Actually, not so much. I did not find this a "fun and kitschy way to laugh and reflect on gender differences". Perhaps it is because I am finishing up a graduate level Education class on Diversit...
Lance, I don't know if you'll be reading these comments, but incredibly I was just thinking of you yesterday. I was thinking of the way you said "Hopkins Inn" and of an insane photo shoot we worke...
The editing and gatekeeping I do are the key things that keep our (very small) space from getting overwhelmed. We don't need and can't have everything in the world and our kid knows that, too. Ki...
This is a wee bit nitpicky, but I do mean it to add value: Rebecca's last name has two s's. In case anyone goes looking for her without clicking through the link, that could be important.
Our kitchen is 9'x9' which seems like it should be fine, but it was so poorly laid out by the developer that turned our building co-op. The space includes a closet for the stacking washer/dryer an...
We use a folding step stool with two steps. My kid can pull it out of its slot, but it's too heavy for him to set it up. I'm honestly a little worried about the day that he's able to set it all u...
I went to my local hardware store to buy a specific light pink paint and decided to check the mistints just in case. Turns out there was a very, very similar pink for $10 for the gallon. I absolu...
We got a twin size bed for our kid when he was just under 2. We got a platform bed with a natural cotton futon-style mattress, both from White Lotus (whitelotus.net). It's a low-key style and B j...
Yes, these are adorable, but there is no way those bamboo pieces can do their intended job. The tines of the fork are squared off and the spoon is so flat and shallow I can't imagine that it can p...
I went in Prospect Heights in Brooklyn at 1:15 and I was in and out. My husband and I had gone at 10 and the line was out the door and around the block and then so long we couldn't see the end. W...
My husband and I live in a one-bedroom co-op with our two year old in Brooklyn. We tried sleeping with the kid in bed, but found that not one of us slept well. Moving B to his crib and then to hi...
Yeah, I'm with click212. I appreciate the spirit in which that statement was made, but as a Brooklynite for more than ten years, the notion that Manhattan is the whole city makes me itchy.
When I need to do a bunch of things in a short period, I make myself stop and think through all the tasks and really figure out the best order to do them in. Otherwise I run around like a chicken ...
How funny. I was just thinking about my kid's (and mine and my husband's) costume and how I was happy it is low-impact, although it has been a bit of work. Little guy MUST be Thomas the Tank Engi...
We're re-doing our kitchen - cabinets and countertops and a new refrigerator. I've been working on the research and planning for a year and really figuring out how to do it for nine months. We th...
The list is kind of funny. I live in Brooklyn (Prospect Heights, next to Park Slope) and while I have heard some of these names at the playground, many are news to me. What is personally funny is...

I'd suggest checking out the pictures of how Lisa Mahar (owner of Kid O) organized and arranged art supplies for her kids, linked here:
