You know that feeling, that smell, those results (!!) of the skincare products from a really high-end spa? That's just what we were hoping for when we tried out the Medik8 skincare line. But we had a few questions--what kind of skin is i…
Four words: design your own shoes. No, really. Choose the shape, the toe, the leather, the cloth, the bow. Everything. Just don't blame us if you get addicted. Shoes of Prey is possibly the most magical shopping site I've visited in a wh…

We're always amazed at how many of you are able to make time for running and working out all while chasing after your kids. So with our own Julie Marsh completing her first marathon (go Julie!) and aiming to finish a slew of triathlons t…
I have a thing for Hello Kitty (as you may well know) and I also have a thing for Vans. [ see more awesome kicks after the jump!] The collection of Hello Kitty Vans Sneakers for kids is adorable, as you'd expect, but I think what I like …
The one summer wardrobe staple I missed wearing when I was breastfeeding was a simple, easy dress . (Yeah, not too many of us are willing to lift an entire dress over our heads in public.) But these days, there are so many cool options f…
Cynthia Rowley's back in the Band-Aid business, and this time, she skipped the mall and gone straight to the beach. If you recall the last Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids, you'll know how quickly these blingy bandages are going to sell out. The…
Let's face the facts: you might be Supermom to your kids, but you can't drive a Batmobile. Most of us don't want to be seen in Catwoman's black leather suit. And, much to my personal dismay, Christan Bale has yet to show up at my door, c…
The sad news is that CMP favorite Polarn O. Pyret is discontinuing the maternity and nursing items from their MAMA Collection. The good news? The entire stock has just gone on crazy sale. Save 70% off maternity and nursing wear now while…
I've always traveled with a camisole just in case ...to me, it's one of those staples that you never know when you'll need. Like under a white tee that's a little sheerer than you realized. Or to tuck into your jeans under a top when uh.…
Anyone who knows me will tell you: I'm not dainty. And so much of the personalized jewelry for moms that I see is polished silver, beautifully engraved curlicues, glass photos, and things that, in general, I would break on contact. But t…
A few years back I discovered the lovely, 100% natural beauty and home products from Hellomellow and remain a fan. The products have evolved a bit since then with some pretty new packaging, new scents, and even better, some awesome gift …
If you're like me and on your second or third (or more!) kid, you already know which products will keep you feeling beautiful while you're pregnant, and keep baby bouncy once she's out in the world. You probably also hiss and hide behind…
With all of the amazing choices for Mother's Day jewelry out there, it can be difficult to pick just one. Well of course you don't have to pick just one, but with this beautiful custom necklace, you can be sure you'll get some serious ba…
Discovering the Paper Statement Etsy shop was like looking at your own perceived craftiness in the mirror and laughing at it. I am absolutely blown away by the things true artists can do out of paper and cardboard. The first thing that c…
I learned two things painting faces at an Easter party: little boys really like to be painted as zombies, and wow, tweens and teens have seriously oily skin. So oily that you have to blot it before you can paint it. Yowza. I'm so glad to…
We imagine that it's every jewelry-loving woman's dream to have a special piece custom designed just for her by an amazing designer. So when we were approached by designer Emily Maynard of Elva Fields for just that, we jumped at the chan…
One of our favorite kinds of Mother's Day gifts to recommend are those that give back, because we hardly know a mother among us who isn't committed to making the entire world a better place for our babies. Now there's a new one, offering…
We may be beauty and fashion fanatics to some degree, but chasing after kids and working full-time means that we have less time than we like to spend on taking care of ourselves. Why do you think we're such fans of online shopping? The o…
I had this dress when I was pregnant that made me feel like a goddess. I wore it to two weddings, several parties, and a couple of dates. And then I had the babies and passed it on to another mama like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Mat…
Finding beautiful and appropriate maternity clothing to wear to work when you're pregnant can sometimes feel like a fruitless effort. There were many times during my pregnancies that I had to cobble together an office-appropriate outfit …

Hand-washing is big in our house, especially after that last bout of stomach flu, which has cured my son forever of licking the bathroom floor at Michael's. (I kid. Mostly.) It's easy to take something as simple as a bar of soap for gran…
I've often wished that I could buy samples of items before trying them because with my luck, I end up grabbing the biggest bottle of something and then hating it later. Well with this new service from CMP fave Abe's Market, you can do ju…
