New, and In No Need of Improvements

New, and In No Need of Improvements

It’s been said that babies are a marketer’s dream – if only they could make purchases themselves. Which is why I’m quietly chuckling over the new New! onesies from new mom/pop run shop, Huddy Buddy. It’s the newness trifecta. Of course...
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

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...

Tutus for Even the Tutu Wary

As my toddler grows old enough to express clothing preferences, I’m a little less averse to frilly tutu kind of stuff and a little more into making her happy. (Don’t make me admit it in public.) Still, it’s nice to come across a compromise that...

So maybe you need a little Christmas, right this very minute – or maybe you’re doing your best Bah, Humbug every time you hear another round of Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer in the supermarket. If you’re in the former camp, you’re going to...

In the News[boy]

I am now calling my son "The kid with the largest head on this planet" — said with love, of course. The search has been on to find a hat for him that’s cute, warm, and won’t cut off all blood flow to his brain.Well thanks to Faith’s...
I Go to Extremes

I Go to Extremes

If you rummaged through my son’s drawers you’d find absolutely no sports themed wear. I’m just not a fan of overpriced licensed jerseys that help fund overpaid athletes.But I am loving Milkshaxs, a Vancouver clothing company that caters to the sports...
