  • Pick of the Day - The Submarines Surface

    Update: See the Submarines interview on ABCNEWs.
    You really need to go and BUY the album.

    MommyKnows good music when she hears it.


  • Pick of Day - Love This Planet

    Love This Planet reusable shopping bag.

    A sturdy, light weight, reusable bag that makes going green a little hipper. Even better, every bag purchased means a donation will go to The Green Ambassadors, a high school eco-ed program.

    Each Bag comes with a hangtag that explains just some of the issues facing the environment today.

    I am loving this *spoon-fork-knife* combo from Light My Fire! Perfect for picnics, hiking and school lunches. My house needs a case of *Sporks*. Stylish, environmentally friendly and smart ... sounds just like me.
