Hardwood floors are lovely. But they’re nothing if not slippery — as my children seem to discover on a daily basis.
With their new Nowali Moccasins ($25) though, it’s looking like slipping is a thing of the past.
Nowali Moccasins, whose little fans include Ruby Maguire and Sasha Schreiber, are easy to put on and they’ll stay on their feet until you want them off.
The soft suede bottoms grip slippery surfaces and the moccasins are super-duper comfy… or so my kids tell me.
Made in Sweden, these machine washable moccasins are available in sizes from 6 months to 6 years.
When Nowali says their moccasins are for happy feet, they aren’t kidding. And I’d say (particularly with all the slips and falls we’re now avoiding) they’re for happy moms and kids, too!

His wife, 90210 and DWtS alum Jennie Garth, toted Fiona Eve, 2 ½, while Luca Bella, 12, (not pictured) walked alongside.
The actor, 35, is currently in the city reprising his role as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the latest Twilight film, Eclipse.

Seeing the world through the eyes of a child has been eye-opening for model Angela Lindvall. In a new interview with Modelinia, the 30-year-old mom-of-two says that while motherhood “brings about a complete internal strength and a kind of warrioress spirit because you know you’re capable of anything,” at the same time it also “brings out the child within.”
“The child will come to an adult and say, ‘Mommy, look … flower!’ And you can either be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, cute,’ and go back to what you were doing, or get down and stop and be in the moment that your child is always in. Say, ‘Wow, look at the color of the flower. Where did you get it? You know, that’s really beautiful.’”
For Angela, embracing her “goofy inner-child” often means dance parties with William Dakota, 7 ½, and Sebastian, 4. “That’s our favorite thing to do,” she reveals. “I put the music on really loud in the living room, and I let them get on the coffee table [and] the couch…We dance like total dorks.” Having spent the last six months on her own, Angela says that her two children offer her all the support — and snuggles! — she needs. “It’s this unconditional love,” she notes.
“You know when you’re in a relationship with someone, it’s very powerful in the beginning and then you kind of get used to each other? That love with your children is powerful like that all the time. They’re always there. They’re my little buddies.”

As the weeks wind down in her second — and final! — pregnancy, nobody could blame Tisha Campbell-Martin for being a little anxious to deliver. In a new interview with Essence, the 40-year-old actress reveals that things got off to a rocky start with her baby-on-the-way, a boy due September 21st.
“In the first few months I was bleeding and that made us very concerned,” she shares. “When you’re 40 things are a lot different, so I know I have some work ahead of me, but I also know this is the last time for me. My only concern now is my blood pressure, so we monitor that, but other than that I’m really healthy.”
At the same time, expectant motherhood is a state of being Tisha — who is already mom to Xen, 8, with husband Duane Martin — appears to enjoy. “I love being pregnant,” she raves. There are no regrets about going to bat for the blue team again, either. “I think I’m a boy-mommy,” she says. “Xen is so glad not to be the only child.”
“We waited for eight years before we had another child because he needed all of our attention. We say all the time how we kicked autism in the behind because Xen is so amazing — he’s going to a regular school and has friends of his own. He’s a true blessing.”
Her sunny outlook is equally apparent when talking about motherhood the second time around. “At 40, I have so much more to offer as a mom,” she notes. “Xen gave me so many gifts; it was such a learning experience.” Adding that she’s “hoping for the best in health” for her second son, Tisha feels confident that “it’s not going to be as hard as it was with Xen.”
“As much as Duane and I make light of his autism, it was not an easy fight, but we fought it. I’ve been praying for it and believe that it will be easier this time around. But regardless of the challenge, I believe God will never give me more than I can handle and I find peace and comfort in knowing that.”
Tisha says she wouldn’t be surprised if baby boy made an early arrival. “I swear he’s ready to come any day now,” she exclaims. “I’m just trying to get him to stay in there.” Once he’s out, however, Tisha says she’s ready to tend to the job at hand. “I’m so big right now — I told my doctor I didn’t even want to know how much I weighed,” she reveals. “I don’t look at the scale or anything. With Xen, I lost 80 pounds, so I’m looking forward to working on getting rid of this baby fat.”
In the meantime, Tisha says she’s content to continue munching on her two biggest cravings — ice and watermelon — and playing the name game with her husband and son. “We’re still working on it,” she concedes.
“Duane and I haven’t settled on one yet that we absolutely love, and every name Xen’s chosen is a cartoon character.”
