My toddler daughter is very into music these days, and I am constantly on the look for new CDs with different songs that we haven’t heard over and over again.  When I came across http://www.namelyyoursmusic.com/,  I was very excited to find that they actually had her somewhat unique name!  So, I ordered the “You are [...]

I once read that if you want to come up with an idea for a new business, you should make a list of all of the things that annoy and bother you, and then create a product or service that fixes one of those things.  It’s for that reason that I love products that were [...]

When my oldest child was around 18 months, she went on a high chair ban.  She refused to sit in it, refused to eat in it, and spent her time in it trying to escape.  I was at a loss for what to do.  Obviously, she was too small for a big chair and I [...]

You may have seen the commercial structured baby carriers at any local baby shop or mass merchandiser.  They are functional and reasonably priced, but lack customization, beauty, and sometimes comfort.  One of my favorite structured baby carriers, sold online at http://www.ecobabies.com/, is called the bECO Baby Carrier.
The bECO baby carrier was created by a very active [...]

My daughter has very small feet, and some of the local mall shops actually didn’t stock her size - especially for winter boots last year.  My search for age and activity appropriate shoes brought me to find See Kai Run Shoes. These shoes, in my opinion, are the best shoes for toddlers!

When my daughter was born, she was premature, and therefore enjoyed being held closely.  I had seen a selection of baby carriers at my local baby boutique, so I went in and purchased a sling, which could be worn over one shoulder, and allowed her to sleep in almost a cocoon position, while I was [...]

After the birth of my second child, I was searching for a neat piece of jewelry that I could add both kids’ names to, as well as birth dates.  I wanted something professional and simple looking, so that I could wear it to work, and I wanted something fashionable.  Believe me,  I searched a lot [...]

I know that there are quite a few readers on here who are expecting their first babies, and are wondering what products they should buy and register for. I highly recommend the Baby Bargains book by Denise and Alan Fields.  A friend of mine recommended this book to me when I was pregnant with my first [...]

Taking my daughter for her first haircut was extremely difficult for the whole family.  I guess there is something about a stranger pointing scissors towards your head that makes it scary.  However, now that she had gone through this a few times, she loves Snip-Its!  Created by a mom, Snip-Its really knows what it is [...]

The time will come when you are just running out to the store for something fast, and you will gaze hatefully at your large diaper bag, wishing that you had something smaller, lighter and easier to just grab and run out the door. The my royal heinie diaper purse was created for exactly that [...]

I love bags…small bags, big bags, diaper bags, leather bags, canvas bags, etc. I just love bags! I have to say that I’ve been through a few (or so) since having my son 20 months ago. My favorite has definitely been the Skip Hop Dash. It starts out being one of the lightest diaper bags, [...]
