Tea for Me, Too

This is the child-size version of Stash Tea’s grown-up Teas Me Teaware. It comes in the same fun colors, and includes four cups and saucers, plus the teapot, sugar and creamer. Like the adult version, each teacup and saucer is different. Why do I keep talking about the grown-up set? All right, what I really […]

At last… a stylish fire extinguisher

I saw a little photo of the HomeHero in Time Magazine’s recent issue featuring the best inventions of the year. I have to admit, I never really thought much about the design of my fire extinguisher. But the svelte look of the HomeHero did catch my eye. The website says that this new design, available […]

Hanna Andersson Kids Moccasins (and Giraffe Print Boots Too)

I was flipping through the Hanna Andersson catalogue that came in the mail today, and one of those little insert cards fell out. Usually these really annoy me, but this one said I should go to their website for brand new holiday markdowns! Well, I went online to check out the goods and found these […]

Classic Christmas Music for Kids and Parents

I was going to write about the Bing Crosby White Christmas CD we’ve been listening to at our house, but the truth is, my son skips the first half of the CD to get to the fast songs that he can dance to. Then I got an email from Daily Candy about A Holly Jolly […]

Unique Hostess Gift: Pinecone Fireplace Matches

I like the idea of giving these pinecone fireplace matches as a hostess gift because, well, they’re not a bottle of wine. Many more unique designs available at areohome.com. $10 at areohome.com

Non-plastic Bowls and Plates for the Kids

With all the scary news about plastic toxins, I’ve been very tempted to throw away our kids’ many plastic plates and bowls. The only reason why I’ve stopped myself is the fact that they have to eat off something! I haven’t wanted to buy metal dishes made of aluminum or stainless steel, because it always […]

Natural wood carpentry set

If I were a kid and got this carpentry set, I would go nuts. It comes with a hammer, nails, glue, sandpaper, dowels, wheels and 80 pre-cut wood shapes. None of this plastic, pretend carpentry stuff. It’s the real deal. Everything fits into a 12×7 1/2″ box with cutout handles for carrying. And the box […]

Give your kids a Kaboost

I just got back from a little overnight Thanksgiving trip with the family. I have to say, I did pretty well at remembering to pack the essentials. But there’s just one item that would have made the holiday meal a lot more comfortable for my one-year old, who teetered on top of 2 pillows stacked […]

Guests coming over? Quick, hide the junk!

My dream of having Candace Olson over to give me a wall of built-in storage has not yet materialized. So in the meantime, I continue to stack mounds of blankets and toys anywhere I can. I love the idea of furniture that looks great and provides needed storage. My favorite is the new Charles Storage […]

Battery-Free Flashlight for Monster-Free Nights

Battery-Free Flashlight for Monster-Free Nights

One of the best tips I’ve received this year is to give my three year old a flashlight to keep on his bedside table – for when he hears a noise or thinks he sees something creepy in his room. It has really empowered him and helped him get to sleep much easier. But with […]
