Lands’ End Baby: $12.99 and up

LandsendbabyLands’ End is known for making durable, comfortable clothes and they didn’t leave the little one’s out. Little did I know, they have a large line of girls and boys baby clothes and accessories to fit ages 0-24 months. The pictures to the left are just a small sampling of the Lands’ End baby line.  Offering everything from ‘footy pajamas’ to knit sweaters their pieces are sure to give your baby a classic, timeless look all the while keeping them comfortable and cozy in the soft materials.

Pieces like the Woven Jumper Madelyn is wearing to the left can be worn alone for a casual look or with co-ordinating onesies, tights, and shoes for a more dressy look.

Machine washable, this Woven Dress quickly became one of my favorite pieces in Madelyn’s wardrobe.  The Mary Janes are crafted with genuine suede leather uppers, breathable leather linings and soft suede outsoles and Madelyn is happy wearing them for hours. I was bummed when the shoes got dirty while we were at a park recently but low and behold, a little wiping got the dirt right off. Priced at just $14.50, Lands’ End’s Mary Janes are a steal.

Starbunz all-in-one cloth diapers: $32

BellakidscheetaIf you want to ensure that your baby is going to be the center of attention at your next play date or family reunion, you need to wrap her little booty up in a Starbunz cloth diaper.  The cheetah design is part of a super cute line of animal face diaper covers and all-in-one’s each of which sport a cute, fuzzy animal face like a cheetah, pig, tiger, or duck.   Madelyn loves tugging on the cheetah’s ears. 

Madelyn usually wears chlorine free disposable diapers and when I put the Starbunz cheetah all-in-one on her, she knew something was different.  After about 5 minutes of tugging on the cheetah’s ears, and turning in circles thinking she would see the entire diaper she started to show off (see video below).  The elastic legs and waist look so much more comfortable than the plastic of the disposable diapers and the 3 size adjustable snap setting is a great feature.  Starbunz diapers are very soft and have a nighttime rating of 12 hours and a daytime rating of 5 hours.

Available in small, medium, large, and x-large you will find a size to fit your new baby, chubby baby, or toddler.

Child ID Kits & Safety Products

Chickandcubs_braceletYour child is the most precious thing in the world to you right?  Do you have a child ID kit for each of your children in case of emergency?  Studies show that over 80% of parents don’t have any official form of identification for their children.  I had a hard time believing that to be true but when I questioned several of my ‘mom friends’ I found the percentage to be more like 90%.   

Unfortunately, a lot of parents aren’t aware that child ID kits, and other child safety products are easy to purchase online at stores like ChicksAndCubs.com.   Please help spread the word to your mom friends!

Chicks and Cubs offers a wide range of child safety products including ID bracelets like the blue one you see here, car seat ID cards, and everyday ‘carryable’ ID cards. These are just a few of the child safety products available through Chicks and Cubs. 

Chicks and Cubs child safety products are affordable, durable, and best of all easy to ‘set up’ and use.   We had an eight year old test the bracelet and he found it to be very comfortable.  The bracelet is a great safety product to put on your child when going to the mall, or airport for example and ALL parents should have a copy of their child’s ID in their car, purse, and diaper bag.

Bright and Beyond Idea Cards

BrightandbeyondThese are the best idea since Goldfish.. the snack kids love! 

Like a lot of parents, I sometimes feel like I’m not interacting enough with Madelyn (18 months).   I just don’t know what to do.  I can only sit on the floor and make ‘oink oink’ sounds so long before I get bored.  Bright and Beyond Idea Cards have helped me come up with things to do with Madelyn and I referred to them at least two or three times a day for the last week.
One of my favorite idea cards is the masking tape card. This card explains how we can use masking tape on our floor to make fences and race tracks and even inspired me to make a masking tape computer on our kitchen floor! That was fun. 

These idea cards make learning fun and interactive for kids of all ages. Bright and Beyond Idea Cards are sold in decks for age ranges 0 to 9 with age appropriate activities and challenges in each deck.
