A Taste for Popadum
Boy, am I liking this new flowy peasant top trend for kids this season. With any luck it will stick around, while the prematurely provocative belly shirts and tight blingy tees take a permanent hiatus. In hell. As a change-up from the Mexican-style blouses, take a...
Bubalah!
My grandmother used to call me Bubalah, and so I was probably predisposed to find the Bholu Bubalah Critters utterly charming on name alone. I mean, come on — of all the Yiddish endearments my grandmother used, Bubalah is probably the most wonderful of all....
My first shades, hold the gratuitous use of bling
Sunglasses are at the top of my list of fun kids’ accessories – it’s a riot to watch my three year-old push her sunglasses on top of her head "just like Mommy." But fashion aside, sunglasses on kids are really about protection and My First...

Use Your Head, Save the Earth (Or At Least Your Baby’s Head)
I’m trying to be a more environmentally-friendly mom when I can, and fortunately I’ve found a way to conserve while indulging my shopping habit. The handmade knot hats at the bluemchen etsy shop are made from colorful pre-loved (or recycled, if you prefer)...
Baby Zen Guarantees No More Screams…Er, Tears.
My babies aren’t babies anymore, but that doesn’t stop them from acting like babies on occasion. In particular, my son is prone to shrieking like a lamb at the slaughter if a single molecule of shampoo or conditioner hits his precious eyeballs while...
Peekaboo Just Got A Little More Challenging
My almost one year-old’s favorite game is easily "Where’s Sage? There she is!" which is played as she pulls a blanket up and down over her face.Um, I mean chess. Her favorite game is chess. But for the rest of you with average children who enjoy...
Biodegradable disposable diapers? It can be done.
Let’s face it, greener isn’t always easier. I think we all want to be the best eco-moms we can, but for me there was no way I was venturing into the world of cloth diapering. My guilt has just been assuaged however with a fantastic find: Nature Babycare...
The Best Mother’s Day Gift of All Time: Time Itself
