Book Review: The Parking Lot Rules

December 30, 2008

I’m not really sure what led me to buy Park­ing Lot Rules & 75 Other Ideas for Rais­ing Amaz­ing Chil­dren.  I guess it was the glow­ing Edi­to­r­ial Reviews on Amazon.com, as I bought it a cou­ple months ago and as of today, there are only five cus­tomer reviews (4 of which gave 5 stars). When it […]

December 19, 2008

I thought I would share a few of the prod­ucts that I have found very help­ful in the first three months of moth­er­hood. There are three basic cat­e­gories — Hoppediz, dia­pers and boobs.

December 19, 2008

Accord­ing to the Ger­man con­sumer rat­ings mag­a­zine Stiftung War­entest, these are the top five car seats in each cat­e­gory that have earned either a “good” or “very good” qual­ity rat­ing.  The num­ber in paren­the­sis is the score received, the lower the score, the bet­ter the car seat did in tests.  When fewer than five seats […]

Save Handmade

December 15, 2008

We love hand­made kids’ stuff, like one-of-a-kind cloth­ing from Etsy and hand­crafted wood toys made in small batches by arti­sans. But the recently-passed Amer­i­can Con­sumer Prod­ucts Safety Act could put many of our favorite U.S. hand­crafters out of busi­ness.
