Give Me Liberty!

Give Me Liberty!

I'm always on the look out for something to do with my favorite pictures, other than frame them. Custom bags, jewelry - you name it, I've got it. But puzzles? Not until now.While it's easy to be mesmerized by Liberty's unique vintage children's puzzles with images...

Lady in Waiting

Lady in Waiting

We've seen a whole lot of handmade felt hair clips, but none that made us grin quite like The Little Lady Clip at Lily-Pie designs. Let's just say Kristen and I had a grand old time coming up with other names for it - although granted The Bathroom Door Clip really...

Gotta Get a Dwell

Gotta Get a Dwell

A reader recently emailed asking about cool toiletry cases for kids. My answer was that most of them are pretty lame, and you're better off sticking with something basic from your local CVS. (Not that he knows it though - my email bounced back twice. Grrr...)But that...

Mr. Destructo

Mr. Destructo

If there's one huge difference between my son and my daughter, other than the obvious, of course, it's that my son has a penchant for total destruction unlike anything I've ever seen. And so what's more perfect than this Robot Destroyer tee from mom-owned...

Keeping Clips From Getting Clipped

Keeping Clips From Getting Clipped

No one tells you when you start buying cute hair clips for your daughter--probably long before she'll even keep them in her hair for more than two seconds--that you might want to consider some way to put them away properly each night. As in, not a pile on the changing...

Little Details Making a Big Difference

Little Details Making a Big Difference

My husband decided to invite a few more people than I had intended (um, that would be none) to my son's first birthday celebration. Instead of freaking out and slapping together some terrible goody bag, the personalized favor tags from Cocoblu Studio turned...

Little Love Monkeys

Little Love Monkeys

I know a few moms who think that Valentine's day is strictly for adult-sized people. But knowing how much my toddler adores holidays, there's no way I could leave her out entirely while her dad and I pop the Moet and scarf down truffles. If you've got a pint-size...

The Eco Nursery is Here and It’s Not Crunchy At All

The Eco Nursery is Here and It’s Not Crunchy At All

When I hear that baby furniture is eco-conscious, I admit the first image that comes to mind is some unfinished knotty pine something or other that would look more at home in a hunting lodge than a modern nursery. But then I got an early look at the new offerings from...

The Friendly Skies Just Got Friendlier

The Friendly Skies Just Got Friendlier

I've just returned from our first ever overseas trip with two children in tow. Thankfully (seriously, thank you powers-that-be) they were both exemplary travelers. While I'd like to think that my stellar parenting skills are entirely responsible, I have to throw a hat...

One Sling Fits All

One Sling Fits All

With all the love that I have professed for the pouch sling, it definitely has one downside: It's made to fit you and only you, which isn't so great when it's your spouse's turn to take the sleepy baby off your hands. So I was definitely intrigued by the Baby...
