Celebrate good times. Like, uh, the first day of school.
With my kids rapidly becoming tired of our regular summer activities, I can't be more excited for the start of school. Or at least, that's the story I'm going with. So to celebrate your kiddo's first day back (you know, other than the sound of your screeching tires as...
Dan Zanes rides the XM waves to your radio
Family-friendly Grammy-nominated musician extraordinaire Dan Zanes apparently had a secret desire to be a disc jockey. Which is a coincidence, because I had a secret desire to hear awesome radio music that wasn't pure dreck (mainstream kid music) or me fake-sneezing...
Stitch by Stitch – Proving that everyone can indeed sew
I've often joked that I'm devoid of the crafty gene, but that's not completely true. I actually do enjoy crafting; it's just that I don't often have the time or the individual instruction I need to get me over those challenging humps. Well, thanks to Atlanta-based mom...

Need a travel crib? Just pump it up.
Words I never thought I'd hear come out of my husband's mouth as he strolled by our living room: Whoa, that's some cool-looking pack-and-play.While I've never thought of a portable crib as particularly cool, I do admit this is one that would stop me in my tracks too....
Art appreciation for the preverbal set
Every few months (okay, every year or so) I take my son into New York City and hit one of the many art museums. After all, who doesn't want their child to have an appreciation of art? Evidently I'm not alone. New Editions believes you shouldn't have to look any...
Good news! You don’t have to alphabetize your spices anymore!
If there was such a thing as Martha Anonymous, TV Host Lisa Quinn's introduction would go something like this, Hi, My name's Lisa and it's been 5 years since my last cranberry wreath." Sick of trying to live up to the standards of being the perfect wife, mother, and...
