Hello Kitty for Ju-Ju-Be
[W]hen I was a kid, I was obsessed with Hello Kitty. Ducking into the Sanrio store at the mall was the ultimate treat when shopping with my mom.

In 6th grade, it was all the trend for the girls in class to display their pristine Hello… Continue reading Hello Kitty for Ju-Ju-Be

decode your toddler: child speech therapy
[W]e’ve all endured this as parents of toddlers: The almost insane-sounding, though ridiculously cute jabbering that your child spouts at you.

A Summer Stroll(er)
[S]ummer calls for all sorts of outings: art museums, amusement parks, zoo visits, road trips. And when you’re toting a two-year-old, it’s imperative to have a stroller that is compact for crowded public spaces, sturdy enough to withstand the occasional rugged terrain, comfortable enough for a mid-afternoon nap, and easy to transport from point A… Continue reading A Summer Stroll(er)
