Product Review: BabyLegs Legwarmers!
Waaaaayyyyy back in the summertime, I got an email from BabyLegs inviting me to review their product. Ha, I thought! Fools! I already love BabyLegs, so this’ll be easy. No problem. Except that it was summertime, and while summer in … Continue reading
Please, Yell at My Kid.
A few weeks ago, on Thanksgiving day, I heard my sister-in-law say, “No, Eliza! You’ll pinch your fingers!” from the other room. My mama instinct kicked in–heydon’tyellatmykid was the first thought–and the second was, Oh, good. I wasn’t there, but … Continue reading

DIY Wine Rack II: Taller, Thinner, Less Cardboard
My second blog, way back, was about our custom-built combo bar, cookbook shelf, and wine rack. (Cocktail Hour, January 15, 2009) The wine rack itself was made of stacked cardboard tubing; it worked well, but didn’t fit bigger Pinot Noir … Continue reading
