It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown - Now at an hour when kids can actually watch
When I first got the email that the three Charlie Brown holiday movies were coming out in a deluxe DVD set, I nearly deleted it, because well, everyone knows about Charlie Brown, right? But then I remembered that every year I wait for the movies to come on so I can watch them with my preschooler, only to find that they start way after her bedtime.

The (Really Great) Okee Dokee Brothers
You aren't likely to find me at a folk music festival or a bluegrass jamboree, but I'm totally taken by The Okee Dokee Brothers' new release, Kids with Beards. This two-member band from Minneapolis make twangy, toe-tapping folk music with smart, funny lyrics that are equal parts hillbilly, seven-year-old boy and your favorite teacher.

An apple a day keeps the cobbler away
It is just not fair that there are items as cute as these cranberry apple baby booties in the world, considering I am absolutely done with childbearing. On the other hand, it's nice that I've got friends who are still churning out the puppies (ahem, Kristen) so that I have an excuse to buy them anyway.

A little bit of Paris in your life
I may not get to France anytime soon, but the collection of
school bags, shopping totes and bibs from French Artists at UK shop Lapin
& Me will have me dreaming of crepes, baguettes and the Tuilieries in springtime.

Mama Mio's Bootcamp for Boobs - A boob job in a box
The way I see it, with every baby I have my boobs drop a centimeter. That's not so bad when you're wearing a super duper mama bra, but not so great when you're letting them hang free for those precious 15 minutes before going horizontal at night.

Zobha Maternity - Pants for moms who say "Ohm." Also, "Oh man, I am so pregnant."
Oh sure, now that I'm almost done with my third pregnancy, scores of great maternity clothes are popping up everywhere. But considering how uncomfortable (and long) these last few weeks have been, I'm still shopping for anything that can get me through the home stretch without suffocating my belly.

About a girl
If my daughter wasn't going through the phase where I am not allowed to put anything in her hair besides my fingers, I might be stocking up on some cute hair accessories just about now.

Tis the Season for Very Cute Hats
With the weather changing even down here in the South (hooray!), I can finally rationalize shopping for fall-ish clothes for my kids, like sweaters, coats, and, of course, hats. Particularly if they include the handmade Flipside Hats found at the wonderful boutique, Cat in an Apron.

The Regional Assembly of Text - a store as cool as its name
As a bona fide word nerd, I was instantly taken with the name The Regional Assembly of Text, although I had no idea what it meant. (Sort of ironic if you think about it, huh.) As it turns out, this Quebec-based online shop curated by design grads Brandy Fedoruk and Rebecca Ann Dolenwas is entirely devoted to all things cool, designy and text-y.
