Oh, Just Print the Damn Photos Already
Switching to a digital camera was supposed to mean no more shoeboxes of curling, dusty photos in the closet….
Independence From Pink
As anyone familiar with New York knows, tonight the FDR drive will be lined with junior firework watchers wearing–what else–black. It’s not that they don’t love America in the big city; it’s just that red white and blue screams Wayward Tourist Lost on the Way to Madame Tussaud’s.
I’m This Many Years Old
It’s birthday time here at Cool Mom Picks–it just so happens that our girls (Liz and mine) will be…
So That’s What Happened to Grandpa’s Underwood

Summer travel season is in full swing, which means it’s time to drown out the "she’s touching me!" cries from the back of the car with some fresh, fun music.
