Being the geek that I am, I appreciate geeky stuff. Some women dream of receiving jewelry, elegant handbags, and beautiful bouquets of flowers from their partner, but my idea of a great gift is a new computer, cell phone, PDA, or basically anything technology or gadget-related (I do like the flowers, too, every one in [...]

There is so much emphasis on separating “girl” items from “boy” items. We went to the store the other week to find a moving toy, such as a car, for Pooky. We found a small Thomas the Tank Engine toy in the section labeled “Boy Toys.” C’mon now, why does this social conditioning need to [...]

Have you ever come across a piece of clothing and thought, if only it came in a different color or I love that fabric but not with that color? At Hand Picked Pumpkin, they came up with a solution with their custom made infant clothing.
You choose a garment (tees, hoodies, pants, and more) and size, [...]

These vintage-style matching leather booties and shirt sets are really very cute. They’re made by Portland-based company Three Little Monkey’s and would make great gifts for a lucky baby. It’s always nice to see culturally appropriate options in babywear, such as the “Rainy Day” design above, which features your choice of an African-American, Asian, or [...]

One of the things I definitely want to get together for Pooky is a small box of dress up clothes to encourage imaginary play (and for my own entertainment as well). Although I tend to be pretty resistant to girly girl products, I can see adding a poofy tutu from PrissyPoofs to this dress up [...]

I’m not really a hat person. I have a few hats in the closet that I keep around for those really cold days, but more often than not, I forget to wear them on those really cold days.
Nowadays, though, I’m always on the hunt for cute baby hats. Pooky has just started to try [...]

You won’t find anyone else creating designs like the ones at Focoloco. Founder Suzy Helme has created these original designs that are fun, vibrant, and comical. They can be printed on a one-piece or a lap tee for babies, and the clothing are available in a number of bold (non-pastel - yay!) colors!
Designs are [...]

What do you get when you put together vintage fabrics and recycled wool? Some amazing, original pieces of children’s clothing. The Nixie Clothing line designed by Nicole Frobusch features beautiful, original clothing that’s not only great looking; it’s good for the environment.
Most of the clothing sizes are made for children ages 1-8 years, but [...]

Jennifer of Dishy Duds has created these great monster designs. There are a number of different monster characters, and a variety of products, including baby tees, rompers, hats, and blankies. The monster shirts also come in sizes for toddlers and adults, so anyone can be a monster. All shirts are American Apparel brand, made in [...]

When we received this dress from Dolca USA, I thought it was such a bummer that it was too big for Pooky (Dolca clothes come in sizes 2-6 for toddlers). I liked it so much, though, that I ended up playing dress-up with her, and even though I had to roll up the sleeves [...]
