I love cloth diapers -- they're cute, they're eco-conscious , and they prevent a traumatic gelsplosion from an accidental disposable in the washing machine. But with most of the pocket diapers I favor clocking in at $19.95 each (or more!…
I never understood why 90% of baby clothes are either pastel pink or little boy blue. Don't babies have the right to exercise their fashion sense as much as the rest of us? [don't miss a fabulous giveaway after the jump!] We fell in love…
I have confessed before that I am an unapologetic makeup snob. My feeling has always been, you change your shoes, but you wear your face every day. That said, I'm willing to spend more money on great products, but only on the great ones.…
I've been staring down the task of tagging a bunch of different items for my daughter's foray back to school. I don't know if it's because she's now a pre-K-er--a.k.a., one of the "big kids," (sniff)--or if that eau de Sharpie isn't my f…
UPDATE: On 2/3/12 there was a CPSC recall of Bumbleride Indie strollers : model numbers I-107, I-110 and I-205 with a Date of Manufacture from 1/09 through 8/11.The front wheel can crack causing the stroller to tip. There have been no ma…
Yes, friends, we live in a world where even toothpaste can start a debate between parents and children: What's in it, what's not in it, whose picture is on the tube, whether or not it burns like fire, mommy! (by which she means it's mint…
We tend cover the kind of eco-friendly nail polishes that come in tiny little bottles with colors like Bubblegum and Blueberry Slushie. But not today. This one's just for mom. The Megan Miller Collection of nail polishes is sold through …
We've always had a heart for green school supplies for our kids, ever since we knew such a thing even existed.While they'll never be as cheap as what you find at the big mall stores, grab a couple you love and teach the kids a lesson in …
You can't have a back to school lunchbox without all the cool goodies inside. We'll let you take care of the yummy food and snacks. But we've got you covered when it comes to all the cool accessories that definitely make lunchtime every …
It's a tradition for so many families - the school year starts off with a clean new lunch box, full of promise (and not so full of last year's peanut butter crud). Here are a few that we love because they're not only adorable, they're bu…
While lots of companies are trying to build a better water bottle (just search water bottle on our site sometime), I'm actually surprised it took Brita so long to get into the game. But now here they are, with a sports bottle that has on…
In the little pile of clothes that we're saving for when our kids are grown and we're wanting to look back and remember how tiny they were, I can guarantee you there will be many, many things from Tea Collection. I've been a big fan of t…
When I had my daughter--after already having a son--I am a tiny bit ashamed to admit that I became a pretty easy sell with special "girlie" things like dresses and hair clips. Girlie, but not too girlie, you know? So these new baby dress…
The Winnie the Pooh movie hitting theaters today promises to be a sweet mix of old and new, combining classic Pooh animation with a few new voices-- like Craig Ferguson as Owl. The overall idea is to charm Pooh fans of all ages with a ti…
I didn't have kids yet when I lived in New York, but if I did--or should we ever happen to move back (could happen!)--I'd need some help getting it all together. A toddler bed to fit in a Manhattan apartment? Recommendations for a fabulo…
I'd like my cup of Joe with a cup of kindness. Instead of sugar, I'll take straight-up sweetness, especially towards the farmers. That's the idea behind Safi Coffee. Safi (pronounced saw-fee ) is Swahili for honest, clean, transparent . …
Sometimes when I'm chasing four kids around the zoo, the playground, or the pool, I've wished for a bag that I can just pop on my back. Yes, I know that's called a "backpack," however, I'm not really a backpack kind of a gal. Plus I don'…
I am an earnest, but distracted gardener. I have a garden box in my yard, one withholding lemon tree, and an egg carton (maybe) sprouting herbs on my windowsill. I've also grown a fungus or two, but it's always been accidental and I neve…
So my daughter has just embraced the wonderful world of dinosaurs-- beyond Barney. This is a huge milestone. Huge. To encourage her newfound love of the stegosaurus and the parasaurolophus and all non-purple dinosaurs, we've forgone plas…
We always have our eyes on artisans we've featured here before so we can share with you their newest, coolest goodies. So lucky me and you for this new discovery at one of our favorite mom and dad bizzes, Little Alouette. Word lover or n…
Lip color makes a big difference -- that slight hue of berry or pink can compensate for years of sleep deprivation. Right now, I'm digging a line from PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics (get it?); natural, philanthropic lipsticks and glosses that …
We're just a few days into summer vacation and it's already mud season. Not the kind of mud that's made by Mother Nature. This stuff is kid-made, by way of a wading pool, a trusty hose, and a patch of mud-ready dirt. It's given me the pe…
If ever there was a "We knew her when," it has to be one of our favorite mom designers, Kiersten Hathcock of Mod Mom Furniture. We featured (and purchased) her gorgeous mid century toy box waaaaay back in 2007 and since then, not only ha…
I find myself missing clocks these days. You know, clocks? Actual things with two hands that don't glow in the dark from your DVR box or flash 12:00 after the electricity goes out? So when I saw this wooden clock, I felt this little pang…
