Colin Maguire

Colin Maguire tee shirts were created by Carrie and Matt Eckert with a lot of help from the talented children residing at The Children’s Inn at NIH.

The shirts are 100% super-soft cotton with contrast stitching and distressed hemlines.

I love the style of these t-shirts. They have a distressed hemline which gives the tee’s a "stylish" look.

Long-sleeve “layered” tees are available for fall and many short-sleeve styles are on the way.

Choose from several super cute designs!

Burp Catcher

Spit up, spit up everywhere.. spit up, spit up in my hair!

That is a day in the life of.. ME! Not anymore!!! YEAH!!

I am now using the Burp Catcher and now the spit up goes in a little pocket sewn into the burp cloth rather than down my back and on my clothes.

Do you want to know what one product can actually make your days and nights easier? I have found it! The Burp Catcher. Madelyn has always been a big "spitter upper" and using regular burp cloths doesn’t keep the spit up from going all down my back and getting on my clothes.

There are a combination of factors that make this a truly innovative product that I think every parent of a newborn needs:
1. The Burp Catcher has a pocket that hangs open just enough to catch your baby’s spit up during burping.
2. The Burp Catcher is made of a very soft material that your baby will love.
3. The Burp Catcher can be rolled or folded up and will easily fit in your diaper bag.
4. The Burp Catcher is machine washable!

Lollipopwear – custom and cool infant creepers

I love the Copyright 2006 onesie from lollipopwear.com! I haven’t seen anything like this before. Lollipopwear.com will customize a "copyright" onesie for your little one with their year of birth.

Kisses 25cents…If I could get 25cents for every kiss Madelyn gets or is expected to give, I would be rich!

Other sayings include: "I get my witch powers f rom my mom" and "Peaches -n- Cream".

Lollipopwear.com also sells cute bibs. What is so great about their bibs is that they are larger than average bibs. I really appreciate the size of these bibs as Madelyn is a "spitter upper" and we can really use the extra bib area!

“I Can Do It” reward chart

Sebastian is a great kid.. but what 6 year old wants to take time out of his busy day to brush his teeth, clean his room, help with the dishes etc.?  Not mine! 

That is why I use the I Can Do It! Reward Chart.

I put this great chart on the refrigerator at his eye level, chose 5 task’s to put on the chart and explained the system to him. He has been doing great! He loves that he gets to put a star (attach to chart with Velcro) on a box each time he completes a task.

You can choose 5 tasks out of 20 to feature on your chart at a time. Each week you can enter a number in the "goals" area so your child will know how many stars he/she has to get in order to get his/her reward. You write the reward in a special reward area at the bottom of the chart so it doesn’t escape your child’s mind!

The stars are made out of heavy duty plastic so they won’t break. The chart is laminated so it won’t tear and has strong magnetic strips on the back.

Some of the chores and behaviors included are:

  • Get dressed
  • Go potty
  • Brush your teeth
  • No whining
  • Get along with others
  • Good manners at the table
  • Make bed
  • No harming others
  • Feed pets
  • Share your toys
  • Water the plants
  • Set the table
  • Help with dishes
  • Go to bed and stay in bed
  • Clean your mess

Droolz – handcrafted burp cloths and more for baby

I’m New Here… need she say more?  I went to the lacation consultant last week (we were having some problems with "overactive" let down!) and Madelyn wore this onesie. The nurses couldn’t get over the saying!  Put your baby in a Droolz onesie and she is sure to get a lot of great attention!

Sayings include: Small buy mighty, I’m new here, and I don’t know why I’m crying.. I love that one!

Droolz is known for their handcrafted burp cloths which are amazingly soft. The burp clothes are thicker than most which is great.  With most "average" burp cloths, when I am cleaning up what seems to be several ounces of spit up I hate when the spit up soaks through the thin layer of a burp cloth. That’s just gross!

Droolz burp cloths come in 3 packs and in lots of styles to suit your baby girl or boy.
