With a son who is obsessed with all things that go, it's not a surprise that his favorite shirts are covered in adorable little planes, trains, and automobiles. And now, a new addition: The ultimate motorcycle shirt from our good friends…
Yes, there's the scent of their yummy heads and soft skin, but babies do a lot of stinky things. But using a big fake room scent machine just doesn't seem like the healthiest choice, nor does spraying a ton of chemicals into the air. If …
When I first saw the gorgeous Harper Stroller blanket by Serena & Lily, I knew it'd be the perfect accessory for any pink-cheeked baby girl. Fluffy and soft on one side, silky smooth on the other, it almost makes me wish I had a newborn …
Holy cow people, do you have some amazing stories. It was tough trying to pick just three winners of the $5000 tech makeover from Intel, but pick we did. Without further ado (because we know you're dying to know)... the winners . Congrat…
Back when I was shopping for nursery furniture, eco-friendly meant the crib wasn't painted with lead-based paint. Well looky looky how much has changed in a relatively short period of time. Today, cribs with "a conscience" are becoming m…
I hate hiking up my shirt to breastfeed my baby almost as much as I loathe the nursing tees with the overhanging half shirt, no matter how convenient and discreet they might be. But that all changed when I was introduced to Momzelle Orga…
As my son marches out of toddlerhood, I find myself swooning over clothes that bridge the gap between baby and big boy. Take this pint-sized black and white bowler shirt by LilaFrances , just one of the adorable options at the shop. This…
Now that I'm a nutrition-obsessed mom, I get where those raisin people were coming from that I made fun of when I was trick or treating as a kid. They didn't plan on being the lamest house on the block (although they were), but it sure i…
Wha-at? Kids pajamas that are cute but not cutesie? Why yes indeedy. They, along with earthy onesies, tees, and really wearable little dresses round out the collection of ?l?phant Couture , a label so new it's still got that new e-boutiq…
Considering my son spent the first eight months of his life in a sling, there's no doubt my new daughter will be enjoying the same comforts. But now that I'm chasing after two other ones, I'm looking at options that give me a bit more mo…
I'm in favor of pulling out all the stops to decorate my children's rooms beautifully. But since a little redecorating is inevitable between preschool and high school, that means choosing furniture with some built-in flexibility. Woodwor…
When it comes to interior design, let's just say that my spirit is willing but my flesh is weak. I admire fabulous design, but possess neither the knack nor the bottomless pocketbook to bring it to life without some serious help. If I we…
If you want to make a statement, and you're not above using your baby as a billboard (we're not), try +E (positive energy) Awareness Apparel. These soft, 100% certified organic cotton tees and onesies are designed to deliver the social, …
Considering I'm on my third child, I'm probably not the strongest candidate for a stroller liner. But when I got my hands on the beautifully crafted ones from BooYah Baby --funny name, cute stuff--I had one of those defining "how did I e…
Like it's not cool enough that she's married to Christopher Guest and has started in A Fish Called Wanda , and exemplifies the phrase "hot mama"--now Jamie Lee Curtis has an entire children's book library to her name, and they're all ter…
I used to be really good at remembering names and faces. A little stalkerish even. But then I had children and a good percentage of my brain cells expired from lack of sleep. Now I'm lucky if I remember my own name, let alone the names o…
Last weekend I had to buy baby gifts for two kids who are now toddlers, because the pressure I put on myself to buy something so useful and practical and cool and life-changing is so great that I end up procrastinating. For more than a y…
I'm happy to say that these adorable little Halloween goodies from New Hampshire's L.A. Burdick's Chocolate are definitely treats and not tricks. Each ghostly center is made up of the kind of gourmet hazelnut and dark chocolate ganache t…
One of the great things about having a baby now as compared to even four years ago when I had my first is the ton of choices parents have as far as nursery decor. Take the mobile, which is no longer something you just buy in a themed set…
When I lived in the frozen north, my favorite part of warmer weather was definitely the bright colors and flounces of my daughter's spring wardrobe. But that was before I discovered Kit + Lili and realized that all that vibrancy can be a…
While I'll happily spend hours browsing through all types of stationery, searching for just the right mix of simplicity and elegance, greeting cards almost always leave me cold. Blame it on years of searching for some idealistic notion o…
If only there was a way to get fabulous clothing, accessories, and other merchandise while helping others in need . Oh, wait--there is. Shopping at Nest is truly the best of both worlds -- the money from your purchases of various artisan…
Diaper bags are getting less and less diaper bag-y by the minute, which is just the way we like 'em. The latest entrant into the Project Runway-ready bag category are the new Street Chic bags from longtime CMP fave, Boujie Baby . The two…
About three days after I gave birth to my daughter, my friend Lisa brought over some dinner. I can still remember the exact menu: Bulgarian Stuffed Peppers, salad and a loaf of crusty bread. In my post-birthing daze, it was the single be…
