This Halloween, sure. You might want to put together the spookiest decorations , the coolest jack-o-lanterns , and the most creative costumes for your kids...but sometimes, that's just not realistic. No shame in that, we get it! And that…
When Target released new clothing styles made just for kids with sensory issues , we all burst out with a collective "woo-hoo," because this is so meaningful to so many kids and parents. And we're "woo-hoo"ing again now, because today is…
If you know the joys of merino wool -- the four-season wool that doesn't feel like wool at all -- or you have a kid with fabric sensitivities or discerning preferences but need something heavier than cotton, you'll definitely want to tak…
One of the fun things about getting old -- ahem, I mean being a parent -- is seeing the trends we loved as kids reemerge on our own kids. Case in point: DIY customized denim jackets. Not only are they on trend this fall for back-to-schoo…
We are enamored of those tees for our kids featuring superheroes, pop culture references, rock bands, and sports teams. And they love them. In part because they know that we love that stuff, and they're pleasing us to show their allegian…
Like you, I'm a fan of sales. I'm also a fan of of J.Crew -- especially for kids' clothing , because it's always the perfect blend of well-made and "I wonder if they have that in my size." So when I saw that everything on the J.Crew Fact…
Scratchy tags, raised seams, and puffy patches on shirts or pants may seem like little things to a lot of us, but they can be big deals for kids with sensory issues. So leave it to Target to create a line of new sensory-friendly kids' cl…
Back-to-school shopping with tweens and teens is like a whooole new thing. They have pretty strong opinions about what they love and don't love. Even more than preschoolers, if you can believe that. (Though at least they don't insist on …
Australian brand Cotton:On Kids makes some really cool kids' clothes , and they may have just outdone themselves with a new line of 100% cotton scratch n' sniff tees , PJs , and accessories like a fun popsicle pencil case and jelly bags …
Looking at all the space-themed school supplies and cool gear we're this year, we were thinking...wow, we could do a whole post on this! So, that's just what we did. In fact for this year's annual back-to-school shopping guide we decided…
The thrill of watching a joyful toddler play in the ocean is almost enough to outweigh the pain-in-the-neck routine of swim diapers and sunscreen and sand and coverups. Not to mention the wagon full of towels, toys and other gear . But I…
Several times a year, I stalk my inbox for notifications about the seasonal Tea Collection sales. And now, right in time for summer (and my kids' outgrowing everything, sigh), here it is again! With nice prices on their Australian-inspir…
But did you know that Target offers these kids’ tees that support their #takepride initiative?
Kids' activewear is kind of a funny phrase, if you think about it, since kids are such constant blurs of motion -- it's like every piece of clothing turns into activewear, purposefully or not. Which is what makes the new GapKids and Marv…
Each spring, one of our readers' favorite posts is our recommendations for cute, modest swimsuits for girls that are stylish but not...you know...a little old for them. We'll have our latest version coming soon! But in the meanwhile, I'm…
The spring cleaning bug has hit, and I'm getting ready to tackle my kids' closets. It's a big job. And today of all days, being that it's Earth Day, I'm inspired to think greener when it comes to my kids' clothes. While I'm not a fan of …
While I want to be a little cynical about the brand new GAP collection of Star Wars 40th anniversary clothes and accessories for kids and adults , that just launched today I have to admit here...it's awesome. Like, design snob seal of ap…
After years in a job for which I'm forced to click past baby tees with slogans like "I get my mom's looks and my dad's ability to nap all day" (not even kidding) what a joy to find this new Strong Like Mom t-shirt at Target. The best par…
If we ever needed one more reason to wish we could blink and have it be June, it's so we could slip our girls in this ridiculously adorable shark romper from Rosie Pope . A shark romper! For babies! And girls! You can understand my excit…
Like the rest of the country, I've been a little Hamilton -obsessed lately. So when I found these hip, historical t-shirts for kids at Wee Rascals that have that same hip, historical bent as the musical that's on everyone's mind these da…
Bad news, cool kids: American Apparel is closing their factories and basically being cannibalized and moving to Canada. So much for "designed, cut, and sewn in Los Angeles." Yes, the company has their share of controversies, but they alw…
Trying to get your toddler to quit squirming long enough for you to wriggle on a pair of mittens is basically a parenting rite of passage. One much easier said than done. Which is why I'm so impressed with the lightweight kids' fleece pu…
I admit I am very skeptical of subscription boxes of clothing like Stitchfix (we published a terrific, brutally honest she said/she said post on it that's worth a read) since I have very particular tastes and I tend to know what shapes I…
I don't know about the rest of the country, but down here in Nashville we went from about 80-degree days to 30-degree mornings overnight. And before I knew it, I was fumbling through our coat closets to pull out last year's jackets for t…
