I know, I know – this is supposed to be about the kids! But let’s face it – they certainly don’t help us look any younger. With the lack of sleep, sticky grimy hands all over your face and irregular eating times, it is no wonder our age starts to be a tad more noticeable. read more »
DandyCraft Handmade Ceramic Jewelry
Sometimes I spend so much time thinking about what I’m going to gift others this holiday season that I am stumped when someone asks me what is on my list. ‘Me?’, I think. ‘I don’t really need anything.’ And while that might be true, there are certainly plenty of things that I’d like to have. And with that, I thought I’d help you out by passing along one of my favorite gifts from my sweetie. read more »

The stocking we choose for Lexi’s first Christmas is sure to stick around for, well, ever. So, to find the ONE perfect stocking that will last from baby through teens and beyond is perhaps asking a bit much. It needs to be classic, bright and cheery and well, something that we will actually want to hang in our house. That being said, here are some of the favs that I’ve found. I’m sure there are more out there in Santa’s Stocking Land but for now, these are my front runners.
Garnet Hill's Woolen Stockings
Garnet Hill Hable Stockings
Garnet Hill’s Woolen Stockings take me back to a time when Grandmothers spend time darning socks and the most exciting gifts came in the stocking. At a hefty $64 per stocking, it is on the high end but divide that by forever and well, it’s a few bucks per.
We also love their Hable Stockings for a bright whimsical take on the modern stocking. With nine designs to choose from, you are sure to find one you love.
From Sundance Catalog, you’ll find these fabulous Handknit Holiday Stockings made from a women’s collective in Bosnia.

The 2 AM Craving by AJ Sweet Soap on Etsy
This absolutely cracked me up! AJ Sweet Soap on Etsy makes these surprisingly realistic soaps of pickles and ice cream – The 2 AM Craving. Now, while I have yet to meet anyone who craved them simultaneously, I sure had my pickle spell and my ice cream spell during my pregnancy with Lexi. read more »
Diamancel Foot Files
Of course you are. If you are a mom like me, those weekly or bi-weekly pedicures are a thing of the past. I can’t even recall the last time I had a ‘real’ pedicure. That being said, sometimes a girl just needs to soften those soles a bit. read more »
Large Mac Monkey, available at www.everythingmonkeys.com
There are some kiddo nicknames that seem someone universal. Peanut. Princess. Monkey…
My husband and I will admit to using one (or all) of these in any given day, with a particular fondness for “monkey”. It just seems to describe our baby girl perfectly. Especially these days now that she has discovered how to use her crib slats like a ladder and “walk” the perimeter of her sleeping space while lying on her side. You can imagine how thrilled I was to come across the Everything Monkeys website and store.
