Every morning, as soon as we are getting ready to walk out of the door my daughter always asks, " Where are we going?" I always say, "To the babysitter's house," to which she responds, "Why?" I then reply, "Because we need money," and again she asks "Why?" By this point, I'm normally running late and in a rush to get going, so I finally say "So I can buy you a Dora kitchen. You want that Dora kitchen I showed you, right?" (Ed note: That's the sweet Dora kitchen above). Of course, she says yes, the discussion is over and we're on our way.

I've been doing this whole routine with the exact same promise of a Dora kitchen for about a month now. I haven't really thought twice about it, but for some reason I was overcome with guilt on our bus ride this morning. Considering the size of my apartment, the only way I could get her that kitchen is if I got rid of all the toys she already owns. So no, I probably won't be buying her that kitchen and I'm starting to feel awful for saying

Rebecca Taylor is easily one of my top 5 favorite designers. I love her clothes. Her dresses are pretty much the only thing I will splurge on. Earlier this week she opened a new store here in NYC and Fashionista.com scored some major news: Rebecca Taylor is launching a kids' clothing line!

Apparently the children's collection will feature "a few key pieces," which is good enough for me. My imagination is running wild with the possibilities. The collection doesn't launch until later this year, but for now, check out expectant mom Alicia Silverstone in a Rebecca Taylor dress.

So I was checking out the new arrivals at Giggle and came across this VIPP Limited Edition Diaper Pail. It looks sleek and all, and I love the shiny red shell, but it costs a whopping $319. Yikes! I can get a car seat and a stroller for that price, right?

Curious what you get for that kind of money? The fancy diaper pail is made of stainless steel, so it's supposed to be better than plastic diaper pails at keeping the stink inside. Plus, you can use any plastic bag inside so you never have to worry about constantly buying refill bags.

Sounds great, but I'm still not sold. I'll just continue take those stinky diapers straight to the garbage can outside. Besides, I need the exercise.

What do you think? Do you have one? Would you buy one for your nursery or do you think it's a waste of money?

Price: $319

Did you hear? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released new car seat guidelines, which just might change the way you buckle up your kids.

They now recommend that children should ride rear-facing until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat. Also, children should use a booster seat until they reach 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between 8 and 12 years old. Finally, they should ride in the rear of the car until they are 13 years old.

It pretty much means your child will be riding in some sort of car seat for a very long time, so if you haven't yet, you'll need to invest in one that will go the distance. Here are some of our favorites:

If you want a rear-facing infant car seat that you can use with a stroller, try the Graco SnugRide 35 Infant Car Seat ($136). The best-seller is consistently given high ratings, is affordable and has a max weight limit of 35 pounds.

You saved the locks from baby's first hair cut, and you're probably going to save his first lost tooth. But what are you going

to do with that tooth after the tooth fairy comes and goes? How about turning it into a piece of jewelry? Really.

For $65, you can get a one-of-a-kind sterling silver baby tooth necklace. Just send that tooth to Etsy vendor Rock My World, and they'll make a mold of it and cast it in sterling silver. It comes with a 17-inch sterling silver chain, and don't worry...you'll get baby's real tooth back.

So what do you think? Would you buy a baby tooth necklace? Is it cool or creepy? Tell us in the comments below.

I was looking through Isabella Oliver's new arrivals and came across this gold sequin blazer. I don't know about you, but if I wore that maternity jacket when I was pregnant, I'd have probably looked like a walking disco ball. And that's not how I want to be remembered!

And guess how much it costs. If you guessed $319, you're right. For that price, I could build a new maternity wardrobe, complete with a few pairs of maternity jeans, some maternity tops and a couple of maternity dresses, too.
