A Book for Baby

My dad gave this book to us when my son was almost 2 years old. It had been a favorite of his when he was a little boy. I know. It’s very impressive how much my dad remembers from his childhood. I went to the same summer camp he did when he was a kid, [...]

Pippalily Baby Slings

Pippalily baby slings are the fashionable creations of Canadian mom Victoria Turner. I must admit I was a Baby Bjorn wearer myself. I tried a sling with my son, but I felt like I was trying to stuff him into a tiny no-access pouch under my armpit. That said, I know that many women swear [...]

Beaba Babycook at Williams Sonoma

I read about the Beaba Babycook on Babyccino a while back, and thought it was a genious gadget. At that time, it was only available in Europe, but now it’s for sale in the US at a mall near you. So what is it? It’s a French baby food maker that steams and then purees [...]

Classic Cruiser Silver Speedster ride-on toy

I’m a longtime babystyle fan. And I love them even more since they donated this very cool Silver Speedster ride-on toy to our preschool’s fundraising auction. I picked it up the Friday night of Super Bowl weekend, when the mall was buzzing with celebrities (or at least those who wanted to look like celebrities) heading [...]

Easter Ties for Your Guys

Normally, I’m not a huge fan of parent-child coordinated outfits. But for Easter brunch, I make an exception. How cute would it be for a family with a bunch of boys to show up with these “Carrots for the Easter Bunny” ties by Me and Matilda? The ties are 100% cotton, machine washable, and come [...]

Kid Size (Plastic-Free) Stainless Silverware

If you’re thinking about replacing your kids’ plates and bowls with the non-plastic variety, you’re probably not feeling too good about all the plastic utensils they’re eating with either. I’ve been trying to transition my 17-month old to regular silverware, but she can’t quite manage the spoons and forks the rest of the family eats [...]

My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow

The My Brest Friend nursing pillow is on my short list of essential products for a new breastfeeding mom. Unfortunately, I didn’t get one of these until my second child. Silly me. I even went to a breastfeeding class when pregnant with my first baby, and the instructor told us that we needed to get [...]

Bumkins Waterproof Bibs

There are three reasons why I need to get some Bumkins Waterproof Bibs. First, my friend Ashleigh has long recommended these as great bibs to take along in your bag because they fold down to practically nothing and they dry super-quick. Next, my daughter is transitioning from the sippy cup, we we could really use [...]

Zaky Infant Pillow

I heard about these “bean bag hands” from a friend a few weeks ago. She had a friend who raved about how they helped her baby sleep. Yes, I had many times with my babies where I would have to sloooowly release my hands from their bodies as I lay them down in the crib, [...]
