I have to admit that the quality and complexity of our household art project ambitions really took a nose-dive once there was a baby brother in the picture. My poor daughter. She loves nothing more than to sit down to the art table, supplies spread before her. But it’s hard to craft a play-dough baby while holding an actual baby […]

If the fair weather caught you and your dull complexion by surprise, don’t fret; you’re not alone. While it may be tempting to deepen your natural tone by basking in the sun’s refreshingly warm rays, a spring glow really isn’t worth the aftereffects of UV exposure. Instead, do your skin a service and slather on that sunscreen, but

Picnics are often impromptu affairs. And if this winter has taught us anything, it’s that weather is a fickle friend. When the sky opens up and the sun finally shines down, you can bet we’re seizing the opportunity for the kids to expend their restless energy while we soak in some vitamin D. Into our picnic basket goes

On Monday, April 7, baby George appeared at his first official engagement, disembarking from the royal plane in his mama’s loving

Staying away from coffee close to bedtime is a no-brainer when it comes to getting a good night’s rest. And most women know to lay off the wine and to power down the laptop at bedtime. But there are other nighttime pitfalls that aren’t quite as obvious–and they could be getting in your way of a sound sleep. And getting

Even though it’s been around for centuries, yoga is still one of the biggest workout trends and has thousands of Lululemon-clad devotees hitting the mat every day. Once you start going to class a few times a week, you get into a rhythm, enjoying the consistent class structure and the workout you’re supposedly getting out of it without going

Searching for something to keep your hands occupied and out of the Easter chocolate stash? This mini mani Monday, before the you and the kids dive into a world of dip dye and decals, practice your own artistic abilities. Turn their nails into teeny tiny canvases for fun pastel eggs, curious chicks and pink-eared bunny rabbits. Hop to it–and

You spend the final five minutes of yoga class in “corpse” pose, mentally ticking off your to-do list. When you see a picture of a multi-armed goddess, your first reaction is, “Wow, I wish I had some more arms to do multi-task with!” Sound familiar? If so, slowing down and taking a few moments to meditate (or
