Fantastic Baby Oil and Dog Aphrodisiac
Ever since developing the bionic nose of pregnancy (you all know what I’m taking about, mamas) I can’t settle for any bath or baby product that smells less than amazing. Fortunately, there are plenty of options no matter what your own supernose demands.
Shower Invites That Demand RSVPs
If I had to do my baby shower all over, I wouldn’t change a thing. Okay, one thing: Instead of not so subtly pointing my best friend towards the invites that, um, you know, I wouldn’t mind her using if, you know, she happened to like them too…I’d point her to Armato Design & Press.

The toys are accumulating–if not actually reproducing–just as everyone told us they would. And now the toys outnumber the square footage allotted to keep said toys out of eyesight and keep me from going insane.
Organic Bedding, Hold the Hemp Jokes

Clippy Not Slippy
My first child is on her way and while I still have a lot to learn, one thing I've already got down pat is how not to experience a repeat of The Slippy Blanket Stroller Incident that occurred while I was walking with my infant niece. Let’s just say that when a...
Caterpillars in the Shower
My daughter has been introduced to the scientific concept of metamorphosis by, of all things, an episode of The Wonder Pets. She now understands, in her 2 year-old way, that a caterpillar turns into a "buh-fwy." Also that butterflies sing and dance.
