It’s the day after trick-or-treating and the kitchen counter is overflowing with candy. It smells good. It looks good. It calls to you at night. How will you rid your house of the temptation? You certainly aren’t going to let the kids eat all of it, so what are you going [...]
I nearly made it. I nearly made it to age 40 without ever having bought an iron. Oh so very close. Long, long ago as a young adult with bigger fish to fry than spending my time ironing, I discovered the magic of steaming clothes … without a steamer. I just put the shower on [...]
Truly the best inventions are born out of need. Someone gets frustrated because there isn’t a better way to do something … and they set about remedying the situation themselves, creating a “Why didn’t I think of that moment?” for the rest of us. Such is the case behind Chrissie Thompson and her [...]
Just Be is a line of shirts that let wearers express their individual perspectives. The phrases are decoratively designed and include “Be Scrapbooking,” “Be Green,” and “Be Punk.” Some shirts are made with organic cotton and water based inks for an earth-friendly twist.
In honor of breast cancer awareness, the company created a line of three [...]
I heard about Sea Bags simply eons ago. No surprise since the company is fast approaching their tenth anniversary. These very eco-friendly, but very chic, bags are made from recycled boat sails.

My six-year-old son is always on the lookout for something new to drink. Whether it be juice, flavored water or milk, he changes drinks as often as he changes clothes (and believe me, that’s a lot, surprisingly enough). So when we heard about R.W. Knudsen Family’s Sensible Sippers, we were on it like white on [...]

The mother of two has since made a full recovery and is a nine-year survivor. Since last year, her company has made the Pink Heel Smoother, as a vehicle for donating profits [...]
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is an illness that has claimed the lives of millions of women, but through research and education, it may not have to anymore. That’s why The Voice of Mom is featuring items with a Think Pink theme — things where a portion of proceeds go towards research [...]
We have movie night a lot at our house. It’s just easier. Cheaper. More comfortable. ‘Course we probably concentrate less on the movie than if we were in the theater, but it’s a trade-off, and with kids, a trade-off I’ll happily make. With frequent movie nights, there is frequent popcorn. Buttered, seasoned, flavored, you name [...]
My six-year-old, over the past few years, has been slowly getting his feet wet in the wide world of sports. He played soccer for five seasons, then took off for two. Now he’s signed up for soccer again, flag football and the Little League applications just came out. Football seems to be a great equalizer [...]
