Bubba Overalls: Bibs with Hip Stripes

Overalls don't get much cuter than this: I am enamored with these stripey delights from Chloe in Syle. These overalls are cotton knit and come in chocolate/aqua and red/pink combinations. My favorite feature are the suspender-inspired buttons closures. These bibs can be worn alone or layered with a simple top. Perfect from fall to spring, the overalls sell for $59 and come in sizes ranging from 0 - 12 months. Be still my stripey heart!

A Bit About Baby Proofing

So, Ted is mobile. He finally worked out the shuffle-crawl thing and now moves around at roughly the speed of sound. This has been my first week of being alone with an independently mobile pookie, and to be honest it's kicking my butt. Teddy now wants to go EVERYWHERE and touch EVERYTHING and by touch I mean poke, shake, lick and chew. What I'm getting at is that it is now officially time to baby...

It's Retro Baby! Classic Toys Reinvented

A quick glance at the living room might lead a person to believe that our favourite designer is one Mr. Price. Mr. Fisher Price. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing (no, really it's not) there are some toys that have pretty much timeless appeal, and that I genuinely don't mind having around. (Though apparently it is "freakish" to want to colour coordinate your baby's toys to match your decor. Dammit.) Here are a few classics...

Baby boy grows third arm

It's true. WheetBix not only contain more than the recommended daily intake of fibre but the vital building blocks of life.   This morning, Christian enjoying his breakfast cereal spontaneously sprouted a third arm - surprising his parents and puzzling scientists worldwide.  Christian seems quite happy with his new appendage, and has immediately put it to good use - first in feeding and then playing with his toys and other amusements.  Apparently James is wondering when...

How to Interpret Your Baby's Speech...Or Not?

Maybe you've seen Priscilla Dunstan on Oprah claiming she can interpret baby-speak. It looked as if she could really do it. A baby cried and babbled and Ms. Dunstan seemed to be able to interpret what the baby was needing or wanting. Grumblings from nay-sayers say Ms. Dunstan is a fraud, however, looking to take advantage of parents who are approaching the ends of their ropes. Weither she is a fraud or not, it wouldn't...

Bookish Baby Shower Idea

Baby showers are wonderful. They offer a chance to celebrate your wee little wonder with the people you care about most. With our first baby about to make her debut, we've been fortunate to have several baby showers. One of the most lovely and original ones was thrown by my class of third- and fourth-grade students. The theme of the shower was "books", and all of the children were asked to share their favorite baby...

Bandannas, So Much Hipper Than Bibs

Drool. Babies seem to drool more than say, a 120lb Saint Bernard. A HUNGRY 120lb Saint Bernard. It gets everywhere and seems way wetter (and grosser) than mere water. So it's either change their shirt a lot or protect the slobber catchment area. Bibs get the job done but bandannas are so much cooler. Especially these bandannas. Kerchiefs $14 By Curbly member, designer and renaissance mom Kristen Angelo, who owns boopalina + bebe (and a...

Party with Pookie, Babyproof Your NYE Bash

But New Years is a big one, and we are throwing an out and out Hootenanny! With cocktails and canapes and clothes that don't have any kind of goo on them (I'm hoping). parenting.com has a useful checklist to help make sure that your party is safe...

"Awake to Nap": A Delightful Little Book

This holiday season our daughter-to-be received several gifts that her dad and I are pretty jazzed about. Among them was the very sweet alphabet board book "Awake to Nap" by Nikki McClure. This is a very special little book that's full of gorgeous, striking paper cuts and charming phrases that correspond to each letter of the alphabet. The author created this book while her son napped. Appropriately, the book ends on the letter "n" when...

Laugh? I Almost Dropped The Baby

Funny is good. I might even go so far as to say that Funny will save your sanity. 'Cause when it's four in the morning and somebody has just had a massive poopy blow out and you realise that that's the last clean sheet and how can this possibly have happened... well, its either laugh or whimper quietly about running away to join a cult... I digress. This book here made me laugh snort laughs....

Lately, I've had a thing for boots. Living in a place where the cold is wicked and relentless, I have come to appreciate warm feet. I want the same for our baby when she arrives this winter.
