The Body Shop

I love the natural approach to body care and cosmetics, and I especially love the body butters. (Mango and Brazil Nut and Shea). Scrumptious. Their newest addition is all about your newest addition: Buriti Baby. It’s a complete line of baby bath [...]

beautifully made bed.

But it has such a nicely pulled together look [...]

chalkboard dining room.

by Allison January 20, 2009home_decorating

Spotted this on Design*Sponge today. I love the unconventional-ness of chalkboard paint in a dining room. I’ve thought many many times about painting a wall outside the kids’ bedrooms in chalkboard paint, but haven’t because I picture chalk dust as a constant companion on the carpet. Has anyone tried it and loved it? Or tried [...]

I am so excited about tomorrow I can barely contain myself. I can’t believe the history that’s being made, and am itching to watch the coverage on t.v. tomorrow.

by Allison January 19, 2009Family

I have a friend who is a workout devotee. She is the most faithful exerciser I’ve ever known, ever. I asked her once to give me some tips, some motivational inspiration, something, anything to help me get a move on. She told me this: “It’s just a part of my day, like feeding my kids, [...]

thinking ahead to Spring

by Kimberly January 16, 2009lusting after clothes

…and to quickly returning to my normal clothing size. I’ve been charmed by some of the new pieces at, of all places, Old Navy.  Maybe it’s the happy, contrasting colors, or the apparent comfort-factor, or the mommy-functionality that’s tempting me.  mid-rise pants, $32.50. for schlepping around town in comfy style.  hooded henley, $16.50. love those bright [...]
