Flexible measuring cups…really, do I need to say...

As a child, I do not recall being forced to floss every day. I’m sure my mother was too busy focusing on getting me to wear my rubber bands (part of my 4 painful years in braces) to push the floss. I only recently became a fan of flossing when I found the Reach...

I know that I have inherited my fascination with placemats from my mother. She has several unique sets. I really like these cool placemats from CB2. They kind of remind me of the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing. And, they are on sale right now...

I’m not sure if I’m in the majority or minority here, but I think Crocs are ugly…unless kids are wearing them. They are adorable on kids (except on escalators). However, I tried them on and could not believe how comfortable they were…so I gave...

My sister’s birthday is tomorrow and I have not bought a gift for her yet. Since Zappos can get things delivered faster than the speed of light, I started to look for her gift. Until I got distracted by this cute Cole Haan bag. Sorry Meryl…I’ll get...

My friend Mary Stuart’s mom, Mary, has a kitchen full of fancy chef’s knives, including several paring knives…and she says her Kuhn Rikon Knives are her favorite paring knives. To be perfectly honest, I am not entirely sure when to use a paring...

What a great way to display your child’s artwork…instead of covering your refrigerator with it, you can send it to Lands’ End and they will put it on a tote bag for you. You can get it printed for about $10 or embroidered for a bit more ($155 to be...

I saw this water bottle ice cube tray a few months ago and thought it was kind of silly…until I went to the beach. I planned to fill my bottle with ice (since it is 900 degrees outside) and just a bit of water so it would stay cool longer. Have you ever tried to...

My sister bought the Rand McNally Kids Illustrated World Wall Map for my nephew Nathan (otherwise known as her son). Anyway, I love wall maps and was very excited to hear that he had one. It is really cool – it comes with a guidebook full of interesting...
