By Tim Williams I know this blog isn’t for promoting things but a good friend recently gave me a gift that I can’t stop thanking him for and I thought I might hip you to it. The Sly & The Family Stone 4-CD box set, Higher, released last month is one of the most lovingly put together music packages I’ve ever heard and seen. I know [...]

Editor’s Note: Each week or so, a member of the SPPR team submits a short blog about a timely subject. Most of the time, the subject is picked out by the team during a staff meeting or in the case of this blog, by the writer himself without the editor knowing.

By Julie Siegel In January of this year, my husband and I welcomed Oliver into the world. Having a child definitely changes a lot of things, and it also gives you the opportunity to re-live your own childhood, and see things through the perspective of a mini-human.

By Melinda Giordano Once, when I was working in advertising (and there was no resemblance to Mad Men, unfortunately, save for the stray vodka bottle left in the conference room) I was placed in charge of putting together a birthday party.
