By Shasta Moczulski, Fashion & Beauty Director
Happy Monday!  We are kicking this week off with a teaser for our Buyers Guide: Most Wanted, Hottest Toys of 2010.

We chose Calico Critters from International Playthings to be our teaser because we here at CupcakeMAG for Littles™ love Calico Critters and knew that all of you, our amazing readers, would also adore these sweet toys.  There are countless families, twin babies, homes and environments to choose from. 

Each Critter family comes with a Mom, Dad, brother and sister.




These sweet babies come individually in a Mini Carry Case; they are a perfect stocking stuffer!

The perfect way to start a Calico Critter collection! This cozy cottage comes fully assembled and ready to play with everything you need for hours of pretend play fun. With over 10 furniture pieces and accessories including Bell Hopscotch Rabbit, bed with matching sheets, round table with chairs, kitchen counter with sink and oven, moveable ladder for easy access to each floor, cookware and yummy food! The Cozy Cottage, measuring at 12” x 10.75” x 8”, is for ages 3+ and retails at MSRP $49.99.

Imaginative play is such a wonderful thing for children to experience and we think that Calico Critters will absolutely spark your little one’s imagination!

We Are So Excited About Playpants Modern Bloomers™ And An Exclusive Offer For Our Readers!

By Shasta Moczulski, Fashion & Beauty Director


I am thrilled to share with you our review of Playpants Modern Bloomers™, as we here at CupcakeMAG for Littles, love to bring our readers all of the latest info on the best products available for our children. 


My experience in the past with bloomers was that the elastic around the thighs and waist usually quite restricting and uncomfortable for my babies.  I cannot sing enough praise for these fantastically constructed Playpants™!  The quality, fabric, construction and sweet look of these bloomers won me and the CupcakeMAG for Littles team over! 

Because of our new found love of Playpants™, we wanted to present you all with an opportunity to win the adorable pair that I reviewed; the style is called “Sunday Brunch”, in size 4: 22-37 lbs/ 9-12 months. 




The Playpants™ story, from the creators themselves, Rachel, Anna and Zoe:

Playpants™ are proudly designed and manufactured in Vancouver, B.C. by Rachel Boguski, Anna Day, and Zoe Flower, three moms with 6 little bums of their own to cover. With playdates full of busy boys and girls, we quickly recognized a void in the market for a simple yet stylish way to cover up the busy bottoms in our lives.  What we were searching for was a modern take on traditional baby bloomers most commonly attached to a dress, but we continually came away disappointed by cheaply made and poor fitting products.
Using our diverse talents and backgrounds— ranging from videogame design to linguistics and medical sciences— in August 2009, the three of us set out on a journey that would change our lives, our families and our friendships. Playpants™ Modern Bloomers was born.
Playpants™ are as convenient as they are stylish.  They prevent curious babies from pulling off their own diapers. They cover toddlers’ underpants. They offer a quick no-fuss solution to getting dressed-- no buttons, no snaps, no flaps, no zips. They are perfect on their own in the summer, and help keep up tights in the winter. Any season, any occasion, any bum… we’re dedicated to bringing bottoms back into focus in a fresh, functional and fun way. As we like to say... "Little Bums. Big Style."
Our designs are inspired by our own children to reflect the individuality, playfulness, and simplicity we strive for in our everyday lives.

What are Playpants?


Playpants are the original modern bloomers for the little bums of your little ones. Our bloomers cover disposable, cloth and hybrid diapers in machine washable 100% cotton prints and certified organic styles to fit girls (and boys!) from birth to three years.

Back-to-School in STYLE

By Shasta Moszulski, Contributing Writer


Finding back to school clothes and supplies at great prices can very tricky and time consumming.  I know from my own shopping experiences as a mother of three, that the entire BTS shopping experience can be not only overwhelming, but exhausting.  Many of you are also trying to get your shopping done, so I thought that I would show you all of the great stuff that I found on Target.com, many of the items are available in stores too.  Target has great stuff, for all age groups.   Not only did I find great stuff for my kids, (and all of their school supplies) I also found fantastic stuff for myself and my husband!  Take a look below to see just what we found - whether it is a boy or girl, tween or pre-schooler - even in uniform - you can get it all covered at Target. 



Read on to get all the details on our back to school finds below. Happy Shopping!
