Me! Bath

If you want to indulge yourself in some bath and skin care products that look good enough to eat, then get a hold of products by Me! Bath. You definately have to take time out to take care of yourself and put the "no tears" products aside for a while, and Me! Bath are the products to grab up! My favorite is the Shower Sherbet. A sugar based body scrub packaged in what looks like pints of ice cream! Made so you can use it daily, it exfoliates and moisturizes while smelling so yummy! With flavors like Choco-holic, Papaya Nectar and Peaches and Cream, your showers are guaranteed to last a bit longer! If you think the Shower Sherbet sounds yummy, then check out their other products (I really thought it was a scoop of ice cream)!

Make Nursing Fashionable!

Whether you're nursing for the first time, or consider yourself an old pro, you'll want the experience to be a pleasant one. While it can be overwhelming at first, boobie leakage is the last thing you want to happen while you're out and about! Disposable nursing pads are of course easy to find, but as you soon find out, not that attractive when in use! Baby O Really, created by a SAHM, has solved this problem with the most stylish and fashionable nursing pads around. While they're made of the softest materials, the styles to choose from are also fun and flattering. A great gift for the first time mom, or a gift to give yourself, Baby O Really nursing pads are something you'll want to check out. Grab a pair or buy a set, make this time between yourself and baby special (and fashionable)!

Baby O Really has kindly offered free gift packaging and an upgrade to priority mail shipping with code BORFGP when entered into "notes to seller" at checkout.

Make Cleaning Up Fun!

I've debated on how to introduce chores to my toddler without making it seem like it's really a "chore". While there are some tasks he doesn't mind doing, there's a few that I just can't trick him into thinking they're fun! Lucky me - I was introduced to an innovative product for the little ones that make chores more enjoyable! Chore Cards by Rise and Shine Designs have done the dirty work for you! Choose from four sets of cards such as "good morning chores" or "pet care chores" that give your little one a visual on the chores they're responsible for. Printed on heavy duty plastic, each card can be written on with a dry erase marker for more specific tasks and come with "no damage" hooks to be placed where your toddler can easily access them. When each chore is completed, Chore Cards can be flipped over to indicate that task is done! Anything that can help making cleaning up more fun from the start is a great idea to me! Check out Chore Cards and purchase them online.

Something You'll Swaddle!

I'm all about great baby and kids products that are truly great and worth your money! So when I was given blankets by Aden + Anais I was amazed by the great cotton musiln material, and the possibility of multiple uses. These blankets are huge! Not only can you comfortably swaddle your baby, but you can also use them for nursing cover-ups, stroller covers, tummy time lay down blanket, a great summer blanket, and the list goes on! The colors and patterns are chic and modern, and go well with much of the other modern baby accessories that are out there right now. I suggest everyone check out Aden + Anais blankets for themselves!

In Honor of Poop!

I've got a great brand of infant and kids apparel only mommy's and daddy's can appreciate! Prpl Nrpl is apparel with a twist of wit, and I do mean it! Some of their onesies will make you do a double take, but none the less, all their designs and says are true! Shop online for Prpl Nrpl's great tees and they may even throw in some cool stickers with your order!

Wee extra: Win It!

We're Back!

Just a note to let everyone know we're back! Gabriel Aleksandr was born on April 3, and was 8 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 inches long. We are both doing great and adjusting to the schedule! I can't believe I forgot what it was like with Jake (that was only 3 years ago)!
My posts might be a little later than pre-Gabriel, but they will be there!

For the Little Mechanics!

If your toddler is anything like mine, they're constantly wanting to take things apart and see how things go back together (maybe it's a boy thing)! I've had to hide all the screwdrivers in our house, and "forget it" if he sees my husband working on his car, he's wanting to be right next to him to see how everything works!

When I came across cars by Automoblox, I knew this had to be one of the best toys out there for kids like mine! With great futuristic design, Automoblox cars come ready for little hands to assemble, just like the big boys. With changeable parts, and the ability to use your imagination, each Automoblox set comes complete to build your own SUV, Compact Mini and more! And the best part about them is that the major pieces are made of beechwood! They even have add on axle sets to let their imagination run wild while creating their futuristic cars. So toss aside the metal cars for awhile, and let your kids have fun playing with something they've built themselves! Buy online at Baby Willows Petite Boutique.

No More Paper Plates!

Tired of your dinnerware, or lack of it? I've found some cool "retro inspired" plates that will make you think you were eating at grandmas house (but these plates are way cooler)! Made of heavy-duty Melamine, Pop Ink dinnerware is manufactured by the same company that makes them for the US military! All designs are hand applied, but know that they are still dishwasher safe! So now you can have style and eat on it too! I've found a few designs both you and the kiddies can enjoy, but check out their other styles available at French Paper.

Knock Your Socks Off!

Known for their great socks, Trumpette has some shoes coming out that will knock their socks off! Available in April, Andy Tracks have a simple unisex design, but the colors are what will get them noticed. With colors for both girls and boys, your baby will be stylin' - even if they can't walk in them yet!
