If you spend as much time at your desk as each of us do, then you probably understand the challenge of keeping it organized. In fact, you might have incorporated that into one of your New Year's resolutions. (Again?) We so get it. The st…
Whether or not your new year’s resolution has to do with eating better, January is here and pretty much everyone is thinking about healthy eating. After a month (or two!) of rich, decadent food, our bodies have the right to demand more w…
We admittedly get a little nostalgic looking back through our entire calendar year worth of posts each December to see which ones most resonated with our readers. All we can say is, looking at the top ten posts of the year? You all have …
Three-ingredient cocktail party recipes are one of those staples you need to always have on hand. I mean, if you've got festive New Year's Eve cocktails and mocktails ready to go, you can't forget the food right? You can either plan a fu…
When you think back to the best toys of the year (and other playful gifts for kids) you probably think about tech, tablets, and things that require cords and batteries. And yet there's so much more, from wonderful board games, to handmad…
You might say we've got a little thing for accessories. And you might say that's a huge understatement. Which is why we have the best time all year poking around the internet, cruising the trade shows, and poking our heads into local jew…
We're so excited to wrap up our year by featuring our very top picks in all sorts of categories, starting with our very favorite cool baby gifts and gears that were new or new to us in 2015. This is a tough category to be sure, so we wen…
Here's hoping you get everything you hope for this Christmas, whether it's in a box under the tree, tucked into a stocking and hung from the mantle, or something that can't ever be gift-wrapped at all. Warm holiday wishes from everyone a…
Every year there is a Christmas tradition at which I totally fail: making cookies for Santa. I never think about a treat for the big guy until my kids happily exclaim, "Let's make cookies for Santa!" on Christmas Eve night. Sigh. Instead…
It's just four days until Christmas and even the procrastinators are sweating. Yes, we are talking about our ourselves. Since we don't think we are alone in the holiday hustle, we've been scouring the web to find out the shipping deadlin…
We had the best time over the past month, partnering with Amazon Free Time to throw a couple of fun press and blogger holiday cocktail parties in Philly and Atlanta. Our aim was to give parents a little more me time (Get it? Free Time fo…
This is a sponsored message from Flare Play Kids love video games, but understandably, parents can justify the gaming time better when kids are actually playing something educational. That's where Flare Play comes in to make everyone hap…
We love great food subscription gift boxes because hello, monthly treats! But we especially love them right now when the holiday shipping deadline clock is ticking down. The great thing about these services is that, even though they cove…
We love giving (and getting) homemade food gifts during the holidays. You don't have to spend a lot of money and it feels really thoughtful, especially if you spend some time on the presentation. If you're baking a loaf of bread using gr…
There's always so much chatter about kids being picky, but lots of kids love cooking. And even many, um, selective eaters enjoy a good kitchen project too, you know, if it's making cupcakes and not kale. Understandable. Whether you have …
I love that, in spite of living in a world where you can get pretty much any food you want at any time you want it, there are still foods and drinks that only come out during a particular season or holiday. Eggnog is one of the best—and …
The holiday season is in full swing and our friends have been throwing some seriously good parties that have made us feel welcome and festive. And full! We've already eaten way too much because the food is so, so good—and there is more t…
This year, we notice just how much we've been writing up cool gift ideas and toys for kids and mentioning, but we'd like one too . It's like the fantastic innovations in toys plus our need as adults not to feel quite so adult is collidin…
Homemade pie crust: Three simple words that strike fear into the hearts of many home cooks, including myself until 2 weeks ago. I must confess that I have always been a firm believer in store-bought pie crusts. They are easy and taste, w…
We admit that we had a great time putting together some of our favorite gifts for drinkers for our holiday gift guide. That said, we're all for abstaining and, hey, having been pregnant—many times between us—we hardly think of booze as t…
We've got a few passionate skateboarders in our lives so we've been super excited to have the opportunity to spend some time searching around for cool skateboarding gifts then sharing our faves. We are stoked (see how we did that?) to we…
Here's the thing about food gifts: Everybody loves them. You don't have to be a foodie to be psyched about a delicious treat in which you might not otherwise indulge. And—all jokes about Brooklandia aside—with so many wonderful artisanal…
You just got invited to a cookie swap and you really want to go, because cookies. But you are also crazy busy (and maybe a little stressed out?) with work, kids’ parties, holiday gatherings, gift shopping and, oh, you know, all the other…
It’s December. The holidays are upon us and so is chillier weather. Whether you’re coming in from a day on the slopes, shoveling your front walk, or braving the cold for holiday shopping, you need something warm and delicious for sipping…
