A Little Swing for Spring

A Little Swing for Spring

You know I’ve got a severe case of winter-itis when I’m caressing the lightweight cotton dresses in my daughter’s dresser, fantasizing about the first moment I can get her dressed in a single article of clothing and call it a day. Top on my list: the...

I’m of course in awe of all the artists and crafty moms we feature here on CMP. But I have a special place in my heart for those multiple-hit wonders who keep cranking out the cool stuff. One of them: The very talented Jennifer Talbot of b.delicious.We first...
See Kai Run. Maybe Strut a Little.

See Kai Run. Maybe Strut a Little.

The new Kais are here! Yippee! Mamas who know the brand (as in, pretty much my entire Brooklyn neighborhood, judging from their children’s feet) love See Kai Run shoes for any number of reasons. The handmade shoes are comfy and flexible but sturdy, the styles...

Socks To Be You

Socks don’t tend to be something moms get excited over. In fact, aren’t they the butt of jokes about bad gifts, along with fruitcakes and Dustbusters? But then mama-run Nix Baby came along with their awesome All-Star collection of socks, and now I’m...

Rainy Day Barrettes

Rainy Day Barrettes

I’m the type of mom who, when barricaded in the house by a torrential downpour, needs to get out of the rut of  the paints- crayons -dvd routine. For something extra special for my daughter on those kinds of days, I’m loving the Kid Craft Kit at Happy...
Anchovies? Yes Please.

Anchovies? Yes Please.

While it’s definitely gotten easier for moms to track down cool onesies, commandeering an entire funky baby layette can be challenging. I suppose "funky" and "layette" aren’t necessarily synonymous, unless you’re browsing...
