I admit that I was the type who kinda liked the guy who might have worn the tuxedo t-shirt to the prom. That is, before Screech did it on Saved By the Bell, or whatever TV nerd turned it from semi-rebellious to positively dorky.So it’s not surprising that I...

I realize that back-to-school is knocking on my door, but considering it stays warm and sunny in our neck of the woods until early October, I’m not sure my daughter will be sporting the brown eather Mary Janes on August 11. So I can blame the weather for my...

When your daughter is begging to stick 6,000 glittery clips in her hair, sometimes the plain old barrette doesn’t cut it. So I’ve come up with this motto: “All bling in moderation unless you are Carmen Electra.” And even then I can’t say...

Being that my daughter was a little baldie for a very long time, imagine my excitement when she became obsessed with hair clips. Especially because I am not the type to stick barrettes on a bald scalp with Karo syrup. My enthusiasm was quickly dashed when I...

I find it hard to believe that there are still scrunchie wearers in the world, unless they have all arrived here via time machine direct from 1991. Better option–wayyyy better option–is Knotheads. I will admit it took me some time to come around on these...

We’re always on the lookout for cool empowering tees for our girls that aren’t so empowering that they’re cheesy. You know what I’m talking about. Oh yes you do. A nice example of ones that work: The tees from Ava’s Closet, mom Katie...

I see a whole lot of items presented as wearable art that, well, I would say wearable yes. Art, not so much. But in the case of Lark and Loon, the descriptor really fits. This two mom-run shop commissions original pieces from artists across the country and turns them...

So here we are, well into summer when just now I realize my toddler’s shoe wardrobe is not really cutting it. What I need is something more like a sneaker-sandal hybrid; something that looks cute with a skirt but can still handle impromptu jaunts to the...

Sometimes you touch an article of children’s clothing and it is so buttery soft, so absolutely luxurious, it makes you want to toss everything else your kid has been wearing pronto. That’s how I felt when I first caressed the exquisitely soft and stretchy...

I have resisted featuring tutus here for like a million years – or at least two – because frankly, 99.9% of them are too frilly, foofy, poofy and mega-princessy for even our little princesses. Rule of thumb: A tutu shouldn’t look as if it has eaten...
