We Covet Aprons that S.O.S. (save our shirts)

We've all been there.  That cute outfit we scrimped and saved for, coveted even, is now a casualty of cooking, crafting or clumsiness.   Attorney and mother of two (with one more on the way) Stacey Ferguson decided to strike back and save her outfits with style, and The Mommy Apron™ was born.                   

A combination chef's apron, art smock, crafting coverup, and gardening tool holder, this cute apron combines fashion and function.  Treated denim  remains stain-resistant, no matter how many times it is machine washed.  The printed grosgrain ribbon adds a preppy touch and the deep pockets provide "extra hands" and tool storage. A single button fastener makes for easy nursing.   

Not only is this practical, it's a modern rip on my June Cleaver fantasy.  I covet wearing this apron while carrying a perfect chicken divan casserole to the table as my family cheers, or whipping up Halloween costumes on a sewing machine.  Well, owning the apron, at least, can be a reality.

We Covet Celebrity Hand-Me-Downs, Sort Of

Hey, it's for charity. And if I can get my hands on Julianne Moore's Stokke (that doesn't sound dirty, at all) or Matt Damon's diaper bag (that does), then why the hell not?

You all are free to grapple over Tori Spelling's used baby crap, or Elisabeth Hasselbeck's car seat, though. I'm not touching that shiz.

We Covet Big Flowery Granny Bags

I'm ordinarily not one for flowery prints in any incarnation - not clothes, not scarves, not bags, not anything (some exception is made, however, for shoes with any kind of cherry blossom print. Can't explain why, it just is.)

But, you know, throw a funky bag with a cool, sort-of-geometricish shape to it and a grannyish print of paisley and pansies (pansies!) in front of me, and I could change my mind.

Gift For New Moms We Covet

Imagine a world where your husband insists on changing dirty diapers, cooks gourmet meals, does the housework and gets up in the middle of the night when the baby cries. Now that's hot.

Oh yeah baby, twist that Diaper Genie. TWIST IT. HARD.

(This book contains no actual nudity. Sorry to disappoint, ladies. It is, however, chock full o' pictures of hot men doing housework and childcare, which, you know, I'd totally take over photos of anyone's junk any day.)
