There is something so wonderful about hand stamped jewelry. The purposeful act of stamping each and every character. No room for mistakes. It’s a thoughtful act. Mess up and you have to start all over again. In that respect it reminds me of the art of Torah scribes. This is why I am especially happy…

My boy is not such a little boy anymore. He doesn’t want to dress like one.  Which is why he loves the clothing I recently reviewed from Shaun White for Target. I loved the details and pricepoint as well. More pics and the full story on Shaun White Clothing for Boys on Childmode.

Planning our snacks on the go at home is easy. I have snack stashes in the car, in my purse and in each of my kid’s backpacks. We’re on the go so often that this is essential.  Impromptu play-dates at the beach, park and pool, school trips, errands, carpool… you just never know when someone…

Back in the 90s I stormed my way through Europe. On and off trains, in and out of clubs, up and down mountains. My shoe of choice? Palladium. I wasn’t a combat boot kind of girl. Too goth. But I had that artistic urban edge thing. Surplus army gear and anything I could personalize appealed…

Spring Cleaning: Making Outfits for my Boys

Every morning we get 4 kids, aged 4 through 15, out the door by 7 am. It’s not easy. Particularly for the littler ones, aged 4 & 7. They’d be happy to dress themselves daily. But I’m not so sure the school wants to see them in Mario PJ bottoms that are two sizes too…
