The premiere of Sex and the City 2 hits tonight, and the women I've talked to seem to be divided into two groups: Those who care, and those who won't admit they care -- just a little bit. I admit it! I care! I want to gawk at Aiden, and …
When it comes to eating out with my kids, we make sure to go to our favorite family friendly restaurant early in the evening with an arsenal of activities to keep them occupied . Seriously, I think planning a wedding is easier. But thank…
The thought of sending a note card via the internet would generally make my inner Emily Post faint, but after seeing the gorgeous new paperless thank you cards, from CMP fave Paperless Post, I think I can hear her applauding. Just as lov…
We rarely leave the house without our Rain or Shine Kids waterproof stroller blanket - whether it's a cool fall picnic, winter jog, or spring walk in the park. And now, with their organic sun protection blanket, I think they've pretty mu…
So it's become pretty clear that iPhone apps can be God's technological gift to parents wanting to avoid toddler meltdowns in restaurants and pediatrician offices. Some of my favorite apps for the younger set come courtesy of Duck Duck M…
We're always on the lookout for cool party favors that do not include small plastic toys that last all of four minutes, or sugar-infested treats that seem to last four hours. So if you've got a party coming up, stuff those goody bags wit…
So I admit that this whole adult romper trend scares me just a little, mostly because my body is not cut out for any sort of one-piece clothing item not meant for a beach. But my daughters, on the other hand, look absolutely fabulous in …
I always thought of tea towels to be completely prim and proper, but that's absolutely not the case with the gorgeous block printed tea towels at Fisk and Fern. The bright inviting designs are printed on absorbent 100% cotton which evide…
Ecard sites are no longer what they used to be, even a few years ago. I can't even imagine why anyone besides your grandma would still send those digital cards made of stock photography rosebuds and garish wedding type. Well now here's a…
We've been following the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) and its negative effect on the handmade products and small businesses we love , ever since the very beginning. And so, we wanted to pass along some updates, so tha…
I spent my entire morning browsing the modern Swedish design shop for kids, barnvanligt , and not even the beautiful spring day was been able to tear me away. While the organic cotton robot pillows (below) sucked me in, I think what I ne…
Certainly you have a whole list somewhere of all the funny things your kid has said. My youngest daughter named her stuffed horse Puke Bok, and the oldest has been known to say things like I'm not licking the gingerbread house..I'm just …
I'm not sure how I didn't know about the Jim Henson store , but I didn't. And I love Jim Henson, because really, who doesn't? The guy was in an Apple Think Different ad, for pete's sake, along with Picasso and Lucille Ball. While parents…
When I found out Bugaboo had come out with an iPhone holder accessory my first thought was to roll my eyes. What, we can't stand the idea of being out of reach of our precious phones for the time it takes to fish it out of our jacket poc…
I'm all for putting my 5-year-old daughter in so-called "boy" dinosaur shirts, though her obsession with pink and all things girlie stomps my efforts. But now I shall strike back and win with the DinoGirl shirt from Jusami . This adorabl…
I admit that baby mobiles never did much more for my kids than keep them entertained with their robotic songs and spinning cutesy stuffed animals. But moms-to-be hoping to get a modern bit of nursery decor out of the deal should be beggi…
We all just want to take a moment to wish all the cool moms, grandmoms, stepmoms and moms-to-be a very very happy Mother's Day. We hope it brings all the relaxation, adoration, and appreciation you deserve every day of the year. - Liz, K…
We are all staunch devotees of the members-only luxury sale site, Ideeli , which has perhaps the most consistent array of high-end designer clothing and accessories at fabulous prices, along with giveaways that even we find ourselves ent…
Back when I used to pack my own lunches for work, I can't tell you the number of times I lost or tossed (oops!) perfectly good silverware. And now that I'm in charge of my daughter's noontime meals, I'm afraid the apple doesn't fall far …
While the gorgeous spring weather is here and I want my kids out out out of the house, I still need to keep our craft supply drawers stocked for those stormy days . My kids have been going nuts lately for the Martha Stewart craft punches…
We've been unabashed fans of the talented and adorable A Cappella group, Straight No Chaser , ever since their unbelievable rendition of 12 Days of Christmas made the YouTube rounds a few years back. (You know, the one with Toto's Africa…
My husband has Mother's Day pretty easy these days since my kids are now old enough to make me a card all by themselves. But giving a card from a little baby-- aside from the little foot print signature that most parents are not brave en…
Long ago when my parents would drag us on a 10 hour family road trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina, my brother and I would occupy ourselves with all sorts of fun travel-friendly activities, none of which included a DVD player. Imagine t…
Finding a baby hat I loved was like...well, something that was really hard. For some reason they were always too floppy, too stiff, or too cutesie (seriously, enough with the huge bows at the chin). But Rikshaw Design just nails it with …
