Fabulously Chic. Irresistably Practical.
In honor of Earth Day, we are making recycled crafts this month.
What can you do with a plastic Tropicana Orange Juice Jug?
Well, you can make a bird feeder, watering can, a cool ball and scoop game (encourages outdoor play), a whale bath or water table toy, or a doll house or car garage. You can even save a rainforest…
I spotted this beautiful and educational wooden leaf shape puzzle over at Just Hatched’s Etsy Shop…
We’re happier than ever with our Britax seats now that we’ve seen them in action, keeping our children safe. Not only is Britax’s safety record impeccable, the company is a leader in increasingly high weight limits at each stage and configuration.
Even once you make the decision to face your child forward, the Britax Frontier (MSRP $279.99) combination harness-to-booster with “True Side Impact Protection” will keep her safe and secure in a five-point harness…
We have a theater just two villages over, right next to our library. Although I was a theater major in college (and I have the headshots to prove it) and I love plays, we’ve somehow never gone to see a show there…until today!
Inspired by the Tropicana Juicy Rewards, I printed out a coupon for one free admission and headed over to watch one of the children’s plays, Peter Rabbit
We’ll be doing a lot of crafting next week! Good thing our fellow bloggers have plenty of egg-cellent ideas!
Need a last-minute Easter Basket? Cover an old Easter Basket with fabric (Holidash) and I love this recycled carton Easter Basket craft from Sewing Crafting Sarah…
We posted an Easter Gift Guide last week and wanted to share some fun picks for kids for Passover, too. For some reason though, Jewish holidays seem to avoid the commercialization. After all, it is not like you would expect to see a plush doll of a Hebrew patriarch. Oh, wait!
What says Spring quite like flowery sundresses and brightly colored…hair? My preschool daughter, lover of all things pink, will create entire masterpieces in fuchsia. In her self-portraits, she is sometimes a vivid share of electric pink from head to toe. So, she adores her new punky-funky Corolle Les Dollies Pink Doll.
This little charmer has the sweetest little girl face with bright eyes, full, freckled cheeks, and a mischievous smirk. Her so-trendy cotton candy hair is rooted and brushable. Her trendy little sun dress with vivid butterflies…
We just love Rosie Hippo and mom, owner Kim.
An amazing survivor and dedicated mom, Kim left the corporate world to pursue a dream of offering beautiful toys that inspire imaginative exploration.
So, we are delighted to share a Shop Rosie Hippo for Organic, Earth Friendly Toys. Use Rosie Hippo Discount Code MAMA10 for 10% off until end of April 2010.
I’m a vegetarian and vegetables are a regular feature at our dining room table. My children, ages three and a half and one and half, love carrots and peas–a little more, please! But even the best eaters may go through a picky phase. And when toddlers seem to want to live on goldfish crackers or your kindergartner has turned into a cookie monster, you’ll want some tips from…Jennie Garth?
Yup. That’s right! Kelly Taylor from 90210 has a new show on iVillage, Garden Party, full of advice for getting your children excited about vegetables. And recently she visited Grand Central for a Love Your Veggies event.
One of our favorite parenting-writers, Brooklyn Mom Blogger Nicole at A Mom Amok, did some digging around in the veggie patch…
Easter was one of my favorite celebrations when I was little, although I was not a huge fan of the itchy tights. Now that I am a mama, I like to look for longer-lasting, eco-friendly goodies to share along with the giant chocolate bunnies.
Whether you celebrate Easter or not, we hope you have a great start to the Spring season with your family! Enjoy!
