Posted on12. Mar, 2010 by Kate.
Just after – and I mean literally just after – I bought my beautiful black faced watch (with black band, though you can change the bands easily) from J. Crew, I found out in this month’s Glamour Magazine that WHITE watches are the new it accessory. White. Figures. White watches do, admittedly, look cool. (If [...]

Jewelry That Keeps Baby Close By
Posted on16. Sep, 2009 by Kate.
These keepsake necklaces are both touching and lovely. It could be simply a cool silver pendant but it really is your baby’s fingerprint. Or the first letter of her name. Or even a quote that warms your heart. Call me corny, but I love these. What appeals to me the most is their understated sentimentality [...]

OMG: A Snuggly for You and Baby
Posted on14. Sep, 2009 by Kate.
Introducing what may be the weirdest baby invention of the year: the Peekaru! I can imagine the inventor of this thing sitting around with friends (drinking heavily) saying, “I need a new pull-over but what about the baby strapped to me? I know, instead of taking little Tommy OFF before dressing, I’ll just make a [...]

Leafy Goodness
Posted on10. Sep, 2009 by Kate.
I stumbled on this website and couldn’t resist the pillows. I mean gorgeous. Lotta Helleberg at InLeafDesign.com uses non-toxic paints and dyes on natural fibers to lovingly create the most soothing of leaf designs on pillows, bags, linens, wall art and sachets. I’m wild about this pillow, though I’ll probably wait until my little girls [...]

Modern Baby Furniture Worth a Look
Posted on02. Sep, 2009 by Kate.
The Argington company was just brought to my attention and I wish I would have seen it two years ago when we were buying our nursery furniture.

Posted on27. Aug, 2009 by Kate.
Clearly my daughter has not inherited the “shoe” gene! We went to Stride Right the other day (great back to school sale going on, BTW) to get her some new shoes. Her tiny feet aren’t so tiny any more. And boy do they grow fast…I’ve never seen feet grow so quickly. We bought 2 pairs [...]

Finding a Modern Toddler Table
Posted on25. Aug, 2009 by Kate.
I’ve been on a quest to find a modern toddler table that will grow with our little one but won’t break the bank. Since we don’t have a playroom separate from the main living area of our house, I wanted the table to at least be pleasing to look at and fit in with our [...]

Pregnant While Chasing a Toddler: Reality Sets In
Posted on29. Jul, 2009 by Kate.
OMG! When thinking about the whole idea of having a second child, my husband and I forgot a number of crucial data points, which, unfortunately, have now reared their ugly heads. First, exhaustion. I mean, our toddler (20 months, now) is so precocious – she’s in to everything. It’s fun, at times, to catch her [...]

Posted on28. Apr, 2009 by Kate.
At less that two years old, my daughter, who sees me and my husband brushing our teeth each morning (she’s usually asleep by the time we do it at night) has taken a keen interest in the toothbrush. On a recent playdate, she even convinced her friend to join in on the fun. Since we’re [...]
