It's St. Patrick's Day and that means it's time to put green food coloring in the pancakes, the mashed potatoes, and the toilet. What, your leprechauns don't tinkle in the potty as they hunt for gold? But if you'd like a pretty, sturdy, …
We love to bring you great picks with a great story, and this one hits home on a lot of levels . Here's how one little girl is making the world a better place through clothes designed by kids, for kids. Bethany Sawyer was only five when …
This Thursday, March 21st, we'd like you to help raise awareness about World Down Syndrome Day, not by making a donation to research (although that's always nice), or signing a petition, or running a 5K. Instead, we ask that you and the …

With spring on the horizon, everywhere I turn I see cotton-tailed bunnies, woolly lambs, and fluffy chicks. Not a bad thing, but you know what's even cuter than spring critters? Kids in soft, snug cotton jammies, all squishy bums and chu…
I admit, I can't resist those special little baby layette items that force you to take, oh, 647 photos or so of your baby in rapid succession on your smartphone. How totally adorable is this pilot baby sleep set ? (No need to answer. I k…
We've always loved going on a "literary journey" from the comfort of our couch by reading stories from other countries. Next stop? Tehran's traditional story about a girl and a mean stepmother, though it's definitely not the story you've…
Although I'm a passionate lover of words, I'm in love with this gorgeously illustrated picture book for kids that tells an entire story about friendship, acceptance, and beauty. . . without a single word. Flora and the Flamingo is pure d…
I am an advocate for shopping online. As a mom, I rarely have time to visit the mall or shop at my favorite local stores. So it's always a treat for me to come across new sites with an effortless style that's as fun to browse as it is to…

In honor of Black History Month, I've started sharing a beautifully illustrated new book with my kids that introduces them to 200 years of poetry from some of the most influential African-American poets. Even more than a history book, th…
It's hard to imagine a world without little plastic bricks, especially if you have a kid who's obsessed. But what if LEGO were made of wood? The cool part is that they actually exist. And they're compatible with the original bricks too. …

There are so many amazingly unique and gorgeous baby products out there. But when I was a new mama, I was so exhausted and preoccupied, I found it hard to find the time to actually buy all the cool baby clothes, toys and gear I would've …
Nununu is a baby and kids label I recently discovered, and instantly fell for. (My daughter owns this alphabet dress in grey, and it's the best.) The construction is amazing, the cottons are soft but sturdy and I really love the styling …
My daughter, like me, is addicted to dresses. Oh, occasionally I find she's dressed herself in MC Hammer pants and a sequined tee (she's a style maker, what can I say). But mostly, she adores dresses--and I adore her in them. When I find…
I am a sucker for bright, colorful socks, and so is my kid. We're all for feet having more fun (not to mention that having fun socks to look forward to each day seems to magically get us out the door faster). It seems to be going around …
