Run, don't walk, to get your hands on this sharp set of bookends. From Boneshaker to World War Z, you've finally got a place to keep your favorite books about how to survive the coming zombiepocalypse. Not into zombies? That's okay, too.…
Though I love the convenience of sending e-cards to those near and dear, there is still something special about getting an honest-to-goodness "real" card in the mailbox, especially on holidays like Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I'm never,…
Ever since my penpal days (I had 31 of them! At the same time!), I've loved personalized stamps. I was a preteen, so they were of the unicorn-and-rainbow variety--oh, and penguins. I had way too many penguin stamps. My tastes--and time--…
The greatest thing about kid's fashion is not only can kids get away with being whimsical but they can make statements that adults can't necessarily make. My daughter has a tutu skirt that she pairs with neon-green-polka-dotted leggings.…
Decorating the nursery is one of the best--or most frustrating, depending on your point of view--rituals of pregnancy. Whether you're a perfectionist that knows exactly what you want and can't find it anywhere (oh, how I feel you!) or ar…
Any fab gift ideas for 9 month old boy who has everything? - Alysia, via Twitter If you're about to visit a little one who has "everything" (a slightly daunting proposition when he's not even a year old!) I like giving toys that can be b…
I always need another reason to eat cupcakes (well, I don't need a reason) and now I have one. All I need is a baby shower invitation and I'm all set. The edible icing cupcake topper folks at Ticings.com (a big fave around here) have col…
In our family we have a tradition we like to think of as Peaster--an Easter, Passover hybrid that acknowledges all the traditions of the diverse, wonderful people in our family. The one thing that holds the whole thing together? Eggs. Wh…
I am a terrible procrastinator when it comes to Easter basket ideas, always shopping for my kids' gifts a few days before the holiday and wishing I had planned ahead for once. But, this year, I've found a few special picks that you'll ne…
When dressing my daughter, I am constantly looking for unique clothing. Something that the entire pre-school isn't wearing. It can be a hard task, especially when living in middle America, where large department stores are our best frien…
I just found the absolute perfect baby gift if you're looking for something sweet, personalized, and indie. In fact we love it so much, it's one of the first items we knew we wanted in our baby shower gift guide this year. This personali…
I've always liked the idea of decorating a child's room with fine art photographs. If the colors are great and the subject is cool, it can make a room feel so fresh and modern. So I'd say bright, colorful photos of classic children's toy…
The standards for kids' birthday cakes have gone up a bit since I was little, when we just stopped by the Piggly Wiggly and had the teen behind the counter misspell my name between the lumpy sugar roses. Now we want them to be beautiful,…
When I saw this amazing DIY kit at Bundle, it screamed "sibling gift" so loud at me I almost considered having another baby just so my kids would have a reason to make one. Truly, this is one of the coolest ideas I've ever come across. I…
I spent a good portion of my childhood coloring, drawing and creating and was very proud of what my mother assured me was some serious talent. I can't even imagine how excited I would have been if she then had one of my creations turned …
I've always loved coffee, but it took becoming a mother to truly appreciate the wonder that is take-out coffee. Yes, the coffee is more expensive than if I made it myself, but my daily latte is an indulgence I allow myself for a few minu…
I had my trusty HALO sleepsacks to thank for getting me a few nights of sleep when blankets weren't the safest option for my little roly poly babes. So how cool to hear about a new collaboration between HALO and Pottery Barn Kids that's …
While we may not be the kind of family to have our last name on a welcome mat outside our front door, it doesn't mean we aren't super proud of our clan. So, when my anniversary came around this past year I thought, sure, a traditional ro…
Ink stamps give everyday notes just the right amount of pop. I've always been interested in making my own designs but until this ridiculously cool product was created, that seemed just way too complicated. Yellow Owl Workshop puts all of…
My husband and I do Valentine's Day Lite, meaning that we will not be forking out $200 for a fancy meal, or buying each other expensive jewelry or electronics as a sign of our devotion. But that doesn't mean I am totally comfortable with…
O, G. Can it B? Y, yes, I can C that a rainbow of letters is waiting for U. Seriously, though. Aren't these recycled felt letter pillows too adorable for words? The Personalized Letter Pillows from MableDear on Etsy are big, snuggly, and…
Labels are a necessary part of school life, but don't go to the dark side and use marker on masking tape. With these free Star Wars printable tags, you don't have to. Whether your kid goes to the Jedi Academy or PS 81, these labels will …
I have a serious addiction. I love art toys . The first thing everyone always tells me is "adult toys, really?" No, no, friends. Art! I dig the whimsical designs, the variety, and the limited editions. My kids dig 'em too, so it's win, w…
Okay so maybe I'm jumping the gun a little with the Christmas thank you notes, but hey--I know myself. Next week I'll be carousing with family, New Year's will hit, I'm back to work, and bam , no more free time. That's when all the thank…
