Stamp Out Hunger is the nation’s largest single-day food drive… and I just now found out about it. Seems like a pretty easy way to donate food to local food banks. All you have to do is put a bag of non-perishables by your mailbox on May 9th and the post office will deliver them. Hmm… why not? I can’t believe this event is in its 15th year… what a great idea! Why have I not heard of it sooner? Go here to learn more.

Mother’s Day is coming up quick! Still haven’t gotten her anything? Do something good for the planet by purchasing a beautiful e-card from Charity: Water. Just one $20 e-card can give one person clean water for the next 20 years. She’ll also be able to choose the country where the money is used and learn more about their work. Giving flowers is great. Giving life is better. What mom could ask for more? Get your card now at charitywater.org/mothersday

In honor of my soon-to-be-born nephew, I present Baby’s First Tattoo—A Memory Book for Modern Parents. While I am by no means a “baby person,” this book by Jim Mullen cracked me up so much that I had to get it for the baby shower. This is not your typical “Baby’s-First” book, and contains often forgetten precious moments such as Baby’s First Projectile Vomit, Baby’s First Tantrum in a Crowded Grocery Store, and Baby’s 10,000th Dirty Diaper. The illustrations by Barry Blitt are just as humerous as the writing… Buy it for the next baby shower you have to attend here. And stay tuned for my upcoming post on The Top Ten Annoying Toys That I Can’t Wait To Buy For My Brother’s Child.

Our friend Thomas Lynch is an amazing illustrator! His work is completely out of this world… pardon my cliche. Apart from being extremely talented, I hear he’s been a bit sleep deprived lately. Check out more of his stuff here
