All in favor of gorgeous diaper bags, say Oi.
I can't say that I mourn the fact that my diaper bag carrying days are over. But really, it's the diapers I'm glad to be over with, not the bags. Especially when they're as awesome as this one. Comments: 0 | Find More: Baubles & Bags, Diaper Bags

Rubber stamp out boring Valentine's cards
My four year-old can spend an entire afternoon playing with rubber stamps. And I must admit, I never thought of using them much myself until watching her and seeing some of the results. (She's good!) So when I came across Mollie Flatley's Etsy shop packed with the lovely handmade rubber stamps, I was lured right in.

Adorable, eco-friendly baby clothes and gifts, 50%-80% off until they're gone (sniffle)
It's bittersweet when we see a mom-owned boutique that we love, close up shop. What Every Baby Needs, say it ain't so! But if there's an upside, it's the amazing discounts. You can now score 50% off everything on the site and up to 80% off sale and clearance items. Serious steals here, mamas.

How to do smoky eyes. A.K.A. If I can do it, you can do it.
For ages now, I've wanted to learn how to do the smoky eye thing--those perfectly smudged, beautifully lined eyes that manage to find that sweet spot between "racoon" and "morning after." And yet, for ages now, I have tried...and failed. This is one beauty trend that has eluded me. Until now. As it turns out I just had the wrong tools.

Your fortune: A very sweet Valentine's Day
As Valentine's Day creeps closer, I've been looking out for treats that don't list corn syrup or "chocolate-y" filling among the ingredients. One ingredient I do like: Felt. And that's pretty much all these adorable fortune cookies are made of.
