I generally prescribe to the "small boys are suitably dressed up for the holidays when wearing a cute sweater" school of thought, but sometimes that's not enough. Sometimes even little boys must wear a tie to be suitably (get it?) attire…
I don't know why I've spent all this time thinking about BPA in plastics but it never once crossed my mind to look into what's in my kids' toothbrushes. (Of course our friend Jen at the Smart Mama was thinking about BPA in kids toothbrus…
Right in time for Halloween, I stumbled upon this most adorable skull and crossbones scarf at Admiral Road, made out of the same soft, cozy fleece as their personalized fleece blankets. I can imagine that even the most difficult, scarf-e…
My daughter's going through a growth spurt, and any jeans without those little adjustable waist button-and-elastic dojobbies tend to sag to her rear's danger zone without an actual belt. I've spent the past several weeks plying her with …

Now that I have added another daughter to my brood, I have an extra excuse to shop for hair accessories. If I could, I'd go with absolutely every handmade girls' hair clip from the amazing mom-owned Tiny Sweets. I know, I know. That does…
Even with the adjustable waistband pants, my skinny-minnie still needs some help to prevent the little plumber's bottom, and Holly Stewart of Jane Edward makes belts that do just that. I admit that the sight of rick rack reminds me of th…
