Put down that take-out menu--I'm here to tell you that yes, you can cook a complete meal without pulling out your hair. Sure, there are a million recipe sites out there, and some of them are fantastic, but what if you want instructions o…
In honor of our friends up in Vancouver, we thought we'd celebrate the 2010 Winter Olympics opening by helping the littlest among us to get into the spirit - with the fantastic leather maple leaf bib from Mally Bibs. It's a great way to …
I'm a huge fan of Greek yogurt, and apparently I'm not alone. It has a creamier texture and the perfect hint of tang, and it also happens to have a ton of calcium and protein making it a staple in my fridge for a healthy meal on the go .…
The more time I spend around other people's babies, the more I realize how lucky I was that my own weren't the types to end up with more peas on their bodies than in their mouths at meal time. For those kids who like to get a little more…
Expat mums in the US or those just enamored (or enamoured ?) of European baby products will be delighted to know that Tommee Tippee , Britain's #1 megabrand of sippies and bottles is about to flood American malls - or at least those with…
When I had a friend on major bedrest with her second child this past year, it turns out the gift of food (and our company) was the greatest help to her of all. So I simply love the services that are cropping up like Susie's Supper Club ,…
Regardless of what type of activities we bring with us to the table when we eat out, we still only ever get about 10 minutes of peaceful eating time. And that's on a good night. If you feel my pain, you'll want to invest in a few pairs o…
My no-time-to-think breakfast of choice is a crunchy bowl of granola, but the good stuff has so many calories that all I can think about is how much time I'll have to do on the elliptical to work it off. But with Mix My Granola 's Pringl…
I confess; I made my own baby food. But just so we're clear, I was less a domestic goddess and more a garden-variety control freak. I spent late nights cooking and chopping and freezing, and honestly, I took no joy in it whatsoever. Bori…
I may smirk like a 9-year-old when I say the name but that hasn't stopped me for devouring Peas of Mind's new Veggie Wedgies , which are all-natural vegetable and fruit wedges cut and baked crispy to look like french fries. Healthy fries…
Yeah, sometimes we want to hit our favorite restaurant and the kids can nibble off our plates or make do with -- gasp! -- adult food, but other times we're faced with the realities of a tight budget and wanting to keep the peace. With Ki…
When I first had a baby, I kind of thought that a baby feeding set was one of those silly, outdated keepsake gifts that sits on the shelf. As it turns out, my toddler and my four year-old still fight over the "teeny spoon." Because you k…
Before I had kids, I vowed that I would force them to eat the crusts on their sandwiches.. And then I had children who hated crusts. Now I'm eating their crusts and my words. With the Lunch Punch , you kill two birds with one stone -- cu…
When I first heard of the MojaMix Custom-Mixed Cereal , I thought you'd have to be a pretty picky eater to need that. And then I remembered that I custom-order three different kinds of coffee beans to hand mix at home for my perfect roas…
When my kid were old enough to stop smacking their cereal bowls with their hands to flip them, I was excited to trade up from the melamine dish set we had. Besides, I was getting kind of tired of the same bright orange every day. I think…
Recently, my Michael Pollan-obsessed sigOth and I have had some conversations about stepping up our meal preparation game for the kids. So I'm pleased to have discovered two new cookbooks that seem primed to help us find some options tha…
I do not have six million free hours in my day but if I did, I just might consider turning my kids' sandwich into a giraffe. Or a caterpillar. Or Sponge Bob. Just because I could. And if I were to do that kind of a thing, I would have to…
Stokke's Tripp Trapp high chair is a classic that's been around for 37 years--in fact, my daughter recently sat in the one that I had used as a kid. How's that for longevity? The basic principle behind it remains as popular with parents …
With my oldest daughter's recent transition from sippy cups to regular cups, I'm having to scrounge around for our collection of BPA-free IKEA plastic cups that tend to end up in our bath tub as play toys instead of filled with milk on o…
My kids eat pretty much little to nothing these days, but they do have a thing for sushi. Okay so it's really just rice with soy sauce and maybe some veggie tempura. But it's a start. I think it's in part because of the training chopstic…
Fried chicken fingers and pink boneless spareribs are not real Chinese food , I tell the kids whenever we order take-out, and now I have the latest Handstand Kids' Chinese Cookbook to back me up. The latest from Handstand Kids' Italian C…
On a good week, I plan our meals but in reality, I sometimes find myself facing a nearly-empty fridge, wondering what I can cobble together for dinner out of half a lemon, some mustard, and a handful of mushrooms. (Oh, like that's never …
We've always loved modern high chairs but they tend to be on the squint-your-eyes- as-you-hand-your-credit-card-over side of things. Even so, the cheap plastic versions aren't a very appealing alternative when you consider the damage to …
A bib is not something that makes you gasp upon opening the package. It's just not. Whatever combo of terry or cotton or vinyl or whatever...it's a bib. So why exactly did I gasp when I opened the Bibbie from Dilly Dally ? This beautiful…
