Forget Duckies, Have the Only Baby With a Sea Urchin On Her Chest
One of our fave T-shirt discoveries last year were the bold alphabet toddler tees from BioME5 featuring alligators, bears and camels that actually look like alligators, bears and camels. And not some lame cartoon rendition. Seriously, I’m a little scared of the...
Foot Fungus: The Good Kind
We realize that baby booties are a frivolous purchase for a cute little lump who doesn’t do much more than poop and sleep (or if you’re my kids, not sleep). So that’s why you don’t buy them for your own baby. You get other people to...
Lucky Wang = Lucky Baby
Oh how I love kimonos on little babies. Just love them. While I’m excited that my eleven month-old is waving and clapping and saying YAH YAH YAH (seriously, does that count as a word?) I am sad that she’s moving past that age where I can just stick her in...
Go Ahead and Get Picky With That Crib Bedding
The greatest time suck of my pregnancy was, oddly, spent on crib bedding websites. Javis-Davis, easily our fave custom crib bedding company (see our rave here) has just cut down the time you’ll need to spend looking for nursery bedding. Or wait – maybe...
Time to Pack Up the Wool Blankets
Call me a blanket snob, but it drives me crazy when a blanket isn’t finished as perfectly on both sides. Considering most babies kick the thing all over the place, why even bother picking out a beautiful fabric if all anyone is going to see is the solid...
Burp Cloths That Don’t Encourage Spitting Up – From You
I confess, I’m not much of a fan of burp cloths. The fabrics are either too scratchy or too foo-foo, and the nice ones don’t exactly make you want to employ them for their intended purpose. I’m happy to say however that I’ve finally found some...
Jubi: Holy Sheet
Try walking into your local big box store and asking for some solid colored crib sheets. The sales clerk will look at you like you just asked her for some nice razor blades wrapped in barbed wire for your baby to play with. What, no clowns? No farm animals? No...
Preppy, By Way of Bed-Stuy
The argyle for babies just keeps coming our way in new and fun ways. Like this sunny yellow romper from CMP fave label, Sir Hayes. The color is perfectly calibrated to spring you out of your Winter baby wardrobe blahs, and the argyle print has just enough irony,...
Baby Slings With a Backstory
I’m all for babywearing, and not just because it keeps my baby secure and happy. Frankly, I’m more selfish than that, and slinging my baby frees up my hands so that I can do other things.Oh okay, the sling hides my flabby postpartum stomach. But...
Cozy Cuts, Now Coming To a Bathtub Near You
One of the happy places for NYC moms is the chain of Cozy’s Cuts for Kids, the kind of salon that feels more Peewee’s Playhouse than barber shop. But what’s especially appealing to parents – besides the fact that your kid doesn’t mind...
Shady Deal
It’s finally officially spring, and I’m ready to go outside and play. Of course, I’ll probably have to take the kids with me. Not to mention the stroller, diaper bag, sunscreen, picnic blanket, a few books, a bunch of snacks, my Sigg bottle, and a...
