For moms of kids with nut allergies, the mere sight of nuts can induce panic. Some children are so sensitive that they can experience allergic reactions just by getting a kiss from someone who ate nuts or being in too close proximity to nuts.

When I first heard that the author of the Veggie Teens Cookbook was only 14-years-old, I was instantly intrigued. With the support of her parents, she became a vegetarian at age 12 and hasn’t looked back since. I recently had a chance to ask her some questions on how it all started…
Wow, an author at [...]
I love seeing a brand make itself over in a great way. It’s refreshing and rewarding to see a formerly great brand revive itself. That’s the case with the newly made-over Snapple.
When I first discovered Snapple back in the late 80s or early 90s, I was smitten with the logo, flavors, everything. But over the [...]
When I opened up the box from Mattel the other day, I might have gasped. Just a little. I’m not certain. But it’s a strong possibility. It’s been ages since I really held a Barbie. After all, my stepdaughter is nearly 15 and the baby, at just 14 months, is still a little bit away [...]

When it comes to mail-order munchies, I’m a keep-at-arm’s-length kind of girl. It comes from much disappointment because things tend to arrive stale, broken and just downright different than you expect. That’s not to say that all mail-order food items are like this – they’re definitely not and I have a few favorites that I [...]
