    Value of New Mover Mailings

    My new mover mailings have been on fire-and-forget for quite a while now and I’ve been wondering about their effectiveness.

    Diaper Changing Tables

    I don’t trust the wall mounted ones with our interior walls containing those crappy metal studs. Any recommendations or ideas for free standing diaper changing tables? Something of stable/sturdy wood construction (instead of plastic) would match our decor nicely.
