I'm known around my house as a bit of a lip balm junkie. Every cupboard, pocket and purse has at least one tube or pot of the stuff stashed in it somewhere. So when it came time for volunteers to test the highly lauded RMS Beauty line fo…
I'd always kind of held the opinion that if I'd seen one wall decal, I'd seen them all. That is, until Pop & Lolli wall decals came my way. And then I pretty much decided that I didn't need to see any others. Ever again. These gorgeous (…
Okay, okay, we know you don't really need to hear about another flash sale site in this day of a hundred and one " great deal " emails coming into your inbox each morning. But how about one more? One perfectly-suited-to-cool-moms-with-co…

I do believe I have just discovered the umbrella stroller to end all umbrella strollers. All hail the Cybex Onyx. First, let me say, the Cybex Onyx is a high-end umbrella stroller. Which means it's not a $25, throw-in-the-trunk, departme…
I am getting ready to start feeding my baby solids next month. With my daughter, I thought making my own food would be way too much work. Now, I have the time and would love to make my own food for my son. The problem is I have no idea w…
It's that time for me again. Time to stop being baby's sole source of nourishment and start making some food for him the other old-fashioned way. (Aside: I'm so lazy. One reason I cherish the first six months of my kids' lives is because…
I've got to be honest, the Snooze Shade is the kind of product I dream of being able to use more. Because, well, my babies don't generally start sleeping in the first place. But for anyone with a baby who actually does sleep, the Snooze …
My son has been totally into making pop-ups this week. Little paper springs, rainbows and jack-in-the-boxes are all over our kitchen table as I type this. (And a million tiny scraps of paper are still on the kitchen floor.) And now, your…
My baby has reached the flip-over-at-every-opportunity stage. Which means two seconds after we place him on his back on his playmat, he's rolled off the mat and is face down on the bare floor. And then two seconds after that I'm freaking…
I've always had a soft spot for fabric sewn onto paper. Strange thing to have a soft spot for, yes. But it's just so pretty! Take the beautiful custom Welcome New Baby custom prints from etsy shop, cozyblue, for example. A tiny fabric bu…
I've been a fan of the latest and greatest baby gear for a long time. But now I think I can say I've seen it all because I've just opened up a package of Buggy Socks . They are exactly as the name describes: Cotton socks. For your umbrel…

Do you love nice, crisp boxes of brand new art supplies as much as I do? And do your kids somehow manage to rip those nice, crisp boxes within about eleven minutes of opening them as often as mine do? Well, take a look at this adorable t…
I don't care if Toronto hasn't quite gotten the spring memo yet-- I'm already dreaming about park visits and picnic lunches. And when I spotted this adorable insulated picnic lunch bag at ModCloth, I fell in love. And I knew right away t…
The Movement edition stroller, in case the name isn't clear enough, is all about getting moms moving and keeping babies comfortable, making it easier to be active with baby, no matter what the weather. (Because we all know how a wet, unc…
You know what I've always wondered about Easter baskets? Where people store them every other day of the year. Because if there's one thing that's not exactly storage-friendly, it's a big, round basket with a gigantic handle on top. This …
Unless I've got a friend who isn't telling me something, I have no need for baby shower invitations any time soon. I'm not hosting one--that I know of. But when the time comes, I'm so excited to use one of the new baby shower invitations…
A year ago, I never would have thought I'd be excited about weekly meal planning. I was far too cool and spontaneous to be one of those people who actually planned what dinner we would be eating a day in advance. Please. What a silly mam…
Ever since I can remember, my family has used cloth instead of paper , to wrap gifts. My mom was ahead of her time, I tell you, because now it's all the rage. And for good reason, really. Or should I say good reasons? Cloth is beautiful.…
A few years ago I got really ambitious and made birthday crowns for my two children. Flash forward a bit and I've now got a third child and still only two birthday crowns. Any guesses where this is going? Yeah. I'm kind of thinking these…
