Our destination was Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. The shopping area is about 10 blocks so its not too great of a walk but well worth doing it on foot. Lots of cute coffee houses and quite a good choice of kid related products. We started in the middle and walked one side then the other. I’ll go through what we found.

Color me mine: This is a great place to get some creativity out of your sprout and kid. They have a ton of pottery that kids can paint to the fullest extent of their imagination.

Peek … Aren’t you curious?: They have some really cool clothes. We browsed for a while….

Jenny Bec’s: They had beautiful children’s furniture.

First Cut: Bring your kids to get a haircut.


KidsBizz: Clothing store for babies and kids.

Moms the Word: what more can I say? They have clothes for mommies with bean.


Brenda Himmel: A place where you can buy thank you notes for all the presents you get.

Little Aura: They had the cutest dresses. Just like the ones I had when I was a kid.

Babystyle: This place had lots and lots of stuff. Baby clothes, Baby gear, Maternity clothes. Oh they had the cutest Halloween costumes. (Lady Bugs!)

Lucky Kid: Kid’s version of the Lucky Store.

Little House: Beautiful bedding for your nursery. I think I might go back to get some fabric there.

Janie and Jack: Kid’s Clothing Store. They have another one at the Grove.

Every Picture Tells a Story: Books and Paintings from Children’s books.

Miel: Another place to buy kid’s clothes. They had the cutest overcoat for girls.

I don’t know how our readers are feeling about the magnitude of stuff, but I am getting really worried about where to put all this. Our house is already pretty cluttered as it is. (hubby likes junk- although he calls it collectibles) Maybe I need to think really hard about having a massive garage sale. (Hubbies- stuff goes first)
