A few days ago I posted about my slight obsession with segregating art by theme in each room of the house. Here's more on that score, this time specifically with kids in mind. Would any of these work in your home? More

Art in the kitchen can be a fun thing to play around with. Creative prints can be adorable. Large art canvases can be surprising. Heck, even collections of favorite items can become art for the kitchen. But if you're looking for something a little tongue-in-cheek and literal to add to the place where you make food, you might be searching for a clear directive to hang on your wall: Eat. More

Of Brooklyn's legions of young artists, many stand out. Dan Bina (pronounced bee-na) is one of them. If you follow his work, he really gets your eyes and brain moving. His work ranges from cool crisp geometric abstract painting to photorealist paintings and culturally laden collages. More

When I was growing up, The Cosby Show was a very big deal. If you didn't watch it on Thursday night, what could you possibly have to talk about on Friday at school?

As we enter the third straight week of rainy weather, my mind envisages what it will be like when my already restless toddler is old enough to catch a serious case of cabin fever. It ain't pretty.
