Invisibelt – Putting an end to plumber’s butt for life
Invisibelt is basically an invisible belt that every fashionista seems to be buzzing about these days. Yes, it’s invisible in that magic Wonderwoman airplane sort of a way because it’s clear plastic, but also invisible in that it’s designed to lie...
Diaper bags get a makeover with oilcloth, believe it or not
I’ve come across enough leaky bottles, squished tubes of diaper cream and spilled snacks to realize that the stuff of mothering should be strong enough to be hosed off in the backyard. Michele Sommer and Yvette Yelardy of Boston-area MY Oilcloth understand this...
You know what Bugaboos really need? A way to cost even more.
Sure we all marveled at the Bugaboo strollers (and their price tags) when they first came out. They were the ergonomic and stylish answer to every chic mom’s prayers. However some dads needed a little…more.Well, Iacono Designs, brains behind the $2500...
Raising a glass to glass baby bottles
I’m actually glad that I pitched all of the bottles I used for my first two kids and had to buy new ones for surprise baby #3. Because with all the recent news about plastics leaching BPA and who knows what chemicals into the milk, I’ve gotten a lot...
See Dick. See Dick wipe up puke.
I’m a sucker for vintage fabrics, even when I know they’re going to be used to sop up body fluids that you could never have imagined you’d spend quite so much time with back in your prepartum days. That’s why I’m loving the handmade Dick...
Diaper bag organization gets a fashion forward facelift
Long before Cool Mom Picks, I was a big fan of diaper bags that made a statement beyond “I wipe poopy butts all day long.” But after treating myself to something pretty, I soon discovered pretty didn’t necessarily keep me any more organized....
Who needs a stroller when you’ve got a Cruizer?
With each successive child, it gets progressively more difficult to haul around my brood. I started with one of those gargantuan travel systems that’s more trouble than it’s worth. Then I moved on to the stroller frame that accommodates the infant carrier....
Bohemian Rhapsody
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 impress us with their...
Modern moms like plush baby blankets too
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 allergic...
Buttoned-up baby gifts
As far as I’m concerned, the greatest gifts are the ones that you’d feel far too frivolous buying for yourself, but are unexpectedly practical. That theory goes double for new baby gifts. That’s why the Car Seat Cardigan from Pomegranate Babies...
Sleep sacks with style
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 Sac, a collection of modern...
