Did any of you get your silhouette cut by the artist on Disneyland’s Main Street when you were a child? What a treasure! Is the shop still there? Until we can go and see, on my wish list for Hudson: a custom-made silhouette by Love & Victory.

I spotted these starry luggage pieces–a rolling overnight case and a boxy train case–on Fifth Avenue in the JCrew kids’ department. I want them for myself! (And maybe this and this, too.)

I was on the phone with my mother-in-law last Friday and she asked me if I had any plans for my birthday. (Which happens to be today!) I had completely forgotten that it was coming up. (Which I promise you is not typical.) Someone else’s recent birthday has had me a bit distracted. I feel […]

Teeny-tiny baby footwear might just be one of the cutest things. Ever. (Well, right after teeny-tiny baby toes.) Pairing up little socks when we did our first load of laundry elicited a good deal of oohs and ahhs. And when he needs shoes, I would love to see him sporting a pair of these! Aren’t […]

One of my favorite toys when I was growing up was my Fisher-Price turn-table. I vividly recall playing “America” from West Side Story and singing along for my grandmother while playing with the speeds. (I was such a ham!)

Have you heard of this Swedish Snotsucker (aka nasal aspirator)? I was telling Aron about it the other day and it went something like this… Me: “There’s this thing called Nosefrida that everyone seems to really love for clearing a baby’s nose. You suck through a tube against his nose and the suction draws out […]

Some favorite, inexpensive discoveries of late (these would make great gifts for little and big kids alike): 3-D Magical Drawing Pad, Dragon Hands (or Animal Hands or a host of other temporary tattoo options for talking hands), and the adorable Thumbprint Notecard Set. We tested the 3D drawing pad and it really works!

Michelle Lehmann and her husband Daniel recently launched a new retail site called reCrib where you can find gently used, brand-name baby gear. The items for sale tend toward high-end and so the prices still tend toward steep. But if you had your hopes set on this $730 Oeuf Crib, you might be pretty excited […]

What a sweet idea! A bedtime scroll modeled after vintage bus rolls by MySweetPrints. You can even send a note to the designer if your routine varies!

I’ve really gained a new appreciation for necklaces while being pregnant: I love the way they can dress up a basic maternity tee, and the elongating effect of the right necklace can feel flattering. I think I might have developed a new shopping interest. So while the concept of a teething necklace at first makes […]
