More coolness from recent weeks…
Greek yogurt that’s made for kids, but will most likely be devoured by parents
I'm a huge fan of Greek yogurt, and apparently I'm not alone. It has a creamier texture and the perfect hint of tang, and it also happens to have a ton of calcium and protein making it a staple in my fridge for a healthy meal on the go. And who's on the go more than...
Olivia – the book becomes a show becomes a book
We're huge Olivia fans 'round these parts - the book is a well-worn favorite at bedtime, and the Olivia TV series is a special treat. So I was so happy to see a new book hit the shelves recently starring our favorite difficult swine - Olivia Acts Out. This story is...
Sexy nursing bras for Valentine’s Day — or any day
Since the first time I breastfed back in 2004, nursing bras have come a verrrrry long way from the boring hefty brassiere I was stuck with. Now you even can snazz things up with a little satin and lace. Perennial nursing bra fave Bravado! Designs has added a sexier...
Wearing 77 hearts on your sleeve
Valentine's Day or not, I am so taken with the new heart pajamas from Kideko, it's almost a shame that they're designed to be worn in the dark.The color is wildly vibrant in person, reminiscent of European brands like Kit+Lili and Plastisock. And the cotton jersey is...
Taking a bite out of love
Our love for the creative handmade wooden teethers from Little Sapling Toys runs deep, and this adorable American Sign Language "I love you" teether is no exception. And just in time for Valentine's Day to boot.Using reclaimed or FSC certified hardwood that's sanded...
An auction to raise money for Haiti. Get something great while doing something great
What happens when some of the most creative bloggers set their minds to raising money for Haiti? Only an auction filled with incredible artwork, handmade toys, clothing, and plenty more we'd like to own even without knowing all the proceeds are going to a cause that's...
Fancy Nancy meets Bob Ross
Okay, friends, we're going to put a happy little flower right here, just a sparkly little daisy....(Come on, I'm not the only Bob Ross fan here right?)If you've ever looked at a cute hair clip only to say, "I can make that myself!" (but you never do), then you're...
Gold keepsake lockets, now free
We're always excited to learn when there's something new going on at The Fine Art of Family, one of our favorite-est ever independent designers of heirloom keepsake jewelry. Because it's inevitably something we will covet. But while not all of it is within everyone's...
Whatchoo talkin’ bout, Emma?
I am dying over the awesomeness that is the "Say What" personalized stationery gift sets from past CMP pick, Just Jenn Designs. Just email the designer a good headshot of your child (or dog or BFF) that can be easily silhouetted, and she'll send you back personalized...
If you didn’t want to eat up your kids before, these clothes may very well inspire you to.
The new spring 2010 line from Masala Baby is fusion at its finest. A little bit of the New York urban vibe mixed with a lot of Indian spiciness and tradition. Blended together, they create one of the coolest kids clothing collections I've ever feasted my eyes upon....
Atlantis Resort Bahamas – Disney meets Vegas meets pruney fingers
All things being equal, I will admit I enjoy reviewing warm beachy family resorts more than, say, iPhone apps. So when I had the opportunity to check out the new Kids Club at the Atlantis Resort Bahamas last week on a press trip with my four year-old daughter -- and...
Plush explorer friends, beyond Dora
We love wooden toys, but let's face it, there's often more room in our kids' hearts (and hands) for those that are cuddly, plush and less likely to leave a mark when you fall asleep on top of one. Evidently the eco-minded designers of Noferin agreed, and adapted their...
The baby bibs for full contact eaters
The more time I spend around other people's babies, the more I realize how lucky I was that my own weren't the types to end up with more peas on their bodies than in their mouths at meal time. For those kids who like to get a little more Jackson Pollock with their...
Love notes you’ll love
Are you stuck in a never-ending search for Valentine's Day cards that don't embarrass you to send to anyone over the age of five? Let's just say glossy, cheap, mass produced images of kittens tangled in yarn don't always convey the message for...
Baby thigh highs. For real.
So when I first saw the email from Jennifer Dutcher asking us to check out her new business called Rock-a-thigh Baby, I admit to having visions of baby high heels and feather boas. On the contrary, this mom of four has created a pretty cool baby legwarmer and tights...
Many ways to say I love you. All of them sterling.
After yet another visit to the Beehive Co-op in Atlanta, Kristen ran home to tell me about some great new finds, and I'm starting to get jealous that the one in New York is up in Westchester and not in the city. Or better, Brooklyn. Right on my block.I was really...
A Ray of sunshine in nursery decor.
I hate my hand-me-down crib with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, which is why it's in pieces in the attic while my kid sleeps in an old pack-and-play the color of used hospital scrubs. In my dreams, I've got something from Muu Furniture - I'm thinking white with...
Rolling out the big American welcome mat for Tommee Tippee
Expat mums in the US or those just enamored (or enamoured?) of European baby products will be delighted to know that Tommee Tippee, Britain's #1 megabrand of sippies and bottles is about to flood American malls - or at least those with a Toys R Us in them. It's nice...

Looking to jazz up your kid’s room? Put a sock (monkey) in it
I've had a thing for sock monkeys ever since my mother-in-law gave me the one she'd made for my husband when he was a baby. They're some kind of magical combination of goofy, cheerful cuddliness and retro-chic all in one. I always figured I'd try to make one for my...
