My four year-old daughter recently informed me that jeans were "stupid." Which, okay. Not the term I would use, but I get her point that she'd rather be wearing a dress, even to kick a soccer ball in the park. I know for a fact mom, desi…
I still remain firmly in the camp that believes that My First Christmas onesies are a total waste of your hard-earned cash. And I'm not being a Scrooge, I swear - I just prefer to get a little more longevity out of my kids' clothing than…
I know friends who have a holiday tradition of giving the kids a new pair of pajamas every Christmas Eve. It makes for fantastic photo ops on Christmas morning -- but then I visit in the spring and those poor kids are still walking aroun…
I can say, in all honestly, that there have been times when I would not have gone out out in public had I not been wearing my Spanx . That has everything to do with the way Spanx just makes everything feel so supported, both in the lift-…
I can't stop reading Kirtsy Takes a Bow: A Celebration of Women's Online Favorites . And rereading it. And going back to make sure there's nothing I missed. The thing is, it's not just me. An art director friend shirked work for an hour …
Ever since I was introduced to the Aden & Anais muslin swaddlers, I've anxiously awaited (and subsequently been blown away by) their new products, most recently the baby sleep sacks. So I'm not surprised that I was instantly smitten with…
Do you have a recommendation for a favorite diaper bag for plane travel with two young kids? -PI I used to travel alone with both my kids quite often, and even do it now that I have three (eep!). Personally, I'm all for bags that are eas…
My son, the one who is afraid there may be a monster under his bed, is totally willing to curl up with a Balob, Joop or even a Doot as he heads off to dreamland. Who can blame him: Muddy Cloud's adorable cast of characters, which we've l…
With the end of November just around the corner, we had to sneak in one more adoption gift in honor of National Adoption Month - this time the incredibly sweet I was born in my mama's heart shirt from friend to Cool Mom Picks, mom-owned …
When I was in Spain last month, I was introduced to Snoods from Kid Cashmere , these beautiful handmade cashmere sleeves from mom Jolie Sutton. Over the head they're like ear-warming hats, but down around the neck they replace scarves - …
Confession: I was miserable in the last trimester of both of my pregnancies. Not because I was huge and couldn't see my feet and had a person sitting on my bladder. No, I hated that I was compelled to wear really really boring maternity …
With some of our closest friends and family (and yes, even you, our fabulous readers) taking the plunge into parenthood through the amazing gift of adoption, we're always on the lookout for amazing finds as a way to celebrate their journ…

I had my baby in February, which meant my son's little toes needed to be kept warm. He was too young for shoes, and the baby socks I had for him spent more time on the floor than on his feet. But the socks from Trumpette are known for st…
We all know that babies usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to Christmas presents, mostly because they'd just as soon spend hours chewing on a big red bow than playing with a bunch of expensive toys. So this holiday, let…
We love Maclaren strollers (as do millions of moms) so we're pleased to see them conducting a voluntary recall of all Maclaren umbrella strollers . Evidently a hinge at the elbow joint can pinch little fingers (or worse) if they get in t…
The cold weather snap has made me look like a pretty unprepared mom, with my littlest one wearing her older sister's way too big winter hat that I had to scrape up from deep within my closet. Too bad I didn't have one of the adorable, ha…
My sister lives in Brooklyn and had a baby girl in June. I know that her living space is very limited and I am having trouble finding cool gifts to give to the baby. I was wondering if I could get suggestions on things that would be cool…
