Zutano Introduces ZUTANOBLUE at Target NYC event

Baby clothing sure has come a long way in the past 20 years.  When I was a tot, there was pastel pink or blue or, if you didn’t know whether you were expecting a boy or girl, you got muted yellow and green.  But now baby clothing comes in every color of the rainbow and in styles I can’t help but swoon over. 

It would be hard to pinpoint exactly when the switch to fashionably fun children’s wear happened, but my guess it was right around the time Zutano hit the market and turned the pastel baby clothing market on its head.  Just look at some of these adorable goodies from their collection.  Feel free to swoon, I’ll wait. 

Zutano Clothing
Almost makes me want another little one.  Almost.

Thanks to the combined efforts of Momtrends and Project Nursery, I recently spent some time with the wonderful people behind the Zutano brand at BlogHer and was amazed at how nice and personable they all are.    

We met up at the famous FAO Schwarz in NYC and had a delicious catered dinner from Tacombi.  While we ate, we learned a little bit about the company, why it started, and what its vision was – in the beginning and looking forward.  We even got to see the Zutano bicycle that founder Michael Belenky used to hand-deliver orders from all over the city.

CountryOutfitter Vintage Corral Boots in the City

When I first found CountryOutfitter through my friend Farrah over at The Three Under, the first thing I did was look for cowboy boots for the kiddos.  Even though they both already have cowboy boots, I was mostly looking for the next size up and loving all the various styles for kids that you just … Read more

New Barbie Apparel Line Available at Kmart {Our Barbie Fashion Show}

Recently Barbie has become a very big deal at our house.  Maybe this is because many of my old Barbie’s are making their way from Nana’s house or maybe it’s because the charm and ageless allure of Barbie is one that appeals to nearly every little girl.  But, whatever the reason, I’m thrilled that Barbie … Read more

Britax Boulevard 70 Convertible Car Seat {Review}

I wish someone had told me how many car seats I would eventually need to buy with two kids only two years apart in age.  From infant seats to travel systems to convertible and then booster, there’s more to this car seat gig than I originally realized.  But then this summer, when we finally got … Read more

Summer Fun with Crayola

With so much of our summer spent on-the-go, I’m always looking for ways I can entertain the kids easily, and hopefully infuse some learning opportunities in as well.  Crayola, the same company I rely on for our arts and crafts days here at home, has made it easy to learn and play on the road … Read more

Mouth Man Hoodies Bring Clothing to Life

My daughter has an amazing imagination.  There are numerous times she’s told me something so earnestly that I truly believed that there was a kitty on the porch or a butterfly out her window only to be told that “it’s just imaginary, mama”.  But, as much as she likes to imagine real-life scenarios, she also … Read more

Folding flexiBATH from Prince Lionheart

If you’re anything like me, you were beyond thrilled when you could finally throw away your old baby bathtub for good.  I got rid of our plastic molded tub as soon as my son could handle a regular bath, happy to reclaim our bath once and for all.  But, when I found out I would … Read more

An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars Airs this Saturday, July 14th!

My daughter is officially American Girl obsessed.  Specifically, she’s obsessed with McKenna, the 2012 American Girl Doll of The Year.    What started off as a “look, she’s from Seattle!” infatuation has quickly turned into full-blown adoration with McKenna and her story.  Now, much of the day is spent discussing whether McKenna would wear her hair … Read more

Thomas & Friends Toddler Swing {Review}

My kiddos love swingsets and could swing all day long if I let them.  Whenever we go to the park, we spend 90% of the time on the swings, and it’s always a struggle to get them to go anywhere else.  We thought about adding a small swingset to our yard this year, but instead … Read more
