Fondant Cake Toppers On Etsy

Liza’s birthday is coming up, and I was recently researching options on Etsy, because of course you can find everything on Etsy. I love the idea of a fondant cake topper, because it lets you bake the cake yourself (saving $$ and adding a personal touch) but if your decorating skills aren’t the best you just give it a basic coat of frosting and sub in one of these fondant cuties to make it look professional!

Florence Eiseman New Arrivals

If your kiddos need a few special outfits for the spring and summer, you’ll want to quickly head to Florence Eiseman’s new arrivals section before they sell out. (And they will sell out.) I pre-ordered the following for my girls: this Seersucker Cherry Gingham Dress, this Seersucker Check Dress (are you dying), and this Strawberry & Floral Seersucker Dress. You know when the dress is so good it demands you make plans befitting it? It’s like that, but for tiny clothes.

Wooden Wobble Boards For Kids

You know how you can buy children toys that can do all sorts of cool things like light up, make sounds, julienne fries, etc., but, inevitably, they end up preferring the box it came in? I’m quickly learning that simpler is often better. Exhibit A: This rather simple-looking curved wobble board is actually an incredible Montessori toy that my toddler is utterly obsessed with. She finds it hilarious to try and stand on it and balance herself like she’s surfing. She’s also been known to use it to climb up onto our bed. She’s even used the board on its…

Custom Name Stamp For Children’s Clothing

File this custom name stamp under incredibly useful and adorable. Once your little ones enter preschool, mid-day outfit changes are inevitable after art class goes awry. If you’d like to get all of your child’s belongings back at the end of the day, use this custom stamp to declare what’s theirs. The stamp itself is so cute you might also have a little helper or two dying to get involved. If you’re dealing with toddlers like I am, I highly recommend against allowing them to get involved because the ink doesn’t bleed or fade in the wash. This is mommy’s…

Photicular Animal Books By Dan Kainen

On a recent trip to our local Children’s Museum, I found the “Jungle” version of this Photicular book series and was completely captivated. The books appear to have a video screen on each page, but it’s really a “photicular” image. (Here’s a YouTube video that shows you the inside of the books in action.) I immediately bought every version of these books that I could find. They would make an outstanding gift for any child, or even an animal-loving teenager, too!

Sisters First Children’s Book

This adorable Sisters First book is the perfect gift or library addition for anyone who is currently raising sisters, or expecting their second girl. Written by former first daughters Jenna and Barbara Bush, these best-selling authors have now penned multiple books on the unique joys and bonds that sisters share. I definitely teared up reading this one to Coco for the first time!

Gap Little Girls Tights

There are few things cuter than tights for little girls. However, there is some sort of conspiracy amongst tight makers to drive parents crazy because most brands offer a completely confounding size range. Typically, tight sizing jumps straight from size 12-24 to size 2-4. WHY? What two-year-old is that close in size to a four-year-old? Every pair of 2-4 sized tights that I ordered for Coco (who is a very tall 27-month-old) was comically large for her. After voicing this extremely niche frustration on instagram, many suggestions for Gap’s tights popped up in my DM inbox because they’re offered in…

Super Smalls Bead Kit

I’m not saying that beaded craft kits are the reason I had children, but I’m not not saying that either. This gift for kids aged four and up lets you I mean your little one explore their inner jewelry designer. Coco is only two, so she needed a little help with some aspects of tying knots and threading tiny beads since she’s a bit young, but we have spent many hours over the past week creating bracelets together and she’s obsessed. The best part is that the results are wearable, and keep-able, forever.
