We love finding cool, unique baby boutiques, especially ones owned by moms (and their moms). The downside is that sometimes these amazing shops close as the owners move onto other endeavors, which is the case with Bean New York. The upsi…
Quick, how old was your baby when he started rolling over? What were her favorite foods? When did he first laugh? If you're anything like me (seriously, I've been known to forget their birthdays and mix up their middle names on occasion)…
Today, Bugaboo voluntarily recalled the Cameleon and Donkey strollers that have detachable carrycots/seats. A button on the seat carry handle can become disengaged and detach. No injuries have been reported, and the safety risk has been …

Back when my now-tween was a babe, the one piece of equipment I dreaded using above almost anything else was her "portable" playpen. It weighed a ton, pinched my fingers every time I tried to assemble it, and just looked like a big ugly …
In my neck of the woods, it seems the snow is now here to stay. And with the cold, snowy weather comes the whining. And the complaining. And the putting-a-pair-of-mittens-on-your-toddler-sixteen-times because you know, he keeps pulling t…
What can destroy the yearly family photo calendar, ruin the shoulder of your holiday sweater, and repel grandmothers in a single bound? Answer: It's the little kid with the green snot waterfall and the gnarly red snot rash. And that, dea…
While our annual guide to the best baby shower gifts is always a smart place to search for the coolest baby gifts and gear, so many fabulous new gear essentials have come out in 2012 that we're excited to share some of our very favorites…

Several years ago, we introduced you to a new line of wonderful aromatherapy-based skin care products from hellomellow. All this time later, I still really like their body butter--and the room spray, which I've used more than once in my …
Why maternity lingerie? Well between the well-meaning but okay-enough-already belly touches of visiting relatives and feeling like your burgeoning bump is making you look a bit too much like Santa himself, holidays can be rough on a mama…

I am definitely not one for gimmicky baby and new mom products that you really don't need. That's probably why you don't see a lot of stroller accessories on here, or stuff like the dreaded wipes warmer. (Sorry to those of you who love t…
One of my favorite categories on our Holiday Gift Guide this year is first Christmas gifts for babies that are all handmade. Recently we shared an entire selection of great first holiday gifts for baby (lots of handmade goodness there to…
Sure, babies are cute and all. Still, sometimes a mama has to set her wee one down in a safe place so she can do something really exotic--like wash her face, or maybe flush a toilet. Quelle horreur! When they can't crawl yet (oh, the lux…
I remember once dressing my daughter like a mini-fashionista--just for a trip to the grocery store. Yeah, I was that mom. But hey, you have far better excuses for a fabulous baby girl outfit right now, like say 6 weeks worth of holiday v…
For the past few years, my husband has kicked off November cleanly shaven and ended it in full mustache-mode. I don't even complain because he's doing it for Movember , an annual worldwide mustache-growing fundraiser to raise awareness a…
It seems like no matter when you have a baby, a couple years later there's a new product on the market you wish you'd had at the time. If it's baby time right now in your world or a friend's, you won't want to miss this snuggly wonder. *…
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've discovered the joys of babywearing, then you know that slings can be as addictive as shoes and cute dresses. But now we've found a super-light buckle baby carrier that shares the same magic as that perfect little black dress yo…
