Just for Boys
October 18, 2006
Dressing a boy can be fun too! Check out Pure Boy Clothes, a site dedicated to clothing just for boys (in toddler and kid sizes).
Some of my favorites? Check out the Morfs Brand Vintage Superhero t-shirt and the Dogwood camouflage pjs. Every boy needs some camo!
These cute “designer” boy clothes don’t come cheap, but at least you’ll find some fun items that you won’t see all the other boys on the playground wearing.

The Frantic Woman’s Guide to Feeding Family and Friends (Fireside Book Review)
October 15, 2006
This week, I read a book that was written just for me! Hard to believe, but true. I’m calling this a Fireside Book Review, but this is not a work of fiction. This book is what I call self-help for kitchen-challenged SharpMoms like me!
I’m not exactly a wiz in the kitchen. I recognize this and I want help–I’m just never sure where to get it. Well, today I got it. While half watching my son run around in his Little Gym class, I completed Frantic Woman’s Guide to Feeding Family and Friends, by Mary Jo Rulnick. The book provides shopping lists, recipes and tips for every dinner of the year, as well as my favorite section, Prep Work, which includes a Kitchen Survival chapter. It’s full of organizational tips, must-have kitchen gear, emergency substitutions (i.e. no mayo, use sour cream, yogurt or cottage cheese), weight and measurement charts and much more. It really is the only cookbook I need! Read more
