American Girl releases Caroline Abbott, the newest Historical Character

A few weeks ago, my preschool-aged daughter and I started learning about the War of 1812. Yes, I know it’s a bit late for me to be learning about a war I should have learned all about in High School and I also know it’s a bit early for her to start learning about war … Read more

The Children’s Place holiday 2012 preview NYC event

We love The Children’s Place and are very lucky to be surrounded by numerous store locations so we can pop in frequently to see what’s new for the season. But, this year I got a bit of a sneak peak of the holiday line while in BlogHer and it was adorable.

The Children’s Place holiday preview was one of the many NYC events hosted by the amazing Nicole Feliciano of Momtrends. The event took place in the heart of midtown at the historic Bryant Park Hotel and just a short walk from the BlogHer convention.

Liz from A Nut in a Nutshell, Xenia from Thanks, Mail Carrier, and me. We were THERE! TOGETHER!

Coming in from a hot and humid day on the streets of New York, when we arrived on the Momtrends suite level, it made it immediately feel a few dozen degrees cooler. With “snow” drifts and winter clothing meeting us at the door, it was as if we stepped right inside a large snowglobe full of cute – with an amazing view of the city.

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.

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
