It's amazing how far baby gear has come since I had my first daughter just under five years ago. Since her car seat was the only place she'd nap, the poor girl sat for hours in an uncomfortable, unpadded, three-point harness seat. Grante…
Anyone with a kid over about 18 months knows that cupcakes are essentially crack for children. I could get my daughters to clean every room in the house with a toothbrush if they knew there were a cupcake in it for them at some point. (A…
So it's officially June (how did that happen?) and of course my kids do not yet have sandals. Poking around the web this weekend, I saw these Siaomimi children's sandals online at Popodona and I think I'm in love. They remind me of the k…
I can't believe how far the world of nursery and kids' room decor has come even since I was first waddling through the baby mega-store, wondering if there were really that many people interested in decorating their nurseries with Winnie …
I just opened the baby onesies that came in from the mail from Angel Dear and suddenly I found I had a little catch in my throat. Something about the teeny teeny little size and that tag reading newborn just made me all sentimental for t…
Is it too passive aggressive to get my sigOth this notepad on Father's Day? It is? Just a little? Darn. Because it's awesome. - Liz Find the I Will Do One Thing Today notepad and other cynical stationery at Pretty Bitter .
Anyone with a baby knows the brilliance that is duct tape. No! I kid! Duct tape is only for older children and only when they're very very loud. But for real, I do love duct tape and its 1001 uses and obviously I'm not alone. So it was o…

My six-month old is at a point where she could use a little something on her feet other than socks, but doesn't yet have a need for heartier leather (or fake leather) booties. Enter Wombagully Wonders cotton baby booties , handcrafted by…
If you're looking for a graduation gift for the preschooler in your life - or even the high schooler who's not so cool she can't appreciate a sweet children's book - Peep: A Little Book About Taking a Leap gets a big thumbs up from me. M…
When I first discovered Scout Baby organic children's clothes at the Bubble trade show a few years ago, it was still a big deal to find fair trade organic clothes that were so soft and so vibrantly colored. Now a lot has changed in that …
We probably get more reader requests for cute wedding clothes for kids "that aren't, you know...wedding-y" than nearly any other. And now that San Francisco-based Velvet and Tweed has opened their online shop, far more parents can breath…
Call me frugal, or cheap, or just a big old party pooper, but there's just no way I can rationalize taking three young kids to the movies these days when all they really do is gorge themselves on popcorn and bounce around in the big seat…
I must say, despite the CPSA I still remain most confident by mass produced toys when they're made in Europe. The standards are consistently high, and the products seem made to last more than one kid. Or more than one month as the case o…
The beautiful new collection of modern cards, announcements and invitations from Paper Culture have me as excited as any note cards we've seen in a while. And we see a whole lot of note cards so that's saying something. The baby announce…
My daughter has a thing for flip flops these days, probably because she sees me wearing them all the time. So I did a dumb thing and bought a cheap pair of kids' flip flops from a big mall store. I think these mall flip flops are made of…
Waaaay back before I had kids, I could get away with wearing any old cute little swimsuit found at my local boutique. But now the thin layer of spandex accompanied by teeny tiny straps just doesn't cut it anymore, so I often turn to a co…
I reaped so many giggles from If These Boobs Could Talk that I couldn't wait to read Shannon Payette Seip and Adrienne Hedger's follow up book, Momnesia . The title alone was enough to make me nod my head in total agreement. Momnesia fea…

I was totally excited by The Republic of Tea's new Little Citizens' Herb Teas for kids when the concept was first whispered in my ear at the International Fancy Food show last year. And now, just in time for summer, the stuff is actually…
After having a son, I quickly realized that boys tend to get that end of the stick when it comes to decor options . Basically, you're stuck with some variation of planes, trains, or dinosaurs, and that's really about it. If you're lucky,…
Let's be honest, you get to a certain age and concert tees sort of lose their appeal (or should). But if you've got an inner groupie hiding in there somewhere, you are so going to love the Guitar String Bracelet Charity Project from Wear…
We're on tooth number three here and I'm desperate to offer any type of teething relief I can to my poor grouchy baby. At the top of my arsenal of soothers: the Dress Me Up Organic Teething Bonbon found at CMP fave Kai Kids. These mom-ma…
There are children, and then there are The Children Who Have Everything , and ack, I never know what the heck to get them for birthdays and holidays and weekend visits. Since I don't have the money to go bigger (no pony for you, kid) I d…
