I envy those people (you know who you are!) who pick fresh tomatoes from their garden before making a bruschetta with ingredients all grown in their backyard. Believe me, I have tried to be one of these people. But, I was born without a …
We are so excited to announce the launch of our annual baby shower gift guide , our biggest and best ever, if we do say so ourselves. We've worked so hard, scouring the ends of the internet to track down more than 150 of the most clever,…
Our editor Liz Gumbinner practically skipped out of the 26th Street studios after her taping of the Martha Stewart Show this week. (Okay, she did skip, according to some reports. Just a little.) Please catch Liz on Martha's big baby show…
Forget sugar and spice and everything nice; more and more parents are looking for art that depicts heir daughters the way they are, and not the way they were in Victorian times. You may remember our post on the princess who saves herself…
The standards for kids' birthday cakes have gone up a bit since I was little, when we just stopped by the Piggly Wiggly and had the teen behind the counter misspell my name between the lumpy sugar roses. Now we want them to be beautiful,…
If you need a break from superheroes and princesses, I've got a fabulous kids birthday party idea, and it's so easy: Food themed birthday parties. Move over tea parties, we've got three new themes worth checking out. Milk & Cookies Fest …
ust when we thought we might be over Angry Birds, one of our favorite little baby companies goes and makes a brand new, very well-done Angry Birds for babies collection. Happily, the birds all look more happy than anything. Guess they ju…
Our love for fab.com is nearing on obsessive (and we all have the credit card bills to prove it). And as if we needed one more reason to love them, today is the launch of their brand new dedicated shop just for kids stuff. Visit the all …
We've seen plenty of soft books for babies, but none quite like the ones from this Etsy artist. Let's just say your J Crew catalog may now be safe from that adorable baby stage when your playful little angel mimcs reading magazines just …
After seeing Joyce Wan's board book, We Belong Together I am so in love with her. So of course I had to check out You Are My Cupcake , in the same series. Let's just say it's absolutely delicious and I want to eat it up in a major way. E…
When I was a little girl, my dad would create the most beautiful origami creatures for my brothers and I. Of course they only lasted a few hours before we demolished them with one good move. I'm sure my dad really appreciated our care an…
Other than wearing hearts on their clothing and looking at us with love in their eyes, our babies are still a little young to be celebrating Valentine's Day with lollipops or big messy chocolate hearts. But since we love red all the time…
Don't panic, mamas, if you realize you've forgotten cards for the sitter, or the teachers or uh...your actual Valentine. We've got you covered with some last minute crafts , recipes and more that you can have done before the kids get hom…
Pinterest, pinterest, pinterest! That's all it seems my on and offline friends are talking about these days--and for good reason. This virtual corkboard that allows you to "pin" and share your online inspiration can help make life easier…
Well okay, we can talk about it. But for those of us not old enough to talk, we can proclaim our affiliation with these new Junior Daredevil Stroller Club onesies. If your darling bundle of joy is a reincarnation of Evel Kneivel, we've f…
Ah shapewear. How essential you are. After all, the beginning of every new year starts with the same pledge: "I will get in shape." But this year, I didn't even dare make that resolution--with a baby who doesn't sleep through the night a…
We're in awe at how far technology has come, even in just the past year. Our favorite picks from the past week are so 2012. And that's a really awesome thing. 1. Check the home thermostat from work? Turn on the fan from carpool? With the…
I've been using the 3greenmoms LunchSkins eco-friendly sandwich bags ever since we featured them here awhile back, so how exciting to hear that they're launching a brand new line for Target. Hooray! Their new LunchSkins2 sets are availab…
When my husband decided that he wanted to take a family ski vacation, I was a little hesitant. With four kids who have never seen more than a few inches of snow, we were less than prepared with cold weather kids' gear. And the thought of…
Sometimes it's hard for my kids to talk about their feelings. In the heat of the moment, they find it a lot easier to cry (or let's face it, whine) than to confront their emotions. As the child of a child psychologist, I am always on the…
Why is this new SIGG bottle awesome for Valentine's Day? Because no one can live without water. (And lots of us can't live without Twitter.) It's a child-sized bottle, but I would totally drink from it. Damask, birds, flowers, bright col…
When I saw this amazing DIY kit at Bundle, it screamed "sibling gift" so loud at me I almost considered having another baby just so my kids would have a reason to make one. Truly, this is one of the coolest ideas I've ever come across. I…
My TOMS wedges might just be my favorite pair of high-heeled spring and summer shoes, but even as comfy as they are, they're still high for chasing after four kids. And while I've yet to feel hip enough to pull off the Classic styles, th…
Once upon a time there was bare space on the wall Now I'm really digging this art. Let's go hang it up, this Total ellipse of the heart! Math geeks and fans of Bonnie Tyler will dig this Total Ellipse of the Heart print by Michael Paukne…
