Star Mama: Is Eva Longeria wearing a Maternity Top? Is There A Bun in the Oven?

 There’s been a whole lot of speculation in gossip land (and on our own Famecrawler) that Desperate Housewives hottie Eva Longoria might have a bun in the over, or maybe she just ate a really big lunch.

Family twee

Comic Book Fans, Start Your Appetites

When I got married (the first time... ahem), we received endless items from Crate and Barrel. And don't get me wrong, it's all very useful stuff, but... well... plain. Boring. So color me surprised to see that C&B's younger, hipper sibling, CB2, has spawned a trio of comic book plates that make my h... (original story)

Eat My Chalk Dust

We've been major evangelists for room decor-by-decal from the beginning. Just search our site for "decal." There's lots. In part because we know that tastes change faster than you can say ooh, look at that nail hole in the wall, and in part because we're just fickle. But we particularly like this ne...

Stains happen. Wear them well. That’s the slogan for Progeny’s new line of t-shirts called “My Dirty Birdie”.

A Little Love for Fauna

 I've written about Fauna before, but fall and back-to-school shopping seems a natural time to get reacquainted with Fauna's many animal prints.
