All the Bugaboo talk this week is about the new Bugaboo Donkey double stroller --that oddly-named, but coolly-designed single-to-double convertible stroller that our Editor-in-Chief Liz got a sneak peek at a few days ago at the US launch at New York's Giggle. Yes,...
Buy me some peanuts and BabyLegs
It can be mighty windy up in the stands, but even if you're staying home to watch the game on the TV, every tot-sized baseball fan needs a pair of baseball-themed leg warmers, right? Just in time for the start of baseball season, I am loving these Homerun BabyLegs....
A grand adventure for a nursery wall
We painted one wall in my daughter's room pink and that pink has annoyed me for the past four years. It's not a good pink. It's a Pepto pink. I would repaint, but the ceiling is vaulted so... I know my limits. I have looked for artwork to offset the color and not...
Feelings, nothing more than feelings
I consider myself fairly tuned in to my kids' emotional health but I must confess, I don't really know what to say to an angry six-year-old in the heat of the moment other than Stop hitting that! Which is why I'm glad some other moms have come to the rescue and...

Breast Milk Popsicles – Surprisingly, not bad at all.
Now that spring is here, a kid's (and uh, a mom's) fancy turns to ice cream--arguably our favorite of all the food groups. We consider ourselves ice cream connoisseurs around here, but I have to say, I was surprised to try a brand new ice cream made from, of all...
The Giving Effect – Spring cleaning meets targeted giving
Every year at about this time, I start digging out my kids' closets, then the other closets, and before I know it, I'm on a veritable sort-and-chuck rampage. When the dust settles, I usually have an entire carload of garbage bags ready to go to charity. Usually I drop...
The Happiest Mom: 10 Secrets to Enjoying Motherhood. (Which are no longer secrets.)
I've been a long time reader of Meagan Francis' blog The Happiest Mom, not only because any mom of five who can string together coherent sentences has my utter respect, but because her straightforward, friendly, and non-judgmental approach to motherhood is refreshing....
