National Autism Awareness Month
We continue to look for ways to share valuable information with our members. April is National Autism Month so we thought we’d bring you some information from an autism expert.

Maternity Fashion Week: Styling Tips
It’s Maternity Fashion Week at zulily, so we caught up with Robin P., Maternity Apparel Buyer, to get the details.
Tell us about your job!
It’s my job to find maternity brands big and small and bring them to zulily moms at a great value. I scour the planet to find products that they can’t find anywhere else.

the newbie: the best advice
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
When I was about to become a new parent, the advice flew at me from all sides: Sleep when the baby sleeps, say yes when people offer to bring you dinner, get blackout blinds! All solid tips, by the way.
And, now that June is 18 months old, I realize that one piece of advice, given by a long-time friend, stands above the...

Behind the first ever zulily commercials!
zulily wants to celebrate childhood and the uniqueness of that fleeting time for every family. At no other point can your kids twirl as fast as they can in a colorful tutu or transform into a pilot simply by putting on an aviator beanie.
This was our inspiration.
We invited kids of real zulily customers to be the stars of our first commercial-after all, we love our customers and don’t...
The newbie: Parent Me vs. Me Me
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
Is it me, or does having a child feel like adding a full-time job to your full-time job? I know everyone does it and somehow makes it work… but I’m still trying to figure out how.
As June nears her second year, my life sometimes feels like my own again. She has her schedule and I balance my own work around it with the help...

the newbie: Individual Playtime
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
June recently inherited a dollhouse from a friend, and she is smitten. She loves the working doors, the ringing phone and the little people who she can move from bed to chair to kitchen. It’s pure 18-month-old bliss!
In fact, I’ve been able to leave her alone in her room while I’m right next door in myown folding laundry...

the newbie: Meals for Tots
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
I always wondered why parents seem to carry around Goldfish and string cheese for snacking. I thought I’d be the one with healthy carrot sticks and avocados, which do make it into my bag sometimes but are usually eschewed for the above-mentioned crackers and cheese.
Snacking issues aside, at 18 months, I can’t...

It’s All Personal
The search for ideal children’s products started when I was pregnant with my first daughter. During that pregnancy, I read the book Healthy Child Healthy World: Creating a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Home by my co-founder Christopher Gavigan and learned about toxic chemicals in everyday products like baby shampoo, diapers, home furnishings and household cleaners. Of course, I was shocked and upset. ...

the newbie: Car Seats
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
We don’t drive often because we live in a city, but when we do take road trips— to the “big” grocery store, upstate for the weekend, over to Grandma’s house—I would love for it to be a good experience for 17-month-old June.
So far, that’s not happening. We’ve had her seat facing backwards, as recommended, since her...

the newbie: So Much Stuff
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
We have very generous relatives, and since June is the first grandchild on both sides, our 17-month-old did quite well this Christmas. The phrase “made out like a bandit” comes to mind.
While that is awesome in lots of ways, it’s also… overwhelming. Living in a small city apartment means we have to constantly be on top of...

the newbie: A New Babysitter
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
One issue I regularly have is that I have to wait for my husband to get home before I can head out. By the time he gets home, I’m meeting friends for dinner at 8pm or later… and that’s just too close to my bedtime for my liking!
So recently I met a college student who lives nearby and babysits for some of our neighbors....

the newbie: Winter-Wear (or Not to Wear!)
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
I have a very serious question: How the heck do you get winter gear to stay on a 16-month-old?
Maintaining possession of June’s mittens and hat when we go for a stroll is tougher than keeping track of Barbie’s tiny shoe sets. She flings them off, dropping them on the sidewalk while gleefully shouting “All done!” when...

the newbie: TV Time
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
I’ve read a lot about how kids under two years old shouldn’t have “screen time,” which I guess means TVs and iPads, etc.
June is almost a year and a half, and she gravitates toward our devices. The phones and the iPad are pretty much game consoles for her, and she loves to watch videos of various performers singing “Old...

the newbie: Food Drama
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
Baby June has been a good eater since she started solids, mostly chomping away happily at whatever we put on her tray. Berries, pasta, eggs with spinach… even Chicken Tikka Masala has gone down with ease.
Until now.
Suddenly she’s refusing lots of dishes, seemingly at random. One day at lunch she’ll try a bite of macaroni...

the newbie: Toddler Hair
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
I have a confession: I don’t want to cut Baby June’s hair! While many of her friends are still bald, she has a lovely head of wavy brown hair that I just adore. Last weekend, she met her little cousin Clara for the first time, and Clara was obsessed with June’s curls, pulling at them every chance she got!
The thing is, her...

Shopping for My Girl
By Allison Slater Tate, who can also be found blogging at allisonslatertate.com/
When my first baby was a boy, my husband breathed a sigh of relief – not because he didn’t want a girl, but because he was under the (somewhat mistaken) assumption that I would spend less money buying clothes for a baby boy than I would for a baby girl.
I swear I’m not a completely shallow person, but I love me some...

the newbie: Late Walkers
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
June is almost 16 months old, and she’s still crawling. She stands up regularly, takes a step or two when encouraged (sometimes), but mainly she thinks the whole walking thing is overrated.
This means a few things for me:
First, her clothes are all insanely dirty. Muddy pants, sloppy sleeves, shoes that look like they’ve...

the newbie: Volunteering with Kids
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
Our beloved New York City got hit very hard with Hurricane Sandy, but luckily we live on high ground in Brooklyn and our neighborhood was spared the brunt of the storm. We feel so lucky to have power, water and dry floors, and we’re looking for ways to help our neighbors deal with the destruction they’ve faced.

the newbie: Halloween!
By Melissa Walker, who can also be found blogging at melissacwalker.com
I know that, at 15 months, June is too young to remember this Halloween. But still, how can we resist dressing her up and taking her door to door?
My husband is getting out of work early on Wednesday, we’re bundling up our baby girl in a strawberry outfit that’s cozy and cute, and we’re collecting candy! (Whether June gets...
