This Mother’s Day, I don’t want a nice brunch or a basket of flowers or some construction paper card with a finger paint hand print on it. No. I want the children to go to bed with only one story and a kiss, just like my imaginary children did before I got the real ones.

This is no joke: a Brio breakfast tray. Makes you wonder if it’s intended for kids or grownups. It’s 19 euros which is like, what? $30?

when I came across this sweet little new iBook called “My Daddy” by a local New Jersey dad, I just couldn’t let it go without a mention, especially since we’re drenched in rain and today seems like just the greatest day to curl up with a book and the kids.

The other day we brought one of our kids to a party at Funplex on Route 10 in Hanover, NJ. Funplex is every child’s fantasy — think Chucky Cheese on Steroids.

What would you say if I told you that you could sample a bevy of authentic Spanish Food products from an exclusive importer and distributor, purchase those products if you like, and then shop at an incredibly reasonable Asian Food store? Would I be enticing you further if I told you that you could bring your kids and expose them to these two distinct cultures with only a few minutes distance between them? Would it be the icing on the cake to tell you that you could then feast at a delicious and family friendly Vietnamese restaurant in the same plaza or a Thai one down the street? Well, this is your lucky day.

Let’s face it, the first weeks of life aren’t exactly the most attractive for a baby. But kids’ photographer Ron Holtz has found a way to capture the reason why we just can’t stop gazing at those tiny little creatures, even if they are sort of funny looking.
