These metal wall hangings from Crib Rock Couture & Decor are way cooler than anything we ever had on our nursery walls. The bright colors and modern silhouettes integrate your kid's favorite nursery rhymes into his bedroom or play area in a way that isn't trite or fussy. Hang with a ribbon or a couple of nails, and you can easily swap out The Three Blind Mice for Humpty Dumpty or Little Miss Muffet.

Our own Editor in Chief let out an excited "Ooooh!" when presented with a set of these colored pencils for her two boys. The new line by Crayola puts three shades in each implement, so kids can capture with accuracy and ease the different blues in the afternoon sky or various greens in the backyard. Slip them in the cart while stocking up on back-to-school staples, and give kids (and moms) something to be excited about.

If you've spent many a weekend at the beach this summer, your tanned limbs and sun-kissed locks will show it. Unfortunately, so will your feet. If sand is nature's exfoliant, why have all those barefoot afternoons left our heels ragged and dry? No need to fret-- just smooth Farmhouse Fresh Good's Honey Heel Glaze over the offending areas, and they'll be pedicure-perfect before it's time to switch to close-toed shoes.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an adult who doesn't recognize Corduroy from their childhood, and we think it's time the little guy was introduced to your own kids. On October 2, educational advocacy group Jumpstart will hold their third annual Read for the Record Day, with more than 500,000 parents, teachers and children reading Don Freeman's classic story on the same day, for a record-breaking shared experience. The event will raise awareness and funds for low-income education. And in honor of the event, the 1968 favorite is being re-released with a forward by Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer. Get your kid in the back-to-school spirit with one of these special editions, available now.

We have a total fashion crush on "it" bag designer Anya Hindmarch, and are especially smitten with this stunning deep-brown and black-patent treasure. Ok, we know...it's not exactly a bargain. But that old-fashioned shape, that gleaming hardware! The roomy silhouette and shiny finish make it of-the-moment, while the classic design is sure to stay fresh forever. It's one of those items you'll keep dreaming of until it's yours. Trust us. (Available September 1)

We know a rollie-bag can seem like the most functional way to pack for your vacation, but clunky luggage takes some of the romance out of jetting off for a weekend away. The simple-yet chic "Maldives Nylon Weekender" totes by Hayden Harnett come equipped with a detachable shoulder strap and just the right amount of pockets and zippers for packing toiletries and undies. Maybe you'll finally be inspired to book that long-dreamed of trip to the Indian Ocean isles. Until then, your trip to the in-laws will have to do.

Coach's practical and timeless take on the clutch is perfect for the mom-about-town. The luxe blue suede works for any season, the fold over flap makes it roomier than most, and a detachable strap means you can take it from playground pick-up to date night without a hitch. Why not treat the gorgeous color as your new neutral? Matchy-matchy, after all, is so out.

When you use this tote from Alchemy Goods, you can pat yourself on the back twice for your abundant eco-awareness. Not only can the sturdy stand-in conserve paper or plastic when grocery shopping; it's also made from old advertising banners and seat belts to give you extra green cred. The patterns are graphic and bright, and the fabric is so well made it's meant to last a lifetime. In other words, it won't be ending up in a landfill anytime soon.

You're the master of multi-tasking, spending your days shuttling between the office, the gym, the playground...why shouldn't your day bag be equally multi-faceted ? This new nylon number for moms from MZ Wallace is roomy, durable, and has handy pockets made specifically for metro cards, blackberries and baby bottles. It even comes with a detachable change purse and a discrete rubber changing pad. Who knew functionality could be so chic?

Like the recently featured Beach Thingy, we were turned onto these Band-Aid Interlocking Pods by I.D. magazine's current Annual Design Review. The sleek, stackable pods help you keep Band-Aids sorted by size and type so you can bandage any booboo in a pinch. Plus, we love that even a practical, everyday object can be turned into a stylish statement. The new product will be available this month at the East Coast-based BJ's Wholesale Outlet.

We're all for a Miley Cyrus or Sponge Bob Squarepants poster if it keeps the tots smiling, but this piece of bedroom decor will appeal to both parent and child. The delicate, handmade sailboat by Hazelwood Children's designs makes for a sweet touch when hung on a wall, suspended from the ceiling, or re-imagined as a vessel for a traveling princess when telling a bedtime fairytale.

We know how hard it can be to get kids to brush, and our lectures about gingivitis and tooth decay are apparently less than compelling. Maybe some fun dentistry-themed gear will do the trick? Consider today's Daily Find a two for one special, with a toothbrush by Dr. Fresh and a brush holder by Flipper. Press a button on the brush and the brightly colored implement will blink until teeth are sufficiently scrubbed. When cleaning is done, pop your brush into one of these adorable holders until the next use. If these little toys don't work, we give up!

The first day of school is nearing and, while we at Cookie are fans of healthy fare, we're not above chowing down on a classic Duncan Hines cupcake when it's time to celebrate a birthday. But how to effectively carry treats for thirty and not end up with frosting all over the back seat of your car? Behold the cupcake courier, an ingenious carrying case created with this exact dilemma in mind. You'll be the toast of the first grade.
