My family and I spent a scant half-hour in the basement last night as the result of tornado sirens and warnings in our area. Thankfully, we witnessed no more than a heavy rain, but it was time enough to realize that we were not prepared to keep the kids entertained and distracted while we […]

Almost all my son’s clothes are gifts from family and friends so, truth be told, I don’t really have an idea how much children’s clothing costs. But the few pieces I have priced shocked me because they often cost more than my own clothes!
In the UK, consumer group Which? is taking issue […]

Japan is a great place to go for unique and innovative children’s clothing and toys. We lived there for almost five happy years and my son was born there so we’ve got quite a few children’s items that no one else we know has like a jungle gym complete with slide that’s made of […]

A blue chinchilla vest for the young “modnitsi” by the Russian designer Marusya
Roberto Cavalli boots that might fit a 5-year-old
Mini-me Dior Jean jackets for €400 to match mom’s

Nickelodeon has teamed up with the Brown Shoe Company to make shoes featuring popular Nick Jr. characters, including Go, Diego, Go! and Backyardigans. They’re planning casual shoes, boots, sport fusion athletic shoes and slippers.
In my experience, fun character shoes for kids are almost always not the most well-made. They’re often stiff with poor […]

Oh, the happy day when my toddler began to wear underwear AND remembered to use the toilet instead of treating them as diapers. Now we have the task of finding fun, yet comfortable underpants. No luck yet.
The sizing on Hanes underpants must be off because even though my son is on the small […]
