| Childproofing your home
Tisha Hughes remembered the "defining moment" when she knew it was time to step up childproofing her home to protect her 10-month-old son, Cameron. Cameron, a proficient crawler who's mastered the art of pulling himself up to stand while holding onto furniture, was puttering around the dining room one day when he decided to use a chair to help him stand. "When he pulled up on the chair, it fell backward and hit him on the forehead," she recalled. Fortunately, Cameron wasn't injured. But his mother was "pretty freaked out" by the incident. Soon after, the Hugheses had a big garage sale.

Losing the moonlight
It's a dream you've always had. You build a small cabin on a patch of land near the river. Though a few other cabins nestle nearby, you hardly can see them through the trees. With their planked sides, all the cabins blend into the woods and it's as if you had escaped the noise and glare of the modern world. Then one evening you see your neighbor's cabin all lit up, as though someone were working into the night -- some construction on the roof, perhaps, or on the siding. Only the light never goes off. .
