What little kid doesn’t love the idea of a magical fairy? If you are looking for a great birthday party theme to celebrate a spring birthday in the coming weeks and months, or are just looking for a spring-themed craft to keep the kids busy with something truly creative, we have just the thing. Constructing a magical […]

When I was in third grade, I went to Sicily for Easter with my father, who was born there, in a town called Sciacca on the West Coast. I was anticipating the Easter bunny and marshmallow peeps, but instead was greeted with small marzipan lambs, arranged meticulously in pastural scenes, and huge chocolate egg shells wrapped in

Happy Birthday, Rachel Weisz! The Oscar-winning film star and Olivier Award-winning theater actress turns 44 today. How will Narciso Rodriguez’s muse be celebrating the big day? We imagine she’ll have a quiet night in with hubby Daniel Craig. The notoriously private New York couple’s had quite the year, starring alongside one another as adulterous spouses in the Broadway

We must confess, we love Kim Kardashian’s fashion choices as of late. Chalk it up to motherhood or the influence of designer beau Kanye West, but her Alaia ensembles, Tom Ford heels, Wang booties and multiple Max Maras have our closets green with envy. Plus, while we’ve always admired her flowing, Veronika Lake-esque locks, we’re also totally

On Thanksgiving you talk turkey, on Christmas it’s often a roast or a lasagne or yet another turkey. But come Easter, for most families, it’s all about lamb, a symbol of spring and a succulent roast that couldn’t be simpler once you know how to season and cook it properly.

The transition from wiping salt-encrusted snow to grass-flecked mud off our floors means acknowledging the long-awaited change in weather. While we’re happy to wave goodbye to backbreaking shoveling and let in some much-needed fresh air, there is one little catch: spring comes hand-in-hand with full-on cleaning. Yes, it’s time to stop procrastinating, drag our butts off

There are oh so many ways to decorate an Easter egg. You can go the tried-and-true route of dyeing eggs, or you can mix it up with glitter, embossing, stenciling or marbleizing. This Easter, we vote you do just that. Ditch the finicky dye bath (who wants blue fingers for a week?) and paint your eggs.

Pick up last month’s issue of Shape magazine and you’ll see that Sharon Stone, now 56, looks just as good in a mesh pullover and bikini as she did in a short skirt and…significantly less underwear in 1992’s Basic Instinct. How has the mother of three and Agent X star manage such a feat? Well, a combination of strategies. According to the

Ah, bedtime. That sweet, sweet hour when you pack the kiddos off to dreamland and you get some much-needed “me time.” Right? Well, sometimes. Bedtime can also be one of the most stressful times of day. There are a lot of tasks (cleaning up, pajama time, teeth-brushing) packed into an intense period of time, and often when kids

In our Little Pink Book, we get recommendations for great shopping, activities, and restaurants from moms who live all over the world. Our moms have great taste, so it shouldn’t be surprising that the bakeries where many of them buy their bread are also some of the world’s most famous bakeries. We’re obsessed with food and
