The Ten Best Stocking Stuffers

Buying presents for some people can be a very difficult task, especially when you buy presents for them year after year. When you add the concept of then having to get stocking stuffers on top of that the whole holiday season can seem daunting ...

Starbucks offers afternoon discounts

Budget tightening has forced many sleep-deprived parents to forgo that delicious morning Starbucks and brew their own non-frothed coffee at home. But good news for sleep-deprived parents: the Seattle-based company has just unveiled a nationwide ...

Cheap gifts for Father's day (the inexpensive kind, not the dinky kind)

Let's face it--the economy stinks. Or, maybe, we never had any money anyway. Still, we love dad and want to get him something special--or at least useful and not (too) gimmicky--for Father's Day. We don't have the money for the new watch he ...

What I really want for Mother's Day

Moms are great. Dads are too, for sure, but this week, and this month, we're talking mamas. And you know what? Mamas work hard. I knew when I first got pregnant that being a mom would change my life, be unlike anything I'd ever done, and be very, ...

There goes my neighborhood

Actually, it's my former neighborhood. Apparently--and please pardon me, as there may be just a teensy little bit of bile forming in the back of my throat (and it's NOT morning sickness)--the creator of Melrose Place are considering another such ...

Top parenting inventions of all time, according to me

• Drive-through Starbucks • Wet wipes • "Washable" crayons • Pixar movies • Magna-Tiles • Swaddle-specific blankets • Grocery delivery services • Old Navy kids' clothes • The comedic genius that is Louis ...

2008: Year of the positive resolution!

The other day, I think it was in a magazine, I read something about resolutions that stuck with me. They tend to be negative--lose weight, stop smoking, lay off the cupcakes and booze, that kind of thing. Rarely do they direct us to love, enjoy or ...

Product Recall: Starbucks Children's Plastic Cups

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Starbucks have announced the voluntary recall of about 250,000 Children's Plastic Cups. If the cup is dropped, the face on the cup could break off and leave small plastic parts with sharp edges that ...

Starbuck's admits to marketing to kids

My older two children love Starbuck's, as in looooove. And why not? The drinks are sweet, topped with whipped cream and leave them bouncing off the walls. This is why I go to all ends of the earth to avoid the place. My children get enough sugar ...

Would you wear this badge?

This was just too funny to pass up. Many of you may be familiar with the antics of the folks over at Dadsmacker, a site devoted to pointing out just how uncool all us again hipster parents are even though we think quite the opposite. The site also ...

Mary-Kate Olsen is pregnant (just for fun)

This is hysterical, and just what I needed to get me through this Sunday morning. I doubt with almost 100% certainty that Mary-Kate Olsen is pregnant. My guess is that she just ate a sandwich or something, which, compared to her usual diet of ...

Addiction of the Week: Starbucks' Frappuccino Blended Crèmes

Although there are mixed reviews out there as to whether or not caffeine is good or bad for the developing baby and pregnant mother, I find caffeine makes me a bit wiggy, so I've been avoiding it. But I still like to use the coffee excuse to sneak ...

Ex-girlfriend sighting!!!

So an interesting thing happened the other day. I was with my husband and the baby on one of those rare occasions where he joins me for coffee at a local Starbucks in the morning before going to work. Normally we separate at the subway and the baby ...

Enjoy your time with your children

Gee, that sounds logical. Like no one ever thought of that. Still, I got your attention, no? I'm writing today because an interesting era of my life, albeit a small one, is about to come to an end. Really, it's more like a crashing halt, and one ...

Have baby: Will travel...greetings from the heartland

[Have baby: Will travel chronicles one new family's roadtrip adventure from New York to the South...and back.] Wow. I've been without consistent (or any) Internet access since I last wrote, and all I can say is: wow. I never realized how ...
