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…
For one brief night in third grade, I was Wonder Woman. Though my polyester Halloween costume was pretty unremarkable, I loved those superhero wrist cuffs that had the power to deflect everything from bullets to spit balls. Now I have tw…
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…
The next Twilight movie doesn't come out until this November-- don't ask me how I know . So for now, if you've got teens into Twilight or tweens into goth gone adorable, you might want to check out the Vamplets. This coven/nursery of snu…
My love runs deep for Green Toys and for good reason. Their sturdy, inviting toys made from recycled milk jugs never fail to make my kids squeal with delight. But the new addition to their line has me as happy as it does my kids. [don't …
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…
A momma friend taught me a simple premise years ago - if a product is genuinely gentle enough for your baby's delicate skin, it'll be kind to your sensitive skin, too. That's how I started using Combat-Ready Balm, formulated for babies a…
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…
Ah spring. The birds are chirping, the buds are poking through the soil, and if you ask the sigOth, miniskirts are making appearances on the leggy 20-somethings in our neighborhood. What's not to love? Right in time, I've found a delicio…
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'…
I sent my daughter to kindergarten with the new version of the slap bracelet that's out, and she was instantly the most popular girl in class. Which means absolutely nothing has changed in 25 years. Yep, slap bracelets are back. This tim…
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…
March 2 was National Read Across America Day, which is in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, which I know because Thing 1 and Thing 2 were spotted around my town in bright blue wigs and matching t-shirts. And while I make it a point to read …
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 …
Boom, boom, acka-lacka-lacka boom, baby. We're proud to show you the results of humanity's first attempt to literally Walk the Dinosaur. Bonus: This king of the terrible lizards has some sweet dance moves. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Push Toy …
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…
Though my sleep-addled brain may never forgive him for Fox in Socks , that tongue-twister of a story my son requested night after night, there is no question that Dr. Seuss' collection of fanciful stories include some of our very favorit…
The beloved car keys--Babies just can't get enough of them. And no matter how realistic those toy keys look, babies know the difference. And even though desperate times can call for desperate measures, it's certainly not ideal. That's wh…
Now that my nineteen month old has officially reached the dreaded "dropsy stage," I try to attach everything I can to her stroller and high chair, from her sippy cup to her toys. So, when I found the MoMA Shapes and Colors Stroller Cards…
