More coolness from recent weeks…
Gwyneth’s Dirty Little Postpartum Secret
Thank goodness for Spanx. These body shapers are not your mothers’ girdles. They’re thin, comfy (!!) and machine washable.
Just in Case They Don’t Believe You
If your child is anything like mine then chances areyouwere the one telling your friends and family her first words. I mean, now she'll say "hi" and "no" in public, but when we tried to get her to express her first words to anyone but us, we were...
Handmade Rocks Our World
If you’re the hippest of the hip and the trendiest of the trendy,
you’re probably already sporting the semi-precious gemstone jewelry look.
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Forget the cloth diapers meticulously arranged in the shape of a three-tier cake and get your sister or girlfriend something she’ll really want to use. Like the book, Why Babies Do That: Baffling Baby Behavior Explained by Jennifer Margulis.
Get the Monsters Out of the Closet and Onto the Wall
Sure the race cars, planes, and firetrucks are fun and all, but how cool would you be if you brought homea few monsters for your kid’s wall instead? Very cool, we think.
The Muse of Children’s Fashion
Some people you just want to hate. For example, a former model-turned-mom who still looks like a model. But when you get to know her a bit and find out she’s also nice and cool and smart and has a great kid, AND designs unbelievably awesome childrens clothes, well dammit, you just can’t be a hatah.
Getting Lucky Never Looked So Good
So you’ve seen the thousands of slings out there and basically, they’re pretty much the same. Great in function but style? Not so much. Well, get ready to get lucky. Lucky-baby, that is.
Pour Some Sugar on Me
While we love the monogrammed and personalized everything for kids these days, we’re always on the prowl for something that says "my mom thinks out of the box." We may have stumbled upon just that over at Sugar Roux.
Who Said Leather Was Out?
Bibs are a funny thing. You swear you never want to use them, but after a few soaking wet shirts (thanks to the drool machine known as your child), you get over it. And fast. I'm pretty sure I washed way more bibs than I thought ever existed. And then I threw half of...
Pick Your Man a PacMan
Ever struggle over what to get your husband for Father’s Day because he just won’t tell you? Fear not, adventurers: If your baby’s daddy was a child of the 80’s, he’ll love receiving a video game from his misspent youth, one at which he can actually beat the kids of today.
Nurture His Inner DJ
Father’s Day is upon us, and why punish Dad with another bottle of Brut (by Faberge) when you can blow his mind with the Sonos digital music system
Save the Ducks for the Zoo
It’s always a challenge to find the right stationery for the wonderful (yet daunting) post-shower or birthday party thank-you list.
I May Look Like a Geek, But a Geek Who Can Find His Keys
For the style-conscious SAHD, your options are pretty slim if you want to avoid lugging your wife’s floral diaper tote around town. I couldn’t ever get stuff in and out of my messenger diaper bag, and last summer’s big vacation proved the rule that whatever you’re trying to find in your backpack—diaper, bib, camera, guidebook—will invariably be at the very bottom.
Have Your Cake and Rock To It Too
"Cake,” a new music video from Charity and the JAMband previewed May 24 on the Indie Food Channel. What a great way to check out one of our favorite new discoveries in children’s music.
Summer Essentials for the Dad in Your Life
Since summer has quickly reared its hot and humid head here in the Northeast, I thought I’d start preparing for the season. Like most men, this entails digging out those flip flops from storage, loading up on some steaks, firing up the BBQ grill and enjoying some cool alcoholic beverages with friends.
Build Your Own Blocks
We come across quite a few personalized products at CMP. Apparently if you put someone’s kid’s name on something no matter how useless or inane (monogrammed bottle sterilizer, anyone?) it’s a surefire hit.
Do You Remember Rock ‘n’ Roll?
Remember when you were both younger and would go see bands play at the local club? If you’re like me, your kids came along and put an end to that. Is it really worth forking over seventy bucks for a sitter to see your nephew’s garage band fumble its way though Sweet Home Alabama?
There’s More to These Monsters Than Meets the Eye
The deliciously cute monster tees at Dishy Duds are better defined as wearable art–each is made by hand with incredible detailing, and no two are alike. It’s a good enough reason to run out and buy a dozen right now.
One Less Thing for Dads to Freak Out About
You know what about impending fatherhood freaks me out more than anything else? That my nice little sleek-and-minimal- with-a-side-of-organic-cotton aesthetic will be buried under the inevitable onslaught of pastel plaid ruffles and battery-powered, light-flashing, muzak-emitting "baby crack".
Keeping Daddy as Close to Home as Possible
As a military wife, I’ve been fortunate to have avoided deployments. And while some days I wouldn’t mind if my husband took a short trip across the ocean, I imagine it really stinks for the kids.
I Stand Here Ironing (And Looking Fabulous)
Ironing, cooking, cleaning, scrubbing: Hardly my description of a day well-spent. But we may have discovered one way to overcome your reluctance to plow through your chore list on a sunny Sunday. BlipShop, the online boutique of British mum and designer Emma Carey,...
