So, if you’re lazy, like Tori Spelling, you can purchase a cape from the reputable source Power Capes. (If you’re in San Francisco, you can drop by Paragraph on 9th Ave in the Inner Sunset to get a unique cape). But if you’re crafty, follow these simple instruction to make your own! You’ll need 1 [...]
Little Men

So, I hate most children’s clothing. Why so bright? Why so appliqued? Why must we embarrass our children this way? Well… I did once (at five) chose a glitter-covered Donald Duck tank top in a size three times too big for me… my poor mother. Oh well. But on our own dimes, we can choose [...]

How did I never know of the Exersaucer? I realize that even if someone had shown me this item, I would have been like, “EW! That thing is ugly! Not in my house, no way!” That was before I realized that I would do almost anything (include allow my lovely home to look like a [...]

Can you even imagine if we lived in the dark ages of photography and had to like… print our own photos? How could I survive without online photo processors? Everyone likes photos in their hands, but can you imagine if we had to leave the house to print photos? My new favorite thing (I’m sure [...]

So, not only do babies seem to not know how to eat, but my baby doesn’t want to eat, either. In fact, some of the faces she’s given me have been not only confused, but rather accusatory. As if this feeding procedure is a punishment for a crime for which she’s blaming the cat. We [...]
Light Porn for the Ladies

So, I’m not a fan of pornography for so many reasons (most are detailed in New York Magazine in a piece from Naomi Wolf) but let’s just say I’m also a hot-blooded (OK, at least luke-warm blooded) woman, and I like to look at men… tee hee. But I would never stoop to pornography. So, [...]
How to Deal

OK, so I stole that title from the film based on two of Sarah Dessen‘s books. Whatever. So these are the books I can handle reading right now. They’re for kids, or teens, or something. I’m not sure if I’ve shared this with readers who don’t know me, since it’s kind-of a dark secret, but [...]

I can’t wait until May 7th, when the documentary Babies comes out in the United States. The film follows four babies in the first year of their lives. According to Yahoo Movies, the film introduces “Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, [...]
