The weather outside may be frightful, but the holiday racks at Mama Goose are delightful! We’ve got fancy festive frocks your kids can wear when walking through a winter wonderland.  This month’s models, Gillian and Leo, know how to get holiday party ready.  Check it out below:

These two cutie patooties are dressed to the nines!  Gillian slays in a Harajuku mini dress (size 6, $9.95) and red patent leather Mary Janes by Naturino (size 13, $8.95.)  Her tights ($1.95) are just one of many available in our tights bin, but the headband is her own.

And is that a three-piece suit Leo is rocking?  You better believe it is:

Suit (size 2, $12.95) and shoes (size 8, $8.95) by The Children’s Place; plaid buttondown shirt by Gymboree (size 2, $3.50.)  That’s a fine looking fella!

And if you’re the kind of gal, like Gillian, who believes in a mid-party wardobe change, you’re in luck!  Our holiday racks are positively brimming with festive glam, like this Lilly Pulitzer dress (size 6, $13.95)  and lace knee socks ($1.95,) matched with shiny flats (size 13, $5.95.)

Think your kids can bring this level of holiday magic to your season of parties?  Come down to the Goose and check out our seasonal wear.  ‘Tis the season to be fancy, and the Goose can help!  See you soon.

‘Tis the season to be cozy! The crisp fall air and changing leaves inspire us to reach for our scarves and sweaters. Layering is the name of the game this November, for grown-ups and goslings alike.

Check out Semaiah and her little brother Carter as they show off how cute and cozy can go from outdoors to indoors in a flash.

Semaiah’s Oilily dress (size 7/8, $11.95) and Mini Boden velour leggings (size 7/8, $1.50) are showcased on our back-by-popular-demand Brands You Love rack. They pair perfectly with baby blue Uggs (size 13, $14.00) and a Bobbie Brooks faux fur shag vest (size 10, $4.95.)  Carter is rocking a Baby Boden long-sleeved tee (size 18 months, $5.95) with cozy Zutano fleece pants ( 18months, new w/tags $7.95) An organic cotton jacket by Earth Creations (size 2, $8.95) and Zutano bear hat (new w/ tags, $3.95) keep him extra warm.

We made it! After months of camp schedules, mosquito bites, and the never-ending search for dry towels, September is here. Once again, those glorious angels of education we call teachers are opening their arms to our kids for another school year.  All we have to do is dress ’em up and drop ’em off!

This month we had a fine looking family of kids to show off how great back to school can look.

Before heading back to school, Lexi, Marcus, Aidan and Lehigh took some time out of their end of summer schedules to show off some back to school looks for us!

Marcus is rocking an OshKosh button-down (size 8, $3.50) with Mini Boden shorts (size 10, $4.95) and autumnal colored New Balance sneakers (size 5, $9.95.) Mixing patterns and colors is a great way to make a fashionable first impression!

Lexi is pairing a Cherokee dress (size 7/8, $6.95) with a Ralph Lauren sweater (size 6, $6.95) and glittery Stuart Weitzman flats (size 2, $9.95.) Just because you’ve got to go to school, it doesn’t mean you have to dull your sparkle – I mean, check out those shoes!

Lehigh’s green button-down is by Nautica (size 6, $1.95), his cargo pants are Cat & Jack (size 6, $4.95) and his shoes are Old Navy(size 1, $4.95.) The classic lines and colors of this outfit may say business, but that face is all play!

Last but not least, Aidan is wearing a Gap polo (size 8, $1.50) and H&M shorts (size 8, $2.95) with Sperry loafers (size 3, $12.95.) This look has that effortless Americana chic that’s perfect for the first day, but harkens back to summer fun on the water and in the sand.

Of course, no back to school look is complete without a backpack! Pictured below, from left to right: super cool skull and crossbones ($5.95), the perfect bag for your sports nut ($6.95), a precious Pottery Barn unicorn ($9.95) and Buxton knapsack ($6.95.)

What are your kiddos hitting the hallways in? We want to see your first day looks! Read more about our Back to School contest here!

With temperatures still high and humidity ever present, movin’ and shakin’ can be uncomfortable for parents and baby alike. Lucky for us, innovations in babywearing and travel accessories have made traveling with baby easier for all parties!

In summer temps, a lighterweight and more breathable carrier is key to happy and healthy babies, and calm and dry parents. Major carrier brands have answered the call with active models that keep baby safe, keep mama or papa cool, and look great doing it.

This lime green ErgoBaby Sport carrier ($40) is made from a poly-cotton blend, giving it a lighter-weight feel without sacrificing durability. This carrier features a vent, allowing more air to circulate around baby, and has a detachable hood to debulk the area around baby’s head. Adjustable to front inward carry, hip carry, and back carry, the ErgoBaby Sport lets baby hit the trails or the aisles of Target with the same ease.

The ErgoBaby Performance Carrier (in grey, $80) is the ultimate carrier for super active moms and dads. Featuring a lightweight fabric with mesh lining, it’s ideal for outdoor sports and activities. Its durable, water-repellant outer layer provides protection from the elements and the contoured shoulder straps keep baby close. This is the ideal carrier to explore the gorges and hiking trails of the beautiful Finger Lakes!

Hitting the beach? This Boba Air carrier ($35) is super portable and breathable in all the right places! Made from an ultralight nylon material, the carrier is self storing and super easy to wipe clean. Toss this right into your backpack or beach bag, and your little one can nap or nurse on the go with ease. Any mess shakes or wipes right off and boom – back into your bag it goes!

But what about when your little one is travelling on wheels? How do you keep baby from becoming a sweaty mess while riding in the stroller or car seat?

On the left, Manito’s Breathe 3D Mesh insert for stroller or car seat ($15) is designed to keep cool air in in the summer, and warm air in the winter. Incredibly easy to install, it is cushioned throughout to keep baby extra comfy and cool.

On the right, this Meeno Babies Cool Mee car seat liner ($1.99) promotes airflow between your child’s body and their seat. Removable and easy to wash, Cool Mee car seat liners come with an velcro-adjustable headpiece that allows for horizontal or vertical orientation – whatever suits your gosling and their seat best!

Stay cool out there, mamas (and papas)!
