Adorable baby booties that actually stay on. It’s real! We swear!
There is some unknown force that prevents socks from staying on babies’ feet. Probably the same one that makes socks magically disappear from dryers. Luckily, a new line from guava kids, guavaboots, is an answer to this ongoing conundrum and will be the solution...
Get in The Shade: the all-purpose, all-weather protector for baby
I firmly believe that the rule that applies to dogs should also apply to babies: always ask before touching. (Hey, let’s add pregnant bellies to that list, too). When my son was an infant, I was at the grocery store and a total stranger walked up and just...

Parenthood Listography: It’s a baby book, it’s a parenting keepsake journal, and it’s hilarious
Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt guilt–even a little–over those unfinished baby book pages, incomplete prompts and photo spaces that really, you swear you meant to put a photo in…one day… Yeah, well, me too. Which is why I think I may...
The best baby’s first year calendar: Precious and totally low pressure. (We like low pressure.)
I am a planner: to-do lists, calendars, and Post-Its rule my universe and make me feel complete. You would think that I would have been all over the baby book record keeping, right? Looking back, I think it was a commitment issue, the same way I never feel right about...
