Was just at a fabulous fair for kiddos this weekend, and meet the fine people of Keedo, hands down one of the coolest clothing stores for kids ... ever! Love, love, love their pieces, all of which are manufactured in South Africa for our little world citizens everywhere. While their clothes are perhaps...

Okay, I confess. I read many, many magazines that do the side-by-side photo comparisons of celebs both wearing the same dress/ensemble. So I'm reading one such periodical ( US Weekly , the February 18th issue) this morning, and voila! The lovely Lauren Conrad apparently has taste similar to mine...

I cannot tell a lie – I’ve never really been one to bike to work. I know it’s environmentally brilliant, and technically I suppose I could , but the idea of being even a little sweaty or windblown when I walk through the door every morning pretty much put me off the idea.

Those of us with tiny tots can attest to the fact that when gifts are given, the wrapping is rapture-inducing. How many of us in retrospect have realized the packaging was the preferred present?

Stockings typically adorn the lower extremities; but this year, my stocking (hung by the chimney with care, I might add) was filled with sugar plums for embellishing my upper body...specifically, my hands! Ever since my college years, when I roomed with a dear friend who earned her spending money via...

The Jeopardy-style question: How much would it actually cost in the year 2007 to bestow the traditional "12 Days of Christmas" gifts? (Which if Mai and Ringo's advent calendars are to be trusted, those twelve days start tout de suite...) Each year, a group called the PNC does their annual...

...and simultaneously delight in a delicious meal, a glass of wine and the rustically elegant (not an oxymoron here) atmosphere -- and as we proved, do it all with infant twins in tow. Perched a mere 20 feet from the Grand Canyon's south rim is the Charles Whittlesey designed lodge, El Tovar. Rich...

Since Isabelle has kicked off with alliteration, far be it from me to not join in! Truly, we four have had such great fun composing our "Dish" and making our "Mama Picks," it only seems right that at long last we are now maximizing the internet's inherent immediacy (alliteration...
