Let me save you the time of surfing endlessly for a personalized kids apron. I had some very specific criteria. I wanted a 100% cotton apron that came in white, fit a three-year old, and gave me the choice of a nice basic block font to write “Chef (your child’s name)” without requiring a [...]

My very thoughtful sister-in-law recently sent us a photo puzzle with an image of my family enjoying our first campfire cookout on a trip to Montana. She e-mailed me yesterday and mentioned that she’d be ordering several more photo puzzles as holiday gifts for nieces and nephews.
If you order this 252-piece personalized puzzle from Shutterfly, [...]

I’ve been looking around for some new non-plastic play food so I can stop cringing every time I catch my kids munching on the cheap plastic stuff they got last Christmas. Most of the kids felt or wood food I’ve seen has been super expensive. So I was happy to find Plan Toys’ wood food [...]

Personally, I like to lessen my impact on the environment by wrapping gifts in brown grocery bags and colorful ribbons. If you want to be eco-friendly this holiday season, but don’t want to sacrifice the look of a well-wrapped gift, you’ll be happy to learn about Fish Lips Paper Designs and their very cool recycled [...]

You know when the saleslady at Anthropologie asks you “Are you still doing okay?” that it’s time to put down the candle you’ve been sniffing off and on for a good five minutes. I’m a sucker for pine-scented candles. Lighting one up in the evening and having those Christmas tree smells wafting through the air [...]

This recipe from Martha Stewart is so decadent, it sort of reminds me of Paula Deen, southern celebrity chef extraordinaire, who always takes what looks like the most sinfully fattening delicious dish, and does just a little something extra to it. Like when she pops a cube of butter in the middle of her hamburger [...]
