Throw an awesome birthday party for kids without a lick of planning
I'm all about at-home birthday parties for kids. Which is not to say that they don't stress me out, because they totally stress me out. But the idea is so appealing and old-fashioned, isn't it? You know, if someone else would do all the planning and purchasing of said...
New year, cool new storage bins! (Man, we love bins.)
As I continue to knock through my New Year's resolutions, I decided it was high time to replace the scraggly looking bins sitting on my kitchen counter. You know, the ones full of mail, and chargers, and poker chips from 2004 (Oh, just me?). In addition to the stylish...
Better than a sled. Better than a plastic saucer. It’s a Zipfy.
It only takes about 3/4" of snow to get my kids begging to go to the sledding hill in town. They used to bang a big plastic sled up and down the hills, arguing over whose turn it is to lug the awkward thing back to the top, but this winter they have something new,...

What’s the difference between a macaron and a macaroon? Where do we start!
Macarons are all the rage these days, and certainly not to be confused with those big coconut things that one eats at Passover and generally stay in your stomach until oh, June. The difference is, macarons are melt-in-your-mouth delicious French almond cookie...
Stylish storage solutions for an organized home
Let's talk storage solutions, shall we? Or rather, my lack thereof. Bills and random paperwork end up mishmashed into the Play-Doh tub (which, of course, contains no actual Play-Doh). There's not one item of winter clothing in the winter clothing box, but for some...
The best portable travel crib? journeyBee is an excellent new contender
Back when my now-tween was a babe, the one piece of equipment I dreaded using above almost anything else was her "portable" playpen. It weighed a ton, pinched my fingers every time I tried to assemble it, and just looked like a big ugly netted cage taking over...
