About three years ago, a trio of talented moms, Dina Kutinsky, Samanta Lieberman and Amy Multack, gave “peace” a chance by using the universally-recognized symbol as inspiration for their Peace-of brand. Offering one-pieces and tees for babies through tweens, the mod and punny pieces sport a twist on the ‘60s anti-war icon, in which the peace sign means both “piece” and “peace.” The symbol, first designed by the British nuclear disarmament movement, is now disarming kids’ wear with cute graphic statements, including “Master Peace”, “Peace of Work”, “Peace-ful”, “Peace of Cake” and “Inner Peace.”

Sibling rivalry is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when it’s celebrated with affirming, terrific tees from BB’s Tees. The Texas-based brand was established by two friends and mothers, Patti Muller and Marty Harper, who were inspired to celebrate both families and fashion with their clothing creations. Renowned on the Big Brother/Sister fashion block for funky graphics and hip designs, BB’s Tees include specialty glittery inks and 3D puffy prints that add dimension and texture. Plus, each shirt comes with a sweet keepsake, The Sibling Pledge!

A new coat of paint and simple window treatments were once the go-to choices for do-it-yourselfers wanting a fresh look on a budget. However, today there are endless fun, fast and easy ways to jazz up bare and bland walls. A variety of companies specialize in creating attractive, designer-quality art decals and adhesives that allow at-home artists to easily create murals and themes which rival a professional interior decorator’s work. WallCandy Arts, Lot 26 Studio and WallPOPS are a few brands walloping the wall décor business with their creative energy and designs!

Children are naturally open to art and love to express themselves by painting, drawing, and sculpting with clay. They are also fascinated and inspired by the creations of others. Displaying artwork with appealing colors and content can help develop children’s early appreciation of art, and make a house feel like home. The Giggle Guide™ looks to the heart of art from several brands that specialize in creations designed to delight and capture children’s imaginations. Our gallery includes engaging works from J. Austin Ryan, Queen of the Trailer Park, Renditions by Reesa, and Green Frog Art.
