The Kiehl’s products I own are among my absolute favorite in my make-up bag, so it’s amazing to me that until now I wasn’t aware that Kiehl’s even had a line of baby products.

I’m not a big fan of “diva” or “princess” shirts for my daughter. It’s a personal preference really, but I’m kind of feminist that way. I don’t want my daughter to think her only value as a girl is in the role of a princess or diva or whateverelsedemeaningsomeonecanmarket. So as you can imagine, I’m more than a little thrilled that I found Ava’s Closet, creator of such shirts as: “Doctor Not Diva” and “President Not Princess”. These fantastic shirts…

Lark and Loon is an amazingly cool children’s clothing company full of one-of-a-kind, artist commissioned pieces for kids age 2-12. I love the age span because it’s so hard to find something age appropriate for P, as most kid lines don’t go up to her size, and the designs are so great for any age. Not only that, Lark and Loon donates a portion of their profits to Americans For The Arts, which we love, of course. Lark and Loon…
