I use ShopStyle Kids, the Sugar Inc. owned search engine for children's clothes and goods, which allows you to browse and shop without ever loading the kids in the car, more than I'd like to admit so I was thrilled to hear the site has added some of my favorite brands. You can now cruise collections from Children's Place, Japanese Weekend, Tutti Bella, Crazy 8, and Janie and Jack.

The weather across the US makes it hard to tell whether to purchase Winter or Spring clothes right now, which is why I love Tutti Bella's tee shirt selection. They are perfect for layering and add a little rocker edge to your lil one's look.

Harajuku Lovers Fatal Attraction to Cuteness Tee - $44.95	Harajuku Lovers Gwen Snowbunny Tee - $44.95
Small Paul by Paul Frank Bubblegum Julius Tee - $19.95	Harley Davidson by Trunk Dark Angel Tee - $64.95
City Threads Midnight Acoustic Guitar Tee - $29.95	Me Too Berry Tee - $34.95
Nano Monkey Tee - $26.95	Nano Truck Tee - $26.95

Baby Bump: Japanese Weekend Maternity and Nursing PJs

LilSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:00:21 -0800

One of the things to expect when you're expecting is to invest in new threads for your expanding belly. If you're trying to watch your budget during these hard economic times then try to look for gear that will be versatile during your pregnancy and after your bundle of joy arrives. The D & A Nursing Pajama Set ($64) will keep you cozy as your stomach stretches and then provide a comfortable and functional set of jammies to wear while nursing once you pop. Most bellies don't go back to their pre-baby state immediately so you'll welcome the extra room in the beginning, but also love the easy access the top provides for breastfeeding.

Kidoodles: Free Paper Play House Downloads

There's something magical about sitting down with your children during weekend arts and crafts time. It's the perfect opportunity for stories, creativity and inevitably, a whole lot of mess.

These adorable paper houses and store fronts will help you deliver the same soothing creative time without any of the paint or pencil marks. The paper projects can be downloaded for free from Paperm. The site is Japanese, but just click the designs you like and select the colorful PDF link. You'll need clear tape and scissors to assemble the little structures.

A Few of Lil's Favorite Things: January

LilSugar — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 12:00:48 -0800

A new year, a new baby, a new you! Kick start 2008 with a few of lil's favorite finds.

Take a hint from fashion-forward matey, Pax Jolie-Pitt with this durably darling Kingsley Pirate Hoodie ($95). It will keep your swashbuckler snug on and off the playground.
These cozy knit kickers ($30) by Heather's Treasure Box will have your lil wrangler looking the part whether he's at home on the range or an urban cowboy.
Weather storms with this charcoal Mamacoat ($188) by Japanese Weekend. Known for its multipurpose fashions, the brand offers clothing that can be worn in pregnancy and the postpartum stages. And, this jacket gets even more bang for your buck by outfitting baby. It's four jackets, a hood, and a hat in one!
Got cabin fever? Get the kids in an outside state of mind with Doctor Noize's musical adventure. The Ballad of Phineas McBoof ($15) will entertain your tots with an imaginative excursion where they will encounter bass-playing hippopotamuses and yodeling lizards.
Send your gal puddle jumping in these rubber Maryjane rainboots ($27) by Trumpette. The cleverly designed galoshes available in white, purple, and fuchsia are bound to trick and splash an onlooker or two.
