Personalized Onesies, Hold the Cheese

Personalized Onesies, Hold the Cheese

I love buying personalized tees for my friends’ babies, but it’s often hard to find something that isn’t either absurdly blinged out, or so cutesie-sweet it makes your teeth hurt. So I’m loving the personalized tees and onesies from the hip new...
I See London, I See France…

I See London, I See France…

Now that Spring is here (okay, so it’s still freezing out; minor technicality.) I’m ready to get a little girlier with my daughter’s wardrobe. Is there anything cuter than little girls in sweet little dresses, with their bare, chubby knees poking out...
Silver is the New Black

Silver is the New Black

All the 3-going-on-14 little girl’s clothes have forced me to become a traditionalist when it comes to dressing my daughter. I’m into the fairly standard tops, bottoms, and dresses — no ridiculous mini skirts or shiny half-shirts for my toddler. But...
Two, Two, Two Pants in One

Two, Two, Two Pants in One

I love the concept of reversible kids clothes. And not just because I’m a shameless laundry avoider. It’s more so because I am at times too indecisive to choose between two items–I want them both. So when I came across the entirely reversible swingy,...
Boyz in the Hoodie

Boyz in the Hoodie

As much time as I spend on the web tracking down cool clothes for kids, I’m admit I’m still often at a loss for gifts when I hear a friend has a boy on the way. If only I liked those sailor suits, things would be a whole lot easier. And then I discovered...
Children of the Children of the 70s

Children of the Children of the 70s

Some trends in kidswear cannot be short-lived enough. That whole pimp genre of little boys’ tees? If I never see another one again that would be just fine. But one trend I’m loving: The groovy 70s-inspired designs on kids tees, that look eerily like the...
The World’s Least Girlie Barrettes

The World’s Least Girlie Barrettes

Even tomboys need hair clips; after all, how are you supposed to catch a frog if your hair keeps falling into your face? But unfortunately most of them are so…girlie. And then I found these: Extraordinary, handcrafted grasshopper clips that are so realistic,...
Kiss Me, I May Or May Not Be Irish

Kiss Me, I May Or May Not Be Irish

While I’m all for going festive for the holidays, the problem with buying shamrock leggings and an "Erin Go Bragh" shirt for your toddler is that it looks pretty out of place every day but one. But this gorgeous capri dress and green bolero from...
See How They Run

See How They Run

In the spring, a mother’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of… shoes, of course! I love browsing the ballet flats and strappy sandals available for my little girls. But I get tired of the selection at my local big box store, and don’t like paying the...
Drool Gets Cool

Drool Gets Cool

It’s no secret among those who know me that I hate newborn bibs. Yes I know they’re essential for very drooly babies but still. They’re bibs! I’ve held out hope that analternative would come along by the time my own newborn started...
Doctor? Lawyer? Donut Tycoon?

Doctor? Lawyer? Donut Tycoon?

Anyone can print out a baby registry and dutifully purchase an infant bathtub and bouncy seat. But we’d rather find something that breaks up all the cliched "oohs and ahs" with a hearty guffaw at our friends’ showers. Take these hilarious...
Out of This World

Out of This World

We know there’s no shortage of leather baby booties on the market these days — all of which are terribly cute and perfect for those crawlers and early-walkers. But if you’relooking for a shoe that no one else in the playgroup is likely to have,you...
