Cool Mom Picks From January 2008
Bloomin' Cute
It’s not coincidental that Bloom: A Little Book About Finding Love, comes out just in time for February's Hallmark holiday. And yet Dutch-born author/illustrator Maria Van Lieshout’s sweet little tome on loving the one you're with will delight kids the rest of the year as well

Give Me Liberty!
I'm always on the look out for something to do with my favorite pictures, other than frame them. Custom bags, jewelry - you name it, I've got it. But puzzles? Not until now.
