The concept behind Mally bibs made no sense to me when I first heard about them. A bib. Made of leather. That won’t stain. And does not require special cleaning. Just rinse it off.

Posted on January 21, 2009 3:28 AM
You may have noticed a new feature on the sidebar called “What I Love Right Now.” While it’s true there is already a Top 20 list as well as a My Favorites category, I still fear some unbelievable companies and products get lost in the shuffle.

No Girls Allowed: One Stop Boy Shop
Posted on January 13, 2009 4:00 AM
While it’s true shopping for little girls can be fun, I was surprised when my son was born to find equally cute boy products. Making it even easier to focus on your little guy, One Stop Boy Shop is “all about the boys.” Frustrated by the lack of selection for boys versus girl clothing and [...]
Comfy Changing Pad: Ah Goo Baby Plush Changing Station
Posted on January 6, 2009 3:57 AM
Yes, your diaper bag comes with a changing pad. But trust me, it’s not as fashionable or comfortable for baby as the Plush Pad by Ah Goo Baby. I love so many things about this changing station: it’s hip- looking, rolls up nice and small, and is made with memory foam so it is comfy [...]

Look at Those…Socks? Jazzy Toes for Baby & Toddler
Posted on December 15, 2008 4:00 AM
Are there more products out there for baby girls than boys?

Cute, Clean Designs: Bugalug Hair Accessories
Posted on November 12, 2008 4:00 AM
Once upon a time I made my own bows. This was pre-son and pre-blog. I’m not terribly upset about having to purchase hair accessories for my daughter for two reasons. First, I’m not super crafty to begin with and didn’t enjoy making bows all that much. Second, her barrettes and bows looked like everyone else’s. [...]

Nurse in Public Privately
Posted on June 18, 2008 5:00 AM
Slurp & Burp Nursing Wrap I had a hard time with the title because I didn’t know if I should call the Slurp & Burp a wrap, cover or something else because it really is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It is the most discreet way I’ve found to nurse baby in public. Because the [...]

Hip Hats for Kids of All Ages
Posted on June 2, 2008 10:28 AM
Jamie Rae Hats The name is deceiving; this company’s cuteness applies to more than just hats, though I will admit the sunhats are my favorite.

Baby Kid’s Make-Believe Boutique
Posted on November 7, 2007 3:29 PM
When I first encountered Baby Bonkie early in my review days my first thought was I wish I could own a children’s boutique just to sell this item.
