Suri Cruise didn’t let this week’s East Coast snow-verkill damper her chic style. While in N.Y.C. with mom Katie Holmes on Feb. 10, the budding fashionista stepped out for a quick walk in a pretty pair of light pink and white Mary Janes by Nike Kids ($48).
Sporty, yet oh-so girly, her sneaks feature sturdy rubber soles with added traction to curb slips or falls. They also come with elastic crisscross Velcro straps to ensure a snug fit.
The 3 ½-year-old paired her pink kicks with a dress from mom’s Holmes & Yang line, a stylish red trench coat, and a cozy striped scarf, hat and mitten set. She also toted her favorite Disney Princess umbrella to keep the flurries at bay!

Fame is a hard concept for some adults to grasp, let alone children, but Angie Harmon says that she recently had to explain as much to daughter Finley Faith, whom she describes as “a very, very young six.”
“It was like 4:30 in the morning,” Angie tells Celebrity Baby Blog exclusively. “She was sick as a dog [and] we were down in the theater watching a movie because that’s what we do when she’s sick.”
Suddenly, Finley looked at Angie — whose new television series Rizzoli will debut later this year on TNT — and asked, “Mommy, are you famous?”
“I looked at her and said, ‘Well what’s famous?’ And she goes ‘Cool.’ So I had to had a big talk with her that famous does not equal cool … I said famous means a lot of people recognize me because of my job but that doesn’t make me cool.”
Instead, Angie said she explained that “what makes me cool is how I treat other people and how I treat other human beings, with respect and kindness.” The actress, 37, said she then pointed out that by her definition, Finley is “just as cool” as her mom. Angie adds,
“She probably didn’t get any of it because she was so sick! But I think it’s starting to enter her mind.”
In addition to Finley, Angie is mom to daughters Avery Grace, 4 ½, and Emery Hope, 13 months, with husband Jason Sehorn.

In a revealing new interview with PARADE, comedian Jerry Seinfeld speaks at length about his approach to parenting Sascha, 9, Julian Kal, 6 ½, and Shepherd Kellen, 4 ½, his three children with wife Jessica Seinfeld.
At the heart of their philosophy are the “poison Ps” — three rules the couple swear by.
First on the list is praise, something Jerry feels parents dole out more often than they should. “We tell our kids, ‘Great job!’ too much,” he says. Problem solving claims the second position, with Jerry opining that society “refuse[s] to let our children have problems.” He elaborates,
“Problem-solving is the most important skill to develop for success in life, and we for some reason can’t stand it if our kids have a situation that they need to ‘fix.’ Let them struggle –it’s a gift.”
As for Jerry’s final “poison P” — giving kids too much pleasure — the point was made by a mom ordering cookies for her three children not far from where the interview was being conducted. “Can you believe this?” he asks. “It’s 5:30 p.m. — when will they have dinner? At 8?”

Dogs, monkeys, penguins, oh my! Your little ones will go wild over Skip Hop‘s Zoo Lunchies ($13). More fun than your average lunch bag, they’re roomy enough to stash a sandwich, snack and drink, yet small enough for mini hands to tote around. Plus, they come in four adorable styles — blue dog, brown monkey, pink mouse and black penguin.
The easy-to-clean, insulated interior — which features a handy mesh pocket to store utensils and nametag — keeps food and drinks cold. Want to take it on-the-go? Clip the handle on a backpack or stroller. They’re also PVC-, BPA- and Phtalate-free, so you won’t have to worry about harmful chemicals getting into your toddler’s meal.
Most of all, we dig the matching zipper pulls. From a dog bone to a slice of cheese, we could zip them up and down all day!

When she retired from professional sports, figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi envisioned a quiet life with husband Bret Hedican and their two daughters Keara Kiomi, 6, and Emma Yoshiko, 4 — but life hasn’t unfolded quite as she envisioned.
“I never thought I’d still be working this hard in my thirties,” the 38-year-old television personality concedes in a new interview with Working Mother. “I still have an itch.”
Staying busy off the ice comes at a price, however, and more often than not that price is guilt.
Like so many others working moms Kristi struggles to “juggle” the demands of family and career. She adds,
“Sometimes I think I overextend myself because I’m traveling too much and am away from the kids. It’s a fine line to find that balance. These days I make business decisions based on whether something is worth my time away from my kids.”
With that said, Kristi is quick to clarify that she harbors no regrets about the decision to hang up her skates.
“My priorities have changed drastically and I’m lucky I was ready for that,” she points out. “I’d toured with Stars on Ice for 10 years; I was ready to … unpack my suitcase and not pack it for a very long time.”
