Kids and Bubbles: The Dynamic Duo of Childhood

Honest Bubble Bath

In the great words of one of my favorite movies, Knocked Up, “I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles. That’s sad. Totally sad. Their smiling faces just point out your inability to enjoy anything.” Today is Bubble Bath Day, and I fully intend to celebrate the holiday with a bathtub [...]

Give The Dog A Rest

RH Baby Shaggy Plush Animal Rocker

I am going to develop an ‘easy button’ for our house, but instead of saying “that was easy” it is going to say “leave the doggies alone, they want to sleep.” I could really use some credited time and breath back from all of the times this is uttered every day in our house. The [...]

When The Dog Bites

♫ I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad. ♫ Or, more likely, I simply buy some new favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad. Does anyone else go on a binge when they are down? I know it’s not a healthy, long-term solution, yet I do feel a little [...]

Have You Tried the Hellomellow Kiddo Line?

kiddo-body-butter-2

I usually don’t get too worked up about diaper balm. It seems as if we’ve tried a bazillion different kinds and all are mostly similar. I recently splurged on the Hellomellow diaper rash bum and body butter, though, to take advantage of a 50% off coupon that I had. The bottom (pun fully intended) line [...]

Moses Basket and Cable Knit Bedding

Restoration Hardware Moses Basket and cable knit bedding

This has got to be one of the least practical and possibly dangerous baby products that I have lusted after. The moses basket with cable knit bedding from Restoration Hardware looks like such a luxe place for a baby to sleep that I have stared at it longingly for years. Forget that the bumper is [...]

Aviva Stanoff Cashmere Hooded Sweater

Aviva Stanoff

The Baby Love Sale on MyHabit.com today includes the Aviva Stanoff cashmere hooded sweater with ears, a terrific baby sweater that has been featured a few times in the past. The sweater is on sale for $110 today, normally retailing for $245. I love that the ears are bunny shaped for girls and bear shaped [...]

Baby’s Crunk Cup

Young Versace Bottle Holder

Wow. Um… I’m not even really sure what words would describe a Versace Diamante Bottle Holder. This may be the ultimate “it” accessory soon to come to a baby yoga class near you. How foolish do you feel, packing your kid’s milk in a generic nylon bag? You have obviously missed an opportunity to add [...]

Baby CZ Cashmere

Baby CZ Cashmere Pant $139

File this under something that Anna will probably never own, at least not while I am financing her wardrobe – cashmere pants. I am constantly drawn to baby cashmere items because they look so comfy and the knit seems like a perfect match for a snuggly baby. Unfortunately they are usually crazy expensive also. If [...]

A Closet Most Girls Would Dream Of

I am a fan of the blog The Coveteur and I recently stumbled onto this photo again of Kiernan Shipka’s closet. Sigh. Nevermind the fact that I want a closet this gorgeous (and organized!) for myself, but even more amazing would be a closet like this filled with adorable girls clothes for Anna.
