Every once in awhile we love to check out the top-of-the-line baby gear that we might not be able to afford ourselves, but makes our fantasy wish lists. And these luxury double strollers are too gorgeous to ignore. Hey, maybe you got som…
If you're anything like me, the end of 2016 may have hoping that 2017 will somehow offer something better than where we feel we are now. However that's something that happens by planning and doing -- not just hoping. Which is why finding…
We totally get the last-minute holiday gift problem. Believe us! I mean, we may have started working on our 2017 Holiday Gift Guide in, like...May, but hey, we're busy moms. And we're busy shopping for you! So no judgments at all if you'…
This is a sponsored message from The Boppy Company Finding a comfortable position when you're pregnant -- whether you're sitting, laying down or sleeping -- can be pretty challenging, which is why the new line of prenatal pillows from Bo…
I tend to be a pragmatist when it comes to buying baby gear . I want great, smart products that won't break the bank , so you won't find me shopping for a diamond-encrusted baby rattle or a WiFi-enabled wipes warmer (is that even a thing…
If you've already checked out our awesomely extensive holiday gift guide this year , which of course we hope you have, you know we've handpicked the very best gifts for pretty much everyone on your nice list -- from your hard to please m…
There's a ton of high-tech baby gear out there these days -- but not all of it is stuff we'd actually use or recommend. I mean, just because you can invent a training potty with an iPad stand that doesn't mean you should. So we put our h…
If there's one thing we know that every new mom needs, it's sleep. Lots of it. Lots and lots of it. So what better baby shower gift to consider than one aimed at getting her just what she needs? We are so excited to put together tons of …
If you follow the magical baby portraits at Wengenn in Wonderland or the instagram glory of Laura Izumikawa , you know that naptime photography is no joke. I'm mesmerized by the way these moms create whimsical worlds for their babies and…
Finally escaping the morning sickness and extreme fatigue routine of the first trimester of my pregnancy has been a big reward in and of itself. And while I'm finding the second trimester and its nesting phase to be so much more enjoyabl…
This is a sponsored message from Brightly Gifts Whether you're shopping for a special gift for your own child, grandchild, niece, nephew or best friend's cool kid, books are at the top of so many wish lists. Which is why you'll want to c…
The self-deprecating mom advice book is a genre I can get behind, but it's not always done well. I'm still recommending the edgy Sh*tty Mom series and the offbeat Let's Panic About Babies , but a lot of the other titles start to run toge…
As a parent, your head banging days may be over. And at five months pregnant, mine are coming to an end pretty soon. In fact, lately I've been spending much more time agonizing over the perfect lullaby playlist than attending music festi…
October is my favorite month, because: hot cider, changing leaves, and sweater weather. And let's go ahead and add International Babywearing Month to that list of loves too. As a new mom, I had plenty of unwelcome advice from strangers t…
Sara Blakely has been fantastically successful helping us hide our post-baby bellies with her magical Spanx products, but now she's asking women to show off their bellies all in the name of charity. Her new book, The Belly Art Project , …
Who says first-time moms need all the stuff? Even BTDT second-time around moms who have saved a bunch of their favorite items, could still use some new gear and gifts for second babies that make their life much easier. Especially if ther…
After 11 years of parenting, I'm a pretty big believer in not buying baby gear that doesn't grow with your child . That means floor mats dedicated exclusively to, say, tummy time isn't at the top of my priority list. (As cute as they may…
My absolute favorite feature on my iPhone isn't the smart to-do list that keeps my life sane or the ability to look up random facts on Google whenever I want -- it is, of course, the camera. I take thousands of pictures each year, and as…
I never used a white noise machine with any of my kids when they were babies, which may explain why they were such terrible nappers. Compare that to my friends, who'd come over for dinner and board games with their babies in tow. Their k…
Sure, those prenatal classes and baby books may prepare you for labor, breastfeeding (kind of), and baby milestones . But there are so many truly insane moments as a new parent that create a stark difference between your new life (i.e. s…

The only thing we love more than super safe, comfortable car seats and strollers is when our essential baby gear has swanky styling too. The new City Motif Collection of baby gear from Maxi-Cosi combines serious safety features with a pl…
My kids believe they are the World's Greatest Fans of Dylan's Candy Bar. Which is hilarious, considering that every single one of the zillions of kids who visit their shops each year also believe that they are the World's Greatest Fans o…
