These shoes are made of 100% soft leather. They allow babies feet to flex naturally, absorb sweat and have no restrictions on movement. The easy fit design makes putting these shoes on a snap! They are made to fit babies feet fabulously, with a narrower heel and wider foot area. There are no laces (only elastics and Velcro) and the heel part stretches to make it easier to put on. The non-slip rubber sole is very thin so babies can still feel the contours of the ground, but it is strong enough that it provides non-slip action for babies starting to walk.

Now that my baby is almost walking I will be hopping over to the nearest retailer and picking her up a very FABULOUS pair of shoes. I highly reccommend you all check them out as well.

If your kids are anything like mine then the youngest is always trying to keep up with the older one. All they want to do is play with the BIG kid toys.

Karz allows your little ones to play cars with the big kids. It’s 360 degrees of pure fun. Instead of 4 wheels these cars contain a roly-poly ball that allows them to move in any direction. This makes wheelin’ extra easy. The shape of Karz is nice and round and are perfectly sized for little hands to grasp.

These Karz are so much fun! Big kids love them to, making it a great toy that fosters joint play and sharing. Click here to purchase them and let the fun begin!

Glad to be back,

If you are anything like me then you will appreciate this product. Anything that lends support and smooths is my best friend.

Yummie Tummie was created by a woman for women. It looks beautiful worn alone or can be used under anything. It doesn’t compress the chest or ride up. It provides support to your core which allows you to stand up taller and and look better. (It is available in both regular and long length)

From the bust up and the hips down it is your favorite, staple, t-shirt. The waist though has a firm control panel which smooths the stomach and hips making you feel like you just lost inches and pounds instantly. (It?’s important you choose a size that?’s not too tight so that the Yummie Tummie fits you properly and comfortably. If your in between sizes it’s best to go a size up)

This is a great product for everyone…

I just want to mention one of my friend’s concerns with it. The shirt is very fitted which is why it smooths and slims. However, as a nursing mother she found it to tight to pull up or down for feedings. She said that forcing it made the bottom stretch. Therefore, if you are nursing be sure to order the nursing Yummie Tummie tank that is in this year’s spring line and not one of the regular tanks.

*GIVEAWAY*

I had the chance to review this product personally. However, a close friend of mine has one, and so I want to share this opportunity with one of my dedicated readers instead.

I have a $100 gift certificate for Yummie Tummie. If you would like a chance to win leave a comment(tell me anything). On May 10th (mother’s day) I will use a randomizer to choose a winner and then email the winner the certificate. Feel free to comment/enter often and tell all your friends.

Good Luck,

It always bothered me that I would have to leave a room to nurse. Especially in my own home…why should I be locked in a room because I was feeding a baby?!

I tried blankets to cover, but they were either to small or my babies always pulled them off.

With this baby I finally bought a Bebe Au Lait Hooter Hider. I LOVE this product. It stays put, covers everything and makes me feel comfortable feeding anywhere. It has little design features that make it even more spectacular. There is a plastic hoop in the top that allows air in and lets you see your baby while you feed. The corner has a small towel sewn in for those spit ups and drools that happen. It also comes in a bunch of beautiful designs for every mothers taste.

SO check them out if you are nursing and need a fashionable way to cover up. (They also make great gifts for new moms). Check them all out at www.bebeaulait.com

CRAYONS and COLORING BOOKS are a great gift for kids of any age. It’s one of my go to gifts for kids turning two. I have found that my children are happy coloring for hours. There have been many days where I cover a wall with paper and let them go nuts. By the end of the day I have a fantastic piece of art work and a whole day of artful fun. So set your kid up at the table with a coloring book of his or her favorite characters, or get some large packing paper and let them create something all by themselves.

(click the above pictures to order)

There are many types of crayons available. I have found that the triangular shaped or big ones are easiest to hold. The smaller ones tend to break easier because kids usually press pretty hard. So try to stick to thicker ones in the beginning.

Another great idea is to get the book Harold and the Purple Crayon.You can read this classic with your kids and then have them create an adventure of their own.

Happy coloring,

xoxo

Uneaks is a running shoe for kids with clear panels on the side so that you can see your socks through them. This allows kids to change the look and color of their shoes with every outfit you wear. According to reviews they are very comfortable ( which in my books is number one for kids shoes. Growing feet need to be taken care of). They are also very reasonably priced. Check them out at the Uneaks website or read the review at http://www.lillepunkin.com/2008/12/save-30-on-uneaks.html. There is also a coupon code on the review to save 30%.

They also have really, really cute socks that will make the shoes look adorable. Check them out as well.

Enjoy!

The Babycook (BPA-Free) is an all in one product that steams veggies, fruits and even meat. It then blends it in the same container to a nice soft baby puree. The Babycook can also reheat and defrost meals so you can make enough for several days at once. You can also keep it sterilized for the baby and not worry about possible allergens coming in contact with it. The Babycook includes a 2.5 cup plastic bowl, cooking basket, spatula, and recipe booklet.

This product is great and I plan on looking into getting one in a few months when my daughter starts food. Check it out at giggle.com by clicking on the picture or link above.

Happy cooking,

I love that they are small enough to keep on my baby during and after feedings so that spit up doesn’t mean a new pair of clothes. They are very soft and wash really well.

The price is also a big seller. For only $3.49 (on CVS.com) and available in the thousands CVS stores across the nation this is a fabulous deal! I mean with all the amazing products out for babies today and the $1000′s of dollars being spent on baby clothes alone it’s really nice to find a product that it reasonably priced, cute to look at, and will protect your daughter’s Gucci sleeper (j/k…or not).

Check them out and enjoy!
