Crew Cuts
You may find yourself wishing your toddler’s sweater fit you when
you check out what fashion clothier J. Crew has just launched---their first catalog dedicated to pint-sized couture---Crew Cuts. Their new line of children’s clothing is cut and styled just like the bigger version, which is what makes this line a success. The boy’s jeans are washed and styled like Dads and the girl’s twin sets and shoes you could see yourself wearing out to tea. Kids sizes 2-10 grace the pages of this fall’s style must.

Baby Loves Disco
They really do!
Disco is back in a big, little way. Little, because this Donna Summers party is revved up for kids. An idea born from Philadelphia mom Heather Murphy, disco parties are hosted at nightclubs that are child-proofed and then transformed into hip, hot spots for tots including healthy snacks, bubble machines, “chill out” rooms with puzzles and books and music---lots and lots of music. Spun by a real DJ, these foot-thumping hits from the 70’s and 80’s are sure to get your little one’s rump shaking. The closest Baby Loves Disco to us is in Orlando, but if the idea intrigues you as much as it does us, check out their website www.babylovesdisco.com for information on how to organize a local, monthly party. And thanks to one of our subscribers for turning us on to this tot hot spot!
