Muck It Up
Don’t worry—it’s not the kind of muck you’re thinking it is. This Muck is one of our all-time favourite things actually (alongside raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens of course).
It’s a galvanized steel box with a handy handle, easy to clean and great for so many different things, and you get it at one of our favourite places—Ikea (can’t beat that breakfast special), for $9.99. At about 10 x 11 inches, Muck takes up less than a square foot, but we’re sure you’ll want to share your space with it.

Be Aware
You’ve heard the stats: one in four women. You’re also probably aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month but you might not be aware of some new ways we found to help find a cure. Many mom entrepreneurs are doing their part for the cause and we’re pretty sure you’ll find something for everyone, no matter the type.
Green Baggin’ It
We’re trying really hard to reduce our consumption of plastic shopping bags, we really are. But we found ourselves craving a little more flair on the bag front than some of the standard-issue grocery store options (and we don’t mean in Italian leather). Luckily, we found it.
The Carry All market basket by Reisenthel is perfect for the interminable hauling back and forth from house to car to house to car to house (and so on) of toys, groceries, library books, soccer cleats, sippy cups, water bottles, mail, wet bathing suits…you know what we mean.

Dinner’s on the Table
We were recently inspired (well, blown away really) by a book we read that claimed one simple trick can improve the quality of our family life, our children’s chance of success in the world and our values as a society. And amazingly, it’s really simple too.
According to Miriam Weinstein, author of The Surprising Power of Family Meals, eating an everyday dinner with your family is a way to connect with loved ones and improve many aspects of family life. Recognizing that the pressures of today’s 24/7 world, the complications of single-parent and dual-income family households, extracurricular activities and peer pressure have threatened what used to be a universal ritual, she offers inspirational examples and strategies on how to bring family dinners back to our lives.
