People Safe, Planet Safe
My husband and I go back and forth about my penchant for sleek, modern design versus his love for the old-fashioned basics. But what we don't argue about is our desire for safe, environmentally conscious furniture for our children.I just may be able to tip him...
The Amazing Adventures of SuperChloe
I think every kid should have a costume chest (or costume closet if you have a big house like my sister-in-law). Boy or girl, there's no better rainy day activity than pretending to be a butterfly or an alien or a superhero firefighting princess.The handmade capes...
Aprons That Get an A
As much as I love those cute flouncy cotton kid's aprons, frankly, they're no match for a toddler and a spatula full of brownie batter. So I absolutely fell in love with the kids aprons from Beansoup the second I took mine out of the package. The first thing that...
We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby
Regardless of how you stand on the candidate herself, the fact that there's a woman leading more than one presidential poll is pretty awesome. We've come a long way from the 70s when they ran ads in the back of Ms. Magazine for tees proclaiming A Woman's' Place is in...
Royally Rocking
Right now, with writers striking and award shows canceling, we're in need of some good entertaining. Thank goodness for Princess Katie & Racer Steve stepping in to save the day by pre-releasing Fast & Feisty, a fast (and feisty) tribute to all that's great...
Our Kind of Princess
With a princess-obsessed three year-old, I'm always on the lookout for pretty much any book that has absolutely nothing to do with them. And yes, I know it's cruel to cut her off entirely from the little crowned ladies just because they drive me nuts. So if you've got...
Mommy = 1, Wiggly Baby = 0
I used to think baby clothes with snaps were the best solution for a wiry, wiggly baby. And then my brute of a son came along, and it was like wrestling a greased squealing pig into pajamas.So take my advice ye mothers-to-be, and invest in a few kimono tops, like the...
If Mama Can’t Go to the Sippy Cups, Bring the Sippy Cups to Mama
The one downside to The Sippy Cups' new concert DVD release, Electric Storyland Live at the Great American Music Hall is it just may bum your kids out - if only in that they'll wish they were there instead of at home. That's one heckuva show The Sippy Cups puts on....
A Face Cream A Mother Could Love
Lately my skin is starting to look...well, like it's winter. Like the air is cold, the heat is dry, and more than a wee bit of holiday cheer has taken its toll. A detox is in order, inside and out. If you know what I'm saying (and I know you know what I'm saying),...
Virtual Showers, Real Presents (Yeah!)
While we would hope that all of our bestest friends and relatives could fly/drive/hitchhike on over just to shower our babies-to-be with the requisite 84 receiving blankets, it doesn't always work that way. For a better alternative than some virtual internetty-thing,...
