CRAZY FUN SUN PROTECTION HATS - BABY GIFT BASKET IDEAS 2008-04-08 16:43:00 Sun hats are just part of a protective mom's arsenal against the possibility of her baby getting a nasty blister when out for a stroll or just playing in the yard. While the ozone layer is getting thinner and the UVA and UVB rays are getting more dangerous, sun protection hats and sun protection gear products for babies are getting more cute, trendy and stylish than ever before. Babies will love taking a swim with friendly lions, tigers, hippos, gators, and giraffes especially when there's no nasty blister to deal with once playtime is done. Baby boys and girls can play at the beach in comfort and safety from the burning rays of the sun when wearing protective clothing or swimsuits with fabric that is UPF 50+ which is the highest baby sun protection around today. And their swimming poo
14k GOLD CHARMS - PERFECT GIFTS for MOM 2008-04-05 20:49:45 Anything that involves 14k gold and diamonds qualifies to be listed in the category of "Perfect Gifts for Moms". New mom gifts are especially important if they are from the baby's dad. There's something about dads showing up with a classy looking gift that makes mom feel a little better after the eighteen hours of hard labor that was necessary to bring his sweet baby boy or girl into the world. If ladies don't have a charm bracelet already, once they become moms they will want one for sure! I have seen so many new moms comparing their beautiful bracelets and the gold charms. Each of the precious keepsakes were added at important milestones of their children's lives. Moms love engravable gold charms that are set with birthstones for each of their babies. The smooth disks are perfect
BABY BOTTLE SLINGS - The Ultimate Baby Gift for Moms of Multiples or...not? 2008-04-01 10:52:54 The birth rate for twins, triplets and mega multiples is going through the roof. What's going on here is uncertain, but what is definite is that this blessed newborn phenomenon has created a market for baby products for multiples. No matter how many babies a mom has, unless she is among the ranks of the rich or famous she only has two hands. So what is a mom to do when all those infants are wailing at the top of their lungs waiting for baby feeding time? Are bottle slings or holders the answer? My parenting experience involved one infant at a time that couldn't manage to hold her own bottle in a pinch so I can hardly give an objective, informative consumer review or opinion on these baby gadgets. I got a bottle sling as a shower gift and gave it a whirl for a bottle of pumped breastmi Read more:Ultimate

Winnie The Pooh Gifts - Ideas for Gifts That Will Be Treasured for Years 2008-03-28 15:25:57 Everybody likes to come up with gifts that they feel won't be thrown into a closet or worse yet set aside to be re-gifted. The answer to the classic Winnie
the Pooh Bear gift ideas dilemma might be this wonderful collectible figurine with all the Winnie the Pooh characters in full color. It might even grow in value! I wonder how it would work as a cake topper! Read more:Gifts

HORTON HEARS A WHO MOVIE REVIEW 2008-03-27 16:45:56 Horton Hears A Who 7" Dessert Plate 8 PackThis blog is not really about kid's movie reviews, but we went to see Horton Hears a Who and I have to write a few words to convince you to spend the money to take the children to see it on the big screen. I can pretty much sum it up in one sentence: It was everything that I thought it would be; super! When I was a kid, I loved Dr. Seuss books because the characters were funny looking and cute. I was conflicted between loving the characters in the Foot Book, Cat in the Hat or Green Eggs and Ham. The cleverly drawn characters peaked my imagination then and now that I’m grown I can only wonder from where Dr. Seuss pulled his inspiration. Enter Horton Hears a Who. Never one of my favorites, but now that I have little ones I can easily say we are
LADYBUG PARTY FAVORS 2008-03-27 15:21:33 These cute little tote bags would have your guests at the birthday party or baby shower crawling all over each other to take one home! They would be excellent gift ideas for a little girl's birthday party especially if the guest of honor plays soccer. Remember the movie about a soccer team called The Ladybugs with Rodney Dangerfield? These tote bags can carry lots of soccer gear, school books or anything else a young lady might want to pack. If you are planning a baby shower rather than a kid's birthday party, these bags would make a lovely, creative gift for the mom with a ladybug nursery in red and black.
HORTON HEARS A WHO TOYS - PUPPETS AND PLUSH TOYS 2008-03-12 14:39:47 Dr. Seuss Horton Hand Puppet There's room in any child's bedroom for a few more plush toys or hand puppets for days when an indoor puppet show is better than parking them in front of the tube watching another movie; unless it's a trailer for Horton Hears a Who of course. Playing with plush toys and hand puppets while making up their own stories is a much better way for kids to develop their own creative entertainment and who knows, you might have the next generation's Dr. Seuss under your own roof. When I was a kid we had a corner in our play room where we had a cardboard box that mom had us to paint and decorate as a home theater. We used dish towels for the stage curtain and had a blast painting our makeshift picture show in wild colors and sticking glitter on it with big globs of
TINKERBELL LAMPS and LIGHTING 2008-03-09 21:38:07 We are always looking for new ways to enjoy our favorite fairy, Tinkerbell, in our everyday lives. A pretty picture, a figurine or a tote bag with Tink's picture in color print on the front are all very nice and my stash of Peter Pan collectibles grows with each year, but collectibles require wall shelves, bookcases and before you know it you're out of room to display your precious items to their full potential. What fun is it when our friends come over if we have to dig our collections out of a cardboard box in the closet for them to admire? The best approach is to located themed Tinkerbell collectibles that take the place of less important pieces that are necessary such as Tinkerbell lamps or decorative Tinkerbell theme accessories. Rotate your collection so it will always seem fresh

CUTE HORTON HEARS A WHO BABY GIFTS 2008-03-07 15:03:57 Dr. Seuss Horton Blankie Dr. Seuss Horton Hears A Who Green Super Bib Dr. Seuss Horton Hears A Who Pink Super Bib Here are some baby basket gift ideas for the Horton Hears a Who fan. If you can't locate any actual Who themed items for newborns, substitute baby stuff with blue elephant motifs. Horton was a big, goofy blue elephant so make it work for you! Elephant print stuff is everywhere! Substitute pink elephants for blue when a baby girl is expected. There are stuffed animals, baby bibs and elephant shaped hooded bath towels. So what if they don't have an actual picture of the character embroidered on them anywhere? If you just want to be a stickler for details, embroider the name; Horton on it yourself in orange or brown letters. You don't have to buy expensive licen
HORTON HEARS A WHO BABY CLOTHES 2008-03-07 14:49:05 Dr. Seuss Horton Who's There Green Infant Bodysuit Dr. Seuss Horton Cover Mens Vintage T-Shirt Texas Orange Dr. Seuss Horton Flower HeadbandThe Horton Hears a Who movie could not have come out at a better time. The blue elephant from Seuss' imagination is so cute on baby clothes. I'm amazed that nobody has figured out that the colors and prints found in the storybooks looks really cool when printed on clothing as well as party decorations and gifts. Infant onesies and t-shirts are almost too small to accommodate the large, blue pachyderm that appears to enjoy resting under a palm tree with bright, lime green leaves. Add the Horton Hears a Who title on the shoulder and the results are bright and bold Dr. Seuss themed baby clothes! It would be ever so cruel to leave the parents
FUNKY, COLORFUL KIDS RAIN BOOTS 2008-03-06 14:10:39 Kids love rain boots, no matter what color. Rubber boots just make splashing through puddles and mud holes seem so....safe. Surely, mommy won't make a fuss if we are dirty from head to toe so long as we are wearing our rain coats, hats and the bright yellow rain boots that were manufactured by her favorite designer. Ralph Lauren kids rain boots are the perfect way to keep both mother and the children happy while playing in ankle deep water. The little feet are dry and warm and stylish as can be in plaid, or polka dot candy color rubber boots. College kids and pre-schoolers are all catching on to the fashionable look that a pair of colorful boots add to an outfit. You see wild prints paired with children's shorts as well as classic trench coats, so now's the time to gear up for the ra
PETER RABBIT DECORATIONS 2008-03-04 13:34:06 Unless you are willing and able to buy expensive collectibles, cute Peter Rabbit decorations are difficult to find. Bunny lamps that I've used in my decorating projects have not been cheap. I was tickled pink to find this inexpensive lamp that will be precious as a Peter Rabbit decoration or a table decoration for an Easter party. If you have a small table or a little empty space on your wall shelf, these sweet little bunnies will add lighting as well as color and charm at less than half the price of collectible Beatrix Potter and friends style figurines.
ICE HOCKEY GIFT BASKET IDEAS 2008-03-04 10:37:13 Ideas for ice hockey gifts that will fit in a gift basket have been one of my most requested items recently. I freely admit that I don't know squat about the game of ice hockey, but I know a thing or two about what moms and dads like to receive in their baby's gift basket.It's always best to include gifts that display well and that turn the gift basket into an arrangement of sorts. Often the gift basket forms the centerpiece of the serving or gift table at the party, so select small hockey themed gifts that are similar in color and are small enough to arrange attractively.Hockey collectibles are always a winner. Figurines with a hockey theme would be my first choice for the best centerpiece in the basket. Surround your collectible hockey figurine with sports themed commemorative coins,
CAMO BABY GIFTS - CLOTHES, BOTTLES and STUFF in CAMO PRINT 2008-03-01 18:43:41 Stylish camo baby bottles are just one of the clever baby gift ideas that we found in camouflage print. Things have really improved for the hunting or military minded mommy having a baby that wants stuff in Mossy Oak or classic camo prints. Babies look so darn cute in camo stuff and daddies will appreciate that their boy's baby's clothes have a manly appearance. None of those sissy patterns and prints for their little man's romper, right? And Mom's got to love that camo comes in lots of stylish colors. There's a place for the classic drab olive camouflage, just not on her little girl's outfit! Hooded onesies and rompers are nice to cover tiny ears on nice days when you want to be outdoors but the wind might be blowing just a bit too hard. Colorful overalls are even more fun when the
BABY MEMORIES - TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE 2008-02-27 17:30:10 Life's all about the people that share your happy times as well as the sad. When push comes to shove, memories are the glue that holds families and friendships tight. When baby is little, everything is fresh on your mind and you may have the idea that you could never forget who was in the hospital waiting area while you were giving birth. How could you fail to remember the policeman's name that had the audacity to stop your speeding car when your birth pains were just a few minutes apart? Believe it or not, the years fly by and there are so many special occasions and events that they each begin to over shadow the other to the point that there's just not enough room in the old memory banks to file them all to recover at a moment's notice. When your baby girl or boy grows up and has the
RED PEEP TOE SHOES for GIRLS 2008-02-08 18:52:00 Pretty little girls have noticed the trendy look that peep toe pumps add to their mommy's special outfits. It's nothing to see perfectly manicured and painted toenails on toddlers so, why not buy a sweet pair of shoes that will match their bright red polish for Valentine's Day? If red hearts and polka dots aren't your taste, there are flats to pick from in pick and yellow as well as sparkling white! A lovely pair of red dress shoes is the perfect gift idea for your child's Valentine Day present. She'll get lots of wear before it's time for the bunny to bring a new pair for her Easter basket! If patent leather is too formal, there are precious casual sandals with red cherries as well as white shoes with tiny hearts. If your little one isn't walking outdoors, a pair of infant size red
TROPICAL HIBISCUS and SLEEPING LIONS - LILLY PULITZER SWIMSUITS 2008-02-08 18:19:55 What's ruffled, precious and covered in sweet tropical hibiscus flowers? Well, your little girl will be if you want her to be as stylish and trendy at the beach this summer! Lilly Pulitzer is the prize winning author of the book in charge of the "what's fashionable in kids' swimsuits" book! Every fabric she touches turns to pure Hawaiian (or is it Florida?) gold. From bikinis to bike shorts, her creations are masterpieces in pink flamingo, starfish and other patterns that have to do with days at the sea. I love clothing with sea horses and ocean critter motifs as much as the next swimmer, but what I truly adore about Lilly's clothing lines are very much in evidence in these tiny toddler swimsuits for girls; the colors! The shades of pink and lime green that she uses on the bathing su
TINKERBELL PURSES, TOTE BAGS and BACKPACKS 2008-02-08 14:17:55 Tinkerbell purses are a cool gift idea for adults as well as young girls who love fairies. Peter Pan's Tinkerbell fairy is one of the more recognizable and popular among the mythical creatures. She may be one of the few who have an actual name! For the most part, the wee ones are unnamed and not nearly as sexy as this little lady. If you need a compact place to store your cellphone or musical devices, a small purse may provide all the storage you need, but for larger items like books or gym clothes a tote bag or backpack might be best. These cute backpacks make cool gifts and I'll leave it to you to come up with some ideas on how to make the gift more personal by tucking little pretties inside that your friends will appreciate. If you are having a birthday party with Tinkerbell as you
UNIQUE CIRCUS ART for KIDS 2008-02-08 13:56:27 Decorating the walls around circus posters or circus clown pictures might be a bit of a challenge. You want something unique and modern because vintage has been done so many times. Fill the space with a utility item with pizazz and pick up a collectible of tomorrow with this intriguing circus wall clock. The clowns are juggling, the ringmaster is directing and the tightrope walker is hanging on for dear life with a twist; it's all very colorful and exciting and this decorative timepiece actually plays circus tunes! It rotates various songs, Alt Kamer, Libiamo, and The Entertainer, by organ as well as the piano. How very cool is that? All this entertainment is run by battery which gives you maximum flexibility on wall placement and you won't have to worry about an electrical cord throwi
CIRCUS FURNITURE 2008-02-08 13:20:17 If there's one style of kid's bedroom decor that hasn't been getting enough coverage lately, it's circus clowns! For the decorator that is looking for a reason to paint the bedroom in bright colors clowns are the way to go! The key is to buy big top furniture for kids like striped book shelves and toy boxes that are painted like the old animal cracker boxes made to look like train cars with caged circus animals pacing back and forth. There's a place for decorative figurines and toys, but I really like the idea of decorating with storage shelves and magazine racks that have been painted with circus animals as well if not better than lots of collectibles. Besides, you will need a place to display your precious collectibles safely! Painted clowns, trained seals and beautiful bareback ride
NOAHS ARK TABLES and CHAIRS 2008-02-06 11:53:26 The best way to keep the dining room or kitchen table free of paper, markers and coloring books so that they can be used as a place for adults and children alike to eat their meals in peace is to provide a special place for your children to draw, paint and be messy and creative without interruption. Set aside a special corner in your child's bedroom where clutter is considered to be a positive element and indicator of your little one's artistic abilities. A set of handpainted Noah's Ark table and chairs will make the area much more inviting especially if they match favorite wooden toys and gift items. If it's clear that you put thought and care into designing a special area for toddler activities it won't seem that you are punishing your child when you tell them to "Go and draw somethi
DR. SEUSS HAT - MY HOMEMADE CAT IN THE HAT PATTERN PARTY 2008-04-19 23:42:35 I went to one of my friend's house to borrow some creamer for my coffee this morning and even in my pre-caffeinated foggy frame of mind, I could tell that she was pretty agitated even for her (she's a pretty excitable chick). I came to find out that the reason for the excitement was that she was trying to figure out how to make a Dr. Seuss hat out of some strips of red and white nylon fabric and cardboard. She didn't have a pattern to make a homemade Dr. Seuss hat, she was trying to wing it on her own with very little success. The fabric she was using was thin, slippery and her sewing machine was puckering the stitches. My initial suggestion was that she ditch the idea of using fabric of any kind and try her hand at making a paper Dr. Seuss hat for her child. She looked aghast and inf
JUMPING JACKS SHOES - KIDS SHOES I LIKE! 2008-04-26 16:23:42 Jumping Jacks is one of my favorite shoes for my baby for spring. Don't get me wrong, I'm not abandoning my Robeez for toddling around the house but for going out on the town baby style, I'm loving me some Jumping Jacks. Cute little navy blue and pink baby Mary Janes just look so cute with shorts and sundresses and for the budget minded moms, the resale values are fantastic. They hold up to scuffs and clean so well that they will still look new when your baby's little foot grows out of them. This translates into a huge discount for baby footwear, my friends! I put the pair of pink and white mary janes at the beginning of the post because they look so cool and ready for summer, but let's face it the navy blue pair with the cute pink hearts won't show wear nearly as much. I tend to shy
