I am so proud of our buddy Marie who has just published her first book.

As you can see in the table of contents above, the projects are [...]

You’ll totally wear that again: saloon staff costume for mom and baby

October 28, 2011

Since we’re getting so close to Halloween, I’m guessing that any last-minute costume seekers are done with ordering online and more likely to be contemplating a late-night Target run. I think you might be able to find what you need for this funny toddler costume there. I just love this clever concept from Molly of [...]

October 27, 2011

The contest is now closed, y’all! But the rest of the post is still good. This month, we’re excited to share the chance to win a $50 gift card on giggle.com to one lucky reader! But first, I want to share a few favorite mobiles. Since I’m on my third baby, acquiring a mobile wasn’t [...]

Under the influence: October edition

October 26, 2011

I’m really really hoping that enough of you were influenced by our post yesterday about the DIAPER act that you will sign the petition. In general, it’s not my goal to boss our readers around, but rather to inspire them to get out of the house and do fun stuff — with babies in tow. [...]

My kids are cool with leftovers

October 20, 2011

In the Ragu-sponsored video we are sharing this week, I chat with my blogging buddies Kim Tracy Prince and Renee Ross about leftovers. Since I make two separate dinners for my family (adults vs kids), I don’t personally struggle with convincing my kids to eat leftovers. The kids are not eating what Ryan and I [...]

You’ll totally wear that again: cool (little) dude jackets

October 20, 2011

Caitlin from Pacifier in my Pocket sent us these pictures of her boy in his very versatile Halloween-or-any-other-fall-day outfits. In fact, she said he wore these jackets throughout the year, which makes buying such a jacket a brilliant choice. Biker jacket sources: If you would like your little one to be a greaser or a [...]

TaskRabbit round-up

October 16, 2011

Have you ever been stuck in a house (with a napping baby, perhaps) and wished you could run a quick errand? Or been super sick and willing to pay any amount of money for someone to make you dinner? If yes, then TaskRabbit is for you. It’s a way to outsource things you don’t have [...]

You’ll totally wear that again: Laura Ingalls costume

October 12, 2011

I was a big Little House fan as a girl, and since I know that my online friend Molly lives on a farm and homeschools her daughters, I fantasize that her house is located in the year 1880. Clearly she’s not actually living in the past, because when I asked Molly to suggest a Halloween [...]

Friday 14: That’s what WE said

October 7, 2011

Here are fourteen recent posts we wrote on other corners of the web. They range from smoking pot, dog safety, chewing seaweed, and what to spray on your girl parts after you birth a baby: Mama’s little helper: Dermaplast Is pot smoking ok for moms? Is it ok for pregnant ladies to drink wine? (Sure.) [...]

You’ll totally wear that again: Cowgirl costume

October 6, 2011

My super special guest today is Dottie from Modern Kiddo! I asked for Halloween costume ideas that were based around items that can be used again and again. Dottie told me she was inspired by some charming Livie and Luca western boots and I can see why. Sources for these adorable finds, all of which [...]

You’ll totally wear that again: prom dress becomes princess dress

October 4, 2011

My bloggy friend Carrie, the creative supermom behind This Mama Makes Stuff, posted this eco-amazing hack on her blog a few weeks ago: convert thrift store 80s prom dresses into princess dresses for your little fantasy lover. I always hit my children’s resale shops at the beginning of October and again after Halloween to keep [...]
