Sewn Natural: handmade girls dresses that can clear away the May showers
I've always loved peppering my daughters' wardrobes with just a few special handmade pieces from indie artists, from Courtney Chu to Ses Petites Mains and Baby Bean. Not only do they freshen up an otherwise ordinary wardrobe of leggings, tunics and tees, I find they are constructed amazingly well. When my two girls are done with them, Kristen's younger daughters get a care package!

Wooden bowls + color equals fabulousness
I have a special place in my heart for wooden bowls. My Eastern European grandmother used to make these beautiful and elaborate green salads and serve them to us in small wooden bowls, so I've been looking for bowls that remind me of my sweet Bubbie ever since...to no avail. Until now.
Why I didn't think to look to Etsy is beyond me.

Jewelry perfect for Bat Mitzvah gifts and other special occasions (And no zillion dollar price tags, promise)
Twenty years after my own Bat Mitzvah, the world now caters to the preteen universe in ways it never did. Still, finding the right gift for a young adult's special occasion can be tricky in a market that usually consists of accessories that are overly mature, overly expensive, or just...uh, not very nice.
There are some companies out there that do get it right though, and Rucakids is one of them.

Yes, nursing clothes can be fashionable
I'm hoping to nurse this baby of mine after it arrives in the fall. So I am mighty pleased to see that nursing attire has come a long way since the last time I wore it (five years ago). No more zip-up hoodies for me, that's for sure.
