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
As the saying goes, “There’s a place for everything, and everything has its place.” And if there’s one place you don’t need used tissues, half-eaten lollipops and the like, it’s your purse. I’m vowing to keep my own new bag as clean as possible this year (I’m considering it my own personal New Year’s resolution, one that I’m doing my darnedest to keep). But rather than taking time to regularly discard credit card receipts, gum wrappers and broken crayons, I can denote a special spot just for this type of refuse. Go Gaga’s Stuff Sack is the answer to the disorganized mother’s prayers–and who can’t appreciate that? This generously sized bag is odor-proof, leak-proof and moisture-proof. Dirty diapers? The Stuff Sack is ready for them. [&hellip
Practically every Saturday night is takeout Japanese in my family. What started out as a convenient way of grabbing dinner on my way home has developed into a tradition that we’ve come to relish. The fact that my 2-year-old is learning to use my chopsticks and that my 6-year-old knows her sushi from her sashimi is something we can be proud of–really. Perhaps it’s my love for Japanese food that prompted me to take a closer look at the Bento ultimate diaper bag. There aren’t too many other bags that I’ve seen with their own Bento box for keeps baby foods and snacks mess-free in their own separate containers. An insulated cooler bag and freezer pack keep a stash of grapes cool…so you can keep [&hellip
Remember when you opened a diaper bag at your baby shower and it practically screamed “I’m a Mommy…and there’s nothing I can do about it!”?…Well, the days of satchels adored with pastel bunnies and fuzzy ducklings are long gone, thanks to a number of designers that recognize that women don’t have to leave their sense of fashion behind just because they now have kids. One brand worth checking out is the CoCaLo Couture Diaper Bags, a versatile accessory that can help update your grown-up ensemble in a pinch. Not only is there plenty of room inside to stash all your baby necessities, but from the outside, no one will ever believe you’ve actually got wipes and Pampers in there. The bags are available in satchel [&hellip
Sometimes, I feel like I understand what it must be like to be an octopus. Between holding my 2-year-old’s hand while managing grocery bags and my own purse, I can still amazingly get my key in the front door. While I may not have as many appendages to master all the feats of the day, a multitasking bag can sure do the trick. The new line of timi & leslie 2-in-1 backpacks are true workhorses that work double time (kinda like us moms). You can either wear the bag as a backpack, or zip up the backpack straps and wear it as a messenger bag. This versatility helps convey that “Yeah, I’ve got my stuff together” look…even if it’s all a ruse. Would you believe [&hellip
Traveling with a little one this holiday season? Good luck. When packing for a trip to Grandma’s, it can feel like you’re carrying everything but the kitchen sink in your arsenal. Wipes and diapers? Check. Bottles and bibs? Got it. Pack ‘n Play, play gym?….Wait, we’re running out of trunk space here. To make your load a little lighter, check out the Baby Lounge to Go. This versatile product wears many hats: it’s a bassinet, activity gym, and changing place all in one. Pull up the canopy and let baby take a snooze. When she’s awake, add the attachable toy bar and she’s got a secure place to play. Plus, the waterproof pad stands up to on-the-go diaper changes. And once you’re ready to pack [&hellip
While stuck in traffic this past weekend in Staten Island, I happened to glance over at a car that had pulled off to the side of the road. The hatch was open and inside sat a little girl on top of a potty seat while being attended to by her mom. Needless to say, she (the mom) did not look happy…not just because her travels were interrupted by a small bladder, but I’m guessing she was thinking about what she’d have to contend with afterwards. My Carry Potty seeks to make potty-training on the go a little less…well, messy. At first glance, it resembles a colorful carrying case whose contents are a mystery. Open it up and you’ll find an ample-sized seat where your little [&hellip
