It turns out our Valentine's Day card contest did more than help us put together one cool card, it also introduced us to some really exciting new artists. One of them is Montreal's Stay Home , which makes all kinds of happy little felt t…
Okay, so I couldn't resist featuring just one Valentine's Day themey, adorable heart barrette. Especially after I was kind of wishing I had one at my daughter's preschool Valentine's party this past weekend. (Not for me - for her.) The h…
This is the week, mamas. The week that your kids are going to have to bring in Valentine's cards for every single kid in the class, the teacher, the assistant teacher, the art teacher, the dance instructor, the janitor, and probably the …
There's no shortage of Valentine's Day attire for little girls (like the Kideko heart pajamas we found this week) , but when it comes to boys, it's pretty slim pickings. And I get it. Dressing a boy in a rose-colored heart shirt is a tou…
Even though I've put on ten pounds just looking at all the Valentine's Day treats that hand-crafted and artisan food marketplace Foodzie has to offer, I'm going to be an extra-good girl this week in the hopes that Cupid leaves me somethi…
I'm not in the habit of sending out custom photo Valentine's cards---heck, I can barely get my Christmas cards out in time---but CMP favorite Paper Culture has given me good reason to reconsider. Not only do their lovely modern cards giv…
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…
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 Plas…
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 ce…
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…
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 No…
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 messa…
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. Righ…
After much, much deliberation, we are soooo pleased to announce the winners of our first Valentine's Day color-your-own card contest with our friends at Etsy . We scoured through your amazing entries and picked our 12--yep, we just could…
With three kids who keep having birthdays, I feel like I'm forever on the lookout for cool, affordable party favors that won't end up immediately in the trash which is why when I saw the assortment of Lil Scribblers' chunky crayons by Ph…
I am an advocate of the notion that great gift wrap can make everything more special, and poking around 1000 Markets, I was happy to stumble upon the Valentines Heart Favor Box from designer Jennifer Jermantowicz of Pasaii Design Studio.…
How do I love this anatomical heart necklace ? Let me count the ways: Let's start with the hand-cut sterling silver. Continue on to the fact that it's, you know, a pretty darn realistic rendering of a real heart without being gross or ma…
We are so excited by the phenomenal entries flying in for our Valentine's Day color-your-own card design contest in partnership with Etsy to support the Children's Heart Foundation . Competition is getting so tough we may just have to le…
Not every relationship is sappy and sentimental and traditional. If I were to get my sigOth some kind of flowery Hallmark card for Valentine's Day and a bottle of cologne I think he'd wonder who'd replaced me with the fembot. But the cus…
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it seemed appropriate to team up with one of our first and favorite loves, Etsy , for a super cool Valentine's Day color-your-own card design contest . We're looking for fun, original cards th…
If I had to contribute one bit of mom wisdom to the new parents of the world, it would be to always have a stack of kid-friendly cards at the ready. My favorites have been the ones with space for your own children to scribble a drawing o…
Last night I was yapping with my sister-in-law about holiday dresses, when I clicked over to the Noko Baby site to show her some of my all-time favorite dressy dresses for girls . And wouldn't you know it, I get an email this morning, le…
I've just learned at the very last minute that my daughters need a dressy dress for the holidays . So I've been checking frantically to see if one of my favorite labels, Ses Petites Mains has anything new and fabulous, and wouldn't you k…
Look, we've discussed my SIS (Scrapbook Impairment Syndrome) in the past. I'm okay with it. There are tools available for me to do pretty things with my pictures in other ways. But if I want a genuine photos-affixed-to-beautiful-backgrou…
