An A-List Interview: Traci Fleming of Nurseryworks
This week’s A-List interview features Traci Fleming, a working mom who was inspired by parenting to help other parents build beautiful nurseries. As a fellow pioneer in modern baby, it’s been fun to see Traci grow Nurseryworks into the well-loved brand that it is.
Part of Nurseryworks’ unique appeal is the fact that they bring a more accessible approach to “modern,” blending a contemporary aesthetic with softer lines. Now that I’m reminded of Traci’s Southern roots, perhaps more of her upbringing is reflected in her work than I realized!
Ask Ali: Winter Skincare
Q: What are the best baby basics for bathtime/skincare during the cold months?
A: Sensitive care is especially important for babies and toddlers, and it becomes even more necessary during cold weather when a child’s delicate skin is more susceptible to drying and chapping.
An A-List Interview: Susan Lazar of Egg by Susan Lazar
I’ve long been a fan of Susan Lazar’s designs, and I couldn’t have been more excited when she decided to bring her experience to baby clothes. Not surprisingly, she’s now known as a go-to designer for beautiful, luxurious and comfortable gifts for babies. Case in point? Her alpaca hat and mitten set that we’re currently featuring is a great example of yummy luxury.
Getting Ready For Your New Year’s Eve ‘Date Night’
Call it a mixed-bag of feelings – a night away from a new baby can be both exhilarating, and anxiety inducing. But, sometimes you just have to get away and enjoy some adult time out-on-the-town. To calm your anxiety, prepare your home, and baby, in advance with this easy checklist.
An A-List Interview: J.B. Schneider of P’kolino
This week I’m excited to share with you an A-List interview with J.B. Schneider of P’kolino. I really enjoyed hearing his answers; they really gave me a lot of insight into his business, his family and his thoughts on creativity and play. On a personal note, I can’t imagine being an entrepreneur and a parent to four kids – I can barely do it with one. Either way, we both share the same secret: it’s our spouses who make it all possible!

How to Make Giving Mean More
As a small-town kid from Montana who grew up with eight brothers and sisters, my family didn’t have a lot of extras. So my siblings and I learned at a very young age how to give presents that meant much more than the physical object itself. Those lessons still influence me today, as a mom, as a friend and as the founder of giggle.
In today’s world of consumption, the things we tie up with a bow can — and should — be vehicles to pass the things that matter on to your children. So in that spirit, I wanted to share my top ten tricks for healthy, happy gifting!

Packing Up the Family for Holiday Travels
When you’re traveling with your kids in tow during the single busiest time of year, a little bit of planning goes a long way. If you’re traveling by air, pick a time when your child is most likely to be asleep. Book a flight that coincides with nap-time, or, for longer distances, consider taking a red-eye. And to make your travels more enjoyable for everyone, consider adding these travel “must-haves” to your packing list.
