Do Babies All Have to Be Einsteins?
If you gave birth within the last ten years, the odds are about 4 in 5 that you've got one of those make your baby a rocket scientist DVDs on your shelf. Because even if you steered away from such things yourself, someone else thought it was a fabulous shower gift. Am I right?

Like You Needed Another Reason to Buy More Books
At the request of my husband, I have curtailed my purchases of hordes of children's books for my avid little reader. And while being relegated to the library isn't such a bad thing, there's something about a crisp new book that I just can't let go of.

Made In the Shade
I can't be the only one who, in a fit of desperation, draped a receiving blanket over the top of my stroller to shield my sleeping baby from the sun.

I've been a fan of The Thymes line of bath and beauty products ever since the sigOth and I first spotted them in a great boutique on vacation years ago. He wanted the fig leaf-cassis candle, I wanted the lavender lotion. We compromised - by buying forty different things.

How Naughty Can They Be If They Don't Pee on Your Bed?
My sigOth thinks I'm mean when I tell him I'm getting rid of half of my kid's stuffed animals, but when she isn't yet two and the collection is are taking up more of the crib than she does(to say nothing of the living room and two toy boxes), I think it's time to start paring down. And then I come across these.
Giving New Meaning to Unique Jewelry
I'm a total sucker for a baby keepsake, I admit it. But it's got to be a keepsakes that no one else has ever seen before so I can maximize The Ooh-Ahh Factor.

I've just discovered a new go-to baby gift to add to my list: The beautiful A Bicycle Built for Two Year Olds
It took me three years to figure out that my daughter doesn't care what the heck her ride-on toy looks like, just so long as it has wheels and she doesn't have to work them. As for me...well, I care.
