I've been smitten with Stella McCartney's exclusive clothing line for the Gap for two seasons in a row, so when I heard she launched a new collection of her very own, I just had to check it out. And while this collection is priced higher…
A neighbor and I were just discussing the challenge of purchasing boy's clothes these days and we both agreed that you really do get what you pay for. And since I'm not too keen on purchasing two sets of clothes every season--sometimes m…
As a resident of the Deep South, my kids tend to not need a heavy duty coat until mid-winter, which means we're generally relegated to the plain old sweaters, hoodies, and fleece jackets. But with this year's trend of jersey knit jackets…
One night this week, a cold breeze wafted through the window, really for the first time, and I was struck with the horror that it's October now. And soon I would have to get the kids off to school with more than the backpacks on their ba…
Oh Lordie do I wish I could be one of those moms who whips up their kid's Halloween costume every year. But no, I end up going to some Party store and buying an overpriced polyester get-up. Whether or not you can sew I think this adorabl…

I know what you're thinking-- Why is the Georgia girl recommending mittens? Because I'm the biggest sissy about cold, that's why. But I'm proud to say that we have three whole inches of snow right now, and I sent my kids straight outside…
If I'm going to go through the trouble of suiting up three kids to play in the snow, they had better stay out there for longer than it took me to get them dressed. But an armful of snow lodged in the wrist is a total bummer, so back befo…
My daughter's favorite word these days seems to be "layers." She loves the idea of dressing herself in shirts and sweaters and jackets that she can peel off and put back on to her heart's content, especially with the cool mornings and wa…
