Three must-have spring toys: the Mod Mama list

18 Mar 2010 In: Spring Toys

Spring is a-comin’! Here’s our list of the top three spring toys for your little ones to get the most out of the season:

little farmer set

1.  Little Farmer Gardening Set -

Super cute and easy to use for almost any age.  Safety tested so it won’t poison your kid while he plays.  (don’t make the same mistake I made with a kid’s rake from Target – recalled for lead exposure hazard)

2. Explorer’s Net

Try romping through the grass – catching bugs, butterflies and more with this awesome bug net. ($7)

3. Kites!

Get out to a nice windy patch of green (RI folks might want to try India Point Park or Colt State Park).  Kite flying is a blast  – veteran kite fliers tell me the rookie mistake is trying to run with your kite.  Get some good wind and reel your kite out.

Happy flying!

Sweet Peanut for the littlest folks

16 Mar 2010 In: Groovy duds, layette, what's new

Beautifully soft cotton layette from Sweet Peanut has arrived and we love their boy prints.

Really fresh and modern and still boyish.  Girls’ prints are sweet without being fussy and I love that they are doing the little kimono top and pants newborn outfits (great for umbilical cord care when the newbies are born).

Girls prints include lollipop strip and a pink/orange dot.  There’s also a very hip green stripe print that is a great  summer print for any gender.

One of those days

3 Mar 2010 In: Uncategorized

When I woke up this morning, weirdly, my blog was missing!

Where would a blog go? you might ask.  On vacation to Costa Rica?  Had enough of it all? Anyway, please pardon our appearance while we attempt to get it back from the ether.

Meanwhile – check out the new spring duds that have just landed at Mod Mama!
