I go by that old shopping adage that if you’re unsure about something, walk away; if you’re still thinking about it the next week, it was meant to be. (I also sometimes go by the adage, what the hell, it’s only money, but that’s between me and...

I remember browsing the web for infant sleep sacks when I was pregnant and thinking, great concept, lame-o execution. It’s not that they didn’t work, it’s just that they were…how do I say this delicately…ugly? Or plain at best. Finally...

When it comes to fashions for the junior man in my family, we dig that fashion staple, the polo shirt, just fine. But I still have a yen to add a little more pizazz to his wardrobe now and then, which is why I love the retro-inspired bowling shirt from the way too hip...
