Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, MP and CP#2 decided to check out Pitter Patter, Inc. — a children’s specialty shop in Bath. Shop owner Colleen Whitaker made us feel right at home. CP#2 was hot on the toy trail, so Colleen invited him to play with a building set while MP browsed. There’s a lot to love [...]

Without fail, MP feels a little disorganized after the holidays. There are decorations to put away, bags to unpack, and new toys to find space for around the house. This Christmas, the Cute Potato kids were especially blessed with art supplies. The influx of crafty goods inspired MP to reorganize the team’s arts and crafts [...]

A Hat with Humor

There’s something so endearing about a child wearing a fun hat. MP came across this crocheted owl hat on Etsy and she’s thinking it would look great with CP#1′s red winter coat. But who says kids should get to wear all the fun hats? Lewiston mother and self-described crochet addict Shanna Tice also makes a version for [...]

MP remembers bringing home a school fundraising catalog filled with Russell Stover chocolate, boxed greeting cards, and foil wrapping paper when she was a kid. Her grandparents loved these items, but friends and neighbors? Not so much. So you can imagine her surprise when CP#1’s school sent home the genius Close Buy catalog. The catalog, designed [...]

MP is a bit of a procrastinator when it comes to shopping for the kids’ fall and winter clothes. She’s the mom who shops for coats when the thermometer drops below 40º. Sometimes waiting to the last minute pays off in form of a sale. Par exemple: this Friday and Saturday’s Polarn O. Pyret Sample [...]
