Wee rascals is fast becoming my go-to site for gifts for enlightened kids. I just love these makers of wonderful historical tees for kids honoring heroes like Malala, Abraham Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Hamil-crew, and a gir…
We of course love t-shirts for our kids featuring their favorite superheroes , pop culture references , rock bands, and athletes. And our kids love them too. But there's something extra special about the t-shirts that show the world who …
Last year, I was instantly taken with Wee Rascal's t-shirts for kids that turn historical figures into hip idols. From Maya Angelou to MLK, there's a hero or heroine for every kid to proudly wear on their chests. But if you can't pick a …
I'll be honest, I don't have a whole lot of time for planning creative' first day of school photos for my kids. Between making sure everyone remembers to put on shoes after a no-shoe summer and packing up 47 pounds of school supplies, ou…
I happen to love back-to-school shopping, but I know not everyone does. Especially when it comes to kids and fashion trends. Because it can be a little torturous to figure out: A) ...what your kids like that they used to not like but now…
Ever since turning into the kind of a woman who wears slogan t-shirts with abandon (thanks, state of the world!) I have tried to work hard to know who the company is , and not just what the t-shirt says. That's why I adore companies like…
We love a good sale -- especially at a store with clothing as amazing as J Crew , where I know their kids clothes last me through multiple kids. Shop the non-sale items right now, use code ALLSTAR, and BOOM -- 30% off . But what's best i…
Father's Day of course means daddy-kid photo opps, and for some of us, that means daddy and me tees. So I've looked around for some creative, cool options and honestly, I think some of these daddy and me tees are the best anywhere. In ot…
This weekend, I had a lovely experience in my local Brooklyn coffee shop, bonding with two complete strangers over our matching RBG t-shirts . It's not all that surprising -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become quite the rock star and role mo…
I've had the best time searching for the coolest mermaid gifts for some of the mermaid obsessed kids in my life. After all, the mermaid trend shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. So this summer we're diving in with head-first with 17 …
I've always said that teaching children about love is the easiest thing in the entire world. So maybe the new picture book, Love Is Love , is more for some of the adults in our lives? Dr. Michael Genhart's sweet and moving story, illustr…
One of the best things about the rainbow clothing trend we've seen so much of lately is...it's really not a trend at all. Especially if you're a kid. After all, rainbows never go out of style. So if you're asking, When is a good time to …
When I discovered the Chalk of the Town t-shirts at Toy Fair 2018, I was so excited! The basics: chalkboard shapes like talk bubbles or hearts on a tee, that kids can write on with chalk markers, wash...then start all over again. Right a…
When Dustin wore a retro purple Thunder Lizard dinosaur sweatshirt from the Science Museum of Minnesota in season one of Stranger Things , fans cleaned out the museum's supply of Dustin's dinosaur sweatshirts faster than you can say NO B…

Ken Burns called our national park system, "America's Best Idea." And I have to say, the president's decision yesterday to eliminate more protected public land than ever before in US history -- nearly 2 million acres -- is absolutely dis…
Since the introduction to Harry Potter 20 years ago (wha-aa?) I can't think of a children's book that's resonated with so many kids and adults as RJ Palacio's Wonder . It's made my own daughters' lists of Favorite Books Ever, and they ad…
This Halloween, sure. You might want to put together the spookiest decorations , the coolest jack-o-lanterns , and the most creative costumes for your kids...but sometimes, that's just not realistic. No shame in that, we get it! And that…
Aren't cats the original hipsters? They sleep late, live on their own terms, and only pretend that you don't care what you think about them. But unlike real cats (and some real hipsters), they're a lot lower maintenance when they come in…
We are enamored of those tees for our kids featuring superheroes, pop culture references, rock bands, and sports teams. And they love them. In part because they know that we love that stuff, and they're pleasing us to show their allegian…
Like you, I'm a fan of sales. I'm also a fan of of J.Crew -- especially for kids' clothing , because it's always the perfect blend of well-made and "I wonder if they have that in my size." So when I saw that everything on the J.Crew Fact…
Kids outgrow trends so fast, there's something wonderful about animals, which our little kids love -- and our tweens and teens too. So next up in our 2017 Back-to-School Shopping Guide , we've put together a selection of the absolutely m…
I think it's safe to say that this is the year of Wonder Woman . Okay, so on this site, every year has been the year of Wonder Woman, but with the hit movie introducing her to a new generation, our kids are clamoring for Wonder Woman gea…
Back-to-school shopping with tweens and teens is like a whooole new thing. They have pretty strong opinions about what they love and don't love. Even more than preschoolers, if you can believe that. (Though at least they don't insist on …
