For years, I have raved about TKEES sandals , and for good reason. More fashionable than rubber flip flops but just as comfy, they've become my summer shoe staple . And they hold up so well, even while taking a pounding on NYC streets, t…

As someone who is raising my kids on LEGO sets, but also a lot of talk about disposable plastic toys, I am so happy to see the news that LEGO is introducing sustainable, plant-based pieces starting this year, as part of their commitment …
Today marks the beginning of Holi, the Indian festival of color, love and springtime. You know, the one with the bright, colorful powder that's tossed in celebration of good triumphing over evil, fertility and love. (Concepts we can tota…
As much as we love kids' clothing with cutie-pie prints and patterns (seriously, rainbows and unicorns — love ), we're blown away when prints and patterns get a little deeper. Glorious case in point: the Artists in History print in Kira …
At long last, the much coveted and beloved Hunter Boots have come to Target and I am here for it! I am not only here, I am stomping my feet in stylish puddle-jumping preparation . This post has been updated to reflect the new collection …

Take a quick peek at these fun metallic desk supplies and if you're feeling the winter blahs like I am, you'll know exactly why I've been scouring the web for them. I know that in a few short weeks we'll have a little more daylight, but …
The Rabbit Listened , by Cori Doerrfeld, is hands down, my favorite kids' book that's come across my desk lately. It's a simple story about how to respond with compassion when you see someone suffering and it couldn't come along at a bet…
When I left our sold-out Black Panther theater on opening night, I wanted to run out and start shouting on the street, SEE THIS MOVIE NOW! In brief: It was just spectacular: The casting is stellar, the special effects are killer, the pro…

I took one look at the nature-inspired handmade wooden blocks from Water & Lightning at Toy Fair 2018 and...instant love. These minimalist but colorful stacking blocks feel amazing, are nicely weighted, and the perfect size for both litt…
Recently I've been coveting the clean, cool aesthetic of black and white baby gifts -- nursery decor, clothes, toys, you name it. Which probably has something to do with the fact that as my young son has accumulated more and more present…
At this point in my life, I'm not spending a ton of money updating my wardrobe each season . Instead, I'm all about little fashion helpers that help me get more out of the staples I do own. Like my favorite knee-high boots I want to last…
