Way back in the BC era (Before Child), this Mamanista loved to cook. I am anxiously awaiting the day Baby Diva joins in with, rather than thwarts my culinary efforts Right now, I have to do all the cooking for Baby Diva. One day, however, she’ll be able to say, “And I helped.” Sure, it […]

Mama Luxe’s Favorite Diaper Bags
Silk brocade… luxurious, sleek, beautiful. These satin-smooth bags will take you through any season and any fabulous situation. Hmmm…Mama Luxe’s favorite diaper bags bear a striking resemblance to Mama-To-Be’s favorite briefcase. Currently I carry Baby Diva’s gear in the Kecci Shanghai II Mommy Diaper Bag in Chartreuse. I get at least one compliment a week […]
April Showers Provide an Excuse to Shop
It’s been raining all week. One consolation is that the constant downpour provides an excuse to wear crazy rainboots. A colorful pair of boots looks great with jeans and brightens up a gloomy day. Plus…you can stomp in puddles with abandon. Hatley– one of Mama-to-Be’s favorite stores- has a line of raingear for women and […]
The Littlest Foodie
While some New Yorkers are spending big bucks turning their kids into mini-foodies, I’m hoping Baby Diva will have a healthy attitude towards wholesome foods. Of course, I wouldn’t object to a smidgen of a sense of adventure… If you are excited about introducing fresh, tempting and fun foods to your tot, I suggest Annabel […]
Mama-to-Be’s Favorite Briefcase
For years, I lugged around a boring black microfiber briefcase that looked exactly like every other briefcase. Functional and practical– my husband still owns one exactly like it. I wanted something more fashion forward, so I bought a leather briefcase from Coach for more than $300. It looked fabulous, but the thin leather straps dug […]
A Safer Way to Bathe Baby
When I placed Baby Diva in her first bath, I was so excited. “She’ll love this,” I thought. The screeching that followed was as disappointing as it was earsplitting. Dutifully, I washed Baby Diva every few days, but it was an unpleasant experience for both of us. Then, one day, the Safer Bather along with […]
The Happy Pill
After a tough day, there’s nothing like a relaxing soak in the tub to make me feel that all is right with the world once more. Nowadays time is at a premium. When I have a spare 30 minutes, I feel that I should do something productive like clean my house or exercise. So when […]
Style Statement for Little Feet
Baby shoes are adorable, but they aren’t the most practical investment. Until baby can walk, their only function is ornamental. With the Ballet Slipper or Mary Jane socks sold at KooKoo Bear Kids, your baby’s feet will be cozy yet fashionable. They come in a wide range of colors– ensuring you’ll find a match shoe/sock […]
