Stay at the posh Hotel Manoir Victoria, which has a special entrance for strollers and an indoor pool. What’s not to love [...]

photo by Sarah Gilbert Years ago, I went to a silly “roll your own” sushi and head-shaving party hosted by some people I barely knew. I dragged my sister, Meggan, along to keep me company and we enjoyed the general mayhem of the theme. Rolling your own sushi is quite easy if you have all the ingredients. [...]

Heather and I went to the BlogHer ‘08 conference this year and I must say that my single biggest takeaway was that Twitter is the next big thing. That very day, I became an addict, installing Twitterberry on my phone and looking at the tiny messages people are posting all day long. Access it on [...]

Could these hair barrettes BE any cuter? No, I don’t think so. AngryChicken has a full tutorial about making a felted “sleeping bag” for these baby hair clips and then adorning them with buttons so they stay put. In my house, I’m a constant hair clip wearer (and thus, loser of hair clips). Sometimes my [...]

If you’re getting sick of your “to do” list getting longer and not shorter and wondering where the heck is all your time going, try writing a “did do” list. Share it with your baby-daddy at the end of the day and encourage him to be very impressed. The truth is that your time is [...]

I am assuming that Seattle, like Berkeley, is a hotbed of green ideas. So it’s no surprise that Lynn at Family Style Love says “I think that I have become borderline obsessed with “greening” my life.” She makes the most excellent point that all the magazine articles that are selling us greener versions of [...]

My daughter’s first summer wasn’t that awesome, to be honest. She was born on the 4th of July, so I was fat and sweaty all summer. I hardly slept. Postpartum, I had enormous breasts that were probably visible from across the bay in San Francisco. I was terrified of being left alone with [...]

I found this adorable idea on Being Savvy: Boston. Jill and her kids took a beach vacation and made some crafty, personal souvenirs that doubled as daytime entertainment. Brilliant. Jill writes: Vacations are special, and I often say they are what memories are made of. So it is important to preserve these memories, and what better [...]
