I've seen my fair share of personalized jewelry for moms, and I tend to lean towards more unique pieces that don't have me wearing my kids' engraved names, birth dates, and shoe sizes around my neck. (Well, maybe one, but not all three t…
I bought a few felted wool bowls a long time ago and while they seemed a bit of a frivolous purchase at the time, they turned out to be really useful. They sat on my dresser to catch all my rings, dainty bracelets, and tiny necklaces jus…
Lent is over, Easter is here, and while the kids are swimming in jelly beans and Peeps, we think it's only fair that the adults get a little indulgence of their own. And that's where the Chocolate Jesus comes in. This is no ordinary choc…

I've had my eye on this floral trend for awhile now, but it took seeing the gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff floral trim cross body ba g below to finally convince me that I could pull it off--with the caveat that I need to be focusing on cool fl…
My kids do really well drinking out of actual cups, but sippies and cups with straws are a fixture for my little ones who still tend to spill a little. Or, on bad days, more than they actually get in their mouths. That's why I'm really d…
I went nuts over the Ninjabread men cookie cutters when we featured them awhile back because heaven knows we love unique cookie cutters. So it's no surprise that I'll soon be adding these gingerbread action man cookie cutter s to my coll…
