Red21Boys.com – The motherlode of cool boys clothes
A neighbor and I were just discussing the challenge of purchasing boy's clothes these days and we both agreed that you really do get what you pay for. And since I'm not too keen on purchasing two sets of clothes every season--sometimes more--I'm on a constant mission...
I’m dreaming of a big city holiday
I'm dreaming of a picture perfect holiday season, like a vintage postcard, with over-sized snowflakes and smiling kids singing songs at my door. I'm also dreaming of taking the perfect holiday photo of my two girls and they'll both smile at the same time and sit still...
Rag dolls from simpler, battery-free times
I'm kind of in love with anything vintage, especially when it comes to toys. We always joke that generations of children somehow made it through life without dolls that walked, talked, or did the cha-cha, and ours can too, darn it. And get off my lawn, you kids. If...

Jewelry that really makes a statement
Remember when slogan t-shirts were all the rage? (Yes, I still have my "Frankie Say Relax!" shirt from college.) Well here's a new way for me to express myself through accessories, maybe even a little bit more cleverly than I could do on my own. Melanie Favreau's...
