Babies and winter weather don't exactly compliment each other. Extra-puffy, extra-warm, extra-thick snowsuits and coats for the littlest city slickers can leave them looking extra-uncomfortable, drippy, sweaty and just plain overheated like the infamous, Read More...

Oh, the weather outside is frightful .... and frankly, it's about time. Wills has only had one chance so far this winter to go outside and alternately play Eskimo and Abominable Snowman (although the latter really only kicked in once it was time to go Read More...

It's one of the first cardinal rules of good behavior that little tikes learn when they become a part of the preschool-going set, so why is it that full-grown, seemingly intelligent adults can't adhere to that same politesse when it comes to a pregnant Read More...

So it's not exactly a white Christmas so far. There's still plenty of time for Jack Frost to do his thing and trade this foggy, soggy, melty weather in for fluffy, flaky sled-ready snowiness. In the meantime, it doesn't hurt to be prepared, especially Read More...

Ah, the holidays. A great time to nosh, nibble and let's face it, stuff our faces while basking in the warm Christmas glow of that traditional high-fat, calorie-laden comfort food smorgasbord. Just thinking about all the chocolatey, pepperminty, oven-baked, Read More...

And so is everybody else in the neighborhood. To keep germs at a minimum (having just had the Willster and myself come out of a nasty bout with the flu, including a trip to the ER for me), I'm all about antibacterial anything, and these nifty gifty Teeny Read More...

For those creatively minded mamas and papas who are the teeniest bit apprehensive about dipping their toes in the modern, even contemporary, nursery decorating pool (ahem, like me), Tot Dots offers a range of hip yet approachable animal characters on Read More...

Christmas is so close we're just about tripping over it, feeling jolly, merry and possibly gung-ho over-the-top enough to dress up smiley, rosy-cheeked babies and toddlers in every manner of Santa suits, hats, pointy Elf shoes, Snowman costumes .... and, Read More...

Not my Willdabeast. Nope. He's much more comfy, cozy and toasty in Cosmotot fave BabyLegs , dreamed up by mom Nicole Donnelly as she searched for a way to keep her daughter's legs warm while allowing her some "nakedy butt time" to try and relieve a nasty Read More...

Mom's are allowed to be tired, contrary to popular belief. Even stay-at-home domestics like me. Regardless of what the working world thinks, I don't spend the day with my feet propped up, eating bon-bons and watching some doofy soap opera. Nevertheless, Read More...

Everybody needs a chum, and when you're just a stroller-bound, tooth-budding rug monkey, the stuffed variety will do just fine. Blabla , a marvelously offbeat, artsy kind of place - and a Cosmotot favorite company - makes its line of handmade dolls from Read More...

The holiday season brings so many good things to the proverbial table ... There's hot chocolate and cookies; tinsely trees and sparkling menorahs; fluffy, fat snowflakes the likes of which only Frauline Maria could commemorate with song .... and then Read More...

Open wide and say "ahhhh" .... Or maybe even "ooooh" followed by "ahhhh," immediately followed by "whew!" That was my reaction when not having to literally wrestle Will into his boots Steve Irwin-style so he could spend some quality time getting up close Read More...

In a world where life's pint-sized stage comes with too many pyrotechnics, the Junior Director's Chair from Chicago-based institution, Hoohobbers , deserves a standing ovation. It doesn't light up, need batteries, require assembly or take up its own wing Read More...

The holidays can be stressful, especially when there's way too many people crammed into one hot, cramped straggly little line at the mall to see Santa; or there doesn't seem to be enough time in just one freezing, rainy weekend to get your poor hub to Read More...

I think we're all familiar with the definition of "baby" as it appears in the Cosmotot dictionary: ba-by bā'bē (noun) : A very young, smallish, non-talking, non-walking, semi-innocent, instantly loveable has-his-parents-wrapped-around-his-little-finger Read More...

Well, I guess there's nothing more fitting than kicking off the holiday season with a snowy, blustery ice storm the likes of which only the Midwest can dish out. As we speak, the frozen trees outside are creaking, the snow plows are crunching, and inside, Read More...
