Too small.

I thought I was being so smart. Have you ever tried to dress a kid? Seriously, it’s EXPENSIVE. Kids’ clothes cost a fortune, and even more of a fortune because you’re replacing it every time you turn around. I can remember buying stuff for my newborn at Baby Gap, such as $30 jeans that were [...]

There are many ways in which motherhood changes a person. Many of these things are physical, like the squashy belly and the saggy boobs and – heaven forbid – the Mom Hair. It’s a fate we all succumb to, sooner or later. With a toddler nipping at my ankles, I just don’t have time for [...]

Jonas Brothers: Are They To Blame For This Skinny Jeans For Kids Issue? Probably.

Kids fashion is admittedly tricky these days. Back in my parent’s day, kids didn’t really have ‘fashion’ as so much as they had ‘functional fabric coverings’ to keep their bodies modestly covered and insulated against the elements. Kids wore whatever the hell was on the racks that year and the term ‘fashion’ barely entered the [...]

Every so often a celebrity story comes along that makes that celebrity even more loveable. In this case it’s uber supermodel Heidi Klum.

My six-year-old daughter has a pair of white go-go style boots that she loves to prance around in. She’s worn them out on occasion, but they’re once-in-a-while, dress-up boots more than anything else. Which is fine by me, because, you know, she’s six, and I’d prefer to see her clad in pigtails, grass-stained jeans and [...]

Coloring books: the great distraction that has saved many waiting room and restaurant meltdowns from ever happening. Coloring books should be given a Nobel Prize for Maintaining the Peace & Sanity of Parents Everywhere.

I don’t know what the takeaway was supposed to be from this story about how Arianna Huffington’s daughter passes judgment on her fashion choices by hollering at her over their home intercom, but I can tell you what my initial reaction was: their house requires an effing INTERCOM? But then I thought – I need [...]

If Suri Cruise has an effect, it’s a special effect. And, apparently, a maddening one. Suri Cruise has set England on its ear and parents are going mad from TSCE. On the other hand, retailers who are also experiencing the intensity of TSCE are going home each night and rolling in pound notes like their [...]
