Teddy Bear of the Month Club

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Age 7-10, Beauty & Skin Care, Store Reviews,

My son, Sebastian, loves teddy bears. He would love to get a new teddy bear every month. Part of growing up is having stuffed animals that you can snuggle with and take anywhere and having a choice of which teddy bear you take with you to Grandma’s house is even better! Now kids can get a new teddy bear every month! What a great idea.

The teddy bears that are part of the Teddy Bear of the Month club are tested by "teddy bear experts" which are around the age of 11. What a cool job!  The teddy bears are beautifully-crafted, made with premium materials
and have been carefully chosen for their cuteness, friendliness, and
extreme hug-ability.  Only the best teddy bears are accepted into the Teddy Bear of the Month program. Parents (or the gift giver) can choose to purchase a 3 month, 6 month, 1 year plan, or a Teddy Bear of the Season. The gift giver can also choose which month to start the subscription.

Teddy Bear Facts:
The teddy bears are all between 12" and 15".
Only the best teddy bears are accepted into the program.
Each month a new seasonally themed teddy bear is delivered to your door.
Each teddy bear arrives with care and feeding instructions.

With the prices being extremely affordable, I think this is an awesome holiday gift idea!

Tiny Tiara

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, ,

Tinytiara
Add a touch of whimsy to your baby’s nursery with a beautiful 3 inch tall ‘tiny tiara’ from TinyTiara.com.

I love Madelyn’s pink tiara. It arrived beautifully displayed on a satin pillow inside an acrylic cube.  It adds such a cute, whimsical touch to her nursery. Everyone that visits Madelyn’s nursery notices her tiara and comments on how beautiful it is.

The tiny tiara is approximately 3 inches tall. The tiny tiara is not a toy as it is made from fragile glass. Each piece is unique and makes the perfect gift for the special little princess in your life. Tiny Tiara hasn’t forgotten about the boys! The prince in your life can have his very own "Charming Crown" to display in his nursery.

These are a great, affordable gift for the babies in your life.

A Tiny Tiara is a great gift for expecting moms! With pink, blue, and clear color choices, these make a great gift for expecting parents who know or who don’t know if they are having a baby boy or girl.  Choose a clear tiara for those who have chosen not to find out the sex of their baby.

Baby headbands and hairclips

Age 0-1 year, Baby & Kids Clothing, ,

I never thought I would be one to put a headband on my hairless daughter, Madelyn. In fact, just because my mother in law expects it… I didn’t want to do it! I’m a rebel I guess.

That all changed when I put this super cute pink headband from Lil’ Sugarplum on Madelyn’s tiny little head for the first time. My reaction was a little extreme. I couldn’t stop saying "oh my gosh! she’s so cute!" and of course, my husband agreed.

I now believe that headbands are the saving grace for hairless baby girls like Madelyn. Lil’ Sugarplum headbands are the perfect addition to the every day outfit or to a church ensemble.

There are several styles to choose from. If you are a more simplistic parent, you may appreciate the Lil Tuxedo Bows hairclips and for the parent that enjoys a more fancy look, you will like the Princess Headband which is what Madelyn has on in the picture above. Lil’ Sugarplum hairclips even stay put in Madelyn’s "barely there" hair!

Homemade Baby – Organic Baby Food

Age 0-1 year, Feeding - baby & kids, , , ,

Parents are looking more into healthy, organic, chemical free food than ever these days. It is just a fact that the ‘extras’ simply aren’t needed, but the large baby food companies can’t seem to get away from them.

Homemade Baby gives parents an option with their certified organic and kosher baby food.  Hand cooked, their stage 1 food is super smooth for the beginner, their stage 2 food is a little mushier  for older babies and stage 3 is "chunkified" (as Sebastian puts it) for experienced babies.

Homemade Baby’s baby food arrives at your doorstep, nice and cold, ready to put in the fridge. There are clear instructions on how long you can have one bowl of food open in the fridge and which foods are best heated or eaten cool. The nutrition facts and ingredients are stated on the packaging but you will take one look at the baby food and know it is good for your baby.

Do you travel alot?  Homemade Baby’s baby food is great for those who make their own baby food but are traveling and won’t have access to the tools they need to make it while away.

Homemade Baby even has a ‘Yummy Tummy Club’ that you can join and have access to "sneak  peaks" of new flavors,  and a customized bundle of baby food is delivered to your door every week for one month, three months or for six months. No more worrying about running out of baby food!!

When you visit the Homemade Baby website you will be able to quickly find which type of food (so smooth, goody  mushy, or kinda chunky) is best for your baby. Then you choose the ‘flavors’ that you want based on the texture your baby is ready for.

Madelyn is new to the whole baby food world, so she is on stage 1 food and LOVES her Homemade Baby Just Sweet Potatoes! Iam afraid she might turn orange. If she does, I promise I will post a photograph of the newly orange Madelyn here!
