Get Rowdy! 2008-03-05 16:58:00 I got a new diaper bag. I have had a few, and this is by far my very, very favorite. Rowdy is a diaper bag company that you can trust to bring you cool products, while providing you with the most versatile bag of this kind that I have seen. It's got all sorts of features, like an insulated bottle holder, a changing pad, and a removable clutch so you can have a "purse" too. What I like most about this diaper bag, aside from it's rad look, is that it's enormous. I can carry diapers for both of my boys, along with snacks, drinks, wipes, etc. I have not found one yet that can hold as much as my Rowdy bag!There are several styles & colors of bags to choose from. I went with the Rocker Convertible in copper, and I am quite pleased with my choice. However, I could have any one of thes

First Anniversary Bash: Day Eight - BusyBodyBook 2008-03-04 17:10:00 BusyBodyBook Personal and Family Organizers are just my most favorite thing, aside from my new BlackBerry Curve, of course. Though, sometimes an electronic device just isn't enough for all that I have going on in my life. These planners are top notch. There is a ton of room for everything you need to keep track of inside of them. The planners come in two different formats; academic year (Aug. - Sept.) and yearly (Jan. - Dec.). The '08 planners are are also available in different designs; Dots, Stripes, Brown, and ZigZag. The Dots and Stripes designs are sold out but the 2008 Stripes and ZigZag designs are still available for 50% off. I can't forget to mention the Fridge GRID Pad, an undated, 7-column magnetic pad that sticks to your fridge. I use mine religiously.The new 2009 BusyB Read more:Anniversary

First Anniversary Bash: Day Three - Natural Pod 2008-02-28 00:01:00 Whenever I think about all of the recent toy recalls and the safety of my toddler, Natural
Pod always comes to mind. I never have to blink an eye or worry when I see her playing with something from this conscientious boutique out of Vancouver BC. Bridgitte (Natural Pod founder) has got something really good going here and we're lucky to have them around.Natural Pod has quite a few new products to offer. It's hard to just pick a few of them to feature here but here are some of my favorites:Farm yard knob puzzle - Help your children learn to recognize shapes.Organic Play Dough - Contains 100% certified organic ingredients.Natural barn - Excellent for imaginative play!We have such a fantastic relationship with the folks at Natural Pod and that is because we both have the same goal in mind Read more:Anniversary

First Anniversary Bash: Day Two - Boon 2008-02-27 00:01:00 I'm a picky mom when it comes to toy storage in my house. I don't want too many storage bins or toy boxes lying around with toys hanging out of them. One little predicament we managed to get ourselves into was too many of those furry friends piling up, also known as "stuffed animals". The more we weed out, the more we accumulate. I know that we will have a never-ending supply of stuffed animals for years to come.A unique manufacturer of baby, kid and parenting products by the name of Boon has a sensible solution to your stuffed friend pile-up. It's called the Animal Bag. The Animal Bag is a Godsend. I have freed up so many shelves and toy boxes because of this fabulous invention.Animal Bags are available in different sizes and colors. Not only are they a perfect storage solution, Read more:Anniversary

The Cool Kids Wear Tomat 2008-02-26 20:40:00 Tomat is a fresh new store that will have your kids looking their coolest. Using only cotton made in a sweat shop free environment, you can deck out your baby or toddler in some super sweet duds! Started by a graphic designer, Efi knows how to combine comfort and fashion.Tomat's onesies for infants are simple and groove-a-licious. This line includes organic choices, like the casette, and 100% cotton choices, like under the influence. I could definitely drop a pretty penny on Lennon in this department, but since I have a closet and dresser full of baby clothes, I'm going to try to contain myself.The toddler line could not be more perfect for our little rockers, Noel and Hailey. Noel is prepared to head to the disco in his future dj shirt, and Hailey is jammin' to her favorite tunes in

A Tu Attached to the Tee! 2008-02-21 19:13:00 I'm head over heels for all things cutsie for little girls, since I have one of my own as you know. Tu for Tee has made a pretty big impression on me. This three women owned boutique offers tanks, short sleeve and long sleeve tees with a piece of tulle attached at the bottom. The second I put the Tu for Tee on my toddler, she was spinning around and saying, "Look-a-meeee, I'm beauOOOtiful!" If something this simple and adorable can set off the sparkle in my baby's eyes, then color me sold.The long sleeve, thermal tee is extremely soft, light-weight and stretchy and she gets to wear her tutu all day long. I'll find her stopping in mid-play to look down and admire it. I figured I'd end up with a girlie-girl.The tanks, perfect for summer frolicking, retail for $39.99. The tees retail Read more:Attached

Fadiddle: For the Under Six Crowd 2008-03-14 18:23:00 I found out about Fadiddle a while ago because I saw their "Future Blogger" design. In all of my days of researching boutiques, I have never come across a future blogger tee for my toddler. Anyone who knows me, knows that my husband and I are avid bloggers. We're recruiting our daughter into the blogosphere too. So, you can imagine why the boutique who offers this design stuck with me. The "Future Blogger" design isn't the only one that caught my eye over at Fadiddle. There's grumpapotomous and newb among many other embroidered, one-of-a-kind phrases and designs to choose from.The fine, fine couple (Caleb and Deb) from the earthy city Portland, OR, who make these spectacular pieces of clothing ask but only one thing of you...that you love their work and your children wear their ap
In The Motherhood: For Moms, By Moms 2008-03-14 09:47:00 If you're not already familiar, In The Motherhood
is a series of stories online written by real moms, for moms. What is unique is that you can submit your stories, have them voted on and if your story wins, you can watch it acted out by professional actors. Starring in the second season of these fabulous webisodes are Leah Remini (The King of Queens fame), Jenny McCarthy (model/actress/author) and Chelsea Handler (stand-up comedian). Check out this webisode from the second season, "Infamous 3rd Date" where Chelsea Handler's character, Heather, gets a little "surprise":The shows are a hoot! I think it's fantastic that we can share our real life situations with other parents in this way and really get a good laugh out of them. Unfortunately, the submissions are closed for this seas
Baby Star: Safe for Baby 2008-03-12 21:06:00 A safe choice for parents in baby products can be found at Baby Star. All of the products from this company are *formaldehyde-free. What exactly does that mean? It means you, your baby and the environment are safe.Baby Star has a wonderful selection of bibs, blankets, burps and many other comforting baby items to choose from. They also carry the new Caribou bassinet and accessories, which I happen to be very fond of. Baby Star has been offering safe, cuddly and unique products since 2006 and these products are available for purchase at select children's boutiques around the world. You can also find Baby Star products online at select eBoutiques.We've been putting the four square pink bib to use around our house lately and in my opinion, I think it's a great quality bib.*While I wa
