We want our kids to wear cute clothes, that’s a given. But what about their underclothes? Why can’t they be cute, too? Enter DOTT, a New York-based children’s underwear line, founded by a husband-and-wife team in May of this year. With a passion for design, style, and comfort, the duo creates adorable skivvies for boys and girls, in cute prints, […]
The Rookie Moms Challenge #35 is Buy some new jeans but I switched it up because I needed a swim suit. I should also probably claim credit for taking a baby swimming, but I’ll tell you more about that later. Ok so I confess, I headed out to Old Navy about week 2 postpartum because […]
Have a baby shower to attend over the weekend? Join the club. With all of the summer babies that are just around the corner and the Saturday and Sunday afternoon showers that are filling up your calendar, it’s good to have easy, pre-planned, or even last-minute gift options for the beautiful mama to-be and her new babe. And, […]
As a fitness blogger, this is a challenge I’d been hoping to attempt every week since I was officially cleared for exercise at Week 6, but it took me until Week 11 to get it done. And, unfortunately, I think it was a bit of a fail. See, my daughter Garrity is in this major […]
Need a date night flick, mama? Then Boyhood just might be your answer (that is, unless you have that whole don’t-talk-about-the-kids rule for the evening). The film, directed by the very accomplished Richard Linklater (Dazed & Confused, Before Sunset, School of Rock), does what no film has done before. The entire cast—including the young boy […]
Playrooms are a great place to encourage positive play and imagination, and to help keep all the toys in one spot. If you are lucky enough to have an extra space to dedicate solely to the kids (a spare bedroom, den, family room, or basement), boy do we have some eye candy for you. We’ve searched high and low […]
by Whitney Moss on June 23, 2014 in Eating,Free/Cheap,Green,Month 5 Navigating the stroller through a busy farmers market is a worthwhile challenge. There are so many things to look at for your baby, it’s worth the effort. Does this not sound like enough action for you? Believe me, it is. You will see other babies, […]
This is a list of flexible jobs for stay-at-home moms, and I’ll acknowledge that for some women, none of them will be a fit. It’s not a list of flexible jobs for women who are lawyers, pilots, pharmacists, or product managers. The idea here is that there are some opportunities to leverage technology to earn […]
by Whitney Moss on June 30, 2014 in Mommy,Month 5,Sleepy We know there are those people whose infants start sleeping eleven or twelve hours a night around four months old. These so-called “babies” take three daily naps at 8, 12 and 4.30. And then there are the rest of us. At one point my moms […]
I’m pretty sure that STITCH FIX was invented just for me. Since it started in the Bay Area, it is highly possible that someone overheard my weird clothes-shopping peculiarities in some coffee shop and launched it into a startup. That really happens out here. The deal is that real-life human stylists create a box of 5 items […]
by Whitney Moss on July 14, 2014 in Bay Area,Green,Mommy,Month 3,Outside,Portland By the time my first baby was 10 weeks old, I had not exercised for about 6 months. Baby Bootcamp was my re-introduction to sweating and I loved it. I was not a gym-goer in my normal life, and Baby Bootcamp was perfect for […]
