Tastebudding helps make mealtime my favorite time
Some like Epicurious, some prefer FoodNetwork.com. But me, I tend to head straight to Chef Google when I need help finding a specific recipe, even though it takes a decent amount of time to nail down something that's quick, simple, and kid-friendly. But then I...
Happy birthday, bras!
The good old over the shoulder boulder holder is turning a whopping 100 today, and to thank her (is it a she? he? it?) for her amazing support (ahem) throughout the years, we thought it would be fun to round up a few of our favorite nursing bras for you expectant and...
Let It Be a stegosaurus
Now that I have a boy, I finally get it. The boy stuff at kids' clothing stores is generally eclipsed by the bows, the polka dots, the kimonos, the bum ruffles. And then the boy gets a plain old striped shirt or a lame-o teddy bear when he's born. So not fair.But I've...

Happy Father’s Day, dawg
Not every guy is a jewelry guy but I am in admiration of those funky types who are. Meaning, those men who can pull off the hipster dog tag or chunky ID bracelet thing; not those with the Wookie chest hair and the gold Mr. T chains.For those dads in the former...
Saying no to gladiator shoes
I have been coveting this one pair of Michael Kors slides since I slipped my feet into them at local trendanista boutique, Scoop. On three different occasions. The buttery leather and comfy flat sole coupled with the perfect shade of neutral made it tops on my casual...
Timi & Leslie – taking the diaper out of diaper bags
The season has definitely changed around here, which means I'm putting away the sweaters and long pants, and switching handbags. Of course this leads to much hand wringing considering I'm completely attached to my super great, but very wintry, brown leather bag.But I...
