A baby wrap so pretty you might steal it for yourself
My younger son has always been a big blanket kid; even now, at six, he sleeps with at least one baby blanket every night. I love this, both because a kid with a blanket melts my heart and because we got some great blankies when he was a baby, and we’re still...
Swaddling blankets for summer
With a baby born in almost every season, I’d have to say that I had the hardest time swaddling my oldest, a July in Mississippi baby, mostly because the last thing you really want to do is wrap a hot little baby up tightly in a blanket. That’s why...

Hooked on robots
I’ve got a little secret weapon that helps ensure my kids do not leave their clothes and coats lying around: Hooks. Of course, the key is to find ones that actually make some sort of design statement, so you can freely place them around your home without looking...
Baby blankets with a softer side
I know, it’s summer and you’re not thinking warm, fuzzy blanket, but really, for those pregnant friends due in fall or winter or those of us with the air conditioning pumping all night, the handmade blankets from Big Fat Hen are a pretty great pick to have...
Spring showers that won’t mess with your hair
