  • Warm the bottle and heat the food

    The Bib Expresso lets you prepare a bottle in 90 seconds with one hand. “It doesn’t get easier than this,” maker Beaba says. The 3-in-1 Baby Bottle & Food Warmer also warms bottles (pre-mixed or breast milk), warms jarred food, and sanitizes bottles with a “unique self-cleaning option to ensure a healthy baby.” It’s $150…

  • On Name Sniping

    Hi Jennifer,   My husband and I are expecting our first child in a few weeks and we do not know if we are having a boy or girl.  We have been set on a boy’s name for more than two years, and it is actually my great-grandfather’s name, and I love it.   My husband’s distant…

  • Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein

    Last year, I was volunteering in my daughter’s first grade class when a little boy told me a knock-knock joke. Knock knock! Who’s there? Interrupting Cow! Interrupting Cow, wh– MOOOOOOOO! This was cute  — the first 32 times, at least — so when I saw Interrupting Chicken on the shelf at our library, I thought…
