Posted on March 27, 2009 3:00 AM
I tried to get my daughter to have a cuddle object–blanket, doll, etc.–so she could feel connected during the day, to ease separation anxiety and beacuse I think it’s cute when little ones have favorite “luvies.” After nearly 3 years I’ve almost given up. Turns out my son is both a blanket baby and thumb [...]

Posted on March 23, 2009 3:20 AM
My husband reads exactly one thing, Golf Digest, unless you count “do it yourself” handbooks. The English teacher in me has tried repeatedly to pique his interest in reading to no avail. So when I received Guide to Pirate Parenting by Tim Bete, this time I didn’t give him a choice. I knew he would [...]

Tutu Legz Craze: What’s All The Fuss About?
Posted on February 21, 2009 3:12 AM
There’s a new favorite in town…Cool Baby Kid is crazy for Tutu Legz! The kind of crazy that makes me want to buy every single pair, give them to every friend with a daughter and open a children’s boutique just to sell them and spread the word. With so many cool picks, it’s sometimes hard [...]
Exergen Temporal Thermometer: Got Fever?
Posted on February 20, 2009 3:26 AM
Maybe it’s a coincidence that I connected with the makers of the Exergen TemporalScanner about a review in the same week my toddler daughter had a febrile seizure making it imperative we treat fevers aggressively. On the other hand, maybe not. Either way I can’t help but recognize the irony in finding an easier and [...]
Baby Love Cards: Look Who’s Turning One!
Posted on February 17, 2009 4:00 AM
Baby Love Cards designed the invitations for my son’s upcoming cow-themed party. But since I’m reluctant to blog my kids’ pictures, you’ll just have to take my word that it is, by far, cuter than any invite I’ve ever designed myself. For special occasions, it’s hard to make cards and invites stand out with services [...]

Posted on February 16, 2009 4:00 AM
Can you imagine sifting through the dryer not worrying about finding a matching pair of socks (especially if you’re little ones are close in age and they all start to run together?)

Unique Baby Gift Idea: Custom Photo Notepad
Posted on February 8, 2009 4:56 AM
A popular question I receive goes something like this, “What do you purchase as a baby gift for a new arrival?” Good question since, over the last year and a half, I’ve reviewed some truly unique baby gifts so it can be hard to choose. Last week when a colleague had a baby girl I [...]

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. The new feature, then, will highlight one product I [...]

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 [...]

There are basically three types of cloth diapers: a prefold diaper for which you need a corresponding cover, a pocket diaper which [...]
Something for Mom: Cashmere Scarf by Nimli

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? The creator of Jazzy Toes thought there was a gap between cute boys clothing and accessories and those for little girls, and Jazzy Toes was the result. These socks look like cowboy boots, sandals, or mary janes with both boys and girls covered, from [...]

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. [...]

Not to be confused with Ferber–a moment of quiet reverence for the man who helped both of my children to sleep through the night– Elaine Farber’s book, Baby Lists, is another must-have in the “preparing for baby” book department. Actually, I think both Ferber and Farber’s books will be the ones I’ll give to expecting [...]

Posted on November 5, 2008 4:13 AM
Peek-a-boo Paperie It’s official. I will never order from the major online photo card sites again.

Bigger Than Your Average Baby Blanket
Posted on September 8, 2008 5:00 AM
Simply Baby BlanketsSwaddling is not only recommended for newborn, it actually helped our son sleep.

So I tried a little harder this time [...]

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.

Bella Wearing Alphabet Moon Toddler Bib Looking for a toddler bib that would withstand the mother of all meals–a PB&J sandwich–and still come out intact, I found this online boutique which is truly unique.

Baby, Toddler and Big Kid Tees: Italian Style {Cool Pick}
Posted on April 29, 2008 9:54 AM
I found this gem, believe it or not, searching for an upcoming trip to Italy! What makes this line unique are the sayings on their signature tees, from “baci e abbracci” (kisses and hugs) to “Ciao!” (Hello/Goodbye). They even feature organic tees with saying like “dolce come il miele” (sweet as honey). From the Italian [...]

Posted on April 21, 2008 9:56 AM

Cool Customized Creations

Hoohobbers: Toddler Towels, Moses Baskets & More… I mention toddler towels because that is what I was looking for when I discovered Hohobbers.

Infant, Toddler and Girls’ Hair Accessories
Posted on April 14, 2008 8:03 AM
Bows and Barettes That Don’t Break the Bank I realize I advocated in an earlier post making your own bows.

Quick Zip Crib Sheets by Clouds & Stars
Posted on March 16, 2008 4:15 AM
It’s time to change the crib sheet…do you untie every single bumper pad tie in order to take the mattress out or struggle to pull the mattress over the bumper pad? I used to hate this chore and would stare down at the sheet and wonder, “Does it really need to be changed?” The Quick [...]

Posted on January 8, 2008 12:16 PM
Ferber Sleep MethodYesterday a colleague greeted me with a hug in the morning because, on my advice, she tried the Ferber method and after one weekend her sleep issues were solved.

Baby Kid’s Make-Believe Boutique
