February 1, 2013

All around the country, Kindergarten students are getting the same assignment: In honor of the 100th day of school, create a project that brings to life the number 100. Many classrooms have a “100 Days Party”. “When did this start being a thing?” asked my friend Jen as she posted this picture of her daughter [...]

Set yourself up on a day-date during naptime

January 28, 2013

Daytime dates are appealing because we are not tired. (Ok, if you have a baby who doesn’t sleep, you might always be tired, but at least at noon, your odds of being alert are better than at say 9 pm.) I have been inspired by friends who had a sitter on Saturday afternoon so that [...]

I love coats and I want you to love them, too

January 17, 2013

Something bums me out about assembling a cute outfit and then putting a dreary jacket over it. Over the past few years I’ve become a huge collector of coats, fancy sweatshirts, and jackets, and I want to share my enthusiasm for this fashion investment. The right coat is a wonderful thing to turn to before [...]

Bottled Up: A must-read for all bottle-feeding moms

January 14, 2013

Like many new moms, Suzanne Barston struggled to breastfeed her firstborn son. Despite support from her husband, consultations with lactation consultants, and a strong will to make it work, it simply did not work. As much as I would like to report that she was able to shrug it off, start a blog called FearlessFormulaFeeder.com, [...]

When hand-washing isn’t enough, on battling germs

December 20, 2012

Staying healthy with three little boys in two different schools (read: germ pools) is a crap-shoot at best. We live in the world, touch stuff, and do things. We are bound to get sick this winter even if it effs with my plans. I am an obsessive hand-washer, but any one of my little guys [...]

giggle link round-up December-style

December 18, 2012

Hey guys, Is anyone else panicking about Christmas yet? I got started really early this year so I feel like I’m simultaneously ahead-of-the-game and late on everything. Tree? Super early. Gifts? I just freaked out and handled all my shopping today including a present for myself in case everyone else forgets me. (Ummm, who does [...]

Crying and laughing – let’s try to do both

December 17, 2012

I bet most of you spent a little time crying or fighting back tears over the past few days. If you are new to parenthood, this is part of the deal. Any tragedy to any child becomes your tragedy in a way that it wasn’t before. I have a Kindergartner. And a second grader. They [...]

Favorite ride-on toys for toddlers and wobblers

December 14, 2012

I gave Julian this Radio Flyer “bike” on the morning of his first birthday, because he had just started walking and it fulfilled my fantasy of the stylish, classic gifts I would be giving him throughout his childhood. Now he wants nothing but Pokemon cards and Webkinz, which was not in my dreamy vision of [...]
