In a field of ironic, cynical tees for kids ( homework sucks, anyone?) I was kind of glad to stumble across this one. Reading simply Today Is the Best Day Ever in big bold type of the FRANKIE SAYS RELAX variety, I could totally see an ol…
Remember your pre-baby years when you would gazing longingly at the adorable baby and toddler clothes in your favorite stores just dreaming of the day when you would be part of the world with a valid reason to buy them? That was exactly …
I hate the feeling of cold feet -- yuck! -- but my kids must not mind because they kick off their slippers at the slightest provocation, freezing floors be damned. Kids! They just don't appreciate cozy toes. Or baths. Or naps. (Silly chi…
I feel like, every fall, I end up on on a mission to find handmade sweaters and other goodies that have that little extra bit of TLC knitted in. You know, like someone made them just for my kids Robbie Carmack of RCforkids is pretty much…
We have a thing for Zappos . A big, hard, mad love kind of a thing. So we were thrilled when, as our newest sponsor, they asked us to choose a few of our favorite holiday shoes for boys and girls. That's uh, kind of like our dream job. A…
Ever since Zara started selling online this fall, I've been stalking their site for European styled clothing for my kids at great prices . But recently, I popped into one of their NYC stores just to make sure the clothes were as awesome …
Every time I go shoe shopping for my son I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of flashing sneakers. Then I remember to check one of my favorite kids' shoes purveyors Livie and Luca and voila, I find cool shoes that won't double as a night l…

So we've finally got a look at the much anticipated Gwen Stefani Harajuku Mini line for Targe t. While it's hopefully not going to lead Missoni-style riots at the store, I'd say if you've got some funky kids to clothe, it's definitely wo…
I am probably the last mother in all the land (or at least in Brooklyn) to discover just how comfy and awesome Toms Shoes are. But I don't think I'm the last to assume that is the time of year that we put them in the back of the closet i…
I am a total Etsy junky; it's my first stop when I'm looking for cool, quirky accessories or for gifts for friends and family. I'm always particularly amazed by the beautiful handmade kids' clothing on Etsy, which is why you see so much …
When new babies make their grand entrances, their bigger siblings can sometimes feel the shaft. It's important to include them in welcoming the new addition--or, you can do what I did and have them so close together the older one doesn't…
Every year I go through my son's clothes to see what has stood the test of a season, and what needs to be retired. Since discovering Red 21 Boys last year, I'm delighted to say he's still wearing everything. And for my crazy active boy, …
Let's face it: If Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter had twins, they would look just like this, and Johnny Depp would give them a set of onesies like this at their Beetlejuice-themed baby shower . The Skeleton Love Kids organic shirt fr…
Ask my mom, and she'll tell you that she knew I was a writer from the moment I was born, or at least from the moment I started scrawling my first story on the wall in... um... nevermind. Too bad they didn't have this onesie back then. Th…
I did this thing last year where I decided it to hand-make my daughter a Big Bird costume for Halloween--feather by feather. I'm not a natural costume-maker, so the whole thing was imperfect--but it was fun to make and she dug it. This y…
I have a soft spot for Anthropologie ; their clothes have a kind of romanticism that makes me want to run off to Paris and spend my days eating macaroons in little sidewalk cafes. But this fall, Anthro brings that same dreamy style to ki…
I've loved the spectacularly gorgeous, understated kids wear from Shirin NYC since first discovering them a few years ago. This is the kind of clothing I spot in a boutique, and the second I touch the silky cotton, I (attempt to) start j…
October is here, which in my house means we move the tights from the back of the drawer to the front and get ready to say goodbye to those cute bare knees. I'm so thrilled to find a new line of tights for girls that's not only affordable…
Regardless of temperature, I never believe it's actually fall until the calendar reads October. Which...hello, October! Now that I've spotted this Autumn Oak Leaf Wand from one of our favorite Etsy artists, I realize I'm definitely in th…
Lots of mamas to boys have a common complaint: not enough awesome boy clothing in the world. But you know what? Around here, we see more and more evidence that boy clothes are starting to rock. Like these, for example, from a most unexpe…
The cutest little girl in my daughter's class always wears this fuzzy vest to school, and I'm trying to use it to convince my daughter to ditch her own awful one that a relative gave her years ago and upgrade to a new one. (Those fuchsia…
One of the best things about having a baby is knowing how loved she is by so many people, even before drawing her first breath. Gifts that express that very sentiment just might be my favorite. Another thing I love: this organic baby gif…
Shoe shopping for my kiddos is more like a scavenger hunt for simple, classic styles without any bling or flashing lights . As much as they'd prefer to glow in the dark, I'm pretty sure they'll be just as happy and way more comfortable i…
