1. Peas + avocado can = baby food. “Have you tried mixing the peas into the mashed avocado?” asks Marcy. “I do this when I make guacamole for the adults, anyway, and thought it might work as a covert mission to get baby to eat some peas ” Sounds good to us! See other DIY baby food ideas here.

2. Sometimes you need to remember to splurge on experiences, not just items. You all had great insight on the skimp-or-splurge post, but Tiffany’s comment was a bit poignant. She says, “Mostly I’ve found that I tend to skimp on expensive experiences or vacation souvenirs and regret it. Later I think, ‘Oh we really should have done that Segway tour, zipline, whatever.’” Tell us what you skimp or splurge on here.

3. Need a narrow doormat? Try a stair tread! “Search for ’stair treads’ instead of ‘narrow doormats’; they’ll do the job just fine!” says jen, who also notes, “All doormats at Smith & Hawken (<3) are on sale right now." Thanks for the tip! See others on right-sizing the doormat here.

4. Online mapping — it’s not just for cars anymore. Noah writes, “You might also want to check out Walk Jog Run, which does the same kinda thing, but allows you to pre-plan (and share) routes. Very neat.” He was commenting on our post about gmap-pedometer.

5. Some people really, really love pink bathrooms! 50s Pam from one of our favorite sites, Retro Renovation, recently left this comment on a post from the past: “This post and others encouraged me to start a new blog — http://SaveThePinkBathrooms.com — all about, yes — vintage pink bathrooms. They are treasures.” Do you agree?
