We're not usually big pastel gals around here, but looking at the Cover Me baby blankets spotted at Little Milk Junkie you can see why we made an exception. These super soft, cuddly, knit cotton stroller blankets are made in the US by tw…
I've always loved the durable, comfy, mix-and-match style of Zutano , ever since I was first pregnant and my BFF tipped me off about this mom-and-pop run boutique brand for kids. And now they've launched a new Itzy Bitzy boutique online …
When my local supermarket carries twenty different baby skin care lines, it's clear there's a lot to choose from out there. I can't keep track of what should or should not go on my baby's skin and who is or who isn't using the most envir…
Say "quilt" and certain words are likely to spring to mind, like old-fashioned, patchwork, and grannies -- but one look at the incredible modern quilts from Got Me In Stitches and you'll realize that you're way off base. These quilts are…
I realize that you probably have no problem finding a cute baby layette for under $25, and for that, I salute you. But to find one made with vegetable dyes out of soft pima cotton? Well that creates a bit more of a challenge. Well, say h…
When I was in Maine a couple of years ago, I found the most incredible handmade goats' milk soap at a farmer's market. I'm such an idiot for not scribbling down the name, because I haven't been able to track it down again. But recently, …
Honestly, I'm not that into bath salts and scrubs and fancy pampering- maybe because my shower lengths are too often determined by how long I can stand to hear the baby cry. But I do understand the advantages of smelling nice, which is w…
We hit a stretch of gorgeous weather here in Atlanta and aside from making me run out for a pedicure and shave my legs (ha!), these balmy spring days have me packing up all the long sleeved onesies and swapping in the warmer weather baby…
After changing three little bums on the go, I've learned never to underestimate the power of a fantastic diaper changing pad. And while lots of diaper bags these days come with their own matching changing pads, the majority tend to be an…
The girls' collection from Lola et Moi is vibrant, it's candy colored, and it's definitely not for wallflowers, people afraid of color, or those who live by the adage that less is more. Which is why it's so exciting for spring. (Also, yo…
I had forsaken double strollers because, let's face it, they are gigantic monstrous beasts that can hardly be tamed by one poor mother. The front-to-back strollers made me feel like I was pushing a huge shopping cart, and the side-by-sid…
Thankfully, BPA free plastic baby bottles are now easy to find, but if you've decided to go the extra careful route and use glass bottles for your baby, you might find the search a little trickier. Well now you can hop over to your local…
I may be done having babies, but that doesn't mean I am done coveting the cool gear the new ones get, like the Micralite Toro Stroller . As the name implies, this fairly new little technological marvel is super-light, weighing in at just…
It may be a while before the babies I know can slurp down a triple scoop, but that wouldn't stop me from parading them around town in this adorable Ice Cream Cheerleading Stunt onesie. Designed by Ava-Marie Guerrero and available at the …
When I was pregnant, I was always amazed about how little I felt like myself. Yes, having babies is a beautiful, glorious thing, but darn if I didn't feel like a beached whale stuffed in some boring tenty t-shirt. Oh how I longed to feel…
Since falling in love with muslin swaddling blankets, I've donated most of my daughter's other blankets to my kids' play bin. So when Jessica Burros of the shop Bambino Land told me she was designing muslin wash cloths , I scrambled to g…
It's hard to resist a designer whose bio proclaims that she draws inspiration from "the intersection between geeks and guitars." Hey - that's us, too! Except for the designer part. So yeah, we fell instantly in love with San Francisco ar…
It's so nice these days that a modern mama has more choices when it comes to nursery bedding and accessories-- even more so than I did nearly (eep) four years ago when I became a parent. And with the proliferation of all this great mod d…
There are so many tees out there attributing characteristics to a kid-- rock star, diva, chick magnet-- that probably better reflect the parents' aspirations than any actual aptitude on the part of the pint-sized t-shirt wearer. I have n…
I dug into my Mother's Day stash of bubble baths recently only to realize that they are filled with tons of artificial chemicals and additives. Hardly a relaxing thought. Cyan Bonacci must have felt the same way since she created Lee-Lai…
When you've got two uber-hip kids' brands, it's not surprising that eventually they'll meet, fall in love, and elope to Vegas after which they'll make beautiful co-branded children's products together. (Well, maybe not the Vegas part.) A…
Since I can no longer swaddle my youngest, I'm stuck in that weird place of needing to keep her warm, but not wanting to use a loose blanket just yet. And most of the infant sleep sacks that we've found here tend to be meant for cooler w…
I am done with having babies. For real. But I have to admit, when I come across something as utterly delicious as this velour angel wing snapsuit from luxury kids label Marie-Chantal , it does give me pause. But no. NO. I'm standing firm…
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best ones - for every ten pitches we get for products you didn't know you needed and really, still don't, we get one for something like the Mighty Buggy Hook , which totally improves your stroller (an…
