I love to relive my kids' momentous birth day with my husband, my kids and pretty much anyone who will listen. (Admit it--I'm not alone here.) So for all of us who are birth date obsessed, we've found a pretty cool keepsake. These adorab…
I just got wind of an adorable new shop featuring anything and everything animal-themed for kids. Well, not everything animal. This is just the cute stuff. In other words, no magenta and gold metallic toddler cheetah leggings As Seen on …
For a gift that will definitely inspire some "awwwws" at baby showers, we've found that very thing. Or rather, we've found 120 of those very things on our recently launched Baby Shower Gift Guide . But now, we've found one more. (Don't m…
Around Easter, little girls' outfits at the boutiques can start looking a bit fancy-pantsy. Patent leather and pressed ruffles are all well and good, but the baby girls I know have usually preferred something a bit softer. And sassier. H…
It can be mighty windy up in the stands, but even if you're staying home to watch the game on the TV, every tot-sized baseball fan needs a pair of baseball-themed leg warmers, right? Just in time for the start of baseball season, I am lo…
We've panted over Noko's baby clothes and girls' dresses and, now the baby gear obsessed among us can covet their new unbelievably gorgeous baby blankets. Or better yet, we can buy them. I am in love with Noko's updated traditional Japan…
On a trip to LA last month, I knew I had to stop into Fred Segal, my retail happy place for many many years. While I'm not in the market for a $700 pair of shoes this particular moment, I always love stopping into the kids boutique there…
What is it about orange on children that just makes me feel happy? It's so springy and bright and optimistic--although of course, I look terrible in it myself. Wah. I love what one of my favorite small designers, Beth Miles of Ses Petite…
Love may be a burning thing... but it doesn't have to make a fiery ring. In your wallet, anyway. What am I going on about? Oh, maybe just the cutest pint-sized nod to one of the world's most notable singers. This Johnny Cash Pomade Kids'…
It used to drive me crazy when my son was a newborn that I couldn't learn how to swaddle properly with a swaddling blanket. My husband could. In fact, everybody else could. Why wasn't this genius product around then? I could have looked …
Man those Swedes are stellar when it comes to bringing beautiful design to the masses. We've long been fans of Vyssan Lull, an online purveyor of gorgeous, cheerful and eco-friendly kid's clothing with style to spare. And even more so, n…
Without fail, March 17th arrives and I start digging through my kids' dressers in the search for something, anything, green. I usually end up with one child wearing last year's soccer tee and one poor soul in a shirt that requires me tel…
One of the many surprise discoveries I made after having a baby boy was that I'm actually pickier about boy clothes. Specifically, a lot of sports-themed duds don't pass muster, but select favorites make me swoon. But here's a new line t…
The only thing more adorable than a cute baby bottom in a cloth diaper is saying "Charlie Banana" whenever someone asks you where the diaper came from. Cloth is making a comeback, mainly because it's good for the environment and cuter th…
Our kids may never debate the merits of Betty vs. Veronica or laugh at Jughead's ability to gulp down hamburgers. But you still have to admit that this crown-style hat hearkens back to the golden days of Archie, before all comic book cha…
Yes, chalkboards are huge right now. From mugs at Starbucks to the chalkboard wall decals we've covered here, scribbles on black is hott with two wobbly, handwritten T's. And here's a unique and adorable way to jump in on the cuteness, w…
I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I've mis-snapped my baby's onesies and sleepers during a middle of the night diaper change. Heck, I've even done it during the day. And now, since finding Magnificent Baby, I'm seriously…
We drop the word "cute" a lot, mainly because it's so versatile. Teeny tiny onesies? Cute. Gorgeous handmade jewelry? Cute. Sweet stationary? Cute. The guy who washed my hair this morning at the salon? Cute. But it's also refreshing when…
Of the many talents I wished I possessed, crocheting is at the top of the list, right along with singing in key and being able to sketch something other than stick figures. Since I don't expect to inherit any of those talents any time so…
I love it when a cool designer creates a less expensive line for the masses. I've swooned over the adorable styles and appealing price tags of the Stella McCartney for Gap Kids and Baby and Splendid Littles for Target lines; and now I ca…
Last year, we introduced a baby brand pronunciation guide for all those baby brands that you might not know how to say. Or really, those brands you only think you know how to say. Let's just say Robeez ? It doesn't rhyme with Brobee's. A…
I love how when my son loses his glove--yes, glove; always the left--the stores are completely sold out of them. In January. Well, there's one "make way for the spring inventory even though winter just started" clearance sale I think you…
Based on the color offerings of most sleep sacks out there, I'm left to believe that manufacturers think bright colors will somehow keep babies awake at night. What's with all the pastels? Well, that's exactly how mom Holly MacLean felt …
My daughter is a bit of a choosy dresser. To say the least. If I'm being perfectly honest, it takes at least half an hour to get her ready every morning and she balks--nay, tantrums for an hour--if anything she's wearing is even slightly…
