Baby, it’s cold outside
For a guy who sets the thermostat at a level approaching “sauna,” it baffles me that my husband loves to take the jogging stroller on errands even when the temperature sinks below forty. While he dresses himself properly in layers, he tends to toss a...
Chic diaper bags priced so you can afford the diapers too
Who was the evil mastermind that convinced moms they needed to schlep around gigantic, ugly quilted diaper bags in order to carry baby essentials? Personally I like bags like this Everyday Bag from Christy Studio, which is stylish enough to swap out the diapers for a...
Hooded baby towels that actually do what a hooded baby towel is supposed to do. Shocking.
Hooded towels are pretty much a requisite baby registry purchase, but most of the big shops that moms register with offer the thinnest, scratchiest, least absorbent towels in the world. I know. I’ve been there, as have my poor shivering kids. So you’d...
Cafe Handmade’s virtual craft show: open 24 hours
A few days before Christmas, I decided to visit a large indoor craft show, jam-packed with cool, one-of-a-kind items. I arranged for a sitter to watch the kids, got directions and was ready to go. Then, it snowed. I wish I had known about Cafe Handmade when I was...
Dribble me this
I’ve proclaimed my disdain for bibs so many times that it would only make sense that my third baby would be the drooliest of them all. Seriously, it’s like a tiny river flowing down her chin. So I’m sorry to say that bibs have become a regular...
Restocking the kids’ t-shirt drawer at Red Poppy
Not exactly sure how it’s happening exactly, but my children are apparently growing. No, really. One minute they’ve got a stocked closet of clothes, and the next, I’m like shoot…how come all the t-shirts are coming to their elbows? I think I...
Bathtime with the MD Moms
It took three tries, but I’ve finally got a baby who has enjoyed his bath right from the very start. Although his enthusiasm is such that I practically have to wear a rain slicker while bathing him, it also makes it pretty fun to try out baby bath...![The fairy [quilt] godmother](https://coolmompicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/olivejane.jpg)
The fairy [quilt] godmother
We’re lucky enough to have a great-godmother (is that what they’re called?) who has made a gorgeous quilt for each of our kids. But if you’re not as fortunate as we are, then you can always commission one from Olive Jane Designs.Designer and mom of 4...
Mr. T Shirt (That’s um…Mr. T on a Shirt. Not Mr. T-Shirt)
I pity the fool who gives me a hard time for using the phrase I pity the fool in this review. That said, I pity the fool who does not appreciate the camp genius of this Mr T shirt and onesie. It’s beautifully handmade out of felt and frankly, it looks just like...
Baby leg warmers, for those who can stand covering those delicious chubby thighs
I have really come to appreciate the joys of baby leg warmers lately. In the winter they’re great over tights or to add another layer under the pjs. In the spring and fall they’re just fine on their own instead of tights – and way easier to deal with...
The baby book for parents who live in abject fear of the baby book
The brand new Keepaboo has created the perfect solution for disorganized mothers of three like me– you know, the ones who can’t get it together enough to fill out a whole baby book by hand, but who don’t want to forget the milestones. Or worse, hand...
