Pearls for your Princess

Every baby needs a little elegance to finish a special outfit, right?  I think so.  I love this Genuine Freshwater Handknotted Pearl Baby Bracelet from Princess Pearls. With several sizes to choose from, you will find one that is just the right size for your baby or toddler. These bracelets are handstrung and knotted and each baby bracelet is finished off with a beautiful Sterling Silver filigree clasp.

Madelyn (now 6 months) loves to play with her pearl bracelet while wearing it.

I think all baby girls should have a pearl bracelet and don’t forget yourself, moms. You can choose a matching "mom" bracelet from Princess Pearls!

Princess Pearls baby bracelets are a great holiday gift idea!

Baby Legs

These are a baby and mom must have!  There are so many uses for these for babies, kids and parents that I can honestly say that I recommend that every parent get at least one pair for everyone in the family… and I’m not getting paid to say that!

POTTY TRAINING: BabyLegs were invented by a mom who wanted a way to keep her daughter’s legs warm, without having to wear pants, while was going through the ever trying potty training period. We all know that while  potty training, it can be quite a hassle to pull pants down, then up, then down, then up, then they get peed on sometime during all of that pulling up and down, right?  That’s my experience anyway. Putting BabyLegs on your potty training toddler solves that problem. Then she doesn’t have any pants to pull down, just a pull up! How exciting!!

DIAPER CHANGING: It has been really cold here lately and I feel terrible if I have unzip or unbutton her long onesie to change her diaper so I have been using BabyLegs and I love them. They really do make life a little easier!

JUST TO LOOK SUPER COOL: Sebastian, my 7 year old, loves to wear his flame BabyLegs (on his arms) to school. The kids love them! I wish I could order a pair for all the kids in his class.

KEEP WARM: Besides wearing his flame BabyLegs to school, Sebastian also wears them to bed. He has 2 pairs, so he wears one pair on his arms and the other on his legs. Yes, I keep the house freezing in the cold months. I have a problem paying $600 for a heating bill! BabyLegs have saved our day!  I actually put a pair of BabyLegs on my arms the other day and found that they fit very well and kept me warm too! Now I can lower the thermostat even more!   Ha Ha!

It’s My Binky – personalized pacifiers

What’s something that almost every baby uses but parents don’t have many choices on color or style.. until now?  Pacifiers!

We buy the latest and greatest clothes and toys for our babies and kids, why not show off your child’s style (ok, your style) with a personalized pacifier?

It’s My Binky will personalize any size or style (newborn, orthodontic, or cherry) pacifier with your child’s name, nickname or saying on it. I absolutely LOVE the princess pacifier.
Madelyn’s nickname is princess so this pacifier fits her perfectly. Priced at only $5-$7 each, these are a steal! Each pacifier comes beautifully packaged and includes a protective pacifier cap to keep in clean while traveling or in your diaper bag.


It’s My Binky isn’t kidding around..for those of you who have $17,000 to spend on a pacifier, why not buy an It’s My Binky Solid White Gold with 278 Diamonds pacifier?! 🙂 This beautiful pacifier is not to be used though as is poses a choking
hazard.

Reasons you should by an It’s My Binky pacifier:

1. If your child attends day care, you can rest assured that her play mate won’t end up with her pacifier because her pacifier will have her name on it!  Have I failed to mention lately that I am a germaphone according to Sebastian, my 7 year old son?

2. You can choose the color and style to match your baby’s personality and outfit for the day!

3. You can personalize it with your baby’s name or saying.

My NapPak

This is one of my all time favorites. I purchased a NapPak for Sebastian 3 years ago and he can still use it today. He is now 7. The NapPak is an all-in-one pillow, comforter and attached fleece
                          blanket
that can be used as a school nap mat, at slubmer parties, and at Grandma’s house.

The NapPak has a super soft pillow and with designs for both girls and boys, kids are sure to love their NapPak for years.. just like Sebastian has.

NapPaks can be monogrammed with your child’s name. The monogramming is done is really cute fonts that kids love.

When Sebastian started Pre-K (years old) I was nervous that he wouldn’t be able to roll up his NapPak by himself which is required by the teachers, but he could! His friends in class loved his NapPak. It is so much better than those plastic mats the school supplies or that you buy at Target. The NapPak rolls up and is secured with Velco closures. It even has a handle for easy carrying!

The NapPak is machine washable and can be dried!

Lullabub crib rocker

The Lullabub is a remote controlled, automatic crib rocker for babies.. and their parents. No, you can’t get in the crib with your baby but you will get more rest and more done in general when you have a Lullabub.

The “Lullabub” consists of four décor designed modules, which are simply placed under each leg of a cot.

The Lullabub simulates four relaxing motions including the mother’s womb, mother’s heartbeat, drive in the car, or a boat on the water. Each motion is very soothing. When I put Madelyn’s Lullabub on the "car" setting and cover her with her blanket, she rolls her eyes in the back of her head and lulls off to sleep.

Tim, my husband, loves the Lullabub as much as I do for reasons that I wouldn’t have thought of… the Lullabub raises the height of the crib just enough to make it easier to reach baby without bending over if you are on the taller side. We both love the remote control activation which makes it easy for us to start the Lullabub when Madelyn gets fussy without her seeing us. The remote control can be attached to the wall for easy access.

I was amazed at how easy the Lullabub was to install. We have a standard American crib for Madelyn and all I had to do was hold the crib up, one side at a time, so I could place each Lullabub piece under a leg.

Our Nanny was thrilled when she gently leaned on the crib one day and it rocked! Not only does the Lullabub have pre-set automatic settings but you can rock it yourself with the touch of a finger. Madelyn loves it when we rock her in her crib!

The Lullabub uses a standard outlet and the remote control uses AA batteries.

Besides all of the above great features of the Lullabub.. I LOVE the fact that it doesn’t make ANY noise! Really!!
