For over 2000 years at least, civilizations rose and fell, wars were won and lost-- all for tea. And now, it's a just another rack of brightly colored, shrink-wrapped boxes at the supermarket. That's a damn shame. But Damn Fine Tea is tr…
I don't care if Toronto hasn't quite gotten the spring memo yet-- I'm already dreaming about park visits and picnic lunches. And when I spotted this adorable insulated picnic lunch bag at ModCloth, I fell in love. And I knew right away t…
There is no joy like a frozen hollow chocolate rabbit. All year, I long for crisp milk chocolate that crumbles in with every bite. But have you ever wondered why they're hollow? Have you ever wondered what happened to their... BRAAAAAAAI…
Does your child leap tall buildings in a single bound? Is she faster than a speeding bullet or sometimes confused with a bird or a plane? I know all about this phenomenon because my daughter is a super girl who also demands super hero co…
If your little guy is anything like mine, his wardrobe is stocked with a lot of the standard-issue dude-themed clothes: frogs, trucks, monkeys. You know. So I thought this new idea for a mini-man's dresser was especially brilliant. In fa…
It's sleek, sporty, and goes from backpack to messenger bag in less than thirty seconds. But, unlike those $60,000 convertibles, it won't mess up your hair, and you probably won't swallow a bug while using it. Oh, and it's called Annie. …
Here in Atlanta where I live, the weather has been nice since the beginning of March, which means my kids have already exhausted Hide n' Seek, Freeze Tag, and two entire boxes of sidewalk chalk. So when I saw this book when I was at the …
The Movement edition stroller, in case the name isn't clear enough, is all about getting moms moving and keeping babies comfortable, making it easier to be active with baby, no matter what the weather. (Because we all know how a wet, unc…
Just when I thought an artist couldn't do anything new or inspired to the good old but very played out alphabet decor, artist Lorena Siminovich of Petit Collage wows me with her brand new poster prints. These new ABC poster prints are ma…
You know what I've always wondered about Easter baskets? Where people store them every other day of the year. Because if there's one thing that's not exactly storage-friendly, it's a big, round basket with a gigantic handle on top. This …
You might remember when we told you about YesKidzCan!, the folks who are helping your kids figure out ways they can start changing the world for the better right now. We love their mission and their Act of Kindness kits, but now they're …
Even vegetarians can get behind this pick. Because the well-plated rabbits that have captured my heart are from our clever friends at Le Papier Studio-- you know, the folks who brought us that ingenious Easter Egg Silhouette tutorial and…
At this point, it's not news that Target is spot-on in the designer collaboration department. They seem to keep churning out awesome new collection after awesome new collection with the hottest kid brands around. And now it's Appaman's t…
I love to relive my kids' momentous birth day with my husband, my kids and pretty much anyone who will listen. (Admit it--I'm not alone here.) So for all of us who are birth date obsessed, we've found a pretty cool keepsake. These adorab…
I'm a big fan of all the members-only online shopping sites. I've bought many outfits, handbags and even a vacation through them, but now I can expand my shopping arena to the world of art. Real art. As in, by real artists. And the best …
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 unti…
Remember back when lunch boxes were actually metal? I had a Holly Hobby one I adored (no cracks about my age, please!), though if I'd had the option of having my name on the box I probably would've happily chucked Holly for that. Name Yo…
Here's something we love: Now through April 29, you and your little ones can cast votes for the finalists in the Children's Choice Book Awards . What a cool way to get your kid involved in picking new titles to grab from the library. The…
My son, like so many kids, has a thing for robots, but the first few realistic robot toys he received were greeted with suspicion and trepidation: Why are those eyes blinking? and--- ack!---will it talk at night when I'm in bed?!? So, bo…
M y daughter is turning three soon, and I want to put together a dress up box for her. Any ideas for a great Etsy costume shop? She wants an astronaut costume but I need it to be something she can get on and off herself. Any other ideas?…
I'd have to say that cleaning the kitchen has always been one of my least fashionable moments. I'm usually in an old t-shirt, with a scowl on my face and schvitz on my brow. But a new designer sponge (that's right, designer sponge!) may …
When you think of a baby rattle as a keepsake gift, silver is probably the first material that pops to mind. But I've just found a wooden one that's so gorgeous, it's giving silver a run for its money. The Timbur Baby Rattle combines tra…
Unless I've got a friend who isn't telling me something, I have no need for baby shower invitations any time soon. I'm not hosting one--that I know of. But when the time comes, I'm so excited to use one of the new baby shower invitations…
Of all the Jewish holidays, I'd imagine Passover is the one many kids love best. If you're my kids, then it's like having crackers and grape juice for dinner. Dream holiday! I always love finding fun ways to get them involved , and have …
