In honor of Flag Day today, which commemorates the adoption of the American Flag, I rounded up some of my favorite interpretations of American flag t-shirts for kids. I know that when I was a kid, I absolutely adored my denim vest printe…
I have a soft spot for twee animal products in general, but when I received Lewis, the snuggly, adorable travel blanket with the sweet raccoon face, I found myself in a blissful, childlike state, wanting to run outside and climb the near…
We could not be more excited that famed Japanese author-illustrator, Taro Gomi (you know him, the author behind the widely popular Everyone Poops ), recently released a new boxed set called Growing Together. We think it's the perfect gif…
We've found the cutest new children's toy, and it includes fairy dust. Or a treasure map. What more could any child want, really? The new, cool nature kits from Rose & Rex are what little kids' dreams are made of, packed neatly into a cu…
Sunglasses have the power to make a cute summer outfit very hot. That said, I often find myself buying cheap sunglasses hurriedly, without too much thought for style, at the point that I realize I've lost, or, uh, sat on, a go-to pair an…
I love that this year skin is...well, out. Or at least, it's a little more covered up, as we can see from the trends toward more stylized rash guards, high-waisted swim bottoms, and sexy one-pieces instead of bikinis. And let's not forge…
It's summertime, and lemons are everywhere. I'm making pie. Beyoncé's making music . And now babyGap is partnering with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), an organization dedicated to curing childhood cancer, with an exclusive coll…
I must admit, I was very intrigued when I first heard the idea for Amazing Water , a new book with accompanying CD that introduces kids to classical music and the way that water -- namely, rivers, oceans, the canals of Venice -- has insp…
The internet's been all atwitter about the re-release of the Misty Copeland Barbie doll . Can we blame the buzz? It's Misty Copeland -- brilliant prima ballerina, African-American trailblazer, and all-around girl crush . Apparently we're…
I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it, thanks to its luminous illustrations. I shouldn't be surprised that Lane Smith was behind them, the artist known for kids' classics like The Stinky Cheese Man , The True Story of the …
I was super excited to hear about Mo Willems latest, The Thank You Book , a new adventure in friendship between Gerald and Piggie that's launching today. The one downside: this is the 25th and final book in the Elephant & Piggie series (…
We love Mother's Day gifts that give back and so I was happy to learn about ProFlowers's collaboration with All Across Africa , an organization that handcrafts the most beautiful woven vases and baskets in crisp, colorful patterns. Every…
How do you repay the woman who gave you endless encouragement, provided countless meals, sacrificed hundreds of hours of sleep, put a roof over your head, and stood cheering in oppressive heat or laughable rainstorms for an unforgivable …
We've been fans of Jessica Seinfeld's charity Baby Buggy for a long while now. For the past 15 years, they've provided more than 20 million essential children's supplies to low-income families in NYC and LA, and our own editor Liz is amo…
I'm on bedtime duty when I visit my nieces, which means snuggling up and diving into really good stories -- tales of women beating the odds and achieving great things. Well, sorta. When we're done poo-pooing at the lions with Madeline , …
I love the idea of Mother's Day quote prints featuring our favorite quotes about motherhood. Whether it's coming from kids who don't always know how to express their affections (I'm looking at you, teens) or just from those of us adult c…
This Mother's Day I will be shopping not only for the woman who brought me into this world, but also (and for the first time ever) for my mother-in-law. Which is probably why the Like a Mom necklace from Dogeared caught my eye in a big w…
My five brilliant nieces are marching their way toward adolescence (well, one of them is technically crawling her way there at this time), and while I do my best to introduce them to the joys of science, Star Wars, sports, and all the po…
I've just discovered the cutest new handbag, The Kinsley Kat, and it's likely to be pouncing to the top of a few of our accessory wish lists for spring. Designer Sylvia Soo created this adorable clutch for her young niece, but its unders…
