Can anyone tell me an easy way to get your heart level with your child up while they are still in the crib?

I don't think you can :/ My kid didn't get a heart until she grew up, and I picked up/played with rattle everyday.

My child is in the crawling stage and has one heart.

Eh really? What have you been doing?
Or maybe I had one heart the whole time and it just never went higher? I don't know, don't remember. ><

My son is walking and has one heart. I pick him up and rattle at him a million times a day. And if I remember, I rub him.

You're sick.

Wii remote wise. But only if I remember.

I got my game a few days ago :3

How long does it take to get a heart from a person? Like, how many points for a heart and how many points would talking, gift-giving and rubbing be?

I only have a heart with Hamilton cuz I pulled him outta the darn chimney

One heart is 100 points. Talking, rubbing, and giving a loved gift is worth 20 points.
But most people's loved gifts are a pain in the neck to find. D: All of the Herbal Tea Lovers are always on my Purple Heart list. (But I'm on Day 10 of my English file, and I STILL don't have a pot! D: )

So how long does it really take for your kid to reach a new stage? It took fifteen days or so until my kid's next stage. He probably will be all grown up the day after the circus. Does it matter if your spouse is a special one or not?

Is there a certain strategy anyone uses to ship like 30,000G worth of crops quickly? I just started my first file over yesterday because I was stupid in Spring and grew nothing, and now Summer rolled in and there was no chance I would skim by and be able to grow/buy Corn.

Freakin' cornmeal.

Katie: Uhm. Best strategy I have is to buy a crapload of a crop and just plant your entire field.

Do you figure that Lettuce is best? D:
Cause I'm like hoarding it all in my field--as much as I can purchase at once. I figure since it's so cheap and makes such a good profit that it's better than buying strawberries that can regrow. I just need loooots and looots of Lettuce, I guess.
Sigh. :c

*doesn't like being a crop farmer*

Buuuuh-leave me Katie.

I don't like it either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Lettuce is better. It makes more money off of decent's, and the only thing that strawberries make more money off of is getting shining. Obviously you aren't gonna have a bunch of those. Besides, Lettuce takes less time to grow. ;o

I grew some strawberries my past spring.

But I focused mainly on wheat and flowers and cocoa and spicy peppers

What kinda weather will corn NOT get down-graded? I had some good sugar on a really windy day, and it was turned DECENT! D: But my rock salt was perfect :D

Is the guide worth getting? And how much did it cost you to get it?

From what I've heard, the guide sucks. They say Luke and Phoebe are a rival couple for one.

Well, if you search hard enough, you could probably find what you are looking for on the internet instead of the guide.

And you have to not mind typos if you want the guide. :D

17-20$, I think.

Oh. I think the guide is kick-butt, actually. D:
I mean, it gives me really easy access to Bachelor/ettes' profiles, events I need to achieve, and what to expect. Mine was probably $18, but I feel it was a good purchase, compared to other HM guides I've bought.

Also, the Lettuce is working very well. :D
Question: Are sheep really worth it? You can milk, shear and ride 'em, but they just seem so expensive.
