If you're lucky enough to live in Montreal, then April 30 is going to be one really amazing day of shopping. The mama-run Collectif nënë is launching their first annual baby show and you will want to be there. Of course, most of us aren'…
Does your child leap tall buildings in a single bound? Is she faster than a speeding bullet or sometimes confused with a bird or a plane? I know all about this phenomenon because my daughter is a super girl who also demands super hero co…
If your little guy is anything like mine, his wardrobe is stocked with a lot of the standard-issue dude-themed clothes: frogs, trucks, monkeys. You know. So I thought this new idea for a mini-man's dresser was especially brilliant. In fa…
At this point, it's not news that Target is spot-on in the designer collaboration department. They seem to keep churning out awesome new collection after awesome new collection with the hottest kid brands around. And now it's Appaman's t…
Some girls like hair accessories, others like tutus. Mine? Are obsessed with underwear. OH THE DRAMA we have each morning over which pair to wear. If your kids, like mine, go gaga over character underwear, but you'd rather keep the TV ch…
Retail therapy is literally retail therapy when a portion of your purchase goes towards Japan's Earthquake Relief. Today only, one of our favorite brands, Tea Collection, is donating 20% of all proceeds to Give2Asia for Japan Earthquake …
For a gift that will definitely inspire some "awwwws" at baby showers, we've found that very thing. Or rather, we've found 120 of those very things on our recently launched Baby Shower Gift Guide . But now, we've found one more. (Don't m…
Around Easter, little girls' outfits at the boutiques can start looking a bit fancy-pantsy. Patent leather and pressed ruffles are all well and good, but the baby girls I know have usually preferred something a bit softer. And sassier. H…
It can be mighty windy up in the stands, but even if you're staying home to watch the game on the TV, every tot-sized baseball fan needs a pair of baseball-themed leg warmers, right? Just in time for the start of baseball season, I am lo…
I rarely buy clothes for my oldest daughter online because she is so very picky about what she lets touch her skin. Tight cuffs, buttons, care labels, embroidered designs, zippers...the list on "no's" goes on and on and on. But last year…
Just when I was about to complain about how girls always seem to get the coolest accessories, our stylish friends at Knuckleheads launches their spring collection, and looky what the newest trend is for the cool boys in your life. [don't…
My kids have a thing for pajamas the way most kids have a thing for race cars or princess crowns. Each night is an exercise in patience as I wait for them to pick the very perfect pair, then argue about whose is the snowflakes and whethe…
On a trip to LA last month, I knew I had to stop into Fred Segal, my retail happy place for many many years. While I'm not in the market for a $700 pair of shoes this particular moment, I always love stopping into the kids boutique there…
Sometimes having a son instead of daughter can be disappointing when it comes to sartorial selections. Although our cool clothes for boys category has been blowing up with new finds in recent weeks. Now, it's the new Appaman Fine Tailori…
I have a lot of words for our current putting-of-the-kids-to-sleep experience. With a bed-jumping preschooler and a bedtime-book-ripping baby, "magical" is not one of them. Or at least it hasn't been. But maybe that'll change with the ri…
Love may be a burning thing... but it doesn't have to make a fiery ring. In your wallet, anyway. What am I going on about? Oh, maybe just the cutest pint-sized nod to one of the world's most notable singers. This Johnny Cash Pomade Kids'…
My baby boy is now six, hates to be called "baby boy" and is growing like a weed, as evidenced by his way-too-small spring shirts I unearthed from the back of his closet. Let me count the ways I love Kate Emerson Designs' Boys Snap Shirt…
Without fail, March 17th arrives and I start digging through my kids' dressers in the search for something, anything, green. I usually end up with one child wearing last year's soccer tee and one poor soul in a shirt that requires me tel…
One of the many surprise discoveries I made after having a baby boy was that I'm actually pickier about boy clothes. Specifically, a lot of sports-themed duds don't pass muster, but select favorites make me swoon. But here's a new line t…
It's been a long time since I've munched on a beignet or window-shopped my way down Royal Street, but I have very fond memories of my last trip to the fabulous city of New Orleans and how alive it always is with music and laughter. From …
Our kids may never debate the merits of Betty vs. Veronica or laugh at Jughead's ability to gulp down hamburgers. But you still have to admit that this crown-style hat hearkens back to the golden days of Archie, before all comic book cha…
If I can give you a tip in the sneaker trend department, it's that laces are going away. Not in favor of Velcro, but in favor of nothing at all. I'm seeing lots of plain, unlaced eyelets, all preppy boat-shoe style. So cool. If you're a …
We drop the word "cute" a lot, mainly because it's so versatile. Teeny tiny onesies? Cute. Gorgeous handmade jewelry? Cute. Sweet stationary? Cute. The guy who washed my hair this morning at the salon? Cute. But it's also refreshing when…
Lately, my daughter is looking pretty sheepdoggy -- how is it that bangs grow five times as fast on an almost-4-year-old? -- and, occasionally, she will concede to wearing a hairband or ponytail so that she can actually see things before…
