Forever Young

At Earnshaw’s we’ve discovered the fountain of youth. For 100 years our magazine has celebrated the wonder, energy, and innocence of children. From the Roaring Twenties to the Swinging Seventies to now, we’ve had a fantastic time chronicling the items little ones can’t live without, with so much more to come. The styles may have changed along the way, but kids are kids no matter the decade. And to mark our milestone, we could think of no better tribute than to feature on this month’s cover 100 delightful babies who are just starting their own fantastic journeys. A big congrats and thank you to the adorable tots, the winners of our #100years100babies Instagram contest. Many of the babies (and their intrepid parents!) traveled to New York City from as far as Los Angeles and Alabama to help us celebrate with a fun day of fashion, pampering and pictures.  Behold, our cover stars…
