More coolness from recent weeks…
She’ll be the Grandest Girl in the Easter Parade
I have toddler headwear envy. I love my little baldy girl, but the only barrette I’ll be able to keep on her head is the one I drew on there. And headbands stay on for about 2.76 seconds – on a good day. But, my daughter’s head is uncovered no more thanks to Baby Cappelli hats.
Hey, There’s Shmutz on This Bib!
With Passover just around the corner, we searched far and wide for a great item for baby's first Seder. We stopped when we found this clever cotton bib. Shmutz (Yiddish for a little mess) will pretty much sum up the state of affairs if your little mensch takes a...
Svanity Fair
As a Svan superfan I was all but throwing a party when I heard the news that Scandinavian Child was introducing its newest Svan product, a chic-as-chit bouncy seat! I know, I know. Exciting stuff, right?
Snap On, Snap Off
Why is it when you finally get around to buying clothes and room duds that support your kids’ interests (read: feed their obsessions), they have already moved onto something else? You end up being out countless dollars, and up about 14 Winnie-the-Pooh shirts and 2 sheet sets that you can’t return.
Achtung Baby!
Classic. Soothing. Lullabies. Brisa’s selection of music for children is easy on the ears and ranges from Mozart to Elvis.
First Impressions
Got a bun in the oven? Know someone who does? Voila! Ceci New York for your custom Baby Announcement needs.
Come On, Swaddle Me
Did you listen to the OB nurse when she explained the perfect swaddling technique? I don’t know about you, but I was way too busy worrying about attaching the baby to my boob to think about tightly wrapping my child in a crappy hospital blanket. But when I got home, I realized that I probably should have listened.
Stay Undivorced
WryBaby is one of our go-to sites at CMP, and also one of yours judging from the number of tips we receive about them. Of all the cheeky gifts you'll find there, The Wheel of Responsibility is a favorite. It's just what it sounds like - a simple way to determine whose...
Let Them Eat Cupcakes.
A Cup-a-Cake container is one of those items that on first glance makes you say, "huh?" On second glance you think, "pretty smart," and on third glance you’re like, "I need forty-two of them, NOW NOW NOW!"
Now You Can Save Your Singing for the Shower
If you are one of those moms who‚Äôd love to take your kid to music class but dreads singing in front of anyone except yourself in the bathroom mirror, then the Music’s Everywhere dvd is the perfect solution for you.
A Cause We Can All Rally Behind
Dianetics states that moms in labor "maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go." Um. Democrat or Republican, red state or blue, I think we can all agree on one thing:...
Keep That Binky on a Short Leash
Sure, bunnies and teddy bears are cute and all, but just because you have a baby doesn't mean you have to look like one. That's the problem with a lot of baby gear. It's made for them but YOU still have to carry it around. Well...we know you ain't no baby, baby, and...
I’m A Sucker For The Snack Sack
I think we spent more time standing in front of the stroller selection at our local Baby Superstore than we did trying to conceive the little creature.This stroller didn’t have a cup holder for Mom.That stroller didn’t have a big enough cargo space. Standing...
Peanut Butter Jellie Time
Looking for an amazing mother's day gift for your baby's momma's momma and/or baby's daddy's momma? Look no further: The lovely lady at Jellie Joolz will cook you up the perfect gift for Grandma. Or if you're the kind of mom who ODs on the I HAVE CHILDREN merchandise...
If Only I Could Exchange My Belly…
There’s nothing like paying $50 for a designer (muumuu) maternity shirt that you’re only going to wear for a few months at best.
Loungin’ Out In Style
There's nothing like a crazy day of nursing and sleeping to tire out even the busiest babies. Nothing feels better than tearing off that tight, dirty onesie and slipping on something way more comfortable - say a Lounge Set by Janel and Amy at Abe Jones. These 100%...
Go Ahead and Overextend Yourself
The Pros of Cons
As a teenager in the 80s, I was rarely seen without my black Chuck Taylor high-tops with the anarchy A scrawled on the toes. The kicks have since given way to something a bit more fashion-backward (and more supportive in the arches), but I still yearn for the hipster...
No, G is Not for Guiliani
New York City can teach a child any number of things. Like how to distinguish a Bangladeshi cab driver accent from a Pakistani one. Or how to learn to share toys with Uma’s daughter in the sandbox of the Bleecker Street playground. Now, NYC is also teaching children their ABCs.
“If Mama Ain’t Happy, Ain’t Nobody Happy”
I think many of the mainstream parenting-type magazines make fine reads… for my daughter while I’m on the toilet. What toddler doesn’t love to flip through pages of baby pictures and toy ads? But when I’m looking for something to challenge my slowly deteriorating mom brain, I head right over to mamazine.com.
Purl with a Purpose
I'm a winter knitter. I have no problem creating toasty scarves and booties when the weather is chilly - but for some reason, when my butt is roasting on a lovely 85 degree March day here in Mississippi, I have a little more difficulty motivating myself to grab my...
