It's sleek, sporty, and goes from backpack to messenger bag in less than thirty seconds. But, unlike those $60,000 convertibles, it won't mess up your hair, and you probably won't swallow a bug while using it. Oh, and it's called Annie. …

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…
All the Bugaboo talk this week is about the new Bugaboo Donkey double stroller --that oddly-named, but coolly-designed single-to-double convertible stroller that our Editor-in-Chief Liz got a sneak peek at a few days ago at the US launch…
Now that spring is here, a kid's (and uh, a mom's) fancy turns to ice cream--arguably our favorite of all the food groups. We consider ourselves ice cream connoisseurs around here, but I have to say, I was surprised to try a brand new ic…
While my belly has been massively expanding over the last eight months, my wardrobe hasn't. My pregnancy dressing tactic has been to buy a few key maternity pieces and then fudge the rest with my regular threads. Fake it 'til you make, i…
I'm a firm believer in color therapy, especially when it comes to kid's rooms . So when I saw the bold and peppy new crib bedding sets from Maclaren , which happens to be the complete opposite of their very chic and very white nursery fu…

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…
As you may have heard, the AAP updated their car seat recommendations yesterday, advising that parents leave their kids in a rear facing car seat now until the age of two, not one. This means means getting a little creative when it comes…
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 …

I am addicted to cool organizing products. That's not to say that I'm the most organized person out there--that would be my sister-in-law and she is a goddess. (But not the Charlie Sheen kind. Ew.) I just like fun boxes and containers wh…
Finding a meal that satisfies all members of my families is a mission impossible these days. Add a baby just starting solids into the mix and that spells H-E-A-D-A-C-H-E. But there's a new line of organic baby foods that just might do th…
