Motherhood = coffeehood
I am still the world's worst Starbucks orderer. I can't remember whether I order the size before the "iced" and I still get the name of the coffee I love wrong. So of course I'm giggling at this adorable poster that breaks down the basic coffee types with charming...
Teaching the kids a little dice

Traveling to France with the accessories, but not the plane ticket. Le sigh.
I've had Paris on the brain lately. Leave it to Petunia Picklebottom to come out with new French-inspired prints on pretty new accessories and make me even more wistful. In fact, you don't even have to be a mom to carry these. The Strolling in St...

Wumbers is gr8 for beginner readers
I still remember how much hard work it was for my kids to learn to read, with all the painfully slow sounding-out of words one-by-one. It sometimes seems that kids are so busy trying to figure out what the letters say that they can't even concentrate on the story....

Natural relief from things that make kids go OUCH
My kids entered a phase around 4 when bug bite creams and sting-stoppers terrified them. I'm sure it had a little something to do with the one we "promised them" wouldn't hurt but turned out to be made with alcohol. (It wasn't totally our fault; we were traveling...
