Rucakids starlocket on Cool Mom PicksTwenty years after my own Bat Mitzvah, the world now caters to the preteen universe in ways it never did.

This summer an eco deck chair is the place to be

With patio season finally here, my thoughts turn to warm summer days lounging in the backyard, sipping margaritas while the kids play cooperatively in the sandbox.

And I think I know the perfect deck chair in which to lounge quite stylishly.
