Do you remember those first few days of summer vacation when you were little? Those mornings when you were so happy you didn’t have to get up and get ready for school–that you could stay in bed and sleep in? Those were the best. That why we love the idea of giving her a little summer-vacation present: a lovely set of pretty sheets. This Simply Shabby Chic True Blue Stripe Sheet Set is ideal.
Along with the bathing suit, a good cover-up should be part of the fun-in-the-sun arsenal. In addition to the sunscreen, towel, flippers, goggles, and other assorted toys, a cover-up should also make the list. When an hour in the pool turns into an all-afternoon event, tossing a cover-up on will lessen sun exposure and risk of sunburn. We found a cute options that we’d wear, if they came in our size.
Maybe it’s our fascination with the Wild West. Maybe it’s that we really need a ranch vacation. Whatever the reason, we’re currently obsessed with the rough-and tumble Western horse trend.
Real leather for $15? Yes. And it’s also awesome, super-cool leather. We predict your little guy will love these “Jumpshot” sneakers from The Children’s Place. And here are a few reasons you’ll love them just as much: the genuine leather, perforated for breezy comfort; a cushioned footbed has anti-bacterial treatment to keep his feet fresh; the non-marking resin rubber outsole has texturing for traction.
From the age of five months until she was over one year old, my daughter loved her Einstein activity center. there are a few options, with varying price points, but we went for the standard/basic model and we definitely got our money’s worth. She bounced, spinned, and wiggled in it every day.
We all like the idea of the baby food pouch. It’s easier to take on-the-go. It’s easier to store. Plum Organics is, as you can tell from the name, organic. What’s not to like? Well, up until now, the fear of “pouch squeeze.” Similar to the unfortunate “juice-box squeeze,” the pouch problem occurs when said contents are forced out of the container. On to you. And/or the baby you’re trying to feed. It stinks.
You can’t deny it: a baby in a romper is cute. When the rompers themselves are adorable, and then you pair them with a chubby little girl, it will melt you. Little rolls spilling out from a bubble of fabric? Absolutely irresistible. This summer, Baby Gap rompers are absolutely beyond adorable. The fabrics are light and airy, the shapes are easy, and the patterns and colors are a sweet-stylish combo.
Sure, Dora is great. But do you really want her splashed all over everything? There is a time and a place for “the Explorer,” and we happen to think the bedroom is not one of those places. We like to think of a girl’s bedroom as a quiet, serene space. Which is why we immediately think of Serena & Lily when our friends ask for decorating tips.
Stella McCartney was designing a children’s line for Gap, we got all excited. Gap’s clothing is great to begin with; add an awesome designer and who knows how good it could get. Well, we found out last fall, with the arrival of little band jackets and tulip dresses. Almost everything sold out immediately.
Now that the nice weather has finally arrived, daily outings will become part of the routine (hooray!). Pack your bag full of easy to transport, healthy (and in this case, all organic) snack options that will make being nutritionally responsible a snap. Here, a few of our favorites.
