The most difficult hour of my day are the the one right before the kids get shuffled out the door to their carpool. It’s even more chaotic on the mornings that I drive; while I can wave goodbye to them in my pajamas if necessary, I prefer not to pick up other people’s children while […]
It’s that time of year again: the flowers are starting to bloom, Easter is just around the corner, and sweet baby animals are being born and hatching. What could be cuter than a fluffy yellow baby chicken? Or a soft, velvety baby bunny? In the spring, many parents consider getting one of these pets for […]
The other day, we talked about how to choose the right size bike for your kids in “How to choose the right bicycle“. With spring just around the corner, it’s the time of year to think about buying a new bicycle if your child has outgrown his old one. Easter is only a couple of […]
Maclaren’s famous umbrella strollers are freshened-up for 2012 and a bit of a mysterious news story lurks in the background.
I was quite pleased to see the updates that Maclaren had made to their strollers this past week. I was worried because I had heard late last month that the company was filing for bankrupcy! If […]

Our resident TopChef and cooking advisor has some Turkey tips for you this holiday season…… It’s just my husband and I in our household, so I rarely make turkey. Perhaps a turkey breast now and then, but never a whole turkey. Besides I never needed to. Thanksgiving was always celebrated at my uncle’s house with […]
