Aprons That Get an A

Aprons That Get an A

As much as I love those cute flouncy cotton kid’s aprons, frankly, they’re no match for a toddler and a spatula full of brownie batter. So I absolutely fell in love with the kids aprons from Beansoup the second I took mine out of the package. The first...
We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

Regardless of how you stand on the candidate herself, the fact that there’s a woman leading more than one presidential poll is pretty awesome. We’ve come a long way from the 70s when they ran ads in the back of Ms. Magazine for tees proclaiming A...
Mommy = 1, Wiggly Baby = 0

Mommy = 1, Wiggly Baby = 0

I used to think baby clothes with snaps were the best solution for a wiry, wiggly baby. And then my brute of a son came along, and it was like wrestling a greased squealing pig into pajamas.So take my advice ye mothers-to-be, and invest in a few kimono tops, like the...

Heads Turning Heads

I love that we’ve still got a good few months of hat-wearing weather in my neck of the woods, only partly because my bald baby rocks the chapeaux rather nicely without all those fussy locks to get in the way. Our latest happening haberdashery find: The awesome...

Über-Hoodie

Über-Hoodie

With December weather fluctuating between mildly cold to oddly warm, layering pieces are a mom’s best friend. On my own wish list for my daughter: A Random Nicole hoodie, just one of many fantastic finds at mom and pop-run boutique for junior fashionistas,...
Genius Baby Clothes. Really.

Genius Baby Clothes. Really.

We parents often have no problem sticking our kids in clothes that proclaim cutie or sweetie-pie or (gak) future model. But when it comes to proclaiming their obvious genetically-determined intellectual superiority, for some reason we stop short.No longer. The...
Mommy’s Little Headbanger

Mommy’s Little Headbanger

If there’s one lesson that I’ve learned about being a mom in 2007 it’s that I have layette options. Lots of them. Just ask baby bearers from the good old nineties about trying to find a Vivenne Westwood-style onesie or socks that didn’t have...
