More coolness from recent weeks…
The Easter Bunny probably hates storing baskets, too
You know what I've always wondered about Easter baskets? Where people store them every other day of the year. Because if there's one thing that's not exactly storage-friendly, it's a big, round basket with a gigantic handle on top. This is why I adore the beautiful...
Hey kids – Go play outside!
Here in Atlanta where I live, the weather has been nice since the beginning of March, which means my kids have already exhausted Hide n' Seek, Freeze Tag, and two entire boxes of sidewalk chalk. So when I saw this book when I was at the Mom 2.0 Summit in New Orleans...
Here come the new and improved ABCs
Just when I thought an artist couldn't do anything new or inspired to the good old but very played out alphabet decor, artist Lorena Siminovich of Petit Collage wows me with her brand new poster prints. These new ABC poster prints are making me wish I had another...
Bumbleride Movement Edition stroller has got it going on.
The Movement edition stroller, in case the name isn't clear enough, is all about getting moms moving and keeping babies comfortable, making it easier to be active with baby, no matter what the weather. (Because we all know how a wet, uncomfortable baby can ruin a good...

Now, kids can get paid to do good
You might remember when we told you about YesKidzCan!, the folks who are helping your kids figure out ways they can start changing the world for the better right now. We love their mission and their Act of Kindness kits, but now they're taking it even further. Check...
Nothing says spring like a bunny on your plate.
Even vegetarians can get behind this pick. Because the well-plated rabbits that have captured my heart are from our clever friends at Le Papier Studio-- you know, the folks who brought us that ingenious Easter Egg Silhouette tutorial and end up in our gift guides year...
Just the facts, Ma’am. On a onesie.
I love to relive my kids' momentous birth day with my husband, my kids and pretty much anyone who will listen. (Admit it--I'm not alone here.) So for all of us who are birth date obsessed, we've found a pretty cool keepsake. These adorable birth announcement onesies...
Thought you could never afford to be an art collector? Think again with Exhibition A.
I'm a big fan of all the members-only online shopping sites. I've bought many outfits, handbags and even a vacation through them, but now I can expand my shopping arena to the world of art. Real art. As in, by real artists. And the best part is, it won't break the...

Here's something we love: Now through April 29, you and your little ones can cast votes for the finalists in the Children's Choice Book Awards. What a cool way to get your kid involved in picking new titles to grab from the library.The categories are sorted by age,...
Metal lunch boxes like the olden days, only way cooler
Remember back when lunch boxes were actually metal? I had a Holly Hobby one I adored (no cracks about my age, please!), though if I'd had the option of having my name on the box I probably would've happily chucked Holly for that.Name Your Design is covering...
Pillow Pets – The cool, cotton, fair trade kind
I'm fortunate to have a daughter who takes violin right next to the Blabla Kids storefront in Atlanta, so every week, I poke my head in to say hello to their lovely staff and design team, and take a peek at what's new. And just wait until you see the cuteness that's...
Dress-up clothes? Reader Q + A
My daughter is turning three soon, and I want to put together a dress up box for her. Any ideas for a great Etsy costume shop? She wants an astronaut costume but I need it to be something she can get on and off herself. Any other ideas? -Alison Hi Alison, We love your...
The kinder, gentler (and recyclable!) robot toy
My son, like so many kids, has a thing for robots, but the first few realistic robot toys he received were greeted with suspicion and trepidation: Why are those eyes blinking? and---ack!---will it talk at night when I'm in bed?!? So, both he and I were so pleased to...
Baby shower invitations get even cooler.
Unless I've got a friend who isn't telling me something, I have no need for baby shower invitations any time soon. I'm not hosting one--that I know of. But when the time comes, I'm so excited to use one of the new baby shower invitations from Tiny Prints. They've...
A baby rattle keepsake in shining…wood
When you think of a baby rattle as a keepsake gift, silver is probably the first material that pops to mind. But I've just found a wooden one that's so gorgeous, it's giving silver a run for its money. The Timbur Baby Rattle combines traditional woodworking skills...
House cleaning – now fierce.
I'd have to say that cleaning the kitchen has always been one of my least fashionable moments. I'm usually in an old t-shirt, with a scowl on my face and schvitz on my brow. But a new designer sponge (that's right, designer sponge!) may actually make the whole...
The single coolest Haggadah for kids, ever
Of all the Jewish holidays, I'd imagine Passover is the one many kids love best. If you're my kids, then it's like having crackers and grape juice for dinner. Dream holiday! I always love finding fun ways to get them involved, and have recently found a Haggadah made...
New bunk beds from Oeuf take room-sharing to stylish new heights
Living in a big city has tons of benefits, but ample living space is not one of them. Which is why bunk beds are the urban dweller's most functional answer to shared bedrooms. It will certainly be the answer for my sons' room when the time comes. Sure, there are many...
Quick, easy ways to volunteer while the kids are young
This is National Volunteer Week, a time to think about all those ways you can use your spare time to help others through good deeds and hard work--unless you are like me, and that first sentence makes you spit out apologies about not having any time or money to do...
For the perfect travel toy for kids, just add water.
If you could see the ground-in crayon and magic marker stains all over the back seats of our minivan, you'd understand why I'm so fond of a cool portable drawing tablet that uses nothing more than water, and generates no mess at all. As with so many of the toys we...
