Sirch Troll Doll Stroller

I’m not really sure when kids develop a sense of style or when they start to prefer certain types of aesthetics. From what I’ve seen, if it rolls, squeaks, flashes, talks, or is brightly colored… kids will dig it. So, when I saw this doll stroller and thought about how good looking it was, I wondered if its style would be unnoticed by a toddler. After all, why spend a bunch of money on this cool looking stroller if your kid would be just as happy with a cardboard box?
Then I caught myself and came to this conclusion: kids are influenced by their surroundings and the choices that their parents make. Generally speaking, parents that are active have kids that are active, parents that are nice to people have kids that are nice to people, parents that are stylish have kids that are stylish, etc. So, if you want your kid to have a cool and hip sense of aesthetics you have to help shape that. And who doesn’t want that?
So, don’t think of this stroller as just some toy. Think of it as an investment in the future of your child being a much admired trend setting individual :) Available at Modern Nursery for $280.
One of the things that I find so appealing about some of the baby stuff out there is that they allow me to live vicariously through my toddler. I like to think of myself as a cool and hip individual, but the reality is that sometimes the parent in me doesn’t let me be as crazy with the fashions as I once was. Leopard print shoes and a Ramones t-shirt tend to stand out a bit in the local play group. On the other hand, I can put my kid in the same outfit and it’s totally adorable!
I found these at a store called
Even for tasks as ordinary and un-glamorous as changing diapers, I still want to have cute gear. What? You don’t think that changing pads and diaper carriers can be cute? Well, check out the offerings at
We all want our kids to grow up to be super smart and solve the world’s problems, don’t we? Of course we do. Well, kids don’t just become smart on their own. It’s our job to stimulate those little brains and get them moving down the path of intellectual superiority. One of the activities that my kids really love is doing
Whether it’s a horse, zebra, or cow, kids love their rocking toys. And like me, you probably want to give your kids all the playthings that will make them happy. But maybe you’re one of those parents who can’t bear the thought of bringing another large, brightly colored, cartoon-themed, toy in to the house. This is the answer. The
After my recent posts on Diesel jeans and Burberry booties for infants, I received a few messages along the lines of “Yeah, those are cute… but c’mon! Who’s going to spend that kind of money on baby clothes?!” I agree. Even though I really did like those items, realistically, they’re just a bit too much. Even for a splurge. However, I’ve always got my eyes open and I found these little sandals that are hip and cool… and they’re just the right price. There’s baby stuff out there that is obvious baby style. But these things are just tiny versions of the adult sandals. So cute! I’m pretty fond of Kenneth Cole stuff myself, so I love that I can put my little one in the same thing. And like I said, they’re pretty reasonable for a little splurge.
At first glance, the Stokke Xplory is a weird looking stroller. If you’re used to the traditional image of what a stroller should look like, this is nowhere near it. But if you like modern attention-getting style, then this is the ride for your little one. Still not sure if it’s really for you? Consider that this is the stroller of choice for Madonna, Courtney Cox-Arquette, Heidi Klum, Tori Spelling, and other famous moms. You do want to have the same stroller as the celebrities, don’t you? Of course. Besides making you really cool, it’s actually a very well designed and functional stroller too. One of the neatest features is the ability to raise and lower the seat height, so you can bring baby right up near you. You can get all the details at the
I’m not going to even try to justify this one. They’re cute and soft and cozy. Yeah, they’re kind of over-priced and not the most practical purchase you can make. But if you want to start your kid on the path of snooty country clubs and high priced designer clothes, then you must buy these booties for them! Hmmm… did I just justify buying these things? I guess I did. So there you go, valid reasons to buy the Burberry Check Booties: social status, and they’re cute, soft, and cozy. Available at
that did they really need? Exactly. So, if you’re going to make an irrational purchase, what better than these fashionable little jeans? Besides, these are more about making the parent feel hip. A two year old won’t know the difference, but imagine the pride you will feel in showing off your little fashionista. Just don’t let them play in these things. Maybe save them for the next
I have two little girls, so I’m a total sucker when it comes to cute baby clothes. I’m always on the look out for hip and stylish stuff. Clothes for little girls are just so freakin cute that I just can’t help myself! I recently was turned on to a site called
I wasn’t really sure where to put this one. It’s really more for parents than it is for kids. But then again, there are probably more parents than kids reading this so I guess it’s appropriate. Whatever the case, I just had to share this. I saw it for the first time this morning when a co-worker turned me on to the website of Jason Freeny, an artist/illustrator from New York. This particular piece is called “Anatomie Gummi Bär”, and as you can see, it’s an incredible illustration of the anatomy of a Gummy Bear. Ok, I know that the bears are really just “gummy” all the way through. But considering that this is coming out of his imagination just makes it that much more impressive. This small image doesn’t do it justice. Go to
actually had no idea they existed, but apparently, they’re the must-have toys of the moment. Yeah, they really are ugly. But strangely, they’re soooo freaking cute too. As an added bonus, there are dozens of different Ugly Dolls, so if your kid makes you feel really guilty you’ll end up buying all of them. Fantastic! This is a picture of “Ox”, but there are also dolls like “
Ok, we know the folks at
