New Mountain Buggy MB Mini stroller review: possibly the only stroller you’ll ever need
When I'm out and about with my three kids, the last thing I want to worry about is whether or not my stroller will be able to handle whatever it is we're doing that day. Will it fit through the doorway at the bank? Will it get stuck in rocks, mud, sand, or snow? Will...
Home is where the mug is. (Or mug is where the home is?)
Always on the lookout for cool personalized gifts, I'm really taken with this one which would be so perfect as a hostess gift after an extended stay. The personalized coffee mugs are rendered with an architectural drawing of your own home--or the cabin on the lake...
Ever notice how gorgeous kids’ clothes look even more gorgeous when they’re on sale?
Recently we wrote about the splurgey loveliness that is Caramel Baby + Child, a UK label specializing in the stuff a lot of us dream of dressing our children in, but not necessarily at retail prices. Well now, they're less. The Caramel Baby & Child sale is...
A Muppets birthday party with vintage cool
Back when my daughter was a toddler, the only show she'd watch was the Muppets Show. Let's just say Kermit and Miss Piggy got me many a quiet shower, and to them, I'm mighty grateful. These days, there's no shortage of awesome Muppets paraphenalia, like Muppets...

How do you store towels and sheets? Martha Stewart knows!
A couple of weeks ago, I moved from Atlanta to Philadelphia and discovered that my new lovely rental home did not have a linen closet. I was about to just stuff my family's towels and sheets in my own closet when I had the opportunity to ask Martha Stewart (yes, her!)...
Our children’s favorite books for ages 2-12: Lots of ideas for summer reading and beyond
With later sunsets and later bedtimes in the summer, one of the things we've been trying to do is spend more time reading with our kids at night before bed--or encouraging them to do it on their own. We imagine we're not the only ones, since we've gotten so...
True & Co: Bra shopping just got more amazing than ever. Because you don’t have to go.
The idea of a service that let's you order bras online with "virtual" fitters--well, call me a skeptic. A big skeptic. Until I found this brilliant (seriously) service that...wow. This is not like any online bra shop I've ever seen. True & Co is like having a...
Document your baby’s firsts, Petunia Pickle Bottom-style
The first time I saw a diaper bag from Petunia Pickle Bottom more than eight years ago, it was love at first sight. Compared to the dowdy black diaper bag I had, it was a revelation to see the bright floral patterns and the attention to construction detail. We have...
Ready made craft kits from Darby Smart let you make those Pinterest projects–that actually might come out like the photos.
I love handmade items, but it is usually a good idea if someone else's hands make them for me, since crafting is not where my talents lay. But, now that I've seen a new service that makes it so easy to create cool things at home, I may have to give DIY another chance....
