Flippin’ Out
The toothbrush holder is only one small germy step above laying your toothbrush on the bathroom sink. But since trashing ours and swapping out for a Flipper, I'm feeling way more confident that my daughter's toothbrush is actually cleaning her teeth instead of...
The Sweat-Free, Hands-Free Baby Wrap
I'm a devoted babywearer from way back, and for me, the appeal is convenience, not crunch. Being able to use both hands while still holding my infant securely? That's pure genius no matter how much granola people think you eat. But the key word here is convenience. If...

Reading For All
I recently had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Felicia Steves-Niles and was thrilled to learn that she was not only a cool mom, but a cool mom who ran her own cool online shop which sucked me into a marathon browsing session. Update: this site is no longer in...
Endorsed by Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Not every kid needs a fancy Easter outfit. In fact, those scary pint-size bow ties and the dresses with frills upon frills upon crinolines might just make too much of a statement for some little bunnies. If you're of the less is more camp, you will adore this Organic...
G is for Green with a Giggle
If there's a bandwagon to jump on when it comes to kid's gear and clothing, going green is definitely the one to pick. Particularly if you've got any photographic evidence of yourself in the 80s. Heck, I owe the ozone just on hairspray usage alone.But then there...
