Check any girls’ clothes wish list (is there such a thing?) for spring, and you’ll find a tunic layered over leggings. Call it a chip off the old block–after all, it’s become one of the mommy staple outfits for several seasons now–but it appears to be one look that girls and their moms can agree on without launching World War III. One cute tunic/leggings combo that caught our eye is from the new Oshkosh B’gosh Basics line. It’s playful yet practical, and goes from classroom to playground without a hitch. The rest of the line includes polos, tees and skorts in everyday colors and stripes guaranteed to please even the most temperamental fashionista. We can appreciate that the entire Basics collection won’t break the bank [&hellip

Any parent can tell you that what they see as an empty laundry basket, their child sees as a boat beckoning them aboard. An empty mayonnaise jar is a safe haven for lightning bugs…and the list goes on. Because children have an inherent sense of curiosity, they are hardwired to explore and discover their world. Surely moms and dads alike can relay memories of their child demonstrating this curiosity. One particular instance that comes to mind was when my 6-year-old who was 3 at the time decided she wanted to see if cracked eggs would fit back together, and so she proceeded to experiment without my knowledge–or permission. Can you picture it?.. Baby Einstein must have had this very sense of curiosity in mind when [&hellip
It may be the Year of the Rabbit according to the Chinese calendar, but around our house, the Year of the Hoodie prevails. It’s a fashion trend that is carrying over from adult to kid, and has moved off the runways and into the closets of many a family. A stylish, yet casual alternative to the “I’m-so-fed-up-with-sweaters-already” look, we’re noticing hoodies on everyone from hip to be square TV geeks like Leonard from “The Big Bang Theory,” to the modern day Renaissance Man James Franco. Celebrities aside, the hoodie is a look that works for everyone. I love my own navy preppy Polo zip-up peeking out from a fitted denim jacket–a perfect “what, this old thing? I just threw on whatever was clean” excuse. My [&hellip
When your child thinks of his favorite childhood friend, don’t be surprised if he mentions a particular red furry friend. I know my toddler would count him among one of her best stuffed buddies. Not sure who I’m referring to? Why, it’s none other than Elmo who celebrates his birthday today. In honor of this guy’s special day, Sesame Workshop is culling favorite memories of Elmo fans big and small to post on Elmo’s Facebook page. Did your first-born carry his Elmo doll around with him, wherever he went? Did your little one reserve a spot for Elmo at the dinner table? Maybe singing “Elmo’s World” was the only way to coax your daughter into the tub. No matter the memory, we invite you to [&hellip

Kids and clothes….now there’s a favorite topic among today’s parents. If you’re looking for an argument waiting to happen, you’ve got it. Sometimes, trying to win the “battle of the morning outfit” is much like trying to dig out from under all this snow; try as hard as you might, you get practically nowhere! Maybe that’s why it was so meaningful to bond over bagels with like-minded moms (and dads) at yesterday’s Haddad Mommy Bloggers Brunch in NYC. (That’s me, third one from the left.) Together, we lamented over everything from avoiding dressing room try-ons, to the TV shows and movies that influence our kids’ clothing preferences. I’m excited to be part of this team that will be covering fashion trends from Nike and Levi’s [&hellip
