lego heart necklaces

Thumbnail image for lego heart necklaces

One day our nanny came over sporting the most awesomeness necklace on the face of the planet: a Lego heart necklace. Knowing that Birdie loves her Legos, and so do her parents, what could I do but immediately head over to our local handmade goods boutique, I Like You, and nab a perfectly blue lego […]

kids tees with some attitude

Thumbnail image for kids tees with some attitude

It’s so rough to find T-shirts that aren’t silly, or covered in bows, or yet another image of trucks and trains. Well, Kid Inc’s new line of irreverent T-shirts may be just what you’re looking for. They’re updated riffs off of the classic Mr. Men and Little Miss series are hilarious. But I also love […]

get your storage on: best kids backpacks

Thumbnail image for get your storage on: best kids backpacks

My little precious Birdie is starting preschool this fall. Sigh. Big long drawn-out bittersweet proud momma sigh. We’re madly prepping over here with labels, extra potty training underwear (oh boy.), “indoor shoes”, and fall fashions that can withstand hours of playtime. But unlike labels and underwear, I can actually get excited about some of it […]

fall clothes: mexican to a tea

Thumbnail image for fall clothes: mexican to a tea

I’ve always loved Tea Collection’s approach to kids clothes. With their rich palettes, comfortable silhouettes, and slightly sophisticated prints, they find a lovely combo of adult and kid and roll it all together. But this fall’s collection is by far my favorite. I’ve been loving the Mexican, ethnic-y vibe showing up over the last couple […]

american apparel kids = awesome sauce

Thumbnail image for american apparel kids = awesome sauce

A brand as hip as American Apparel Kids needs a hip word, something cool, something like awesome sauce. Yep. A little over-the-top, a little uber-trend, makes your head tilt just a wee bit. But it’s worthy I promise. Just look at all this cuteness. I keep forgetting to check out American Apparel for anything beyond […]

Snug Studio snagged me with the perfect bit of bait: a beautiful wooden bird mobile. We unknowingly started a little bird-love avalanche around our house the moment we chose to name our daughter after a bird! And this beaute would be awesome in her room. But then I took a look around Snug Studio’s equally […]

Friends with You is a little indie brand I’ve loved for years. Birdie spent several months helping Malfi (that’s him above!) wear lots of necklaces. She liked to call him Ga-ga, because she thinks he’s a member-at-large of Yo Gabba Gabba. My friends think Malfi’s a chicken. I think he’s a big pile of adorable […]

These striking photos of babies and wigs are thanks to Opus, who’s tagline reads: Clothing for Droll Babies. Yep, I’d agree with that. See the modern yet ruffled collection  (some higher prices than my usual selections, but so original) on the Opus website and buy some Opus baby clothing here.

Holy Hannah, Mother’s Day is two weeks away! No wonder my husband was rooting around for ideas the other night, I thought it seemed awfully organized of him at the time. When in fact it just proves how unorganized I actually am, as usual! Mother’s Day is the best excuse for a giveaway. SimaG Jewelry […]

I’m offered a review copy from it’s publisher STC Craft/Melanie Falick […]

Yep, there may still be two feet of snow on the ground outside my window, but spring is so close I can taste it on the air! Next Direct’s new catalog arrived today, and it was the perfect moment for a little spring daydreaming. Based in the UK (but shipping from Florida for all of […]

We’re having another blizzard here – it ‘s pushing us close to a record year. In fact, today the weather is so bad that one of the classes I teach at MCAD (Minneapolis College of Art and Design) has been cancelled. It may sound odd, but here in Minnesota it’s rare for colleges to cancel […]
