This story comes from a member of my Facebook group…thanks Tania.
I got one of the best gifts today♥This is my first Mother’s Day, I am a Senior in College and am 21 years old. My son is was 5 months old on the 7th, and for Mother’s Day he rolled over today for the first time! I was amazing to see him with one of his firsts. It put the biggest smile on my face and made my 1st Mother’s Day wonderful! I will always remember he rolled over for the first time on Mother’s Day!
This shows that sometimes all you need to feel Fabulous is something small and wonderful to happen. Wishing Tania much more joy from her child and many more wonderful mother’s days.
Feel free to share your mother’s day stories with me at fabulousmommy@gmail.com to be posted on the blog as well.

Here’s a little tip that I figured out yesterday.
Little girls in little dresses can be so very cute, but at the park in the summer the swings and slides can get extremely hot by the middle of the day. So I have started carrying around a pair of leggings for my daughter. I don’t make her wear them all day because it’s too hot but slip them on at the park. This way when she is crawling up the slide or sitting in the swing her little legs don’t get burned if her dress goes up.
Check out The Children’s Place for an array of leggings in many colors and prints (and they are mostly on sale now)

So today I stumbled across this Fabulous website. It has some of the cutest baby products that I have seen in a long time.
The site is called Jaminga.
For all those readers out there with a punk side you will love this site as well. They have a whole section of Punk Baby clothes and then they also have a Rock Baby section for those parents who still like to rock and roll.
My favorite thing of all though is the adorable leg warmers. I think that the idea of a little toddler toddling around in leg warmers is the cutest thing ever. I also really like the package of mismatched socks. It is a pack of 10 mismatched socks to make dressing “cool” super easy…and best of all there is no need to match socks in the wash!
Here are a few of my favorite products from the website but I highly recommend checking this it out. Click here to be taken there. Bonus…for the most part prices are very reasonable.
tattoo shoes
mismatch socks 
punk girl reversible dress 
baby leg warmers (different patterns available) 
robeez style shoes for the punkiest girl 
for even the littlest punk
and of course for the true punk at heart this company even makes custom punk bedding that is lined with super soft material to keep baby extra comfortable. I have only pictured one but check out the website for more.
I hope you all love this website as much as I do and that it satisfies the punk in everyone!

Little shoes on little feet can be one of the most adorable things in the world. However, it is not always best for baby to be wearing shoes, and in the winter it can be extremely frustrating to put them inside a snow suit. So how can you solve this dilemma?? Introducing Johnny and Jenny socks (there are other names for them as well). These Fabulous socks look like shoes without all the inconvenience of actually putting shoes on. Also, they will probably fit longer then a shoe because of the stretch of the fabric.
There are so many choices for these socks. Below I have put a few of my favorites. Click on any picture to be redirected to the website. Remember that cute and practical are not two different things!
I love this idea because I believe that until a child is ready to walk it is best to let the feet develop naturally without being bound by shoes. Even on new walkers, these are great with little dresses for running around the house. Check them out because the are a FABULOUS find.

This week’s movie of the week is a natural progression from the last. However, although I recommend “The Sound of Music” for everyone, I suggest using caution when showing “The Wizard of Oz” to very young children. The witch can be scary and the flying monkeys gave my friend the creeps. Yet, if your children are old enough or that then this movie is a classic and a must see!
I think because this was one of my mother’s all time favorite movies, my sibling and I grew up watching it. It teaches the classic lesson that we all possess great things inside us if we just can bring it out. The music is fantastic and the scenes are absolutely Fabulous. Judy Garland is an amazing actress and the rest of the characters are sure to become some of your children’s favorites as the years go on. So rent it today at Netflix.com
or buy this classic.
I hope you enjoy it like I have.

So I have been on hiatus with the all the craziness that the holidays bring (as well as the lack of opportunity and access to an internet connection) but now I am back so let’s start off with a bang!
I just spent the past ten days at my in-laws and it was a full house! Sometimes finding enough beds can be a real problem. Things only get more complicated when you can’t bring your baby’s crib with you. I have a pack-and-play at my in-laws but I find my daughter hates the mattress. Also, if you don’t have one they can be quite bulky to bring along (as compact as they are). So I have been looking for altenatives. Then I was reading “American Baby” this month…one of my favorite magazines…and I happened to come accross these two Fabulous products.
BTVco’s AirCrib is a lightweight, portable crib. It has a self inflating mattress and the rest inflates with an easy to use hand pump. This wonderful sleeping device can be used well into the toddler years. The mattress keeps children comfortably raised off the ground. You can use it in hotels, at the beach, at the park, or any where else that you need an extra bed. The best thing is it is really compact so you can keep in the car for whenever you might need it or pack it easily in a suitcase. It only weights six pounds so it won’t take up too much of your weight allowance if you are flying and it isn’t too heavy to carry around.
The second Fabulous alternative is Korbie’s All-in-One Baby Bag. This one goes from a diaper bag, to a change table, to a bassinet. It is great for those all day excursions when baby needs a nap on the go. This is an all around great product because of the brilliant design. It has an outside pocket that is insulated for bottles. The inner pockets have ample room for diapers and changes of clothes. Best of all is the pop up bed/changing table. It has a mesh sunshade for napping on the beach or park and can also be used indoors, let’s say…at grandma’s place. All the material is easily cleaned with a simple wiping and it comes in three fun colors. The bed is also easily detachable for those days when you don’t think you’ll be needing it. The key words for this bag are easy and multi functional. It is a Fabulous idea so check it out!
I hope these can solve your travel sleeping woes.

I was shocked to find out that my husband has never seen “The Sound of Music“. To me this is one of the all time greatest movies around (for children and parents). I remember so many nights at home watching this and singing along. I mean how can anything with Julie Andrews not be fantastic?! She is one of the most amazing actresses (in my mind) of all time. Besides, who doesn’t know the song “Doh a Deer…”??
Therefore, this week’s movie suggestion is of course “The Sound of Music“. There is romance and suspense; and of course the music is the best part.Kids will be singing along and singing the songs for days to come. There is nothing better then a movie that can span generations and be loved by all. I highly recommend buying or renting this classic today!
Rent it today at Netflix.com.
Enjoy
xoxo
