Kids Shopping

We’ve used three diaper bags in Piper’s 19 months of life. All have served different purposes and now that she’s an active toddler a lightweight, backpack style bag was a necessity. We are using Fawn Design bag right now and I love it — here’s why! -It’s convertible so I can also throw it over […]

I’ve tried to be mindful of Piper’s book collection since I started registering when I was pregnant by including books that show the diverse world that we live in.

Growing up my mom (who happens to be a teacher) instilled a love for books in my sister and I from a very early age. Every occasion warranted a new book– birthdays, holidays….coming of age (hello, Our Bodies, Ourselves) and of course Christmas. When I was grown and living in New York City and our […]

Have you heard about Cuddle & Kind dolls? For every doll purchased 10 meals are donated to a child in need and the dolls are handmade by women in Peru — providing them with sustainable, fair-trade income. I love this quote on their website from Mother Teresa, “If you can’t feed 100 children, feed just […]
