Babble

I have a summertime inability to pass a Mr. Softee truck without seriously considering stopping to buy a popsicle. Sometimes several times per day. The only thoughts that prevent me from consuming fifty red-white-and-blue bomber popsicles per day are that they're pure sugar and have probably been...

These colorful forks and spoons by Sassy are ergonomically designed for the grips of little hands. They’re a design-worthy way to get your toddler’s tableside manners in progress as well as dishwasher safe, and their coolest feature? They turn colors when food is over 105-degrees to prevent inner mouth...

Smocking is one of those painstaking crafts that I wish I knew how to do, but will frankly just never take the time to learn (at least not as long as Lost is still on TV). A beautifully smocked dress or jumper is the kind of outfit that you ooh and ah over, and then pack away once your baby outgrows...

Remember the trend in the seventies of matching Mommy & Daughter dresses? My mother used to sew her own from a pattern. But there’s something less Little-House-On-The-Prairie-ish about matching mommy & baby t-shirts that feature Johnny Rotten’s sneer. Stardustkids in the UK silkscreens pop culture...

It’s not uncommon that I see babies outside on bright, sunny days and wince because they’re without sunglasses. UV-A rays can damage retinas, and UV-B rays can cause “corneal sunburn.” Anyone who’s ever tried to fix hard plastic sunglasses on a baby (or a dog, for that matter) knows that wearing sunglasses...

After hearing my sister share many, many stories about her days of working in a toy store and the bug-infested condition in which most plush toys arrive from overseas, she has scared me away from stuffed animals completely. However, Peacetoys creates Organic Foundlings : soft, organic cotton animals...

Maybe baby isn’t old enough yet to appreciate satin sheets, but who can resist a snuggly 100% cashmere blanket? Kinder Cashmere makes super-cute, super-deluxe cashmere blankets and carriage throws in gorgeous pastel shades with designs featuring seahorses, bunnies, whales, and sailboats. Probably not...

I, like fellow Droolicous blogger Erin , love the mail. The fact that for a few cents something you can hold in your hand can be sent to someone else clear across the country for them to hold is awesome. So when I saw this toy mailbox I knew I'd be blogging it. Sensibly named "Child's Wooden...

Earlier this month J essica Alba's friends threw her a baby shower , and like I mentioned before , the guests went home with a goodie bag of their own. Well, according to E! Online , one of the presents was this Swarovski Crystal encrusted tricycle by Glitzy Bella. Want to know how much? You'll...
