Cool Mom Picks From March 2009
Some girls have all the luck, as the new Ses Petites Mains line will hereby demonstrate
Are you sick of us oohing and ahhing over our favorite girls clothings for spring yet? No? Good. (Yes? Tough.) Because once again, Beth Miles of Ses Petites Mains is wowing us with her new spring/summer collection of spectacularly gorgeous dresses and separates for girls, which now go all the way up to a size 10.

Because the Easter Bunny loves kids with food allergies, too
My daughter is allergic to milk, meaning her Easter basket is usually filled with jelly beans and stickers while her siblings chomp on those awesome chocolate bunnies. So this year, I'm planning ahead and ordering Divvies' hand-poured, solid chocolate bunny.

A website for crafts and activities of the non-lame variety
I like doing crafts with my daughter, but usually one of two things happens: either the craft I come up with is lame (like taping purple things to a piece of paper and writing purple at the top) or the sites I visit for inspiration assume that I have things like light corn starch and googly eyes on hand.

Watch your back, Jacques Pepin
My kids have grown up knowing how important food is to me, so it's not surprising that they are both fascinated by the kitchen. Children's cookbooks are a frequent gift at birthday and holiday time, but I'm usually very disappointed in how so many of them dumb down of food for kids.

Full of "Yo Ho Ho" but no bottle of rum
As the only boy with two older sisters, my son knows that he may get stuck playing dolls or carrying his toy cars around in a sparkly pink bag. He has always been a good sport when playing dress-up, donning whatever his sisters put on him, but I think it's high time he had some cool dress-up items of his own.

Tie dye - get it?
I've always wanted to create fancier dyed Easter eggs, but I have the artistic ability of a preschooler (no offense to any preschoolers). Now, with the Tie-Dye Eggs Kit by Maude + Claude, I can create decorated eggs that make me look like an Easter egg dying rock star in front of my kids.

Spring in bloomers
We hit a stretch of gorgeous weather here in Atlanta and aside from making me run out for a pedicure and shave my legs (ha!), these balmy spring days have me packing up all the long sleeved onesies and swapping in the warmer weather baby clothes.

Hip Hop Speaks to Children (And Their Parents)
I thought I knew what Hip Hop was, but after picking up the CD-and-book set Hip Hop Speaks to Children, I have a whole new appreciation for this diverse and often moving art form of "poetry with a beat."

Changing pads with personality (yes, there is such a thing)
After changing three little bums on the go, I've learned never to underestimate the power of a fantastic diaper changing pad. And while lots of diaper bags these days come with their own pads, the majority tend to be an after thought and not the prime feature.

Sending out an S.O.S.
There's nothing quite like those halcyon days with the new baby; the staying awake for hours on end, the endless crying, and--my personal favorite--the occasional complaint from a (usually childless) friend that you've fallen off the planet.

The sun will come out tomorrow
With that first peek of sunshine coming out through the clouds, I head straight for our stash of sunscreen which includes different bottles for faces, bodies, and mommies. Thanks to Azur Natural Sunscreen, I can use one bottle for all us and all our parts.
