Recycled, charitable, and oh so fancy

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you; in general the notion of putting cashmere on a baby seems absurd to me. In my world, babies and "hand wash only" are two things that don't go together. But now I humbly eat my words, having chec…

Socks in Box

I'm constantly on the lookout for fun little gender-neutral baby gifts. (I mean, what is it with all these moms who "want to be surprised" anyway? Can't everyone be as impatient as I am?) One of my favorite new finds are the adorable bam…

Tokidoki goes bambino, yippee!

When I first saw the new line of tokidoki apparel for babies earlier this year, I gasped -- Must. Have. Now. But alas, it wasn't available in the US "now," then. Well, now it's starting to be. These colorful characters are like the best …

The perfect baby gift, now with more choices

We've always thought that the personalized baby tees from Little Uni make the most thoughtful little $30-ish baby gifts - which is also why they're featured so prominently on our 2009 Baby Shower Gift Guide . So it's nice to see this mom…

Avast ye scurvy neckwear!

Right in time for Halloween, I stumbled upon this most adorable skull and crossbones scarf at Admiral Road, made out of the same soft, cozy fleece as their personalized fleece blankets. I can imagine that even the most difficult, scarf-e…

Tea to keep the kids warm at night

The nights have become downright frosty which means I'm scrambling to see if any of the kids' pajamas from last winter still fit them; given that they seem to grow a foot a year, it's likely that they'll need new threads . Some of the ni…

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay

Because my own brood is rather estrogen heavy, whenever I see the cool stuff from Knuckleheads I think, hm . . .any boys I need to shop for these days? Their new plaid flannel boys' jacket is right on trend this year what with the Nirvan…

Custom cons! Custom cons!

What's cooler than a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse high tops? How about a pair of canvas Chucks that your kid gets to customize from the outer pattern down to the color of the shoelaces? I know! I am swooning! The Converse website is rea…

Not your mama's jeans jacket

Eek, is it October? Really ? Good lord, how did that happen? I suppose it's time to start curating the jacket closet and making sure we have some decent fall outerwear options for the girls. On the casual side -- hoodie sweatshirts. On t…

Rock n roll princess

As my oldest daughter starts to get more into fairies and princesses and all things pink (God help me), I'm still trying to keep her just a wee bit rock 'n roll. So I love the looks of this handmade guitar lap tee that feels both girlie …

Parents who love Baby Legs looooove Baby Legs, and they'll be excited to see that the new fall styles are now out on the new and vastly improved website. My favorite has to be the Hero legwarmers and by hero, we all pretty much recognize…

Baby's first crayons

A box of crayons and a coloring book are a staple toddler gift around these parts, but now with the sweet Crayon Rompers from The Baby Bunch, even their newborn siblings can get in on the budding artistry. This set of three bright, soft,…

Keeping her pants up while getting down

My daughter's going through a growth spurt, and any jeans without those little adjustable waist button-and-elastic dojobbies tend to sag to her rear's danger zone without an actual belt. I've spent the past several weeks plying her with …

The cutest handmade baby booties - CMP does etsy

I can't wait to show you what I've found for this week's Etsy roundup. Baby shoes! Ok, you might not be as excited as I am, but when all your kids are big and sweaty and teens that smell like Axe, I'll ask you again and then you'll squee…

The television show Mad Men isn't just influencing adult styles for Fall. We've seen some pretty awesome retro-inspired kid's clothes and shoes this back to school season, like the adorable Elliott shoes from See Kai Run . Even though th…

On the wings of angels

If you watch Project Runway (and if you don't, you're dead to me) then you know that shoulders are the new black. All the fall fashions seem to be drawing attention to shoulders in some way, and now baby clothes are in on the bandwagon t…

Personally I believe that Seth Rogan is the Woody Allen of our generation. So when he sported this Superjew Tee in the movie Funny People my immediate thought was Love it! Not, Hm, why don't they make those for kids? But, sometimes Holly…

Making mother smile - peace picks for 9/11

Smiling Planet is one of those little companies that just makes you happy. Or at least it made me happy when I discovered their melamine-free plastic plates earlier this year. And I thought they'd be a nice shop to kick off today's array…

Never lose a hair clip again

My daughter has an adorable hair clip holder that does a pretty great job of organizing her hair accessories, as long as they actually make it up the stairs and into her room. Most of the time they're shoved in the bathroom drawers, or w…

A mini-me for your mini-she

Rarely do I bemoan the fact that my daughter won't tolerate anything in her hair, but when I first saw these mini me custom felt portraits from Emandsprout , I couldn't stop thinking of how utterly adorable a portrait barrette would look…
