What started as a grassroots labor of love from publishers Kristen Chase and Liz Gumbinner in 2006 has grown into one of the hottest gear, style, and design sites on the web for parents. And a lot of non-parents too.
Kristen and Liz are often featured in national and local media discussing parenting trends, gift ideas, tech and internet safety, mom-run businesses, and online shopping. Frequent broadcast appearances include The TODAY Show, CBS's The Early Show, The Martha Stewart Show, GMA Live!, ABC News Now, CNN, Headline News, CBS Atlanta, Fox 5 NY, NY1, and shaky appearances on smartphone cams commandeered by their children. They've also curated sales, events, and gift guides for brands like Martha Stewart, Lucky Magazine, Fab.com, Gilt Group, Ideeli, Babycenter, New York Family, and Time Out/Kids. Source

Does your underwear give you everything you need?
There are certain wardrobe basics we expect to work hard without asking for much attention. Underwear is definitely one of them.

For busy families, performance rugs are particularly worth a look.
