Pink bedding for girls, hold the cavities

by Melissa | Baby

I’m a big fan of gender-neutral colors, especially for the nursery. For my boys’ room I mixed in the requisite blue with lime, red and brown, all of which I consider both boy and girl-friendly. When I saw the new ultra-modern pink nursery designs from Olli...

Home is where the heart is

by Stephanie Mayers | Living

I like pretty designs. I like hearts. I am a girl. It’s not all that complicated. But I don’t believe that girlie has to mean cheesy. A perfect example of that? This funky heart patterned pillow cover. Texturas Urbanas is a one-woman show operated by...

In silhouette

by Susan | Art + Decor

As I’ve learned, finding the perfect holiday gift for nieces and nephews can be tough, particularly when I’m trying to avoid picking out some random thing from the giant toy store chain. This year, I’m thinking about something personalized and...

Now I lay them down to sleep

by Stephanie Slate | Baby

My organic-eating, organic-dressing, organic-playing kids sleep on regular old foam pillows. There, I said it: they spend half of their lives with cuddling up with chemical-filled foam. Not one of the greatest horrors of childhood, of course, but still, I’m so...

Simplisse Gia nursing pillow gives breastfeeding a whole new angle

by Kristen Chase | Baby

You would think that after breastfeeding four kids, it would be a little bit like riding a bicycle. And in my head, it has been. But for my body? No way. Ouch! Yes, even a fourth-time breastfeeder still uses her pillow, except my old faithful has now been replaced...

Pillow Pets – The cool, cotton, fair trade kind

by Cool Mom Team | Toys + Playthings

I’m fortunate to have a daughter who takes violin right next to the Blabla Kids storefront in Atlanta, so every week, I poke my head in to say hello to their lovely staff and design team, and take a peek at what’s new. And just wait until you see the...

Handmade pillows to make you smile.

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor

With a new couch on the way (yippee!) I’m preparing to say goodbye to the saggy, dog-scented, claw-worn monstrosity. It’s easy. Trust me. One of the fun things: Shopping for new throw pillows. I’m thinking with a red TV and entertainment console and...

Give me some robot love!

by Elizabeth | Toys + Playthings

As a mom of two girls, I haven’t had the pleasure of exploring any of the typical themes for boys’ bedrooms, like cars, boats, fish and monsters and I’m fine with that. However, robots, at least in my mind, are cool for anyone. I am all over these...

What could be uglier than an Uglydoll? An Uglypillow!

by Elizabeth | Art + Decor

I love the new Uglypillows from Uglydoll. Perhaps it brings out the motherly instinct in me? A face that only a mother could love? Oh, no. I hope this isn’t a throw back to my awkward years. Do you think the Uglypillows would be the last to be picked for...

Nesting with beautiful throw pillows

by Cool Mom Team | Living

We all should know by now that birds are the new black. Or maybe the old black? It’s hard to say. But I’d imagine that looking back on this decade, we’ll equate bird motifs with the french poodles from the 50’s and happy faces from the...
