Ever since we saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi , everyone in my household has been obsessed with Porgs. Which is why I'm sort of freaking out of these Porg sneakers that just launched a few seconds ago. Related: 16 of the coolest Star Wars g…
Getting dressed presents special challenges when you have special needs, so we love it when big-time brands recognize the need and create adaptive styles that are just as cute and affordable as the originals. Target's Cat & Jack Adaptive…
Ken Burns called our national park system, "America's Best Idea." And I have to say, the president's decision yesterday to eliminate more protected public land than ever before in US history -- nearly 2 million acres -- is absolutely dis…
Since the introduction to Harry Potter 20 years ago (wha-aa?) I can't think of a children's book that's resonated with so many kids and adults as RJ Palacio's Wonder . It's made my own daughters' lists of Favorite Books Ever, and they ad…
This Halloween, sure. You might want to put together the spookiest decorations , the coolest jack-o-lanterns , and the most creative costumes for your kids...but sometimes, that's just not realistic. No shame in that, we get it! And that…
When Adidas released their new limited-edition beer-resistant, puke-proof shoes , they had Oktoberfest in mind. Sure, the famous German festival can be slippery and sloshy and generally pretty disgusting, but you know what? So is everyda…

Holy 90s redux! The Rugrats , one of my favorite all-time cartoons is back in the form of fabulous handbags, t-shirts, backpacks, hats and pet accessories. But wait! It's not just Rugrats! It's more like an entire 1993 Nicktoons marathon…
Wonder Woman -- let alone an exclusive all-female screening of the Patty Jenkins-directed Wonder Woman movie -- does not frighten the boys and men in my life, and for that I am grateful. I mean, what kid wouldn't want to look up to a bad…
While I want to be a little cynical about the brand new GAP collection of Star Wars 40th anniversary clothes and accessories for kids and adults , that just launched today I have to admit here...it's awesome. Like, design snob seal of ap…
