I've admitted here before that I'm a terrible gift wrapper, but as long as there are children aging in the world, there will be presents to wrap. Which is why I'm so happy to have found the Eco Deco line of green gift wrapping from Olive…
Noah is playing with the toy truck. Sam wants the toy truck. Sam grabs it out of Noah's hands and bops him with the front left tire when Noah tries to take it back. Sam's mom wishes she could spontaneously disappear. The next day, Noah's…

I am a list junkie, only the problem is that I tend to jot stuff down one place and lose it or write everything on one endless list so it looks like I need to buy bananas, milk and my pap smear results. Not good. That's why I love the Sh…

Sometimes when you walk into a friend's house it looks like a furniture catalogue came to life. Not that there's anything wrong with the couch to match the pillows to match the curtains, it's just that I like design that says something a…
When my son was born there weren't really tons of organic or eco-friendly baby products like there are today. Honestly I thought I was being environmentally responsible by making sure there was no lead paint on his crib. Who knew a scant…
I love flipping through lifestyle magazines. The combination of the beautifully styled photographs, creative recipes and fresh ideas really inspire me. I guess that's why I love Small Magazine and their new online blog, Smaller . The fre…
Confession time. When I was a kid I was totally into gnomes, fairies and pixies. And, while my love for airborne nymphs has diminished, I still have a soft spot for the old, bearded, chubby forest dwellers. I think that's why I got all n…
I used to play this game with my son when he was a baby, it was called I put on the sock, you wiggle out of it and lose it . Oh the fun we had. If only Bical Grippers existed back then. Half sock, half shoe, all cool. The lightweight neo…

There are lots of cute birthday invites out there--heck, we feature tons of them right her--but we have not seen anything quite like the custom comic book invitations from Egba Originals . The company will create an entire comic book sta…
I have been a fan of gift bags for a long time, because I truly suck at wrapping gifts. And, we all know the dirty little secret when it comes to gift bags -- what comes around goes around. And around and around. That's why I love these …
I can't tell you how many times I've walked aimlessly around the toy store aisles trying to find just the right birthday gift for one of my son's friends. And just when I think I've found the perfect one -- the price tag indicates otherw…
Say "quilt" and certain words are likely to spring to mind, like old-fashioned, patchwork, and grannies -- but one look at the incredible modern quilts from Got Me In Stitches and you'll realize that you're way off base. These quilts are…

I don't care how many emoticons you use or how pithy an email you write, nothing will ever take the place of a thoughtful hand-written note. I still get a thrill when I receive an envelope in the mail from a friend , which is why I think…
What do I see when I look at this cloud? I see a floor free from clutter. The metal Cloud Shelf is the perfect place to stash toys, books and even my son's prized Spongebob baseball hat. It's deep enough to actually put stuff on at 6 inc…
Last year my son noticed that snack time at school meant 20 plastic cups thrown away every day. He suggested recycling bins for all the classrooms and made a poster encouraging other kids to go green. (I'm so proud!) That kind of hands o…
I dug into my Mother's Day stash of bubble baths recently only to realize that they are filled with tons of artificial chemicals and additives. Hardly a relaxing thought. Cyan Bonacci must have felt the same way since she created Lee-Lai…
Don't you love 20-something models advertising anti-aging creams? And yet, I fall for it every time. I have the drawer full of cosmetic jars to prove it. Admittedly I'm a sucker for hope in a bottle so when I had the chance to review the…
Some people think having a sense of environmental awareness and a sense of humor are mutually exclusive. This awesome kids' Mensch t-shirt featuring Sammy Davis Jr. proves them wrong. In fact the folks at Curly Monkey take irreverent and…
