Blirt Shirts – Bull in a China Shop

Blirtshirts_2
Watch out! Here comes the bull.. I mean Sebastian!
Bull in a China Shop; that about sums up Sebastian. Now he can warn people that he can get a little crazy by simply wearing a very special shirt. A Blirt Shirt.
Blirt Shirts give kids the abililty to relay very important to those around. Messages that should be given, but aren’t usually spoken. (according to Sebastian)

You will love watching family and friends figure out what your child’s Blirt Shirt means. I was surprised that my sister in law figured out Sebastian’s "Bull in a China Shop" shirt right away. My husband on the other hand.. we won’t go there!

Who came up with this idea? The founder of Blirt Shirts is not a native english speaker. She came up with the great idea to design shirts that represent her interpretations of our figures of speech.

Blirt shirts are made of 100% organic cotton, use non-toxic dyes and are water-base silk screened. Blirt Shirts are available in sizes 6 months to 6+ years and in several gender nuetral colors. You can also choose short or long sleeve. Now is the perfect time to get your child a long sleeve Blirt Shirt.

A booklet that accompanies each shirt playfully provides derivations and definitions. The goal of Blirt Shirts is to visually represent figures of speech that embody strong and unique character traits of kids.

Other sayings are: Fish out of Water and No Shrinking Violet.

Are you a Mom on the hunt for things to "glamorize" your baby’s nursery?  I’ve got the product for you! 

La Baby Couture’s Wipie Couture TM Nursery Wipe Cases are beautifully made with the most stylish of fabrics. Speaking of.. there are currently 9 fabric designs to choose from.

La Baby Couture also sells a Wipie Couture TM Travel Baby Wipe Case that you can take anywhere. The travel size is also available in several fabric designs.

These are about the most plush nursery wipe cases I have come across. You can find handmade baby wipe cases like these but La Baby Couture’s baby wipe cases have a wonderful softness to them that adds an extra touch.

The fabric is durable which my son, Sebastian, loves to test for me. He yanks and throws things (sorry, Silvana) for my reviews and we found that La Baby Couture’s baby wipe case is VERY durable.

Couture isn’t just for girls you know!  Let your baby boy in on the couture and choose from fabric designs like the Jungle or Cowboy themes.

Diaper Baggies

Horizontal_2
Diaper Baggies are a wonderful thing. There have been two times in the last few months (before I got diaper baggies) that I could have really used these. One time was when we were arriving at a restaurant and Madelyn pooped right when we pulled into the parking lot. The only garbage can available at the restaurant was right outside the front door and I thought it would be really rude to share Madelyn’s stinky diaper with the nice people coming and going so I had to leave the diaper in the car. Needless to say, when we got back in the car, none of us were eager to get back in the car after dinner.

Diaper Baggies are basically a really durable bag with a zip closure to keep the smell in. My mother really appreciates that.

Here’s a true story: We were at my mom’s house a couple of weekends ago and I left the kids with her for an hour or so, so I could do some shopping. When I came back, we hung around for a while then went home around 8:30. I don’t know about you but when I get home, I take the diaper bag and put it in the same spot and don’t touch it until I go out again. Well..while my mom was watching the kids she changed Madelyn’s poopy diaper. She doesn’t like poopy diapers in her garbage so she put it in a grocery bag and then in my diaper bag. Oh my gosh!!! Did I have a surprise the next day when I reached in to get my wallet out! Oh, it stank! Who puts a poopy diaper in a grocery bag?  We all know they don’t close well and certainly don’t keep the smell out.  My gripe was that she could have at least told me she put a poopy diaper in my diaper bag. So.. my plan from now on is to give her a few Diaper Baggies so that doesn’t happen again.

Diaper Baggies are durable. They don’t tear easily.  I had Sebastian tug and pull on one Diaper Baggie and nothing came of it.

Diaper Baggies are large enough to hold a diaper and several wipes.

Diaper Baggies are colorful. Moms can choose from two cute designs; a flower or a giraffe.

Diaper Baggies are also a great way to store soiled clothing.

A package of Diaper Baggies comes with 40 bags so you will have enough to last you for a while. Best of all, one package is less than $6!

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.

Trendy Baby Girl Varsity Layette

We aren’t a sporty family, but when I put this playsuit, bib, and hat on Madelyn I wanted to cheer.. and I did! I was so excited about how cute the ensamble is that I was laughing and saying "oh, she’s so cute" just like any Mom would when her baby is in a Lil’ Trendy Babies Varsity Layette. Even the girliest of baby girls will look sport in this layette. I LOVE it!

The long sleeve fleece romper is super soft and cozy and features an ’06 or ”07 printed on the front and baby’s name (up to 10 letters) on the back. The set comes with a bib, burp cloth and matching hat.

Lil’ Trendy Babies offers the same set in blue for baby boys!
