are general, we recommend that you measure your child's feet to get the best fit.

How to Measure Baby's Feet

  1. If possible have baby stand on a piece of paper. Make a pencil mark at the heel and the longest toe,
    making sure toes are flat and not curled. Measure with a ruler to get the length.
  2. Be sure to measure both feet as they may be different lengths. 
  3. Always allow  0.5cm – 1 cm extra for wiggle room when selecting the correct shoe size.

Anyone know if there is a difference between single grain and whole grain baby cereals? I bought whole grain oatmeal and was planning to use this as the first solid, but I'm wondering if single grain means it's easier to digest. Anyone know?
