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,...
What’s Better Than the Mercedes of Baby Carriers? The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 of Baby Carriers?
I fully admit that after writing up the PortaMEe hip carrier here last year, I wanted one. I sooooo wanted one. Not because it was expensive (seriously) but because it was awesome. Say what you will about whatever front carrier you've got being just fine...
Take-Me-To-Your-Nursery
While I love having two daughters to shop for in the wardrobe department, I absolutely love picking out nursery art for little guys. I suppose my tastes run a bit darker than the average girl's - more demented space aliens, fewer happy ballerinas. Needless to say, I...
