At my son’s swim school, they required this kind of swim diaper for all kids under age 3. I somehow misunderstood the rule and thought all kids had to wear these, so I had him in the biggest size Imse Vimses, even after he turned 3. I figured all the big kids were wearing them [...]

Am I crazy thinking this would make a cute beach cover-up? I’m not sure if caftans are kind of chic now or if they are still too Mrs. Roper-y. This one, which has a “jeweled neckline and turquoise embroidery” was featured on the back cover of a catalog I just got in the mail from [...]

Clearly I don’t pay enough attention when cruising the cereal aisle, because I just discovered Fruity Cheerios yesterday. And they’ve been for sale for two years. So I’ll take a chance that this Froot Loop alternative is new to you too. Why do I love them so? They’re made with whole grains and with less [...]

I went to the mall this weekend and was so glad I did. Crazy sales everywhere. I was going to write about this bathing suit I bought for my daughter, but then these preppy plaid sunglasses caught my eye. So very Jackie O. For a laugh, you might also want to check out these oversize [...]

I ordered this book about a month ago, after reading about it on Salt and Chocolate. If you’re going to buy one book with ideas for fun and quick activities to fill the long days of summer with your preschooler, this is it.
