Sweet slippers for your special sprite
Up until now, I thought of kids' slippers as a blah winter afterthought or last minute stocking stuffer. But once I saw my own little fairy stomping around the house in these Pixie Slippers from Organic Echo, I realized that they're not just foot warmers. They can be...
Busty mamas of the world, unite and take over
As I recently told a reader who commented on a post about maternity lingerie, we laugh when we receive size 32A nursing bras for review. Um, yeah, I'll have my four year-old try that on for you, stat. We busty girls have it harder than you think! And while it's...
Power to the people (which is you) with Kickstarter
It's easy to feel hopeless in today's world, like one person can't make a difference in the face of earthquakes and oil spills and families without health insurance. That's why we're so excited about Kickstarter, a website connecting do-gooders with vetted, legitimate...
Tools for those a little green around the grills
Yes it's kind of a cliche that all dads like barbecuing and therefore all need grill tools for Father's Day. But at least in my family, all the dads do like barbecuing and need grill tools for Father's Day, so there. I love the look of all the eco-friendly grill tools...
Possibly the coolest thing to put a drink on, ever.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani and I have something in common.
So what do I have in common with some of the coolest celebrity moms in America? And no, it's not rock-hard abs; it's an appreciation of Organically Raised: Conscious Cooking for Babies and Toddlers, an intriguing new "cookbook with a conscience," by Bohemian Baby...
Oh the cuteness of denim baby bums
If you needed any more evidence that denim is hot again, take a look at the new denim diaper cover I just spotted at babyGap. I love the dark wash with the slight fade on the bum, and that little pocket in back is too cute for words. It would look super swell on a...
The Marte brings you shopping to benefit schools? How cool.
I'm what you'd call a crazy flea market/craft fair/art festival devotee. I could spend every weekend seeking out cool local artisans in church basements and school parking lots--provided there's also a lemonade stand or cider donuts so I can bribe my kids to join me....
A baby gift for the stars
Even after we compile our favorite baby shower gifts of the year in our Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide, it's so fun spending the rest of the next year looking for cool new ones. The kind that make you go wow. Which is just what I did when I stumbled onto these...
Does a nursing bra equal bliss? Relatively speaking, yes.
We, like everyone else in the world, have long been fans of Bravado! bras and their well-priced, comfortable nursing bras. But with the launch of their new Bliss Maternity Bra, I think they definitely upped the ante. I'm a huge fan of soft-cup nursing bras, mostly...
