Our love of Minted goes way back to their inception. A card shop that's all about supporting indie artists? Right up our alley. Of course their roster of artists is so talented, it was only a matter of time before customers started askin…
I've known Jennifer Gilbert a long time. Long before she was an author. Long before she was a high-powered party planner to the stars. Long before she was a mom. And long before she was a Real Housewife of NYC--the "nice" one who wasn't …
Well lookie here at what Gap is doing these days: taking a page from the Target Shops, West Elm's indie artist selections, and other mainstream retailer partnerships with the little guys. Because starting today, Gap has joined forces wit…
I've always traveled with a camisole just in case ...to me, it's one of those staples that you never know when you'll need. Like under a white tee that's a little sheerer than you realized. Or to tuck into your jeans under a top when uh.…
What's that old adage about how spring is coming, and a young girl's thoughts turn to mermaids? Oh right, that's not an adage. Still, my girls seem to be extra interested in them these days, and I'm happy to see so many cropping up that …
A few years back I discovered the lovely, 100% natural beauty and home products from Hellomellow and remain a fan. The products have evolved a bit since then with some pretty new packaging, new scents, and even better, some awesome gift …
I'm a bit of a journal and notepad hoarder, because as a writer, I believe you can never have too many, in too many places. Still, you don't have to be a writer to know the joys of a pretty notepad, and these ones I just found are decide…
It's exciting for us when our favorite design bloggers become new moms (or aunts!) themselves. Because that means more cool products, design, clothing and gorgeous inspiration for parents everywhere. Here, 4 phenomenal design blogs that …
If you looked in my kids' closet, you'd find more Tea clothes than pretty much anything else. (Besides my t-shirts that they steal and call "nightgowns.") Since the day I first got a Tea outfit for my baby shower, I fell in love with dur…
Discovering the Paper Statement Etsy shop was like looking at your own perceived craftiness in the mirror and laughing at it. I am absolutely blown away by the things true artists can do out of paper and cardboard. The first thing that c…
One of my literary heroes has always been Anna Quindlen . She's not only an amazing columnist, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, hard working mom, and now incredible author, she's an all-around very cool, very inspiring woman. Next Tues…
One of our favorite kinds of Mother's Day gifts to recommend are those that give back, because we hardly know a mother among us who isn't committed to making the entire world a better place for our babies. Now there's a new one, offering…
This year, I thought one of the more inspired picks in our Baby Shower Gift guide was the Keurig coffee maker. I figure for those moms who thrive on caffeine (or will, once they start to accept their new sleep patterns, or lack thereof),…
While we've had a whole lot of ideas for Easter treats lately, it's not always as easy to find great Passover treats in the Parve aisle. If you're over the macaroons and those fruit slice candies that taste nothing like fruit, here's a w…
I am not a crochet master (or even a crochet apprentice), but if I were, I would totally be buying the PDF so I could make an adorable amigurumi bunny like this one. So for all you crafty mamas, check out the amigurumi bunny crochet patt…
Spring just makes me want to get out. Also redecorate. Which is hard to do if I'm always out. But now there's this lovely bit of art that kind of bridges both needs for me. This "Off to See the World" embroidery hoop art from the UK's Th…
With so many kids having rediscovered Muppet Mania with the release of the new Muppet Movie this past year, it's not surprising that everyone's favorite Henson creations are making a big pop culture comeback. Our latest discovery--Michal…
So I'm clicking around the Hanna Andersson webshop, just seeing what's what for spring, because I love how durable their clothes are, especially if you've got multiple kids and are familiar with the phrase " hand-me-down. " But hey! As i…
In our family we have a tradition we like to think of as Peaster--an Easter, Passover hybrid that acknowledges all the traditions of the diverse, wonderful people in our family. The one thing that holds the whole thing together? Eggs. Wh…
When the airport gift shop coloring book choices "for girls" range from princesses to uh, princesses (and maybe the occasional princess) I'm reminded of how easily 21st century gender stereotypes are reinforced pretty much everywhere we …
If you're a Sesame Street fan, like the entire world happens to be, it's kind of hard to resist a modern, deconstructed graphic interpretation of Ernie and Bert for your kids' walls. Artist Tom Pastrano reinvents everyone's favorite Sesa…
So I'm a sucker for everything handmade with a nerd-chic pop culture reference built in. It's like three of my favorite things all in one glorious, slightly weird package. And the handmade finger puppets from Abbey Christine fit the bill…
I know I am not the only one who has looked at those photos of professionally reorganized closets and wept with envy. I am pathetic in the organization department, and my closets are the worst example of it all. In fact, they're less clo…
