The very first word my son ever spelled was S-T-O-P, which is not surprising given how many hours he spent accompanying his older sisters to their many activities. If you also have a little road warrior who's more interested in street si…
Looking for ideas for a child's birthday party can be both fun-- and stressful. When my kids were younger, I confess, I went a little overboard with over-the-top parties causing me to collapse with exhaustion. As I learned, it can be a l…
I still remember the first time I put a bib on my first child and attempted to feed her mashed avocado. The bib was tiny, and the burp cloths were across the room, and I panicked. We both ended up in the bathtub afterward. On the plus si…
Accessories for kids can be ridiculously cool when they are done well, which is why I love these baby belts. They're not only affordable, they add just the right amount of pop to any little hipster outfit. My Baby Belts has quite the sel…
When I brought home a Best Pals rag doll for my youngest daughter, I had no idea it would end up becoming one of her very favorite of many (many) dolls an stuffed animals. I mean, clearly I loved the simplicity of the design and the wond…
Long before it was considered the "right thing to do", one of our favorite toy companies, PlanToys was making imaginative, eco-friendly toys in cool, modern shapes and bright colors. While they've pushed the standards in environmentally …
Last summer, I shopped around for bikinis and two-piece swimsuits for little girls that didn't make them look like teens before their time . Our readers responded so positively, I thought I'd take a browse around this year and see what l…
Here's a little hipster tip for you that I picked up from those who know way better than I. Ironic trucker hats: out. Structured hats: in. Which is probably why the gorgeous adult and kids caps from Fairends are getting attention from th…
Girls' birthday party ideas can still be girlie, even if you want to avoid the same old princess theme. Which is why I instantly fell in love with the downloadable, customizable party kits at Creative Little Stars, based around classic s…
I've considered feeding my one-year-old naked. (As in, naked one-year old, not me.) Though there is art in the way he manages to splatter his outfit with every color and texture of the foods on his plate, I'd rather not change his cute o…
My kids' rooms sometimes remind me of Las Vegas, and not because of there's always the possibility I might win a multimillion dollar jackpot when I go in them. No, despite my best intentions, they each house a lot of beeping, whirring, b…
While Venus may have gotten all the attention this week, it's that little black rock that we call Pluto that still has my heart. Although I think the kids are learning a new mnemonic device for future interplanetary conquest, we're not a…
There's hardly a mom who doesn't imagine that it would be nice to own at least one fancy, beautiful garment for the kids from a label like France's Jacadi . So hooray-- because they're making it even easier with a huge sale starting toda…

Pink and blue can feel like such generic colors for a baby layette. But when it is done right, it not only looks great, but let's be honest, it does help a new mom avoid those awkward comments about "what a beautiful baby boy!" when what…
We are big fans of Fore! Axel and Hudson. Their golf inspired clothes for boys are just so darn cool. But they do more than the golf stuff, as it turns out, and if you've got a fancy occasion coming up, but a not-so-fancy boy, this is a …
I just had my fifth baby a couple weeks ago and need some ideas for baby sun protection. Could you tell me some of your favorite products for making it easier and safer to be out in the sun with a very young infant? -Kim Congratulations …
Hooray, it's unofficially summer this week! That mean fun days at the beach, and for parents, the grand hunt for UV swimwear and the perfect sunblock to keep our kids safe. My daughter is not the yellow polka dot bikini kind of gal anywa…
With a husband in the Air Force Reserves, you can bet that Memorial Day means more to us than the unofficial start of summer and a long lazy weekend. And while in years past I deck the kids out in red, white, and blue, this year I've got…
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…
I've seen enough tangram activities in my kids' math books to know that they are supposed to be great at fostering an early understanding of geometry , spatial reasoning, and design. But eh, my kids just think they are fun and make neat …
