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...

I’m going to Quash those germs right off of their hands
I'm a bit of a germ freak. Okay, a lot of a germ freak. Like the kind of person who has about twelve bottles of hand sanitizer on the go at any given time. And kids who use the word "sanitizer" like it's a normal thing for them to be saying. (Yes, I'm more than a...

Classic children’s books that help you listen with your eyes
Love it or hate it ( and we know the book is a bit polarizing with our readers!), there's a reason Goodnight Moon has been around since the late 1940's and is still a favorite today; there is something calming and beautiful about the repetitive, rhythmic prose that...

Indie lullabies? That would be a yes.
Going back a few years, I held fast to the belief that if I was going to be stuck out of my bed in the middle of the night rocking an infant, I deserved to play a little night music that would be awesome and make us both (oh please, oh please) fall asleep. So...

Piperlime goes pregnant
I admit that I'm a sucker for a fancy pair of jeans, mostly because I've found over the years that they just wear and fit better. And after almost four kids on an already hard to fit body, those things are really hard to find at budget prices. So I guess it's no...

The game of cute eats
Sure, as a seasoned mama, you know that even the cutest plate won't keep the applesauce out of baby's hair and the peas out of her nose, but hope springs eternal. And really, what makes a better baby gift than adorable tot-sized tableware? French Bull's latest...

She’s got le-e-egs.
Fun prints on tights are in this fall, as we've been told by oh, pretty much every fashion guru anywhere. (No, we don't have a direct line to every fashion guru everywhere but we read a lot!) I love the idea of pairing more neutral color palates with funkier prints;...

Puzzles with multiple soutions
My kids are all puzzle fans, as evidenced by the thousands of cardboard and wooden pieces strewn about my floor at any given time of the day. But we've yet to see anything like the new multiple solution shape puzzles from one of our fave kid's gear and furniture...

Back to school clothes for under $20 that look like you spent a whole lot more.
As of today, I officially have two children in school. (Sniff!) So we did some serious back to school shopping a few days ago and learned there was much awesomeness to be had at Old Navy. It's a lucky coincidence that this week the shop is one of Cool Mom Picks'...
