Manners for Modern Mothers in the news

We are thrilled to be featured in the most recent issue of Wellesley Weston magazine. Many thanks to author Cheryl Scaparrotta and the magazine staff for the thoughtful profile.

Wishing you all a wonderful Labor Day weekend and we look forward to getting back to the blog in September!

This is what we're talking about!

 Thanks to friend Deirdre for drawing this article to our attention.  It is now official - you can have too much of a good thing, i.e. parenting.  This NY Times opinion piece by Madeline Levine supports our position that sometimes the best thing you can do is get out of your child's way.  And on that note, we will be out of your way and out of the office for the rest of August.  We look forward to catching up in September.

Best,

Friday Frivolity - Cheap and Cheerful Wall Decor

This modern mother is always on the look out for economical ways to spruce up the old abode.  So one can imagine her delight when she stumbled upon the site Cafe Press (sounds like a coffee maker but isn't).  At first glance Cafe Press looks like a site for people who want to put pictures of family reunions on t-shirts and coffee mugs, BUT it also offers a wonderful collection of vintage art posters at reasonable prices.
