I’ve been working the baby bump in denial for a couple of weeks; time to work it in style. Dreem creates some very cute maternity tees, complete with a little attitude. Which I love. No surprise considering the brains behind the operation, Brooke, is a mom of 2 (plus another on the way) and a former school teacher in South Central LA. Short sleeves, long sleeves, tanks, and even hot mommy shirts for the non-preggers. These tees are comfy, soft &…

I love this pumpkin wreath from the Armelle Blog. Caroline says it’s super easy, so I’m going to take her word for it and make one for my front door. I’m always in the market for a good front door wreath and this looks like it has the potential to last all the way to Thanksgiving. Here’s the original link to the wreath post with the instructions, but I put them here in case you’re feeling lazy. You really should…

Last week I shared some great kids’ books with you. This week, how about a little something for yourself? I don’t know about your weather, but here where I am, things have gotten a little chilly! What better time to curl up with a book and a nice warm cup of hot chocolate? Here are two books I’ve read recently that I can recommend. Marley & Me. Although this wasn’t a book that my book club read, it seemed that…

[photo via parents.com] As we venture into the world of potty-training for the first time (our little boy is 2 and has shown some interest and ability), I’m slowly realizing I have no idea what I’m doing. The experts say this, some say that, but I’m thinking the real experts are the mommies in the trenches: YOU. So it is with humility that I solicit the world of Petit Elefant and her hip, well-informed readers: Advice? Tips? Warnings? Please? I want…

This tableware set from Trebimbi is so adorable C refuses to eat on anything else. Trebimbi Party Tableware Set. $46. {via Barebabies.com} My favorite part of the set is how user friendly it is for little kids.

They fit perfectly in his chubby little hands, and when he’s done with them, he can clip them on just about any old part of the…

Scooters, by Rabbit and the Duck, $40 When I was expecting my first baby, M, I couldn’t seem to find a ready-made baby book that suited my taste and needs. Pastel cartoon characters just didn’t appeal to me; ultimately I would be using the book, right? Then I had a teensy little light bulb moment: Who needs a baby book to tell them what memories and milestones are most important and where to put what photo, memento or memory? Besides, who…
