I love the convenience of a nursing shirt but I hate that they scream "nursing shirt" when I'm not actually nursing my baby. So if there's a top that will actually leave people guessing, it's the amazing kimono nursing top from Isabella …
Is there any better time to reintroduce the joys of tooth-brushing to your kids than Halloween? I'm going to say no. Which gives me the perfect segueway to introduce all of you to the joys of Recycline's Preserve toothbrush . The handle …
When my girls hit shoe sizes in the double digits, I was dismayed at how grown up some of the styles were. Heels for a preschooler? Eek. Thankfully, the new line of fall shoes by Eleven , the big brother/sister line of CMP fave See Kai R…
This past weekend, no one was going to mistake my son for the MVP of his soccer team but he did try his best. It was the perfect occasion for one of the playing card-sized notes from Kiddo Kards: One that said Especially for you on the f…
Baby bedding has come a long way, even since having my son just under two years ago. And what's amazing to me is that designers, like Catherine Fitzsimmons of Rikshaw Design , formerly of Pottery Barn and Ralph Lauren, are still able to …
We launched our very first Safer Toy Guide last October during the "Year of the Recall" (remember that?) but just because we haven't been overwhelmed with toy recalls yet this year, doesn't mean parents don't want safer toys for their ki…
I've never quite understood why the plushest baby blankets have to be made out of the most unnatural of materials (hello polyester!). Apparently, mom Tamre Sutphen and owner of Shi Shu Style didn't get it either, and when her son had an …
One thing we haven't seen a whole lot of for some reason is cool kids wallpaper. And then we discovered Rollout , a creative design studio in Canada, which is doing some truly dandy things with wallcoverings. Their artists series feature…
So now I totally know what I'll be handing out along with the candy on Friday. Presenting the totally disgusting--and I mean that in the best possible way-- Scabs Bandages . Created by a friend of a friend, I'm so glad she turned me onto…
With my roly-poly sleeping toddler, sleep sacks are most definitely my friend, except they either tend to be completely dull or made of materials that I would never buy as a blanket. Go figure. That is clearly not the case with the CoZi …
When I think of recycled baubles, pop top pins and earrings made of paper clips spring to mind. But in the case of Metal Pointus jewelry from Parisian artist (and father of nine!) Bernard Bouhnik, recycled pewter, copper and silver are r…
I'm all for taking my daughters with me to the poll on election day and introducing them to the cornerstone of our democracy. Besides, in New York, we've still got the old skool voting booths, and there's no way my three-year old would m…
The Indigenous Harvest Dress is definitely a misleading name. It sounds like something you'd see in in a museum gift shop, but in reality, it's a fantastic fall/winter wardrobe staple for little girls who are indigenous to pretty much an…
Car seat covers serve three excellent purposes: They make older seats look new, they cover the ugly fabrics, and they wash up more easily than the existing covers which don't actually wash at all. Only problem is, some of the fabrics are…
With a son who is obsessed with all things that go, it's not a surprise that his favorite shirts are covered in adorable little planes, trains, and automobiles. And now, a new addition: The ultimate motorcycle shirt from our good friends…
Yes, there's the scent of their yummy heads and soft skin, but babies do a lot of stinky things. But using a big fake room scent machine just doesn't seem like the healthiest choice, nor does spraying a ton of chemicals into the air. If …
When I first saw the gorgeous Harper Stroller blanket by Serena & Lily, I knew it'd be the perfect accessory for any pink-cheeked baby girl. Fluffy and soft on one side, silky smooth on the other, it almost makes me wish I had a newborn …
Holy cow people, do you have some amazing stories. It was tough trying to pick just three winners of the $5000 tech makeover from Intel, but pick we did. Without further ado (because we know you're dying to know)... the winners . Congrat…
Back when I was shopping for nursery furniture, eco-friendly meant the crib wasn't painted with lead-based paint. Well looky looky how much has changed in a relatively short period of time. Today, cribs with "a conscience" are becoming m…
I hate hiking up my shirt to breastfeed my baby almost as much as I loathe the nursing tees with the overhanging half shirt, no matter how convenient and discreet they might be. But that all changed when I was introduced to Momzelle Orga…
As my son marches out of toddlerhood, I find myself swooning over clothes that bridge the gap between baby and big boy. Take this pint-sized black and white bowler shirt by LilaFrances , just one of the adorable options at the shop. This…
Wha-at? Kids pajamas that are cute but not cutesie? Why yes indeedy. They, along with earthy onesies, tees, and really wearable little dresses round out the collection of ?l?phant Couture , a label so new it's still got that new e-boutiq…
Considering my son spent the first eight months of his life in a sling, there's no doubt my new daughter will be enjoying the same comforts. But now that I'm chasing after two other ones, I'm looking at options that give me a bit more mo…
Considering I'm on my third child, I'm probably not the strongest candidate for a stroller liner. But when I got my hands on the beautifully crafted ones from BooYah Baby --funny name, cute stuff--I had one of those defining "how did I e…
