Downton Abbey’s Dowager Countess puts the cross in cross-stitch
I want to live at Downton Abbey. I want a Mrs. Patmore to cook dinner and a fleet of Annas to clean up and a closet of gorgeous, beaded dresses. Unless my husband ends up being a long-lost heir, I doubt all that's in the cards. But at least I can have this...
Baby baths get plush. (Yes, plush.)
Bath time in our house is no easy feat. There's a lot of wriggling and crying--from both baby and parents. I think partly it has to do with the fact that our plastic bathtub is not the comfiest of landing spots for little tushies. To remedy that, I've found really...

We’re on Martha Stewart! Yipeeeee!
Our editor Liz Gumbinner practically skipped out of the 26th Street studios after her taping of the Martha Stewart Show this week. (Okay, she did skip, according to some reports. Just a little.) Please catch Liz on Martha's big baby shower episode, airing this...
The perfect cupcake for any party
The standards for kids' birthday cakes have gone up a bit since I was little, when we just stopped by the Piggly Wiggly and had the teen behind the counter misspell my name between the lumpy sugar roses. Now we want them to be beautiful, unique, delicious, customized,...
