Every new mother has experienced the “germy” moment. That horror story where a complete stranger rubs, pats and touches your newborn in a grocery store, mall or other public venue. In our state of sheer panic we can never find the right words to say…HANDS OFF! That is until the creation of Touchy Tags. These adorable tags hung with fashionable ribbon are just the perfect way to remind well meaning strangers they can look but shouldn’t touch.
I don’t know about you, but once the holidays are officially over I move on pretty quickly. Decorations come down, I focus on getting my house clean and organized, and I fill it with fresh flowers….it helps me count down the weeks until Spring! (seeing as though I live in Chicago…that could be a while!)…
Last time I sifted through my childhood art projects there were no shortage of my hand prints crafted into turkeys. "Mom, why did you save all these?" My mother replied, "Every year your hands were a little bigger. Why wouldn't I save them?" I appreciated her sentiment, but really, wasn't there some other creature that could be made from my growing digits? If only Jennifer Thomas would have been there. When Jennifer's son Dryden was born she found herself stamping his little fingers and toes on everything she could find! She saw his little prints as clouds moving through the sky, each was unique and looked like a new object (beyond November poultry products). Her new artwork quickly grew in popularity and became what we know today as Piggies & Paws. Piggies & Paws offers parties throughout the United States with independent licensed P&P artists. The licensed artist will arrive at the host's home with all materials needed, including samples of over 200 designs. Because each is crafted to your child's print, the final product is shipped 6-8 weeks later on high quality acid free paper.

Just when you thought there would never be a creative solution to your child’s artwork overload or ever growing collection of clothes, we found The Great Remember. Brooklyn-based artist, Lisa Waltuch, the brainchild behind the concept, creates commemorative pieces of original artwork using your child’s art projects or old clothing.
Thank goodness we decided a long time ago that jeans weren't just for boys. When paired with the right accessories or favorite top, a lot of us agree that when wearing jeans we feel our most feminine. Here are some fearless home nursery designers who said "blue isn't just for the boys." This bright blue nursery will comfortably sleep any girl or boy. Soft personal touches, like baby's first tutu were added to make the room subtly gender specific. Ava's blue nursery plays with both traditional colors, pink and blue! This nesting doll nursery was inspired by the classic egg-shaped toys. The colors for this little girl's room were kept neutral with liberal pops of baby blue. Do you have blue in your daughter's nursery? Share your designs with us by uploading to our Project Gallery. You never know when you may see your work in our weekly gallery round up!

I LOVE the holidays, and absolutely everything about this time of year. That said, I’ve never been great at “doing” the holidays. I’m the Mom who forgets to bring a gift to the party because I was too busy blow drying my kid’s outfits which I forgot I needed washing. I’m the one who has huge plans for a home that smells like yummy home baked treats, but for some reason, I always find myself making a last minute Trader Joe’s run.
