A “Manly” Photo Project for Father’s Day
I already lamented earlier this week about the hard time I had coming up with a good Father's Day gift last year. In the end I was successful, read all about it here, but a whole year has gone by and I'm having the same problem. I always seem to default to a photo gift of some sort. Maybe it's because my kids are still so young that they change A LOT from year to year and I like to give the hubs mementos of how small they once were. This year I'm once again going the photo route … [Read more...]
Father’s Day Idea: Help Dad Create Great Memories
Father's Day is hard! I think gift-giving for men in general is tough. Add on the pressure to find something that's personal, special, and that he actually likes - and it's damn near impossible! Around this time last year I was bemoaning this problem when it dawned on me that the greatest gift I could give my husband was to help him create some lasting memories with the kids. Don't get me wrong, my husband is generally fantastic at telling jokes, playing around, and just being … [Read more...]

Best Kid Gift Ever… Plus a Pretty Package

Top 3 Gifts for the New Mom
I was going to post this on Friday but I'm starting to freak out a little that Christmas is only 9 days away so I couldn't wait. Hopefully this will help if you're feeling a little under the gun too. This shirt from Gap is the answer to every new breast-feeding momma's dreams. It's one of those great forgiving tops that hangs just a little away from the post-baby-and-still-a-little-squishy stomach area. It's also a little thicker than most Ts so it doesn't cling. As rare … [Read more...]
