The no glass, no plastic, drive your carrots to school plate
Forget the plastic--we've found a shiny little metal school bus that's ready to rock the five food groups-- and keep them separated, too. The Din Din Smart Stainless Steel Bus Platter is non-toxic, lead-free, and it's heavy-duty, too; we haven't had a single dent or a...
Speed dating for babysitters. Now online.
A good babysitter is hard to find. I've been way picky about who gets the, er, privilege of watching our active preschooler and toddler. This has kind of backfired--the only guaranteed babysitters we now have are grandparents. And, since the kids...
A new take on the classic monogram charm
We have loved the beautiful keepsake jewelry of JULIAN & Co. since way back when they went by the name Little Jules. Since then, we have been consistently impressed with Tania Condon's vision and unique designs that interpret "mother's jewelry" in the best...

The twin bone’s connected to the cute bone

A bouncy chair that does nothing except bounce. Shocking!
As much as my 5 month old would love for me to hold him 24/7, it's just not humanly possible. For the times I need to put him down, I think there's nothing better than a well-designed bouncy chair to keep baby upright while giving him a good view of the action. And...
Two new mascaras to get excited about. (Yes, we get excited about mascara.)
If there's one thing I can't leave the house without, it's mascara. When you're a busy mom, it's a quick way to feel "done" without having to spend an hour in front of a mirror in the morning. And I recently discovered two new mascaras, in two different price ranges....
Furniture even a kid can build
I love family projects that are truly intended for the whole family. You know, instead the kind where on parent works (and gets frustrated), the other parent helps (and offers constructive advice), and the kids sit waiting impatiently. Sprout, a US based modern...
The FDA bans BPA (sort of)
As a glass-is-half-full kind of person, I am thrilled to read that the FDA has (finally) agreed to ban the use of BPA in all baby bottles and spill-proof cups. OK, sure, Europe, Canada and China, along with a handful of U.S. states, have already made this move. And I...
The coolest guitar ever is playing a solo in your lemonade
Whether you're into classic Zeppelin or that annoyingly peppy pop song about a party under the Hollywood sign, you can't play it without a guitar. And you definitely shouldn't party without these extra tiny, extra awesome guitars, just in time for entertaining season....
