The smell of hot chocolate reminds you of your trip to Aspen.  The taste of lemonade reminds you of your beach house. Oh wait.. that’s not real life. Let me start over.

The crayon on the wall reminds you of when little Sally was five, the red juice stain on the carpet reminds you of when she was three and the Keepsake Concepts piece on the armoire reminds you of a time before stains were memories.

Keepsake Concepts Couture Keepsakes are unique, adorable and beautifully made.. just like a baby!  With measurements of 
          4.5"L x 3.5W" your baby shower invites will not be able to hold back their ‘awww, how cute!’ reaction when they receive this invitation.  Complete with a personalized message tag attached with a miniature wooden hanger, Couture Keepsakes can be used as baby shower invitations, party favors, birth announcements, first birthday invitations and I’m sure you can come up with other creative ideas.

Each piece comes complete with a miniature wooden
hanger, miniature clothes pin, and a personalized message tag with a
variety of optional clip art to choose.

Now if Madelyn would leave her Keepsake Couture piece on the shelf and stop trying to put it on the cat, everything would be fine.

We (the mommy insider) are lucky enough to have been chosen to receive an iPhone to review on The Mommy Insider!  I am so excited. I am an extreme tech geek so this is like the best thing ever!!  I can’t wait to share my review with you.  A few things I am looking forward to checking out in detail are:

• the digital camera feature
• the maps
• text messaging
• Internet surfing
• email
• and… the phone.

Don’t worry, I am not going to get too excited before I actually get to review it. I will publish an honest review.

The 41-year-old actress revealed the news in an e-mail to Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell on Tuesday that she is three months pregnant with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s baby.

“Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!” she wrote to Nancy. “Can’t wait to see you and give you a squeeze and see a pic of your little sweetie. Until then, you heard it from ME first!”

I’m sure we will hear about the great ‘swag’ Halle gets over the next year or so. I will keep you updated so you to can have the cool maternity and baby gear Halle will have!

I never thought Madelyn would read before she was two years old.. or four years old for that matter.  The ‘Your Baby Can Read’ videos and cards have proven me wrong.  The most natural time to learn any aspect of language is during the infant and toddler years. There is a natural window of opportunity for learning language where it is easier for children to learn to understand and speak our language at a high level. During this window of opportunity, between the ages of 3 months and 5 years, they can also learn the written word naturally and easily.
My favorite aspect of the ‘Your Baby Can Read!’ videos and cards is that Madelyn can see both the actual word and the object or action. For example, one card says ‘clap’ on it and when you slide the picture out, you see a baby clapping. Madelyn caught onto the word clap very quickly.

I am very impressed with this system and recommend that you give it a try. It is so exciting to see Madelyn pointing to her nose just by looking at the word nose!  How fun!!
