One of the biggest requests we get these days are for clothes for tween girls that aren't slutty. (Their words, not mine. Okay, mine too.) It should not be so hard to dress a ten year-old like a ten year-old, right? Well I've discovered …
Obviously, we've got Father's Day on the brain lately. Which means we're also thinking about fathers of all kinds. Like single dads. And those dads with a second loving dad at home. Evidently, Marc Jacobs is in the same place. So we're s…
Why my kids have an obsession with sleepwear and pajamas I'm not entirely sure, but yep, obsessed pretty much sums it up. Over the years, I've learned to invest a little more in their pjs because I find the cheap stuff stretches and lose…

My son's drawers are full of two kinds of shirts: casual tees and dressier polos, and absolutely nothing in between. That's why I'm digging new-to-us apparel that's perfect for doing double wardrobe duty. The cool iNTAKT polo shirts are …
Love bright prints, colorful toys, and cottons that will really breathe this summer, since they were crafted to withstand the sweltering heat of Africa? Love knowing that your purchase helps babies all over the world? Us, too. That's why…
The news that The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb died this weekend seems particularly poignant following Donna Summer's passing last week: Two of the most significant voices of my childhood, gone. I, for one, am thrilled that their music will live…
Standard hoodie bath towels for kids seem to have one major drawback: they slip off. Once you let your damp toddler loose, there's no way that towel's staying on that newly clean little head. [don't miss an exclusive limited time discoun…
With the official start of summer only two weeks away and the warm weather already here in my neck of the woods, I've been sifting through my son's clothes from last season and realizing that ack, he needs a whole lot for this year's sum…
Mamas of brand new little boys, I have good news for you: Beloved children's clothing designer brand Zutano has a new collection available at Target -- and it happens to be adorable. We all know how hard it can be to find cute clothes fo…
My kids have tons of cheap sunglasses -- they're fun and perfect for when they're playing spies, but I know they're not ideal when we're in the sun. In fact, they always seem to "borrow" my expensive sunglasses when we're outside. Hm, I …
Well lookie here at what Gap is doing these days: taking a page from the Target Shops, West Elm's indie artist selections, and other mainstream retailer partnerships with the little guys. Because starting today, Gap has joined forces wit…
When giving a gift to an expecting mother, I prefer finding something that's of very good quality, a reasonable price point and aesthetically pretty--but practical at the same time. Fortunately, those three thing are becoming easier to f…

My boys dig hats, and I must admit, I love when they rock them. A cool lid can provide the perfect pop to any outfit--but it's gotta be the just the right size otherwise it just looks like something out of a dress up closet. That's why I…
I'm not the best gardener -- my entire vegetable haul, from June to September probably equals little more than one large salad -- but gardening really is good for the soul. And, there are always gardening chores that even the smallest ki…
Yesterday, Beastie Boys lovers everywhere collectively gasped with the passing of Adam Yauch. For so many of us, MCA will live on in our MP3 players and iPods--and for some of us, in our mix tapes that are still packed away in boxes some…
I admit that I'm not much of a floral person when it comes to clothes--a bit of a challenge considering I've got three girls to dress in a season where flowers are the hottest thing next to neon. However, when I caught a peek at this ado…
My one-year-old is a lightning fast crawler and he has the dirty knees to prove it. So I'm a big fan of baby leggings for more than mere fashion, especially when they're as uber-soft as this new option. The new Leggies Legwarmers from Li…
Who doesn't love an old fashioned pop up book? For Jane of the Etsy shop Little Blue Frogs , her childhood love of pop up books resurfaced when she had kids of her own, and lucky for us, her fascination resulted in a crafty and completel…
If you looked in my kids' closet, you'd find more Tea clothes than pretty much anything else. (Besides my t-shirts that they steal and call "nightgowns.") Since the day I first got a Tea outfit for my baby shower, I fell in love with dur…
When you are invited to a fancy affair with a baby boy, it can be tricky to navigate the waters . Girls are so easy (Yes, I'm a mom of boys so this is all just speculation tinged with jealousy), no matter the age. You've got dresses, tun…
As a mom, I remember my babies living in the classic white onesie, which is an easy piece to pair with pops of color. So I always appreciate finding beanies for babies that have lots of personality and vibrancy. These brand new handmade …
For some reason, every pregnant friend in my life is having a boy these days. So I'm even more attuned to the limited choice there is in terms of motifs on their clothing. While we've worked pretty hard to track down cool boys' clothes t…
