Nothing says lovin' like a mom rubbing that bit of extra crusty, dried on whatsit from junior's face with a dab of saliva from her very own mouth. We've all endured it, said we'd never do it to our kids, and frankly, we lied. But, there's a better option to chasing, holding down, then licking your kids faces like a lollipop courtesy of oh so ...

Little kids and cars don't always mix, and for parents of those with a particularly sensitive gag reflex or explosive south-of-the-border reaction every time they turn the key in the ignition, the never-ending pile of laundry and buckets of upholstery shampoo just keeps growing and growing. At least that's what happened to moms Jen and Rebecca ...

Buds are blooming on the trees, bunnies and birds are doing their crazy love dances on the front lawn (not with each other - but you know what I mean), the smell of rainy freshness is in the air, and saving a planet that looks so deliciously dewy this time of year is on our minds. Well that, and it's Earth Day, so what better time than the ...

We've all lost a shirt, maybe some jeans or even a pair of shoes (I enjoyed an occasion where I lost my entire outfit, along with the slipcover on the couch and part of the living room rug all at once) to those baby burps, rumbles and toots that packed a little explosive, projectile combo punch behind them. And I don't know if this has happened ...

With so many retailers riding shotgun on the bio-friendly bandwagon, it's no wonder parents are at a loss when it comes to making a single store their one-stop organic shop. Thanks to Nubius Organics - think of them as conservationists with good fashion sense - it takes just few picks and clicks to outfit your whole abode with eco-friendly, ...

I'm all about neatness and cleanliness when it comes to mealtimes, but for a still-getting-the-hang-of-it silverware user (who also relies on the medieval hand-to-mouth method the rest of the time) like Wills, just getting that loaded spoon from bowl to mouth without having it all fall overboard halfway there is hard enough as it is. He's getting ...

Here we are, on the cusp of rosy red, heart-filled, chocolate-flavored February, and while Cupid's busy adjusting that diaphanous diaper and filling his quiver with pointy love darts, I'm finding it hard to resist the allure of ... organics. Forget all those racy, lacy Victoria's Secret postage stamp-sized underpinnings and ...

Everything from swanky baby baubles to pricey blankets to chi-chi dad gear to ritzy mom swag passes through these doors day in and day out, but every so often, I rip into a package to find an ingenious mama must-have disguised as Cinderella - aka something completely unpretentious - that just has that knock-your-socks-off wow factor that manages ...

As far as being a modernly minded mama goes, I don't know that I'm exactly the first person you'd think of as a poster parent for the movement. A cheerful, motley, comfortable and completely approachable bohemian combination of all things artfully eclectic, fashioned with vintage style and a contemporary twist is more my thing, and is reflected ...

And so is everybody else in the neighborhood. To keep germs at a minimum (having just had the Willster and myself come out of a nasty bout with the flu, including a trip to the ER for me), I'm all about antibacterial anything, and these nifty gifty Teeny Towels (shown at left) from Parents of Invention make keeping clean easy while dashing ...
