Easter is approaching, and that means we're going to dress the kids in polished pastel pieces, cute accessories (bow ties for the win!) and maybe even a fun fedora hat. Dressing up doesn't mean that the kids have to be uncomfortable, we found some great Oxford shirts for boys. ...read more

When my husband dresses the baby, it's typically a comedy of sartorial errors... Weather-inappropriate top, way-too-small pants (like, where did you find those?!), and mismatching socks. It's a hodge-podge of whatever clean items he can actually manage to pull together. It's ...read more

Excuse me while I gloat for a minute, and lemme just tell you how lucky I am to have a husband who is both a partner and a co-parent. It's funny, I used to refer to him a "hands-on dad," but I've stopped using that expression... Because it almost infers that most dads ...read more

Yo-ho, let's go!... Who's got a Jake fan? The pint-size pirate may have been promoted to Captain... but we still love this Talking Spyglass set! It comes with a talking bandanna head wrap, a treasure map, and, of course, a trusty spy glass for spotting Hook! It's a great gift ...read more

Like most energetic toddlers, my almost three year old is obsessed with "the playground." And it doesn't seem to matter if we're talking about an amazing fully tricked out "adventure land" or one measly tire swing and a mini slide... My guy doesn't discriminate. A playground is a ...read more
