Going camping next week in Michigan. Last year we went to the same place and we had a crazy amount of Daddy Long Leg spiders...both inside the tent and on the tent when we would wake up in the morning. My daughter is terrified of spiders and it really kind of ruined her time because of this. She's not a little kid - she's an adult and has a true fear of spiders. Any suggestions for a repellent to keep them away from our tent or campsite? Preferably a "natural" repellent.

Answer
I tried to find a natural repellant, however the best article I found was

I have used borax as a general spider repellant and that worked well

What should my 19 month old son sleep in, he outgrew his crib?

My son has skillfully learned how to climb out of his crib, its actually quit impressive. But it is obviously dangerous, so we are putting the crib away. He is currently sleep on his matress on the floor, but it is now almost impossible to get him to go to sleep. He just wants to wander around his room. We are looking for a bed for him. Any suggestions. Do they make little kids bed that will encourage him to stay in it? Not necessarily cage him in, but something?

Answer
You can buy a crib tent which attaches to the rails of his cribs and has a dome over the top which zips open and closed to put him in and take him out of. Then, he's not climbing. That'd be the best option for the moment and will buy you time before moving him to a big boy bed.
