Parent/child tattoos

January 24, 2012

I saw this on Pinterest and felt moved to share it. Someone else blogged it with the title “Good parents are good.” I loved that, too. Do you have a tattoo with meaning? Do you plan to or already have your child/ren’s names on your body? via iwastesomuchtime

Flashback Friday: Heather’s favorite 2011 posts by Whitney

January 13, 2012

Whitney and I have been friends for more than 15 years. Like her, I’ve been surprised that working together has been so easy. But I’m not surprised it has been so fun. The girl can walk on her hands and do cartwheels in either direction after all. Since she said all those nice things about [...]

Lunar New Year giveaway from Barefoot Books

January 11, 2012

Last year, you guys seemed to really like the opportunity to win books from Barefoot Books, so I asked them to give us another chance to giveaway books. In the post-holiday reflections on STUFF, it feels really nice to give away BOOKS. Though you do have to put them away and decide carefully how to [...]

Flashback Friday: Whitney’s five fave posts of Heather’s in 2011

January 6, 2012

Heather has very strong opinions about certain things, and that, next to her hair, is one of her best qualities. Tell her about a concert for preschoolers scheduled during naptime and she will tell you how misguided that is. A meeting during lunch hour that doesn’t include food? She will rant for the rest of [...]

My snapfish photo book (sponsored)

December 20, 2011

Snapfish recently challenged me to to solicit reader suggestions and make a cool photo book. So, not only did the ideas have to be interesting, but they had to also be easy enough for me to execute. Based on your great ideas, I picked the easiest one: One Fun Day. Alissa commented: Did you do [...]

Clever idea: Use Santa diapers for holiday card

December 9, 2011

I was at a board meeting for Help A Mother Out when I met a lovely rookie mom named Catherine. The topic of Huggies’ holiday Santa diapers came up as we sat around the conference table (HAMO is a diaper donation advocacy organization, after all) and Catherine excitedly reached for her purse to reveal her [...]

Awesome Mom: Secret Agent Josephine (win!)

December 8, 2011

One of the best parts about getting older is that the accomplishments of my peers continue to be more amazing. It is with no small thrill that I share the news that my blogging peer, the talented illustrator known Secret Agent Josephine is launching, not just one children’s book, but three! And not just on [...]

I am a holiday card ho this year. (Ho ho ho!)

November 30, 2011

I cannot tell a lie. Over the course of this year, at various blogger events, I collected three different $50 gift cards to customized paper goods companies, and I was determined to use them all. My annual mailing list is about 75 households long. Hence, I uploaded the same photo to Minted, Paper Culture, and [...]

Giggle round-up: November edition

November 23, 2011

On the giggle website, where I noticed today that shipping on holiday gifts is free, as is gift wrapping (score!), I noticed that they put out a very appealing holiday catalog that you can browse online. I didn’t receive it in the mail, which I might say is a mistake on their part, because if [...]

November 11, 2011

We are delighted to share our space with Christine Koh today. She is our second guest blogger on the topic of having a second child. When I saw Heather and Whitney post their reader query about whether or not to have a second child, my immediate thought was, If only it was as simple as [...]
