A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about a bag that served a dual function: a handbag and a diaper bag.
In the comments, Liz suggested a flat-bottomed bag for easier one-handed use. This Skip Hop bag is not only flat-bottomed, but it’s also dual functional–it’s unisex style works for Moms and Dads alike.
$64 at Skiphop.

Says designer Alessandra Lopez-Kiely of the inspiration behind the doll, "We kicked, whined and screamed [about] the crazy festivals/lectures/exhibits my mother dragged us to as kids. But now we’re blessed with a very rich appreciation for many different cultures." Her brother Kiko and her both love ninja movies (and even the really old Jackie Chan movies).
Fun fact about Alessandra? She was born the year of the monkey, which explains her love of the silly. She loves creating products that make people (especially adults) giggle!
Thanks, Julie, for the tip!

Karen from Plueys recommends pairing these adorable boots with dresses and leggings, or a sweater with jeans rolled up to just above the boots. Add a matching umbrella, and you’ll be set for the rainy season.
Fun Puddle Fact: There’s a science and an art to jumping in puddles - if you hit that puddle sweet spot in the middle of the puddle you get this ’swhiip-sploosh’ and optimum splash that you don’t get if you stomp in other parts of the puddle. You’ve got to practice though to get the right spot!
