This is an ideal lounging suit for your little grinch this holiday season. We even got complements when we had to run the post office. It's loose fitting making it comfortable for active tots.

Bumkins was nice enough to send me the Grinch Superbib and an ornament as well. The ornaments look like glass, but are actually plastic and childproof, our little grinch loves to throw them!!

The bib has the handy catch-all pocket and is made of a great waterproof material it's stain and leak resistant, vinyl-free, PVC-free and Phthalate-free, American-made fabric. It would be great for Christmas morning.

Let them know Santa is Watching



I know I still have a belly ache from Halloween, however those tricky marketers are already decking the halls. We were walking down Magazine Street the other day and I saw Elf On The Shelf $29.95 in the window of Magic Box Toys. The second I got home I googled it, and I love it. You put the Elf on the shelf (duhhhh) and ..."At our home the elf would arrive around the holidays, usually at Thanksgiving. His sole responsibility was to watch my children's behavior and report it to "Santa" each night. The next morning after the children awoke, they discovered the elf had returned from the "North Pole" (with some parental assistance) and was hiding in a different place. My children would race each other out of bed to try and be the first to spy him in his new position."

A side note for nursing Moms


So we have been in festival mode Swamp Fest, Voodoo Fest, Thursday in the square... I want to remind Moms to be and Moms who are nursing about nursing covers. Check out some of the great ones from Bebeaulait at the Baby Center Store.

5 AM WAKE UP CALL

OK I don't know who invented Daylight Savings Time, but I do not like it. The whole house is up at 5 am. I just escaped to see if I can avoid this drama again tomorrow. I think I might be the proud owner of the Kiddsleep sleep training clock by the end of this week. "As a parent all you need to do is set the clock to the time when you want your child to get up, and show them that when the sleeping picture is lit they should stay in bed. You can get them to play-act sleeping in their bed with the sleeping picture on, and then getting out when the wide-awake picture comes on." I am going to need a nap to make it to 10pm tonight.

Perfect Toddler Shoe




I know that I have posted about Umi shoes before, however every time we wear them I get asked about them. We use to wear the puggle, but it is now sold out. I just found the puzzle it comes in the same chocolate and pink that we adore and the multi colored puzzle. I think the multi colored shoe is such a fun colorful shoe and it goes with every outfit we own!!!They are so perfect for the toddler who is ready to walk outside. They have a soft leather sole with the rubber circles for some traction. I honestly don't know what we are going to do when she moves to a size 6.

Snacks Get Funky




Today I discovered this yummy Funky Monkey Snack that is organic, all natural and 100% fruit. It comes in 4 great flavors Bannanamon, Carnival Mix, Javealime (my fav of pineapple and lime), and Purple Funk (my little one's fav). Of course my little heath loves the one coated in one of nature's true superfoods. The snacks are chunks of freeze dried fruit that are dried crispy. They reminded me of a fruit chip, however they do not use all the chemicals associated with a chip. I keep finding great new things that my kids love. I love all these new healthy great tasting alternatives to traditional junk food. These are packaged in just the right size to throw in the diaper bag for a great snack on the go. Get Funky with your snack time!!!!

Helping Mom and Me keep Warm




In the south I would have never had a use for this however, my northern reader tutucute is on the hunt for a way to wear her baby and keep her baby warm. When my readers ask I find. On my hunt I found this Mommy and Me Poncho at etsy storefront LilBeanBaby. For those chilly fall or winter days when it seems too cold to wear your baby outdoors, the MamaBean Poncho is just the ticket. It's made of two layers of fleece and is reversible. There's one neckhole for you and another for your baby. If you don't get the hat on it you can wear your baby in the front or back.
The great thing about etsy is you can convo with the seller and get the right fabric for where you live.

I know Christmas is like 2 -3 months away but I saw these amazing fingerprint cufflinks on etsy storefront Angel Silver, and had to post about them now.

They are so personal and no one else in the office will have anything like them.
