Mommy’s of new baby boys and girls will love Lucky Duck & Friends unique, one-of-a-kind baby onesies.
My kids wore onesies almost every day of their first year of life. Onesies are easy to put on, allow for quick and easy diaper changes, are available in a variety of colors and designs, and best of all.. Lucky Duck & Friends offers parents the most adorable designs on baby onesies that I’ve seen in a long time!

Check this one out..

Pippa with Lucky Duck & Friends is an artist who specializes in one of a kind baby and toddler clothing that is unique because all of the designs on her baby clothes are taken from Pippa’s unique acrylic animal paintings and then digitally printed on the clothing. Unique right? Other prints include an elephant, penguin, duck, and lion cub. Pippa’s designs capture the carefree and loving nature of kids. Her designs remind me how innocent little baby’s are.

This baby onesie (Baby White Onesie with Original Animal Art – Deer) has an original image that is based on one of Pippa Scott’s unique paintings.

Lucky Duck & Friends’ baby onesie features:

3 snap bottom closure for easy opening
Ribbed color and leg cuffs
100% ringspun cotton

Lucky Duck & Friends baby onesies are available in 6, 12, and 18 months sizes.
Priced at just $20 you can stock up on these unique, adorable, outfits for your baby. I think all of the designs are all pretty gender neutral so even if you don’t know if you are having a boy or girl, go ahead and buy a few of these onesies. Your baby will look adorable in any of them!

Lucky Duck & Friends baby clothes make unique and cute gifts for expecting and new moms. I was at the Atlanta Baby & Child Expo yesterday which is where I found this beautiful baby girl Elyrika who modeled the Lucky Duck & Friends baby onesie seen in the photos above. Several moms and a couple of dads asked if I was selling the onesies. They would have bought them right there on the spot if I had been!

You will also find beautiful greeting cards, presentation boxes, and youth apparel with Pippa’s artwork printed on them, on the Lucky Duck and Friends website.

BubbleBum Inflatable Booster Seat to the Rescue!

August 18, 2011Must Haves, Transportation, Travelbubblebum, inflatable booster seat, toddler, TravelAlicia

BubbleBum is a portable and foldable booster seat that is perfect for daily car rides or for keeping in Grandma’s car for the occassional trip to story time. Made for children who weigh between 40 and 80lbs, are older than 3 years old, and can refrain from sitting on their knees during a long car ride, the BubbleBum Booster Seat is a unique solution to a problem that’s been around for years.. ever since booster seats were introduced. The problem you ask? The lack of portability and foldability. Booster seats aren’t typically known for being foldable but once you try the BubbleBum Booster Seat, you’ll realize that it’s something you’ll use more often than you expected.

PORTABILITY

The school year is about to start and I bet not everyone on your child’s pickup list has a booster seat in their car. My sister-in-law is on my daughter’s ‘safe pick up’ list and she doesn’t have a booster seat in her car. Why would she.. she doesn’t have kids!? What will I do if I need her to pick my daughter up from school? When I know that she will be picking my daughter up, I’ll send the BubbleBum Booster Seat to school with my daughter. It’s light enough for her to carry and it even fits in her backpack! Let’s just hope I remember to give my SIL a car pool number! 😉
This booster seat is great when you travel via airplane as it will conveniently fit inside your carry-on or checked luggage. When you arrive at your destination, simply inflate the BubbleBum booster seat and install it in the taxi or rental car.

The BubbleBum booster seat is compact. Three BubbleBum Booster Seats will easily fit across the backseat of a car, suv, or van. No more excuses for Grandma and Grandpa to not take all three of your kids to the beach without you next weekend. You need a breather.. grab a few BubbleBums and send the kids off with the Grandparents!

SAFETY

It has been proven that children in booster seats have approximately half the injury risk of children without the use of a booster seat, and in seatbelts alone. While head injuries are the most commonly injured body region for all restrained children, abdominal injuries are the second most common injury for belted children as a result of “seat-belt syndrome” injuries. Children who were restrained by booster seats showed a notable absence of abdominal injuries.

Every parent wants their child to be safe. Here are some reasons why you should use a booster seat on EVERY journey with your child:

BubbleBum is a Belt Positioning Booster seat for children who meet all of the following criteria:
1. Children between 40lbs and 80lbs in weight
2. Children are over the age of 3,
3. Children can sit for the entire journey without sitting on their knees
A booster seat must ONLY be used with a 3 point seat belt, this is a seat belt which goes across the lap and diagonally across the chest.

BubbleBum can fit easily with any combination of cars seat as long as there are enough 3 point seat belts to restrain each and every child.

My 5 year old loves the BubbleBum Booster Seat. She thinks it’s cool because (a) it blows up (b) it’s comfy and (c) it makes her feel like a big girl.

You can purchase a BubbleBum for $39.99 from BubbleBum.com. As mentioned above, your child must meet certain criteria to use the BubbleBum. You can connect with BubbleBum on Facebook BubbleBum on Facebook, and follow @BubbleBumUSA on Twitter.

Our super sweet Candy Land party and a giveaway!

November 15, 2010Contests, Games, New posts, Toyscandy land, Games, my blog spark, party, preschooler, toddlerAlicia

Can you imagine.. Candy Land, cupcakes, face painting, pottery painting, bead bracelet craft, and hair-do’s.. all in an hour and a half?
Oh my gosh I can’t tell you how exhausted I was around 12:30 today. I was pooped and ready for a nap, which is very unlike me. All for good reason though. Thanks to Hasbro and My Blog Spark, I hosted a Candy Land party for about 18 3-5 year old’s this morning. I was thrilled to have Desiree from BottlesToBritches.com, Stacie from TheDivineMissMommy.com, and Amanda from OhAmanda.com at the party. Check out their blogs! You’ll love them.

Candy Land was recently redesigned, bringing the excitement that is Candy Land back to our kitchen table. Forget the dinner, let’s play Candy Land! My daughter is 4 and Candy Land is the “go to” board game when she has friends over. Don’t even try to offer another game.. Candy Land is “IT!” and that’s the way it is.

Candy Land party - My Blog Spark

Candy Land is a classic ‘first game for children’, takes about 15 minutes to play, and because there is no need to read to play Candy Land, even 3 year olds can play it!

You too can travel down the rainbow path on a journey of discovery through enchanted lands filled with sweet surprises around every corner. Create delicious treats at the Cupcake Commons to deliver along the way, participate in a thrilling snowboard race down the Ice Cream Slopes with the Duke of Swirl, take a relaxing train ride through Gummy Hills and climb to the top of Chocolate Mountain. Be sure to make friends with Gramma Gooey, Lord Licorice, Princess Frostine and Princess Lolly of Lollypop Woods throughout your adventure, as you race to meet King Kandy at the grand entrance to the Candy Castle.

Here’s a short video of our Candy Land fun at Farmhouse in the City in Roswell, GA:

Goony Goo-Goo and GaGa Too! Madelyn is HOOKED on this book

November 11, 2010Bedtime, Books, Contests, New postsBedtime, book, story, toddlerAlicia

Like I’ve said in previous book related reviews, Madelyn LOVES to read.. or rather, be read to, at this age. From what I’ve seen, most 3-5 year olds get hooked on something and it becomes part of their routine.. for a long time. Such is the case with Goony Goo Goo and GaGa Too written by children’s book author Kia Morgan Smith.

Goony Goo Goo and GaGa Too is a tale of two sisters Selena and Celeste who are less than enthusiastic about their new baby brother. They don’t understand why he can’t talk or walk and at the first indication that ‘Baby Boy’ understands what the girls are saying, the girls go on and on assigning him chores and such. Mom is none to happy about the girls attitude about Baby Boy and gives them a piece of her mind by explaining to them that Baby Boy isn’t their servent boy and that the girls should appreciate their little brother for who he is and what he can do. The book is whimsically illustrated by Brandon Fall.

Here’s a brief video of Madelyn showing off the book and her favorite children’s book author:

Adorable organic play clothes for kids at Dadoo Kids

October 6, 2010Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, New postsbaby, dadoo kids, organic, play clothes, toddlerAlicia

I’m always on the lookout for cute, comfortable clothes for my kids. Madelyn, my 4 year old is all about wearing yoga pants and comfy tees. But a problem arose.. she wants to wear yoga pants and comfy tees to school everyday and we all know that there are only so many pairs of yoga pants and comfy tees available at clothing stores.. and they all look the same – not a great thing when she should look like she’s wearing a different outfit every day.
I see all these little girls at Madelyn’s school, dressed to the 9’s but the kids don’t always look like they’re comfortable. I want Madelyn to look cute AND be comfortable which is why I don’t have a problem with her wearing yoga pants and tees to school most days. Given that, I was very excited when I learned about Dadoo Kids, an online store offering cute, comfortable organic clothes for babies and kids. Now Madelyn’s school outfits can be comfortable and cute at the same time!

Dadoo Kids organic tee — Dadoo Kids organic butterfly tee

With two young ones of her own, designer Christine Miller Kelly was inspired to develop a line of playful, modern, and super comfortable children’s clothing that simultaneously celebrates the joy of being a kid (no rush to look like an adult!) and the realities of day-to-day play.

Dadoo Kids clothing is made with organic cotton and bamboo blends, making the pieces gentle to the touch.. great for sensitive baby skin.

Dadoo Kids designs are fun, unique, and their pieces are true to size. This means leaner, better fitting clothes for infants and toddlers.

Their lounge pants are knit and have elastic waistbands (no buttons or zippers) making them the ultimate in comfort for your little one.

Because there are no buttons or zippers to fuss with, Dadoo Kids clothing encourages independence with tees, pants, and twirly dresses that are easy for self-dressing, undressing, and going potty.

Check out Dadoo Kids adorable selection of organic cotton and bamboo blend kids clothing.
