Don’t know much about teratology, but Belli does
I’m conspicuously absent from photos taken after the birth of each of my babies. I know a lot of you mamas knows what I’m talking about. But it wasn’t even my complexion and weight that were making me camera-shy; it was my lady parts–my tender...
Designer dresses designed by daughters
Sadly, shopping with my daughter is already filled with bargaining (if not actual bargains), and she isn’t even a surly tween yet. So I’ve got Style for Grace to thank for a remarkably relaxed and enjoyable mother-daughter shopping experience–that...
The Neatnik Saucer – A better option than high chair covers the size of a schoolbus
I used to love going out to eat, knowing that I had no role whatsoever in the preparation or clean-up. These days, with three kids and a diaper bag in tow, in the time it takes for a single sip of wine and a quick glimpse of the menu, six crayons and two spoons and a...

Tiesies – ‘Cause every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man
I’m all for outfitting my baby boy in some fine threads on special occasions. But dressing a wee one in the same style sported by a forty-something man (sweater vests, anyone?) isn’t special–at least not the way you’d intended.Try a...
