More coolness from recent weeks…
The best car seats for children – also some of the coolest.
Now that Wize has announced the winners of their best car seats for children, we're glad to see two of our own favorites made the list: The Britax Roundabout and the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1. Both of which we love because they're safe, they're easy to install, and...
Socks in Box
I'm constantly on the lookout for fun little gender-neutral baby gifts. (I mean, what is it with all these moms who "want to be surprised" anyway? Can't everyone be as impatient as I am?) One of my favorite new finds are the adorable bamboo-blend newborn sock sets...
Foodzie is like Etsy for food. I’m doomed.
Do you hear that sound? It's my hips expanding.I know I'm going to rue the day I discovered Foodzie, the marketplace for hand-crafted and artisan foods. Whereas my resolve is unwavering when I pass the fun-size candy bars in the supermarket aisle (Full of chemicals! I...
Oh! what a cool book
Browsing the Picasso Museum gift shop in Barcelona last week (I know, totally rubbing it in) I came across the most wonderful little book called Oh! by Josse Goffin. I had an idea that my two year-old wouldn't be able to put it down and indeed, that's just how it's...

All-natural gummies that won’t get your house TP’d on Halloween
My kids still recall with disdain the house that gave out unsweetened popcorn balls and apples one year for Halloween. I understand the desire to offer something less junky, but a safer bet against toilet paper in my trees might be some of the all-natural, Vitamin...
Gender neutral baby bedding? Reader Q&A
I just found out we're expecting a boy who'll be sharing a room with our 3-year-old daughter, who will be 3 years old, so I need to buy bedding for both of them. Any suggestions on where to find bedding that will look great in a boy baby/girl preschooler shared...

Jade’s ToyBox delivers boxes of pure happiness
Jade's Toy Box no longer exists I'm starting to think that group gifts are the way to go. Chip in with a bunch of other folks, and get someone one seriously awesome something-or-other that they'll really appreciate. And I think that's what Jade's ToyBox was thinking...
Top babymoon destinations for that last adults-only hurrah
I think all mamas-to-be should try to treat themselves to a day or more of ahhhhhh before their lives change forever. Its one of those things people suggest you do -- and for good reason. So if you're up for a babymoon or a final weekend with the girls, we've found a...
It’s baby toe warming season again.
The latest dispatch in the You Get What You Pay For department: The stunning new Kahu winter baby boots from Nui Organics, the wonderful New Zealand company that creates beautiful items from organic Merino wool using sustainable farming practices. These booties are no...
Just imagine Johnny Cash pushing a Bugaboo. That’s Hullabaloo.
I don't yee-haw or two-step, although I may start after spinning Hullabaloo's country-fried, folksy kids' music CD, High Roller, a few more times. With my vote for coolest CD cover art of the year, High Roller gets toes tapping with plenty of banjo and fiddle but what...
Great adoption gift? Reader Q&A
My husband and I are pursuing domestic adoption and hope to be matched with a birth mother soon. We know that it is traditional to give the birth mother a gift after the baby is born, but we have no idea what to get for a very brave woman that we will barely know, but...
Born with a pewter spoon
When I first had a baby, I kind of thought that a baby feeding set was one of those silly, outdated keepsake gifts that sits on the shelf. As it turns out, my toddler and my four year-old still fight over the "teeny spoon."Because you know, all things teeny are great...
The Microsoft Office Parent Toolbox helps picky eaters, social butterflies and military wives all at once.
If you are into lists or DIY cards and invitations, or organization in general (or wish you were, ahem ) then you'll definitely want to check out the smart Parent Toolbox group over at Slideshare. Basically Federated Media authors like Pioneer Woman, ParentHacks,...
Tokidoki goes bambino, yippee!
When I first saw the new line of tokidoki apparel for babies earlier this year, I gasped -- Must. Have. Now. But alas, it wasn't available in the US "now," then. Well, now it's starting to be. These colorful characters are like the best of Hello Kitty without the...
Got more than one kid? You need a Tagalong.
I've almost given up taking the double stroller with us anywhere because my older ones end up sitting in it for a solid five minutes, if I'm lucky, and then walking for the rest of the time. Now that's great for when we're in our own quiet neighborhood, but when we're...
Gourmet hot chocolate you don’t want to share with the kids
The weather has taken a turn for the worse in New York this week, dropping suddenly into the 40s for no good reason except, apparently, to torment me. And like that, all thoughts have turned from ice cream to hot chocolate. Obviously there's the store-bought hot...
They Might Be Giants takes on science and like that, a whole generation of future physicists is born.
Hearing my six year old singing songs like Meet the Elements or Photosynthesis makes my geeky-heart's day, especially considering they are songs from my old favorites They Might Be Giants, on their new kids' CD & DVD combo Here Comes Science. Normally, anything...
The perfect baby gift, now with more choices
We've always thought that the personalized baby tees from Little Uni make the most thoughtful little $30-ish baby gifts - which is also why they're featured so prominently on our 2009 Baby Shower Gift Guide. So it's nice to see this mom2-run company coming out with...
Pay it forward, the game.
Is there anything better than random acts of kindness? Well, maybe intentional acts of kindness. And if anyone is going to start a worldwide kindness revolution, my money is on the women behind Boom Boom! Cards. Essentially each of the 26 cards in this nice little kit...
