TLC in Tandem
It’s no surprise why babies get showered with goodies, but moms need attention too - particularly postpartum - and that’s why I dig Susan Brown’s Baby. This collection of rich yet gentle, paraben-free body products ensures that mom and baby get their TLC in tandem; the mom products focus on nurturing the belly and feet, while the baby line includes items for bath, diapering, and relaxation. I particularly love the SPF 30+ Sunscreen Lotion; the composition is creamy yet mild, fragrance-free, and packed with cocoa, shea, and jojoba butters to keep your kid’s skin hydrated. I especially love that it’s gentle and effective enough to be used on Laurel’s face and doesn't feel greasy or sticky.

I’ve never understood why Laurel would rather scratch an itch bloody than ask for lotion, but I’m now convinced that until recently we just didn’t have the right goods. 
It wasn’t until last summer – when I could use the prospect of nail polish as bait – that I was able to clip Laurel's nails while she was awake. Prior to that, I’d crouch in the dark next to her crib, or bend uncomfortably over the rails (an increasingly challenging task as her mattress level lowered...), holding a flashlight in my mouth. Seriously. If this sounds familiar, get yourself a

When I was very pregnant with Laurel (i.e., unable to reach my toes), I developed my deep love for professional pedicures. But in the winter, when my dry skin needs the TLC most, even this devotee can’t bear pedi flip flops in the snow. Luckily, there’s the
