Threadless and Baggu are a tote bag perfect match
Does this rainbow umbrella design look familiar? It probably does--it's just one of the designs you'll find over at Threadless, which recently teamed up with Cool Mom Picks favorite Baggu to produce a whole series of recycled cotton canvas totes (Baggu's "duck bag")...
Consider It Done. No, really.
On any given day, I might have to drop off a neighbor's kid at his piano teacher's house although he doesn't know her last name or the name of the street on which she lives, clip a finch's toenails, and negotiate with an international credit agency for an...
Bah lovebug.
Let's face it, at some point in time, everybody ends up staring at the last flower petal, thinking, He loves me not? FINE. I've been there. In fact, I spent an entire Valentine's Day in college wearing all black as my anti-Valentine statement after a harsh break-up....
Sweet Valentines for the classroom that even a dentist will love
My kids are no strangers to candy, though I have to admit that the amount of sweet stuff they collect at Valentine's Day is over the top. I may not be able to stem the tide of lollies, pixie stix and chocolate hearts that come their way, but I've found a...
Zarbees – Natural cough syrup for children that alleviates natural worrying of parents
This may not be a popular stance, but I curse the day that a bunch of dodos couldn't figure out how to properly medicate their children, leading to a ban of all those fabulous multi-symptom cold medicines and over-the-counter cough syrups for kids. I keep swearing I'm...
My valentine is one sexy bastard
My husband is definitely one to give the spicier Valentine's Day gifts, and you won't see me complaining. Unless he happens to buy the wrong size negligee, in which case I just try to act flattered that he thought I was an extra-small. This year, I'm thinking about to...
Organizational tips from Sarah Welch of Pretty Neat and Get Buttoned Up
I consider myself to be a pretty organized person, save for the junk drawer and my backpack graveyard of a hall closet (shhhhh). But since adding another kiddo into our mix, I can use all the organizational help I can get. That's why I was anxious to get a copy of...
Heartfelt Valentines musings, totally erasable
I love the idea of leaving sweet little notes for my son and husband on a daily basis. You know, like: You're perfect; I love you; and Put your dirty socks in the hamper. Which is why this Chalkboard Heart from Wall Candy Arts is the perfect accessory for my daily...
Go ahead. Make my cookies.
We were delighted with the Martha Stewart makes Cookies app when it was introduced this past fall for the iPad, and now there's one more reason to like all this four-color, interactive deliciousness--more yummy cookie recipes and a new lower price. At least for a...
Collaborative board games means everyone wins
When I first became a mother of two, my own mom introduced me to the concept of collaborative board games. Think less "I did it!" and more "We did it!" In other words, less "I hate you, I'm never playing with you any more ever again!" and more...well, yeah. You get...
