I hated having to go to the mall to pick out and order Sebastian’s birth announcements from Papyrus.  I am all about convenience now and Internet shopping is about as convenient as it gets. Besides being able to buy clothes, electronics, books, etc, you can also design and order birth announcements on the Internet.

Announcements Galore, created by a mom, offers a beautiful selection of
4×6 photo announcements for just about any occasion including birth, graduation, weddings, and invitations.  Dawn started the business to provide high quality photo announcements at reasonable prices.

The announcements are printed on high quality photo paper and can be customized with the design, font and text of your choice.

Downtime Sleepy Hat

"Holy Cow!! That is so cute!"..is along the lines of what I said when I first saw this hat.  It really is such a cute hat and like no other I’ve seen on the market.

The Downtime Sleepy Hat is a
unique, fold-down sleep hat/mask that creates a
sleep-inducing environment for your baby.  It blocks out
visual stimulation to help babies fall asleep quickly and gently when they
otherwise just will not close their eyes.
      

I’ve got a funny story to tell you..  and it’s absolutely true. When we go on road trips, Sebastian has always put his silky full sized pillow over his face in order to calm down and fall asleep in the car. He’s done this since he was about three. However, I’m sure if he had the thought process and coordination to do this before he was three, he would have.  Children are naturally inclined to cover themselves to block out light and sounds when they are tired. That’s why baby’s tend to burrow into mom or dad’s shoulder or chest when tired.

Designed with safety in mind…the Downtime Sleep Hat is completely breathable, super soft, and very light-weight so that you can feel good about putting it over baby’s delicate
skin and eyes.

Adults have used eye masks for years to cover their eyes, now we provide the same soothing comfort for our baby!

Available in a few colors and in sizes 3-9 and 9-18 months.

Cute and functional, the Downtime Sleep Hat is a great gift idea for the new baby in your life.

Skip Hop Toolbox – a mommy must have

Diaper Bags, Fun stuff for parents, Gadgets, Nursery & Room Decor, Organization, , , ,

Good1_2What do parents need/use every day or pretty often?  Diapers, wipes, diaper cream, socks, thermometer, baby lotion, and the list goes on. That list is some of what is easily stored in the SKIP HOP Toolbox.  When we hired our nanny, I think she was confused as to why we don’t have one  place in the house where we change Madelyn’s diapers.  I explained to her that because our house is multi leveled and it’s not always convenient to  go upstairs or down stairs when Madelyn needs changing, we just have diapers and wipes scattered through out the house.   I was absolutely thrilled when I received the SKIP HOP Toolbox for review.  I filled the Toolbox up right away and have to say that I am very impressed with the amount of ‘stuff’ the Toolbox holds.

What is most valuable to me about the Toolbox is that I no longer have to search the bathroom cabinets, and drawers, and closets for Tylenol, nail clippers and other things that we don’t use everyday but often enough. These items are now stored in our SKIP HOP Toolbox.

This is a great gift for a baby shower or new mom. The SKIP HOP Toolbox is available in three colors, is very durable, and wipes clean with a cloth.

I found that if I stack several diapers on one side of the caddy then I can fit a full size diaper wipe box on the other side!  This is a mommy must have!

Features:

  • Holds up to 12 diapers.
  • Two drawers on the bottom that pull both ways for extra storage.
  • Two detachable side pockets.
  • Handle for easy carrying.

Munchkin Inflatable Bathtub

Bathtub
Madelyn loves this bathtub almost as much as I do. For the first few months after she was born I used one of those typical blue hard plastic bathtubs. Then Madelyn started to want to sit up all the time and it was getting dangerous in that buthtub, so I went to Target on a search for the perfect bathtub and I found one! It’s the Munchkin Inflatable Bathtub. It takes just a few minutes to inflate and little did I know it quacks!  At first Madelyn was scared of the quacking sound, but once she heard it a few times, she started to laugh at it.
There is a white hot safety disc that reveals the word "hot" when the bath water is too hot and a headrest for easy hair washing.  The no slip surface eases my mind when Madelyn tries to move around a lot or stand up while in the bathtub.
