Petit Tresor for Target: cuteness and philanthropy go hand in hand
I just went through my little girl's infant clothes to give to my sister-in-law and wham... seeing those tiny bodysuits brought me back to those early days. I could still smell that baby smell and see her chubby little arms and legs in the teeny clothes. Of course, I...
Organic crib bedding for the wild at heart
When I planned my baby's nursery, I obsessed over the furniture, color scheme, storage ideas, art, hamper, family photos, plus which toys to display and which ones to put away. I thought about everything, except what moms think about these days--how and where to go...
Robeez goes organic
This week, I saw the cutest pair of Robeez baby shoes in a local boutique and I ran online to see what else they were up to. Boy the company has come a long way since my 5 year-old was a baby and your choices were basically the fire truck or the flower or the other...
Baby accessories that aren’t just for girls
I still remember falling in love with Bugalug accessories three years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. The adorable non-slip clips and headbands were the cutest I'd ever seen, made with trendy ribbon designs that were markedly cooler than all the pink...
Give your kids a cooler boost in the car
My son just got his first booster seat for the car. Long after many of his friends. Not because he's small. Just because I haven't been rushing to get him out of the old car seat. It's safe, it's functional and we like it. But there comes a time when every little boy...
An Elmo shirt even I can love
Given my general loathe for licensed character clothing, it's only fitting that my two-year-old has decided she will only wear clothes with Elmo on them. Makes perfect sense considering she has never actually watched Sesame Street. Ah, toddlers. But since finding this...
Maia – Not your average yogurt
I'd like to think of myself as somewhat of a yogurt connoisseur. I grew up on Dannon and over the years have tried everything from the healthy and organic to the junky and gimmicky. And apparently I've passed on the yogurt gene to my son because the first thing he...
Holiday cocktail napkins that say it all
This year I'll be on crutches trying to pull together the perfect holiday meal, which I've already realized is going to have to be super "good enough." So, I've decided I should focus on cocktails, and lots of them. These fun cocktail napkins sum up in five words what...
Designer inspiration, if not designer purchases
Since having kids, my insatiable hunger for all things art, fashion, and design has been unsatisfied. And rightfully so. I barely have time to eat an actual breakfast, let alone devour the piles of magazines I once looked to for inspiration for my spending habits. But...
Martha Stewart makes cookies in your kitchen
Every year, I make two kinds of holiday cookies from recipes that have been passed down from my mom. But yummy as the traditional family recipes are, I'm ready to branch out from the same old pecan balls and sugar cookies, and try and start my own new tradition. Now,...
