For as long as my oldest daughter has refused to wear pajamas, I've been on a search for a cotton nightgown. And if you've got a little one like mine, then you know that they are pretty much impossible to find.Comments: 0 | Find More: Kids Clothing
I'm not going to lie to you: When I opened the Morph-O-Scopes Kit box my daughter received for her birthday one year, I was unimpressed. Some crayons. A shiny cup. And a bunch of coloring pages with a hole in the center, the images all stretched out and weird looking.Comments: 0 | Find More: Toys and Other Playthings
The new shop Green Eyed Monster isn't about jealousy; it's about sustainability. But that's not to say if you go shopping there that you won't find something that will make people wildly jealous. Comments: 1 | Find More: Doodads and Random Bits of Coolness
As so many of you know by now, in Cool Mom Picks land, Etsy is always the place to look for the nursery decor that won't make you say, "That looks just like that print I saw at the store...." Comments: 1 | Find More: Art+Decor (Sounds Fancy)
I'm going to go ahead and admit it right here: I'm in my early thirties, and I love books written for teens. I know I'm not alone because the YA genre, or Young Adult, is awesomely popular right now. Comments: 0 | Find More: Websites
Even though I haven't had a baby around here in just under two years, I still use my aden + anais muslin swaddling blankets. But with a new little one arriving soon, I might just have to splurge and add more of their amazing swaddlers to my collection - this time from their new organic line.Comments: 2 | Find More: Bedding and Blankets, Burps and Bibs
I love the back-to-school rush -- the shopping and planning and anticipation. But because I both have boys and send my kids to a school with uniforms, I always wind up feeling a little short changed in the back-to-school shopping arena.Comments: 6 | Find More: Baubles & Bags
Those of you with little ones probably cannot imagine the day when your tween despairingly announces that her glasses make her look like "a total dork," but I'm here to tell you that it happens. And suddenly your kid is big enough to wear contact lenses, and yes, she promises to take good care of them and wash them properly and be mature and careful and... what? How long has she been wearing that pair? Um... a while?Comments: 2 | Find More: Doodads and Random Bits of Coolness, Tweens + Big Kids
I've learned that as my kids get older, they will have plenty of time to use their decked out backpacks with the 400 pockets and zippers. And I'll have lots of chances to clean them out. But for my little preschooler, I'm digging the new simple canvas backpacks from Blabla Kids.Comments: 2 | Find More: Backpacks, Lunchboxes + Bags for Kids
I think I've discovered party favor central. And much to my delight, it's not in a mall or a half-abandoned shopping center, which is where those party favor stores seem to be in New York. In fact, it's not even in New York. It's in Wisconsin. But you can reach it through Etsy.
You'll also find ice cream cups and stripey paper straws in every color, plus cupcake papers from ginghams to polka-dots to a very rowr leopard print. Comments: 0 | Find More: Misc Paper Goods, Party Time!
