"In honor of Military Appreciation Month in May, Tula released three new prints: "Homecoming," which features red and white stars on navy; "Alpha," a digital camouflage pattern in neutral colors; and the above pictured "Bravo," which is a classic green and brown camouflage pattern. Shown is the Explore Baby Carrier ($179), but the patterns come in Tula's other styles as well. U-S-A!" — Alessia Santoro, editor, Family

"Freshly Picked just dropped five new pairs of moccs featuring everyone's favorite sheriff, space ranger, cowgirl, and the rest of the gang. The brand's Toy Story Moccasins are honestly all too cute to pick from, but my '90s heart leans hard toward the above-pictured Woody City Moccs ($60), which have "ANDY" printed on the bottom. Ugh, my heart!" — AS

"Sunshine is calling our names, and this set of Sesame Street Abby's Garden Basic Skills Development Toys ($15) is perfect for a curious gardener.

"Expecting mamas will be super excited this month at the launch of Summersalt Maternity Bikinis, out June 3. The collection will include bikinis and one-pieces in lots of fun colors, just in time for Summer." — RB

"Chances are whatever play mat you have is in dire need of a refresh. The Ruggish Cali Play Rug ($199) is one you'll be thrilled to look at in the living room. It comes in two shades — gray and a lovely lilac — is double-sided with a fun map on the back, and most important, is made of nontoxic materials that are free of BPA, phthalates, lead, latex, formaldehyde, and EVA." — RB

"Whether you have a newborn or a handful of older kids, if there's on thing Mom and Dad deserve, it's a solid cup of coffee. And the best way to get the freshest beans? By using this incredible Brim Conical Burr Coffee Bean Grinder ($99) that makes your resulting cup of java taste like heaven." — MM

"Hi, my name's Alessia, and I now live in Warner's Breathe Freely High-Cut Underwear ($12) since trying my first pair a few weeks ago. The intimates brand recently launched a new bra line called Breathe Freely, which is an extension of the underwear line I was just introduced to. The underwear fabric is so breathable, making them the perfect pairs for under thin cotton or linen dresses, and even though they're high-cut, they are so cute they couldn't look like 'granny panties' if they tried." — AS

"There's nothing more top-of-mind to parents of kids and teens than screen time, and the Circle Home Plus ($129) wants to help you stay on top of it all. A comprehensive parental control solution to managing online use and content, the device is used with the Circle app to keep track of how much screen time your children are getting on each of their devices, from video game consoles to phones and tablets." — AS

For example, there's a special blend for moms in their first trimester of pregnancy, that is rich in folate to support morning sickness. So genius." — AS

"Lovevery knocks it out of the park again. The brand behind the popular play mats and baby monthly subscription boxes has unveiled a thoughtful Play Kit for Toddlers (available May 1) that's rife with science-backed development opportunities.

"This sweet Loulou Lollipop Lilac Bunny Teether ($14) makes the perfect Easter gift for your little bunny." — MM

Brooklyn Bedding's new Luxury Cooling Mattress Protector ($99) has really helped me keep my hormonal pregnancy night sweats at bay, thanks to the mattress topper's fabric technology that's designed to draw heat away from the body. Another huge plus? It's hypoallergenic and waterproof, which means I can breastfeed in bed and co-sleep with my potty training toddler without worrying about ruining my mattress. The silky top layer has a cushioned, quilted texture for extra comfort, which feels especially dreamy under crisp cotton sheets. — Angela Elias, content director, Family

"These adorable Squid Socks ($24 for three pairs) have tiny silicone dots attached to the cuffs, ensuring baby's socks never slip off. Talk about an easy solution to a common parenting problem!" — MM

"There's nothing as timeless as a pair of light-up sneakers — they're just too cool to ever go out of fashion. However, your clunky Velcro light-up shoes of old have gotten an upgrade. This pair of St. Laurent Glitter Gold Sneakers ($100) is totally adorable and stylish and will make playing outside as the sun sets so much fun." — AS

"We're loving this brand-new Be Kind: Daily Fitspiration Tracker ($15) for active teens who always seem to be on-the-go. Whether they want to keep track of their workouts for cross-country or need to jot down a reading assignment, this sweet planner keeps everything in perspective." — MM

"As a mom to two girls, mother-daughter relationship stories captivate me, but none in quite the stunningly profound way as with this debut book from author Marisa Bardach Ramel, The Goodbye Diaries ($18, available May 7). The memoir, which is co-written by Marisa's late mother Sally, is told in alternating voices following a terminal cancer diagnosis when Marisa was still in high school. (Although I couldn't help but read it through a parent's lens, mentions of trips to the mall and copious Seinfeld references made me feel as if I'd been paging through my own poorly-locked teenage diary, too.) The premise is a gut-punch, to be sure, but what follows is both the unraveling and strengthening of one of life's greatest familial bonds. Moms, you aren't going to be able to put it down." — Kate Schweitzer, senior editor, Family

"This Palm Springs One Piece ($57 and up) is part of Maisonette's exclusive Mom + Mini Marysia collection, and it comes in yellow and teal. It's soft, the scalloping is super delicate, and together the set is just adorable! I can't wait to start planning my family's beach days." — RB

ThirdLove's diverse bra-sizing, online customized fitting process, and trial run policy have already won over a cult fan base, and with their upgraded nursing bra and maternity underwear, pregnant and postpartum women don't have to look elsewhere for their lingerie needs. ThirdLove's new 24/7™ Classic Nursing Bra ($72) includes a different back closure, a more finely adjustable hook and eye, Pima cotton, and pretty gold alloy hardware. Their Cross Front Bikini Underwear ($12) is the brand's first maternity-friendly underwear. I've been wearing both during my last month of pregnancy and can't say enough about the comfort, amazing coverage, and pretty details. The bra fits better than bras I've tried on and purchased in stores for the same price, which is a testament to their online sizing guide. The underwear gives me enough coverage without feeling the least bit granny, and most importantly, doesn't cut into my bump! — AE

"If your kids have a Nintendo Switch, you already know how great it is that the system can be played wherever you go, so as you travel around this Spring, they can be playing the newest Switch game, which features fan-favorite character, Yoshi. Yoshi's Crafted World ($58) is one of those fun, colorful games that kids — and adults — of all ages will love to play." — AS
