Air Travel: Lap vs. Child Seat
2008-08-17 08:17:34
So you’ve decided to take an airplane trip with your little one, but have chosen to skip out on buying them a ticket for their own seat. You think, he’s too small or I can hold onto her; nothing will happen. The FAA, Federal Aviation Administration, don’t currently require children under 2 to travel in [...]

BBB: Babies Behind Bars
2008-08-16 08:01:40
It’s kind of funny when you think about it, infants in prison, but it is a real fact for many penitentiaries around the U.S. Mothers who were arrested while pregnant or have a young infant are sometimes allowed to have their babies live in the prison with them (is that really fair?). I [...]

Snow White Heads to the Big House?
2008-08-15 14:44:32
A protest at Disneyland apparently got pretty heated as costume-clad employees marched for health care benefits and were subsequently arrested. I can see the point the protesters are trying to make by wearing Disney costumes, but I think that point gets muted by just how cute and slightly absurd they all look. [...]

New Limited Release Disney Princess Ariel DVD: The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Beginning
2008-08-14 12:45:07
Just a quick reminder: The Little Mermaid: Ariel ’s Beginning will be available for a limited time starting August 26th! I watched the sneak peak, and it looks pretty good…not to give too much of the plot away, but apparently there is a ban on all music in the kingdom of Triton and Ariel is once again [...]

2008-08-13 15:29:10
Dora the Explorer is joining forces with Nintendo Wii for the first time ever this holiday season in Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Snow Princess . I have a feeling this latest addition to the universe of Dora games is going to be a huge hit among pre-school aged kids, so mark the October [...]


Kids Go Bananas for Hannah Montana
2008-08-12 13:06:07
I do not get the Hannah Montana trend at all, so I have been trying to avoid writing about it. Sadly, both Hannah Montana and her alter ego Miley Cyrus seem to be here to stay for a while, especially now that kids can get their very own back-to-school Hannah Montana Wake Up [...]


More Obscene Baby Toys: Fisher Price Go Diego Go Walkie Talkies
2008-08-11 15:37:11
First Death Threat Elmo, now this: a Fisher Price “Go, Diego , Go!” walkie-talkie reportedly picked up some questionable trucker banter in West Virginia. Apparently there was talk of marijuana and strippers, but the humor of the overheard conversation was ultimately lost on the mom of the tot who owned the walkie-talkie kids’ toys. [...]

Even More Babies for the Brangelina Family?
2008-08-10 12:54:21
We’re very accustom to how quickly Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt extend their family, especially when the three well-known adoptions (Maddox, Pax and Zahara) and their daughter Shiloh come to mind. You may have already read all of the headlines about their newborn twins Vivienne and Knox, but have you heard that Brangelina are now [...]

2008-09-25 11:11:51
I had no idea when I stumbled upon Teen Pregnancy Barbie last week that she was going to turn into an internet sensation.  Here’s what people have to say: Jezebel Feministing: Reappropriation or Just Offensive: Teen Pregnancy Barbie Choice USA : Coming to a Store Near You!


Teletubbies Dancing Back into the Spotlight
2008-09-24 13:38:13
The Teletubbies craze in the US has definitely waned in recent years, but Tinky Winky, Laa Laa, Dipsy and Po are still shaking things up in the UK with the Teletubbies Dance with Me dolls.  It’s a shame Teletubbies dolls are only available in the UK, because they actually look like a lot of fun [...]

Spooky Baby Halloween Costumes: Vampires
2008-09-22 12:48:19
I admit, I am a little Halloween -obsessed.  But these baby vampire costume ideas are seriously cute. Young bloodsuckers in training prefer Lil’ Vampire Pacifiers. This Baby Vampire bunting costume features exquisite tuxedo styling-for ages 0-6 months. A less traditional approach to the classic Vampire costume: the Vampire Bat.

2008-09-19 12:34:32
Here’s a quick rundown of superhero-themed Halloween costumes for babies: I am not quite sure why this is called the Deluxe Animated Batman Bunting Baby Costume, but the description is correct in saying that “your baby will be the talk of the party,”  especially if your kid is as happy about this Halloween costume as the [...]

Another Blow for The Bratz
2008-09-18 16:16:17
Looks like Canadians have had enough of the Bratz ’ saucy attitudes and skimpy attire.  Parents and psychologists convinced Scholastic Inc. to stop selling Bratz related books and merchandise as of this school year.  This comes as terrible news for the Bratz, who are already in debt up to their eyeballs thanks to Barbie’s legal maneuvering [...]


Disney Princess Perfume: The Nose Knows
2008-09-18 12:58:39
Fans of the Disney Princess es can rejoice: each Disney Princess now has her own signature perfume, which comes in a collectible bottle. I don’t fully understand the perfumerie terms “exit”, “body” and “background”, but Disney Princess Ariel scent is supposed to have an exit of rose and iris, a body of white wood and grape, [...]

Barbie’s Been Getting Busy: Teen Pregnancy Barbie
2008-09-17 16:32:19
I didn’t know how right I was when I first said this has been a busy summer for Barbie .  Artist Nina M. Westerberg got straight to the point when redesigning Barbie as a commentary on 2008’s unexpected social concern, teen pregnancy.  This Barbie is a funny, ironic, yet painfully sad reminder of teen pregnancy’s current [...]

The Joy of Breastfeeding: Now for Dads!
2008-09-16 12:50:02
My eyes have been opened to a WHOLE new world in the past 24 hours: breastfeeding fathers.  When I stumbled upon Milkmen: Fathers Who Breastfeed, I had a hard time believing it was even possible for men to breastfeed.  But I did a little research, and apparently it’s not only legitimate, it’s becoming somewhat popular [...]


Another Exceptional Stroller Concept: Kid Kustoms Roddler Trike
2008-10-14 12:17:35
I have been a big fan of Kid Kustoms‘ awesome stroller designs for a while now, but they have really outdone themselves recently by introducing the world’s first trike conversion kit for Roddler strollers.  The tricycle is just as cool looking as the stroller, with mag wheels and fender covers that will appeal to the [...]

2008-10-10 13:39:08
Well, we’re back to the teen pregnancy issue, and it looks like we’ll have to revisit breastfeeding, because news just broke that Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant again, and the rumor as to why or how is that she thought she couldn’t get pregnant while breastfeeding. Sigh.  You know what, it’s Friday and I don’t think [...]

2008-10-06 15:24:33
I had the best intentions when I came up with the plan for Stroller Month .  Granted, I had been enjoying my second glass of wine at the time, but it did truly seem like a blogging epiphany.  “One totally unique stroller a day, plus weekly stroller votes.  It’ll be like a football pool, except only [...]

Kids Halloween Costumes: Disney Princess
2008-10-03 13:27:02
One great thing about Disney Princess costumes is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween , which makes them something of a bargain.  Hours and hours of playtime fun from just one costume!  The downside is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween to places like [...]
