Fabulously Chic. Irresistably Practical.
Affinity Washer and Dryer “appliances”. It is like some advanced alien civilization visited my laundry room and left behind their space-age technology.
Maybe it is just because I’m frugal, but I’ve never owned anything quite like this before. Sure, the other appliances are good. They are more efficient, sharper-looking, and roomier than my old ones. But the washer/dryer are a whole other species of home electronics…
Zambi may just be an animatronic elephant, but he’s one charismatic ambassador for an important cause.
Project Zambi is devoted to raising awareness and funds for children who are orphans of the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Hasbro donates fifty percent of the net profits –a minimum of $500,00– from sales of Zambi the Baby Elephant, a special edition Furreal Friends, to the Project Zambi Fund, part of the Hasbro Children’s Fund…
The name “Radio Flyer” evokes memories of flying down the driveaway on my tricycle and, of course, hauling freshly picked apples in a classic red wagon. A beautiful thing about parenthood is the opportunity to relive those memories with my children.
Just in time for apple-picking season, Radio Flyer sent me their Ultimate Comfort Wagon, a fresh take on a classic toy…
y little one just turned three and we’re still trying to hold the line on the birthday party escalation. Since she has a some friends, now, we had a few girls over for ice cream cake and crafts.
My daughter loves crafting and the party pack of small Calafant Toys cardboard toys from Creative Toy Shop was the perfect party activity and take-home toy favor…
Jumpstart believes in the potential inside of each child to succeed and learn and focuses on early literacy as the path to fulfilling that potential.
As a mother, as an educator, and as a human being, I believe that literacy is one of the most important gifts we can give to our children. Reading is a key to entire worlds filled with possibilities. Which is why it is so important that we give every child access to books…
Confession: I am a total Halloweenie.
What’s not to love? Harvest time, crisp autumn air, playing dress up, and lots of treats!
Last Halloween, my daughter just started to grasp a little of the fun of dressing up, visiting our neighbors, and getting a bag full of candy. This year I’m hoping to introduce the joy of the “spookables”, as my dear friend and cartoon alter-ego Tigger calls them…and Pooh’s Heffalump Halloween Movie has plenty of Halloween spirit…
There’s a member of my family who takes a little ribbing for an insistence on washing each dish thoroughly before placing it in the dishwasher–and the dishes are so immaculate no one knows if the washer has been run or not. This person insists that is the only way the dishes get clean. Add to that the time spent drying the dishes after the dishwasher is done, and there is almost no point in putting the dishes in the dishwasher.
So, I was really hoping that our new Frigidaire dishwasher would cut down on the time and effort we put into washing dishes in our household…
Being a mom-to-be in the city is certainly not without its challenges – not the least of which is finding a place to put all that cool urban baby gear that is slowly accumulating in my NY-sized apartment. Enter the StrollAway, an over-the-door stroller storage system invented by a mom (the best baby stuff is, right?) right here in NYC.
