One of the questions we're most often asked: which stroller to buy? We often recommend travel systems, which let you couple a great stroller with that baby seat you're going to need. But a great travel system is one thing; great travel s…
Confession: I've never totally understood the stuffed-animals-that-turn-into-blankets thing. Pulling a blankie out of a stuffed animal's middle always seemed kind of... weird. Of course, it's not up to me--kids seem to love them. And luc…
Mamas of brand new little boys, I have good news for you: Beloved children's clothing designer brand Zutano has a new collection available at Target -- and it happens to be adorable. We all know how hard it can be to find cute clothes fo…
I've always traveled with a camisole just in case ...to me, it's one of those staples that you never know when you'll need. Like under a white tee that's a little sheerer than you realized. Or to tuck into your jeans under a top when uh.…
When giving a gift to an expecting mother, I prefer finding something that's of very good quality, a reasonable price point and aesthetically pretty--but practical at the same time. Fortunately, those three thing are becoming easier to f…
I have to admit that when it comes to baby books, I don't have a great track record; I have three kids and one half of one completed baby book. It's bad. I wish that I had this option back when my kids were babes because then I would be …
Yesterday, Beastie Boys lovers everywhere collectively gasped with the passing of Adam Yauch. For so many of us, MCA will live on in our MP3 players and iPods--and for some of us, in our mix tapes that are still packed away in boxes some…
I will never forget that rush of giddy power when they put the baby registry gun in my hands. I had no idea what I was doing. I had no real concept of what I needed; just that I had the power to build my tiny nursery empire. Then the bab…
Editor's note: Due to a few technical difficulties, the store will be running by end of May for individual purchases . I always love finding more choices for safe, non-toxic baby products for my family, which is exactly why I was so exci…
I admit that I'm not much of a floral person when it comes to clothes--a bit of a challenge considering I've got three girls to dress in a season where flowers are the hottest thing next to neon. However, when I caught a peek at this ado…
High chairs can really be the bane of style aficionados everywhere. Cumbersome, big, and frankly....ugly. Is it too much to ask for a high chair that looks cool, functions well--oh, and doesn't cost $500? [ don't miss a great high chair …
We're always fans of Petunia Pickle Bottom bags, thanks to smart design, elegant patterns, and a rugged refusal to succumb to ruination. But once you're past the gigantic diaper bag phase and even the maybe-it's-just-a-purse diaper bag p…
We're all big fans of Plum Organics baby foods in my house, which we pack as snacks for the whole family all the time. But I've yet to figure out a good way to organize them, except other than toss them in a plastic bowl in my pantry. Ni…
Back after the sad demise of neon in the 80s, I really thought I would never thought I would see neon again. Boy George, was I wrong . And now even Bugaboo is getting into the neon action, and it puts the boom boom into my heart. Persona…
My one-year-old is a lightning fast crawler and he has the dirty knees to prove it. So I'm a big fan of baby leggings for more than mere fashion, especially when they're as uber-soft as this new option. The new Leggies Legwarmers from Li…
Who doesn't love an old fashioned pop up book? For Jane of the Etsy shop Little Blue Frogs , her childhood love of pop up books resurfaced when she had kids of her own, and lucky for us, her fascination resulted in a crafty and completel…
If you looked in my kids' closet, you'd find more Tea clothes than pretty much anything else. (Besides my t-shirts that they steal and call "nightgowns.") Since the day I first got a Tea outfit for my baby shower, I fell in love with dur…
When you are invited to a fancy affair with a baby boy, it can be tricky to navigate the waters . Girls are so easy (Yes, I'm a mom of boys so this is all just speculation tinged with jealousy), no matter the age. You've got dresses, tun…
As a mom, I remember my babies living in the classic white onesie, which is an easy piece to pair with pops of color. So I always appreciate finding beanies for babies that have lots of personality and vibrancy. These brand new handmade …
For some reason, every pregnant friend in my life is having a boy these days. So I'm even more attuned to the limited choice there is in terms of motifs on their clothing. While we've worked pretty hard to track down cool boys' clothes t…
Two important things for new mamas to know: not everything useful has to look utilitarian, and there will be many, many uses for burp cloths. I can justify buying gorgeous ones--despite their intended use--considering how much time they'…
UPDATE: This service has now shut down. We highly recommend Citrus Lane for a similar service with products we love. -Eds There are actually lots of ways to make new and pregnant moms smile, most of them involving food, cleaning, and bab…
As a Hispanic mother, I know first-hand how difficult it is to find children's products that celebrate our culture without being cheesy. Sure, it's easy enough to find products for Spanish learners in the US, but there's more to growing …
