Toy Stables For Kids Who Aren’t Horsing Around (Heh)
As a young girl, I was a die-hard collector of lifelike plastic horse models and gear, but the best accessory of them all was my wooden stable, lovingly handmade by my grandfather and accurate in every detail. Black Beauty was thrilled with his lavish digs. If there's...
There’s a reason this baby organizer is called essential
Even though my ever-supportive editors, Liz and Kristen, would never call me on it, I'm definitely off my game as I adjust to life with three kids. [Ed note: You're doing great, Julie!] I have difficulty remembering to take my daily vitamin, let alone tracking of...
Chalk Talk
I'm a firm believer that well-behaved children should also be allowed in restaurants that don't encourage them to color on the tables. But if you're willing to take that leap, then it's up to you to keep the kids occupied in ways that don't require a legion of busboys...
A High Chair That Grows With Your Kid: Magic? No, Mutsy.
I've definitely had several registry regrets, like my high chair for example - that ugly, cumbersome, "good for only 2 years maybe" high chair. Not one of my finer decisions. But at least I have an excuse for that choice because back then, there was no Easy...
If the Easter Bunny Used Labels
As the mom of two little ones these days, I'm probably not going to go overboard with the Easter baskets. But the fantastic Easter tags from Tattered Tags, a paper shop owned by designer Brooke Campbell, almost make me want to. These vintage-style, hand cut and...
I Am Woman, See Me Wear Metallics
I've never been one to thrust all my eggs into one basket, so why would I toss all my baby's belongings into one diaper bag? Truth be told, I've got one for almost every mood and outfit. And so, I give you the bag that will have you counting the days until...
Argyle Goes Rock ‘n Roll
We can't look anywhere without stumbling into something argyle for kids this Spring. Take these hot argyle shirts from new mom-pop run label, Modestod. A bit more practical than your run-of-the-mill argyle sweater vests and definitely more rock 'n roll, these super...
Easter Baskets That the Tooth Fairy Approves of Too
Not every mom is a fan of doling out the high fructose corn syrup or imitation chocolate treats on Easter. It doesn't make you a Sanctimommy - just a little more responsible than those of us who keep the crap around the house as an excuse to eat it ourselves. Behold,...
The Perfect Shoes for Laps Around the Coffee Table
My little 10 month-old track star can do about a 6 minute mile on hands and knees, if only she's got the right traction. So who am I to hold her back? Time to transition from the cute crib shoes to something with a little more stick-to-the-floor action. The...
A Pirate’s Life for Me
While my husband is definitely on the conservative side, I tend to push the envelope when it comes to what our kids wear. He's been willing to concede on a few of my more interesting choices, but he has yet to give in to the now nearly over skull and crossbones fad.I...
