Save the Ducks for the Zoo

I May Look Like a Geek, But a Geek Who Can Find His Keys
For the style-conscious SAHD, your options are pretty slim if you want to avoid lugging your wife’s floral diaper tote around town. I couldn’t ever get stuff in and out of my messenger diaper bag, and last summer’s big vacation proved the rule that whatever you’re trying to find in your backpack—diaper, bib, camera, guidebook—will invariably be at the very bottom.
Have Your Cake and Rock To It Too
"Cake,” a new music video from Charity and the JAMband previewed May 24 on the Indie Food Channel. What a great way to check out one of our favorite new discoveries in children’s music.
Summer Essentials for the Dad in Your Life
Since summer has quickly reared its hot and humid head here in the Northeast, I thought I’d start preparing for the season. Like most men, this entails digging out those flip flops from storage, loading up on some steaks, firing up the BBQ grill and enjoying some cool alcoholic beverages with friends.
Build Your Own Blocks
We come across quite a few personalized products at CMP. Apparently if you put someone’s kid’s name on something no matter how useless or inane (monogrammed bottle sterilizer, anyone?) it’s a surefire hit.
Do You Remember Rock ‘n’ Roll?
Remember when you were both younger and would go see bands play at the local club? If you’re like me, your kids came along and put an end to that. Is it really worth forking over seventy bucks for a sitter to see your nephew’s garage band fumble its way though Sweet Home Alabama?
There’s More to These Monsters Than Meets the Eye
The deliciously cute monster tees at Dishy Duds are better defined as wearable art–each is made by hand with incredible detailing, and no two are alike. It’s a good enough reason to run out and buy a dozen right now.
One Less Thing for Dads to Freak Out About
You know what about impending fatherhood freaks me out more than anything else? That my nice little sleek-and-minimal- with-a-side-of-organic-cotton aesthetic will be buried under the inevitable onslaught of pastel plaid ruffles and battery-powered, light-flashing, muzak-emitting "baby crack".
Keeping Daddy as Close to Home as Possible
As a military wife, I’ve been fortunate to have avoided deployments. And while some days I wouldn’t mind if my husband took a short trip across the ocean, I imagine it really stinks for the kids.
I Stand Here Ironing (And Looking Fabulous)
Ironing, cooking, cleaning, scrubbing: Hardly my description of a day well-spent. But we may have discovered one way to overcome your reluctance to plow through your chore list on a sunny Sunday. BlipShop, the online boutique of British mum and designer Emma Carey,...
Traveling with More Leg Room
Looking for a fun and cheap way to show your kids the sights of Europe without leaving your living room?
Say it With Your Necklace
I like to think that the jewelry I wear says a lot about who I am – stylish, funky, and a little bit crazy. However, there’s something to be said about jewelry that sends a message.Literally .
Babysitter on Board
It's hard for me to keep track of my multiple kids with their bursting-at-the-seams schedules, food allergies, bedtimes, assorted likes, dislikes and various pertinent telephone numbers--let aone for the sitter or the grandparents. From now on, I'm going to sync my...
No More Fighting Over Old Tees
I found the perfect solution fighting over the old way-too-small-yet- still-kind-of-cute-and-comfy Air Force Academy shirt that my husband refuses to get rid of. Instead of allowing it collect dust in the huge box labeled "Old tees that I'm forced to save because...
Take Me Out to the Diaper Genie
Oh the poor diaper wipe. It spends its brief time here on earth smashed against its brethren, crammed into some cheap plastic sheath, and finally covered in human waste and tossed away without so much as a goodbye.
You’ve Got Moxie, Kid!
If you had a best friend that was really friendly, smart and level-headed and knew a thing or two about parenting, she might be a lot like Moxie of Ask Moxie. Ask Moxie is an advice blog where parents can submit questions and receive answers on a plethora of parenting...
Trojan House
For moms who aren't quite ready to be a mom again just yet, an exceedingly chic solution: The Prophopot. These ceramic pots were made for the very singular purpose of nestling your condom collection in style, as the tell-tale lids cleverly indicate. You can find them...
The Only Thing Missing is the Baby Nurse
WhileI was more thantickled to getthe oodles of"welcome-baby" gifts, I have to say that I wouldn’t have minded a little something for myself. Sure, a medal of honor would have been nice, butI would have taken one of You’re Sucha Baby’s New Mom Kitsin a heartbeat.
Gemini: There is Twice the Drool in Your Future
Today the sun enters Gemini. Oh admit it, you love that stuff. Who among us doesn't feverishly turn to her local paper's horoscope page on her children's birthdays and look up "For those born on this date..." In any case, it's hard to resist the line of...
Go Ahead and Cuff Me
I’m one of those mothers who always forgets to put a picture of myamazingly adorabledaughter in my wallet. Maybe it’s because I feel like she’s always with me (not so far off, really), or because all our pictures are still stored on our digital camera.
