Little Pharo – So it shall be written, so it shall be done with Egyptian cotton
How absolutely clever to create a line of luxury baby clothes that, instead of an alligator or polo player across the breast, feature an ankh, the Egyptian hieroglyphic meaning life and symbolizing health, happiness, and magical protection. Kind of something you want...
See Kai Run – Smaller Can Be Better
Seeing as how much I (and my kids) love See Kai Run, it was only natural that we'd jump on the chance to check out Smaller, their totally new line for the 18-month and younger set. And surprise! I love them too. It's not hard to be smitten with super cute designs...
Being Dad – Way better than trying to convince him to sit through Lamaze class
There's no shortage of books and videos and instructional websites out there for moms-to-be. But when something is available specifically for dads, it's generally absurdly goofy or some very serious cue-the-after-school-special-music sort of Hey, Dad, you're a part of...
Make lunch unforgettable
Yeah, I love fancy lunchboxes, too, but my daughter's getting to that age where she's leaving splashy behind for a more subtle sense of style. She's also leaving behind her homework, her jacket, and occasionally her lunch, depending on the day.Would it be mean to get...

You can put a price on style. 52,50 Euros for a tee, to be exact.
Not all parents are fortunate enough to have style-obsessed children like I do. Already they shun those mainstream clothing outlets in favor of browsing boutiques with me, while pooh-poohing classmates we encounter in lesser, less expensive preschool duds. You know...
Ni hao, Kai-lan. Ni hao, nice long shower for mommy.
Kai-lan just told my daughter to stand up and do the dragon dance and she happily obeys, particularly since the cute tiger ("My favorite one!") is doing it too. Oh to be three again.If your own preschooler hasn't discovered the happy, accessible bicultural world of...
Don’t Let Hannah Montana’s Singing Hurt Your Kids. More.
I used to worry that my daughter was damaging her fragile ear drums with a volume set to "too loud." Thankfully, we now have LoudEnough Volume-Limiting Earphones so when I yell DO YOU HEAR ME? I know that if I don't get an answer it's only because she's ignoring me....
We get to give away a $5000 tech makeover. Whoo!
Are you reading this post right now on the other side of a Comodore 64? Reluctant to give up that original Walkman? Wondering why you just can't find any good Betamax tapes these days? Well have we got news for you.One of the cooler promotions we're excited to be a...
