Cool finds from all around the wide-open Internet.

Samers!

While I think it's kinda weird to dress your kids like mini-me ALL the time … sometimes it's super cute. My husband and my daughter own matching orange crinolines, for instance.

This in mind, I bring you Supersweet Creations and their cute matching tie shirts. While the picture is of Dad and son (a hottie dad, at that!), I see no reason why Mom and spawn couldn't wear the tie shirts and look cute, too.

While were staying gender unbiased, lets also check out these cool retro apron sets for kid-and-parent cooking adventures from  Aprilforshee!

And as long as your still here, go look at the matching tutu set offered at TheGirlyPlace.

I see London, I see FranceSo, if there is a little girl in your life, you may have noticed that they are not too terribly bothered about modesty when wearing dresses and skirts. That's all fine and dandy of course — no shame issues need apply!

However, for many reasons, and especially at recess, Bloomers like this adorable pair from littlemave are a great solution.

These are perfect for the girl who likes dresses but still wants to hang upside down on the monkey bars or do cartwheels, or for the girl who thinks tights are itchy. These bloomers could make cute pants, too!

SUPER SQUEE!Kids emulate the adults in their lives. So why wouldn't your son imitate you babywearing his younger sibling? Why not foster nurturing behavior in our boys? Some boys like baby dolls! Big deal!

Etsy seller Squarepear has the right idea with this blue camo ring sling for boys. What a great way to prepare your sons for a new baby in the house, or to illustrate gentleness to a smaller sibling or friend.

Squarepear makes girly baby doll slings too, and even some for dads!

Help me, Hand Solo, you're my only hope!

How awesome are these Star Wars finger puppets? SUPER WAY AWESOME, that is how much. 

I know a bunch of kids (and, um, adults really big kids) who would love these. And can you imagine the possibilities one could dream up? Chewbacca could come with your kids to the Doctor's office. Yoda could advise the eating of vegetables. Luke Skywalker could read bedtime stories. Wow.

But if Star Wars isn't your kid's thing, Littlefox71 has a ton of other way cute finger puppets, like Thomas the Train, Wizard of Oz, and your standard animals and stuff. So give your kids the finger.

Okay, so before I became a SAHM, I was a preschool teacher for 5 years and a nanny for 3 years. One thing I can say for sure is that pretty much all kids enjoy playing with pretend food. Another thing I'm certain of is that all of them will put it in their mouth at some point.  With the typical plastic play food, that becomes pretty gross, very quickly.

But with felt food, from Etsy seller kiddycouture, your kids can play chef, farmer, shopping, whatever, without sucking down BPA and phthalates and petrochemicals in plastic food sets.  Just pop the felt food in the delicate cycle when they get manky with spit.

Kiddycouture makes many cute items like breakfast sets, sandwich sets, and even fried chicken, if you're into that!

cuz this is the belly that you can't touch!

cuz this is the belly that you can't touch!

I'm facially pierced and have tons of visible tattoos, so I did not get touched by strangers during my pregnancy (rude questions, on the other hand, were fair game) but some of you who are a little more approachable might be looking for a nice way to tell those over-zealous strangers to f-off.

Enter this shirt from Discobelly

I was 10 when this MC Hammer song was popular so the nostalgia factor was high with this shirt. Plus, it reminds me of this totally rad flash mob!

Now go look at Discobelly. They have a lot of other nice maternity shirts ranging from novelty to chic.
