Holiday Gift Guide

The first annual Holiday Gift Guide for Merry Moms has been published. If you missed it, you can still see the selected items and add them to your own wish list, or simply print it out for your husband (hint, hint).

Gift Guides for Dads, Babies & Kids and Couples will be published later this week.

Happy Shopping!

Alloy Fall Preview

I just received the latest ALLOY catalog in the mail. I love their shoes and tees. Here are just a few of my faves:






(I love the fact that these are called the Trophy Wife Wedge)




Those who know me will understand my desire to remain a tomboy (with the tees) but my need to act my age (hence the sexy stilettos).

Beco Baby Carrier

My sister welcomed Baby #2 on June 30th and I’ve been having a good old time shopping for little socks, shoes, clothes, toys and all things baby-related.

I used one baby carrier when I had my son – 4 1/2 years ago – and never really ventured out to shop around for others.

If I were to do it all over again (perhaps, someday), I’d definitely try a few on and test drive as many as possible, including these cute Beco Baby Carriers:

Too Cool Couture

Getting Back to Natur

hessnatur creates pure and natural clothing, with a simple principle: to respect the planet and the people who produce and wear their clothes.

All of their exclusive designs are made from 100% natural fibers. They offer a wide range of natural fibers, from cotton and linen, to silk, wool, and luxurious fibers including cashmere, alpaca and mohair. Their goal is to be 100% organic in everything we make. All of their pure cotton is 100% organic. Only the limited availability of other natural fibers in organic quality has prevented them from being 100% organic. That’s why they are pioneers in helping to develop organic farming.

They also ensure that their natural fibers stay pure throughout the manufacturing process, so that no toxins from dyes, bleaches or other chemicals can harm the earth, or the people who wear or produce the clothes.


The U.S. on line shop for hessnatur will be opening soon. Be the first to learn about the organic clothing they create by signing up for their newsletter, or request a catalog.

Founded more than 30 years ago by European environmentalist Heinz Hess, hessnatur designs organic and natural clothing for women, infants and toddlers. Since their founding, they have been governed by a simple principle: human beings should live in harmony with each other and with nature.

hessnatur is located in Butzbach, a village in a hilly part of Germany, near the Taunus and Westerwald Mountains and the Rhine River. It’s an area of great natural beauty and the people, naturalists at heart, have been leaders in the European environmental movement for over 40 years.

The building where the staff spends their days working is as environmentally sound as they can make it. They climb the stairs to get to their offices. They have no air conditioning, which tests their commitment to the environment every August – German summers can get surprisingly hot. They have a café on the top floor, with long tables where they can all share excellent lunches prepared by Thomas. You haven’t lived until you’ve tried his eggplant schnitzel! Their children are welcome; spouses and partners join them for lunch when they can. And they invite you to join them, whenever you’re in the neighborhood.

Respect for the planet and for its people is fundamental to the way they do business, interact with their partners and each other. Their commitment to the quality of the clothing is matched by a commitment to the quality of the lives of those who create the clothing, and to those who wear it.

Clothes are more than what you wear, they’re how you choose to live.
