This week, I reread E. M. Forster’s A Room With a View, and then watched the 1985 Merchant Ivory film adaptation (available on Netflix as a direct download) — both for probably the 100th time. Totally worth two hours — the book and the film.

At TLC’s Parentables, I wrote about what to carry on when you travel with kids. Because you never know who might throw up on you during the flight.

How awesome are these vintage upcycled suitcases? Totally awesome.

Have you seen “Fantastic Mr. Fox?” I want one of these dolls.

I love this superhero birthday party. Too bad my kids are over their superhero phase.

This makes me want to redecorate the office. Again. (Or maybe the game room. Hmm.)

Top five tinted moisturizers. I mix my own, but these are so much easier.

Shaving tips. For you, not him. Of course.
