Decorating your home for the holidays is one of the most beloved traditions. Every neighborhood has that one home that seems to say it all. Upload photos of the homes that shine for all to see.

Gtg ... btw ... bbl ... brb ... tmrw ... ly2 ... Blackberries aren't just a fruit to go atop your cereal anymore! Are you up to speed on not only the lingo, but how it all works? So many ways to stay connected, how do you do it?

On this widget you will see the results of any quiz you take when you are logged in. Since quizzes are irresistable, and they tell so much about you, this is a fun way to show the rest of the community a little more about you.

Spills and stains go hand-in-hand with an active family lifestyle. Elbow grease and soap don't always do the job. Soaking just doesn't always do the trick ... so what does? What have you learned through the years to do to get out what type of stain? Or, what is the best solution for cleaning whatever it is that needs cleaning? Have before and after shots? Upload them here.

Every day we ask a new burning question and put it to the community to give their confessions, opinions and true life stories. If you have this widget on your profile, you'll always have something fresh and juicy each time you return.

When the kids are clamoring for something to eat, what do you give them that they will love, but you know is healthy for them? Old family recipes are delicious, but can be updated to fit in today's health-conscious mindset. Turkey is for more than just the holidays and provides healthy alternatives to the most favorite of tried and true recipes. How do you do it?

There is so much cuteness in our families that if we ever combined our powers of cute, we think we might cause puppies and flowers to explode from our computer screens. We're sharing our cutest pictures, just to see how much Ooooing and Ahhhing we can do without a meltdown. We think we can take it. Our theory is, there is no such thing as too much cute.

Every night we've got to put something on the table. What if, like on those cooking shows, there was a whole bunch of people who cheered when we added more garlic? This is our way of having some company when we cook for our families, so our great ideas can inspire others or our lame attempts can make other people feel not so bad. So we're sharing our plans, recipes, and photos about dinner.

Some of us have this covered, but the rest of us struggle to stay on top of keeping our homes neat and clean. We find ourselves ogling Pottery Barn catalogs thinking: if only we were more organized and thorough, we too could enjoy that kind of peace. But we need a little moral support. So here's where we share our efforts to get our homes in order.

If we only pay attention to kids when they're doing something wrong, they'll keep doing the wrong thing to get our attention. Show your children how proud you are of their behavior by telling us how you caught them in the act ... of being good.
