mOmma cups wobble but they don’t fall down
You know how you can tell when your kid is using a really cool sippy cup? When you hear they sell them in the MOMA design store. Oh, and when they're imported from Italy, of course. The new mOmma line of baby feeding products fits the bill on both counts. But it's not...
Hat season is upon us.
One night this week, a cold breeze wafted through the window, really for the first time, and I was struck with the horror that it's October now. And soon I would have to get the kids off to school with more than the backpacks on their backs. I'm already steeling...
When you wish upon a star
Just when I thought my daughter had sort of outgrown the wand phase, a few days ago I watched her snatch up a tulle covered one and attempt to pawn off a pointer to her younger friend. You can be the "teacher fairy", she said. Not bad, huh?But with that in mind, I...
“Cool stroller liner!” “I know.”
Last summer, my three-year-old's black car seat was always too hot and she told me so in no uncertain terms ("Hot! Too hot!"). Fast forward to next summer and I will be using a Cool Mee seat liner by Meeno Babies. The Meeno Babies car seat, stroller, or infant...

Deep breaths. I am in a tizzy over the new Kat shoes from See Kai Run's Smaller collection. I can see it now: My little girl's cute, chubby legs in white tights and these classic, navy Mary Jane shoes with a twist. I love the heart shape on the Kat Mary Janes carrying...
Everything is better with a gorilla
Having small children underfoot can make even the simplest task complicated and/or maddening. But did you ever think that having a gorilla around could help bring much-needed balance and tranquility to your life?Okay. Fair enough. Me neither-- until now. Everything Is...
A minimalist Halloween
While my oldest would just as soon cover herself in a head to toe costume for Halloween, my other little one would is more in the "naked baby" camp. Amazing how kids are so different. So if you've got a kiddo who's not so into the whole dressing up thing, or just need...
