The Perfect Gift for All Your Flaky Friends
Before kids, I used to custom select the perfect little whatever for every gal on my Christmas list. After kids? So not happening. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stick them all with impersonal gift cards and call it a day either. Idea: The luxe body butters from...
Genius Baby Clothes. Really.
We parents often have no problem sticking our kids in clothes that proclaim cutie or sweetie-pie or (gak) future model. But when it comes to proclaiming their obvious genetically-determined intellectual superiority, for some reason we stop short.No longer. The...
Put Yo Baby on Yo Hip
I can't tell you how much the pouch sling saved my life during the first five months of my son's life-- especially when I wanted to nurse in public. But carrying him in it now at ten months is a bit of a struggle. Plus, I always feel like he's going to fall right out....
The perfect combination
Aside from the terribly unoriginal "two of something gift, I had absolutely no idea what to get my friends' twin girls -- until I found the handmade PB & J necklace at the charmingly named Violet Gumdrops.It's a perfect alternative to the oddly popular broken...
No Bells, No Whistles
When I was a kid, we didn't have any animatronic plush animals with voice chips or virtual reality video games. We played with sticks and rocks and we liked it. Okay so maybe not so much sticks and rocks. But I do remember that Mousetrap was considered high-tech next...
Mommy’s Little Headbanger
If there's one lesson that I've learned about being a mom in 2007 it's that I have layette options. Lots of them. Just ask baby bearers from the good old nineties about trying to find a Vivenne Westwood-style onesie or socks that didn't have cutesie pink bows on...
A Super Eco-Conscious Pick, Even for the Super-Eco Conscious
While I do my part to recycle and use cloth grocery bags, I am definitely killing a few trees (okay maybe more than a few) with my oodles of Christmas cards this year. Oh how my eco-conscience disapproves. As an alternative, check out the wooden cards from Night...
Hungarian Beauty: Beyond Zsa Zsa
As moms, we all know that personal hygiene isn't what it used to be in our pre-baby days. Needless to say, regular pedicures and bi-monthly facials are a thing of the past for me. But hey, a mama needs her pampering. Darn it. And I've been taking matters into my own...
I’d like to buy a vowel
Calling all word freaks who happen to dig cool jewelry: We've just found a loquacious charmer which speaks volumes about your percipience. A piece more rare than kunzites and zeugmas that won't cost qintars and zolaties. It's a Scrabble charm that doubles as a smart...
The Best Wrapped Package of All
So we swore we weren't covering any cutesie Christmas onesies this year. No Baby's First Christmas shirts, no Jingle Bells jingly caps, no Bwing Me Pwesents Santa bib. (Eek.)And then we found this clever little holiday design snapsuit from My Rock Star Baby. And we...
