I practically lived in keds when I was a kid. I haven’t worn them in years but they’ve done some wonderful updating to their styles and I’m very tempted. They look comfy, summery and cheerful: tangy red skimmer meadow moc from Keds new Green Label: made from organic cotton, recycled rubber, nickel-free eyelets and non-toxic ink. and you can even customize your own pair right on their site, using their colors and patterns or uploading your own. Fun, and what…

Our fit tip today comes from our very own KJ, who is the mother of a very new-ish baby and is exercising. She says: Very early mornings are usually my only chance to get in some concentrated exercise. It’s hard to get out of bed after that 5 am feeding for baby, but it helps to lay out me exercise gear at night: shoes, socks, industrial strength foundation garment, ipod, etc. in a neat stack next to the bed so…

My husband has a [huge] collection of concert t-shirts, from Garth Brooks to Page & Plant to U2. They currently reside in a plastic storage bin, in a closet, and have been there our entire marriage. He doesn’t wear them, but won’t part with them. Finally, thanks to the clearly talented mama behind This Mama Makes Stuff, I’ve found a very cool solution: Infant nightgowns. Very cool for the following reasons: 1. infant gowns are among my favorite baby things,…

The amazing weekend I had at Mom 2.0 a couple of months ago wouldn’t have happened without some wonderful sponsors. Sponsors who *get* the influence of women blogging, networking, and sharing with one another. My main sponsors, deserve a big round of applause. {insert applause here}. They each get their own post, deservedly, but I’m going to start off with Lark & Loon. I’ve written about Lark & Loon a few times. I absolutely love their clothing, and their motto…

Let’s face it, even though I’m not exactly earning a living with this blogging business, it does come with some pretty great perks. Like being invited to a Goldsmith Jewelers red carpet event with a bunch of hot Utah bloggers. It’s always fun to spend a night chit chatting with my blogging friends while noshing on delicious catering and drinking sparkling cider from swanky glasses. See what I mean about all the hotness? Alma, Kelsey, and me on the red…

Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without! Those are wise words, especially in these “tough economic times” that we keep hearing about. And to be honest, I’m trying to at least partially incorporate them into my life. For example, the hat that I made last week. Instead of going out and buying the perfect fabric for the project, I raided my fabric stock pile that has just grown and grown for the last several years. And…

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a fan of IKEA and all its cleverness. Have you seen these child-size dishes? Non-plastic, food safe. Very cute. And for $9.99, make that very cute indeed.
I hope it’s sunny and spring-like wherever you may be today. I hope someone left a basket of flowers at your door step. I hope you left flowers for someone, too. What’s May Day all about, anyway? Martha Stewart knows.
