Blue Eye Boy: Knucklehead Skivvies
Blue Eye Boy is an online clothing and toy boutique just for boys.
Parents of boys reluctant to start potty training should hang this set next to the diaper changer as inspiration. I mean really... these are some pretty darn cute "big-boy undies." Each set includes ribbed tank.
Available in brown, black, white and olive. $28 for set; www.blueeyeboy.com
Monkey Bar Buddies
Girls these days can do it all. They can play tough on the playground, twirl, jump, swing, and hang out... and never need to change out of their dresses.
Like a modern-day corset, the shorts from Monkeybar Buddies go under skirts and keep girls modest and comfy with no sticking to the fabric or bulk. Perfect for those mini princesses who refuse to wear pants.
Find them at Dolci, Haggis McBaggis or online at www.monkeybarbuddies.com.
Bella Stella Resale Shop: Mei Hip Baby Carrier
Portland mama Laurel Ackerman's Bella Stella carries what she calls a "crazy obsessive and yummy selection" of slings and baby carriers.
It is the place to go if you want to carry your baby but aren't sure how to make it work. She will happily spend three hours fitting you and your baby into a sling that fit both body and lifestyle.
Laurel's current fave is the Mei Hip baby carrier. Innovative and comfortable (the extra wide straps cup your shoulder instead of cutting into your neck), it's also a stylish way to carry your little one exactly where he or she fits best - on your hip.
