    Nursery Light Bulb: SCS Nite-Nite Light BulbWe got a version of this “sleepy baby” lightbulb from Hammacher Schlemmer a while ago — we were ordering other stuff and it was on sale, so I figured, why not throw it in — and we’ve been very happy with it. We have it in the reading lamp closest to my 4.5-year-old’s bed (although it would also work well for babies’ nighttime feedings and diaper changes), and bedtime has been easier since we got it. I’m not sure I’d say the former light energized him, but this one definitely seems to make it easier for him to recognize it’s bedtime. The Hammacher Schlemmer one is still available for $20, but this one is also highly rated and available through Amazon Prime for $20 as well. SCS Nite-Nite Light Bulb

    Pretty much the only thing I can imagine buying for myself at this point (at least, before sales start, ha) is fitness gear — and Amazon has some as part of their big markdowns. This gym tote from LeSportsac looks functional — huge but lightweight! — and while they have it in black at full…

    When we were traveling last week, I saw a mom pulling her kids (ages 2 and 5, I’d guess) through the airport terminal with a foldable wagon. One kid sat in it and one walked beside her, and the wagon was piled high with carry-on luggage. Amazing. I marveled at it — it struck me as much…

    Feeding Tuesday: Everyday Child’s Mug

    Wait a minute: Ceramic, breakable mugs for little kids? I know, it doesn’t sounds like a great idea, but bear with me! The summer my son turned four, I was getting tired of plastic cups of milk and juice always getting tipped over at dinnertime — they’re unbreakable, which is nice, but not heavy enough to withstand accidental…
