Hot for purple
I still remember the moment I found the perfect little purple striped cotton girls dress from Petit Bateau. It was a splurge for sure. But I was pregnant with #2, and knew I'd get a whole lot of use out of it two times around. (You can even see it on my daughter on my...
Now that’s my kind of tea party
I don't get to take a bath in my Jacuzzi tub very often, mainly because it's full of tiny little teacups and saucers and one random pink pig who, I'm told, likes hot chocolate and cake. My kids have pretty much taken over the tub that made me want to buy the house in...
Time to start thinking Halloween? UNICEF is.
When I was a kid, we carried our Halloween treats in pillow cases because we were greedy little goblins who didn't mind having candy-corn stuck in our hair later on. But again, my kids get to have all the fun with none of the hideous polyester paisley. UNICEF, which...
So let’s talk Jeggings, and how to make them work for your kids.
We know that "Jeggings" are pretty much the fashion word for fall, and while we will probably be making fun of ourselves in ten years for it, we're kind of in love with them right now. Especially on kids. My own girls have a couple of pairs these days and I love how...
Ooh, Lala
Everybody goes gaga for a squishy new baby. Not only do they look like Winston Churchill and smell like heaven, but you can dress them up the cutest little thumb-sized shoes without the scuffing and "Oops, we left it at the playground" issues you get once they start...
A book to make the bedtime routine easier on both of you.
I still crack up when people find a blog post of mine about sleep and babies, and ask me for advice. Me? Me who still, five years later, can't get my kids into a normal bedtime routine? Me, who still has to sleep with a three year-old's feet up my nose most nights? So...

Beautiful French bibs with a beautiful eco story too.
I've had a rash of friends and family having babies lately (welcome to the world little Drew Micah!) so I've had baby gifts on the brain quite a bit. I tend to get something off the registry for the shower, plus a little something-something extra, like a fun bib that...
The wooden elephant in the room
I'm having a thing for wooden decor lately; not sure if it's the fall in the air, or the fact that I spent way too long at Bo Concept last weekend drooling over dining room tables. Either way, I keep reimagining my apartment with more wooden accents. So when I saw the...
