Get crafty, young grasshopper, with 3D puzzle sculptures
The cooler weather is setting in, so I'm already on the hunt for inside activities that will save my hide come winter. I admit I'm pretty picky about what crafty goodness makes the grade at our house, so when I heard about green 3D puzzles that the kiddos could build...
Homemade baby food with a grown-up twist we love
My kids are long past infancy, but I have profound memories of the truly yucky jarred baby food I tried to shovel into their mouths. I always thought I'd be someone who made homemade baby food, but having my kids one year apart--surprise!--just about did me in. I...
Hotel Transylvania Review: Velcome to Fun
The second my girls saw the very first ad for Hotel Transylvania, they were begging to see it. At 5 and 7, I wasn't quite sure if I should get their hopes up or not--after all, stories about monsters not of the Sesame Street variety generally don't suit their age...

The new Phil&Ted’s Dot stroller. Not just for city moms.
Confession: I still envy the fancy strollers of my city-dwelling mama counterparts. But raising four kids in the suburbs doesn't present much of a rationale for much more than the bare basics. At least, that's what I thought until I was introduced to the newest...
Baby hats that will make you squee. (We won’t tell, promise.)
It has always been a fight to persuade my children to keep their winter hats on their heads. Even when the sky is dumping snow, I find their hats behind the couch and stuffed in coat pockets--anywhere but on their poor freezing heads. Thankfully, I'm hopeful this...

Don’t miss NBC’s smart new season of Up All Night
Sitcoms have to be seriously good to get my attention at the end of the day. The kids are asleep and the house is quiet, so if I'm going to watch some telly instead of calling it a night, then it had better be worth my time...and crack me up. Make me laugh, or I'm...
