Honey Buns Boutique is truly an exceptional shop. Stepping away from frilly dresses (not that we don’t like frilly) and high prices, Honey Buns Boutique brings simple, and affordable, back. The designs were created by a mom with a super handsome 6 month old son so you can rest assure that she knows what moms want in both style and durability.

You will find a variety of cute and sassy shirts, onesies, and accessories for mommies, babies, toddlers, and children up to size 16 at Honey Buns Boutique and best of all, Honey Buns clothes are exclusive – you won’t find their designs anywhere else! How cool is that?

I love the Bubbles mommy tees and the Sugar & Spice tote bag. The simplicity of these designs is refreshing.

Ooh, la la! Take a look at this french vintage print Tralala Rose Lace Swing Jacket Set. How cute is it? Madelyn transformed into a gorgeous princess when I put the Tralala
outfit on her and she knew it. I didn’t take photographs because the
outfit is a little large on her and the photograph wouldn’t do the
outfit justice. Table Five Designs carries this whimsical toddler outfit as well as aparell for infants all the way up to age 6 and for both girls and boys.

Angela Clemente, owner of Table Five Designs, chooses the finest items to feature in her store.You will find all types of goodies including children’s apparel, high-end furniture, designer wall
clocks, wall art, picture frames, silver, drapery, lighting, diaper
bags, burp clothes, bibs, luxury play houses and more.

Oh, you should check out the $36,000 playhouse
while you are there. If you don’t have that much in the bank, I’m sure you can hold off on groceries for 10 or so years. These playhouses are such a great idea for the right family with a large yard.

Personalized embroidered baby & toddler clothes – SewCUTE

February 15, 2008Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Baby & Kids Clothing, PersonalizedAlicia

Sewcute2 If you are a regular reader you know how much I love personalized baby gifts and clothes. Lucie, the founder of SewCUTE personalized baby wear recently sent a personalized tee for Madelyn and it is one of those pieces that made me say "awwww". Even my husband couldn’t hold back. Madelyn’s name is embroidered with Berry Pink embroidery thread and the shirt is a light pink.

SewCUTE personalized clothing is made using only premium,
super soft & comfy, combed cotton and oh my gosh, is it luxurious to the touch. Madelyn ate tomato’s the first time she wore her shirt and needless to say, the shirt enjoyed the tomato’s almost as much as Madelyn. I am very impressed that even after harsh rubbing with stain remover and several washes in both hot and cold water the tee is still soft and held it’s shape perfectly. Madelyn has a larger than average head so I really appreciate that this tee has a stretchable collar. The big head is from Tim’s side of the family! 🙂 SewCUTE designs are available for babies and toddlers ages 0-24 months.

I would love to see Madelyn in one of SewCUTE’s Personalized Sport Baby Sets and/or the Personalized Classic Hoodie Set before she is too big. They are too cute! No pun intended. 🙂

The SewCUTE website is very easy to browse and I noticed that on every individual product page there is sizing information and care instructions for that product. I, like most online shoppers don’t want to dig through the depths of a website to find out what size Madelyn or Sebastian would fit in and if a piece is machine washable or not. Speaking of.. SewCUTE’s pieces are machine washable.

Let me know what you buy!

Yoplait Kids

February 12, 2008Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Food and DrinkAlicia

Madelyn’s love for yogurt was about as great as her love of going to bed at night.. non existent. That changed when we received the new Yoplait Kids to try. I think the character branded packaging sparked her interest because she actually picked up the bottle and drank from it. She drank several sips the first time she picked up the bottle and I thought surely she was going to decorate the table with the yogurt she had just drank, but instead she swallowed it! That was something for the baby book.

Ever since introducing juice (seriously diluted but still a big mistake) to Madelyn’s ‘diet’, she hasn’t been drinking enough milk and may not been getting the calcium she needs. Now that she eats Yoplait Kids I feel confident that she is getting the calcium she needs. The nutritional benefits don’t stop there. Here is a brief run down of the benefits of Yoplait Kids:

naturally-sourced DHA – supports healthy brain growth
a good source of vitamins A & D
live and active cultures – help break down
lactose making yogurt a great way for kids who are lactose intolerant to enjoy
dairy
no artificial sweeteners or flavors – what a novel idea!

The natural sugar content makes for a yummy flavor and the consistency of the cupped yogurt (not the drink) is perfect for new eaters as the yogurt won’t slip off the spoon easily. I really appreciate the smaller than average bottle and cup size so all of the yogurt can eaten leaving none to waste.

Most toddlers don’t enjoy yogurt with chunks of fruit in it so this is a great alternative to the chunky yogurts that older children might enjoy. However, I do hope that Yoplait Kids will soon add a ‘chunky’ yogurt cup for the older kids to enjoy and maybe they will consider adding an organic version to the Yoplait Kids line.

Zuma highchair review

February 11, 2008Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Feeding - baby & kidsAlicia

Believe it or not some parents don’t want a highchair with teddy bears, plaid or ruffly padding. But.. they do want their child to be comfortable in a chair that works with their decor. So many times I’ve heard moms say ‘just because I have children shouldn’t mean I have to give up my sense of style whether it be in my closet or kitchen’. The new Mhome Zuma highchair from Inglesina solves this issue.. at least in the kitchen.

The Zuma’s 8 position adjustable height from 54-80cm is easy to use and allows baby to sit high or low. Madelyn can sit right up to the table in this highchair or very high so she can watch me cook while strapped in her highchair. The 5 point harness is easy to clip and take off to run through the wash. I can’t stand it when I can’t get the darn straps through the holes so I can wash them. They get so messy! The seat has three reclining positions; fully upright sitting, slightly reclined for smaller babies, and the seat will recline to a very comfortable position for sleeping babies.

The Zuma’s clean lines and solid colors give the Zuma a sleek, modern look that will match most any decor. Available in four colors I’m sure you will find one that matches your kitchen decor. The GR5 graphite Zuma looks great in our kitchen with stainless steel appliances and black granite counter tops.
