Journey to Africa for Black History Month and beyond
Black History Month is rolling to a close, but it's never to late to share new learning resources with your kids. Along with some great books, movies and music picks that honor African American culture and history, I have recently come upon some more...
INKnBurn – running away from ugly running clothes
I suppose it's not surprising that one of my favorite parts of running races, aside from the medal, has to be the Expo, where I can shop for all the coolest new running gear. And that's exactly what happened when I recently ran Disneyland's Tinker Bell Half...
Nom nom nom…blankets.
My 10 month old is teething. That means he's chomping on virtually everything in our house. (Kind of gross when he chooses the wheels of the stroller.) I found a cool new blankie with attached teething toys, so I'm hopeful he'll start gnawing on more appropriate...
The Lorax movie review: Is it every bit as awesome as the book?
I am absolutely smitten with The Lorax, one of Dr. Seuss' most powerful characters. The book has such a strong environmental message that continues to resonate within me and so many of Dr. Seuss' fans, so I must admit that I had very high expectations for The Lorax...

Stork calling, special delivery
The only way the stork is getting back into my life might be on the wall and with a top hat. And that is not nearly as perverse as it might sound, when you look at these fabulous posters. This fantastically vintage-looking stork and baby poster from...
Marni for H&M – the ultimate cheap chic collaboration
At the very top of my bucket list of designers I hope to have hanging in my closet one day is Marni. I've always loved the Italian design house's eclectic mix of prints and modern offbeat silhouettes. Now, thanks to a collaboration with fast fashion chain H&M, I...
LunchBots goes bento
For those of you with kids (like my son) who would rather eat just a little bit of everything instead of a big Dagwood sandwich, CMP favorite LunchBots is going to make your day. (If not your kids' lunch.) The brand new LunchBots Quad is a new box, or bot, divided...
