You know how it goes: your kids wear their clothes for a ridiculously short period of time. Sure, there's always hand-me-downs, or consignment and Craigslist, if you're motivated enough to try to make some money. But those routes require…
When my daughter was a toddler, she suffered from a malady we called "foot claustrophobia". Wrangling a pair of shoes onto that squirming, hyperventilating child was an exercise in futility, until we found a pair that had a high "distrac…
My favorite baby girl outfits were ones that could be worn for a fun little playdate or a special day out with just a simple change of shoes . And that's exactly why I love this adorable tunic and leggings combo from Cool Mom Picks fave …
When I saw this adorable little outfit on Planet Awesome Kid , I knew I had to track down the hat immediately. It brought me to the most wonderful Australian webshop filled with so many amazing kids' accessories. Including possibly the m…
Much to my daughters' delight, metallics and glitter are a hot trend for the back to school season , but with so many options, it can be tough to pick. So we scoured the web for the coolest kicks that will let your little or big girl shi…
My oldest is a budding scientist . He looks up to Ben Franklin the way most people look up to rock stars. For a while, said son was sporting a tri-corn hat to really perfect his Franklin look. That kind of got in the way, and frankly, wo…
This boutique line of hand-embroidered shirts brings together three of our favorite things: Star Wars, babies, and sock legs. Also, Wookiees. The new Morfs line from welovefine includes five Star Wars shirts for infants and toddlers that…
While we're all still on this post-Olympic London kick (man, aren't you dying to go right now?) it was great timing that we discovered this brand new children's line straight out of London. [ don't miss a fantastic limited time discount …
Last year we discovered the super awesome Sock it To Me knee socks, which we even included in our holiday gift guide . (We still think those Derby Girl socks are a pretty darn cool gift.) But while some of the designs were decidedly kid-…
If your kid has a thing for Star Wars clothes, you'll be glad to know that America's favorite droid is now available in hoodie form. When asked for his response, R2D2 said, "BOOOP BEE ZOOP" and wiggled a little as if dancing to the celeb…
We're happy to introduce you to our new sponsor, Wittlebee . We think you'll like them! The hard thing about buying nice kids' clothes is facing the inevitable: the clothes will be outgrown. Quickly. What that means is yet another trip t…
When I go shopping for three kids' clothes for Back to School---or "fall" as we homeschoolers call it---I am always on the lookout for cool, unique styles that my kids won't see on all of their peers but that won't also blow my entire bu…
My love for Bensimon sneakers is no secret; I wear my own purple pair almost every day. And the kids' styles are simply adorable. So when their new style collaboration with Bakker Made With Love, well my only wish, after I recovered from…
Once again, we're super happy to be working with Old Navy --and not just because it's so fun/weird to see Jason Priestly in their new TV ads . If you haven't checked out their insanely good sale online yet (seriously, there is a lot unde…
As a professional decorator, one of my favorite spaces to take on is a kid's room . You can go as creative and whimsical as you want; where else could I use every color in the rainbow and indulge in prints that are easily deemed "funny?"…
Whether or not my kids will one day stand on the podium of some future Olympics is not yet determined----have they started a category for intense video gaming or speed LEGO building? For now, though, I love these shirts that let them pro…
There were moments in my children's earlier years that all I wanted to do was cover them in a full body raincoat. It seemed like meal times turned into "let's get as covered with food as we possibly can" times. Thankfully, a brilliant mo…
City Threads is a great little clothing company that I've raved about before. You can recognize their "Brooklyn" bucket hats on many a hipster kid at the nearest playground in my (nowhere near Brooklyn) neighborhood. Now they are finally…
An insane number of crafters on Etsy are making all manners of barrettes, hair bands and baby bows, some with adornments larger nearly as large the actual baby. (I never got that, I have to say.) Searching for something tasteful can be a…
We get kind of excited when we find any cool boys clothes, as you well know, and even more so when we find great boys clothes on sale. Especially when they're from from one of our favorite shops--and CMP sponsors-- Red 21 Boys . Here, ju…
Don't even get me started on the hassle of shoe shopping for kids. The second my son started walking last month, I knew we were in for a new pair of shoes every couple of months, just like I had done for his older brother. But then I dis…
[ updated with corrected info] There is something so special about children's clothes with history. Hand-me-downs aren't just a frugal choice : there's often meaning in seeing your child in his grandpa's favorite college sweatshirt. And …
In some neighborhoods, where feeding a baby a single french fry will earn you the disdain of onlooking parents everywhere (would I know of such a thing?) my anti-authority side is loving a line of vaguely irreverent baby and kids clothes…
One of the essentials in my girls' summer wardrobe when they were babies were bloomers. It was so easy to just toss a cute pair over a diaper, add a little tunic or tee, and we were off. I love the selection of high quality cotton baby b…
