It's been two weeks since school started and to say that I've been leaving the house for drop-off looking halfway decent would be very generous. I haven't quite figured out the whole three-minute beauty routine , so thankfully I have som…
My kids love nothing more than looking at photos of themselves. In fact, if I'm hard pressed to find something to amuse them in the waiting room at the doctor's office or on the train, my go-to source is the camera roll on my iPad . Now …
The worst thing about buying baby clothes? The fact that those precious outfits will be outgrown way too fast. While of course lots of us try to hand our baby clothes down or resell them, not all of them are in shape to do that. In fact …
There may not be much cuter in life than teeny tiny baby feet. But with fall now nipping at our heels, it's time to think about socks. And if you're going to cover up something so adorable as baby toes, it might as well be with something…
Hoodies are wardrobe staples in our household. My husband, a hoodie addict with over 20 in his closet, has gotten my boys into sporting them too. For the most part, my guys wear boring old navy or black hoodies (yawn), with the occasiona…
I'm a sunscreen addict. I won't leave the house unless I'm slathered with the sunscreen. (And you wouldn't be mistaken if you saw two kids leave my house in the mornings looking like they were dipped in white paint.) But finding moisturi…
Gee, another place to eat sweets, opening in New York City? That's no big whoop. But when the new eatery serves up gourmet rice crispy treats (because Rice Krispy Treats would be a trademark issue, right?) in flavors like red velvet, bir…
I can't get my son out of this stroller. This is a good thing. Trust me. My two-year-old gives the Energizer Bunny a run for his money. That is, until I introduced him to this new ride from Bugaboo. Before the new Bugaboo Cameleon 3 , th…
I'm a huge fan of Maclaren strollers. In fact, out of all the strollers I've tried and tested over the years, the Maclaren Denim Quest is one of the only ones that has stood the test of time and tantrums. Their latest Object of Design la…
Thanks to the American Academy of Pediatrics's well-intentioned rule that babies under the age of two should remain in rear-facing car seats, there's plenty of cranky, uncomfortable toddlers out there, whining in backseats across the lan…
It's always tricky trying to figure out which bag to bring with me on when I've got the stroller in tow. My usual diaper bag is way too heavy and tends to topple the stroller if my son hops out. My purse, on the other hand, is too small …
If you'd told me a few weeks ago that I needed covers for my stroller handles, I would have been like, stroller handlebar covers? Riiiight. Well, guess what? Turns out it was love at first grip. The stroller handlebar covers from mom-cre…
For any mom with more than one child, finding the right double stroller is pretty much the search for the holy grail. The perfect buggy built for two should be easy to maneuver, fit through doorways, and allow you to convert it into a si…
Until now, I'd never realized that a highchair could be a style statement. I've always steered toward simplicity when it comes to kids' furniture , but the dazzling new highchair from Bloom has me positively wowed. The Fresco Chrome Spec…
The new Lollipop crib bedding sets from Bloom are mod, cool and have a luxe 300 thread count, which is exactly what you'd expect from the company that produces such baby gems as the new eye-popping Zen Stroller and the luxury Fresco High…
I'll admit the sun frightens me, especially where my little boys are concerned. But I don't let my fear keep us inside or under a tree--though I admit to having overloaded them with sunscreen until their limbs resembled a sheet of notebo…
Not too many women wish they were pregnant in the heat of August. But when I got a glimpse at Isabella Oliver's new fall/winter maternity collection, I admit almost wish I had a baby bump. The just-launched autumn/winter 2012 collection …
I've often wondered why strollers don't come with headlights. (Seriously, I think about such things.) Well, my wish has actually come true. The new Zen stroller from Bloom comes with--you guessed it--a headlight. But that's only one of t…
Don't even get me started on the hassle of shoe shopping for kids. The second my son started walking last month, I knew we were in for a new pair of shoes every couple of months, just like I had done for his older brother. But then I dis…
Updated with exclusive discount! Imagine sending your kids to a camp where they get to explore all the best sights and sounds of New York City for a week, with a huge educational component. Now imagine that you are visiting New York for …
Just because I want to avoid the sun, doesn't mean I want to spend my summer looking like a ghost. I know I'm not alone, which is why self-tanners have become so popular. And now, I've found the perfect beauty product that gives me a gor…
I've considered feeding my one-year-old naked. (As in, naked one-year old, not me.) Though there is art in the way he manages to splatter his outfit with every color and texture of the foods on his plate, I'd rather not change his cute o…
My one-year-old is a lightning fast crawler and he has the dirty knees to prove it. So I'm a big fan of baby leggings for more than mere fashion, especially when they're as uber-soft as this new option. The new Leggies Legwarmers from Li…
In the search for custom photo Mother's Day gifts, there's a fine line between creepy and cool. (Hint: you do not want to wear your baby as a hat.) But bespoke scarves from one of our favorite hip accessory designers? We think that's coo…
