In 2006, when we started this site, we were just...having fun. Our aim to support entrepreneurs and the cool things that women were making and sharing online was serious, but the way we originally built our site was kind of hilarious. It…
You know Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, and the rest, but now there's a reindeer lovelier than all of them. (I know I haven't technically seen any of them, but surely it's tough to look good after a day spent traveling around the world.…
If you're like me and tend to lean towards more subtle holiday decorating (hold the beglittered talking Santa, please), you'll love these gorgeous ornaments I found while scouring Etsy. I just can't pick a favorite among the laser cut wo…
The Of a Kind website is fast becoming one of my go-to sites for finding great indie design. And as a Brooklyn mama myself, I always save a special little corner of my heart for other Brooklyn artisans. Even if this one comes by way of W…
Look! It’s not a bird or a plane, but two super new books for our young superheroes-in-training. Because not even the most energetic superheroes can spend all their time leaping tall (LEGO) buildings or running faster than a speeding (Ne…
I look forward to Movember every year because my Viking husband looks deliciously scruffy while supporting men's health awareness with a beard. But if you've got a mustache-loving kid in your life who can't even sprout a few chin hairs, …

I am a real, live, blooming flower kind of girl. I don't mind the short-lived nature of them, just to have something fragrant and alive around the house if only temporarily. But when the weather gets cold and the imported tulips in our l…
Motherhood has definitely taken a toll on my skin--especially the chronic lack of sleep. Remember that gorgeous glow of youth? Sigh. Me too. Which is why I am such a huge fan of skincare oils. Ready to glow? Skincare oils hydrate and pro…

I had a friend who always said "it's not a dinner party unless there are leftovers" and Thanksgiving is probably the most perfect example of this. So I think this is the most genius idea to get your leftovers home. Unless you want six po…
Don't miss an exclusive discount for our readers ! I once feebly resisted my children's love for tutus, until I realized that they could be way more than the beginnings of a fairy princess outfit. Tutus are now on trend as outerwear, as …
