I just could not resist. Demeter has done it again. As if the childhood scents of dirt, grass and cotton candy were not enough. In honor of the honorable Doh co’s 50th anniversary, they have now bottled childhood with… Eau de Playdoh!
Yes it’s wacky. And yet. Can’t wait to smell it.
This gem is selling for $18.99 at Perpetual Kid. They have some other super cool stuff you need (well want, but it is a fine line, isn’t it?) and are currently offering free shipping on orders over $75.

I’m a sucker for a cute tee, and here’s another site making great t-shirts for both pregnant Moms and kids alike. Georgie Tees sells tees with fun and catchy phrases printed on them. Some of my favorite maternity shirts of theirs include: “made it past third base” and “no longer childproof.”
And for the babies, you have to love: “bald is beautiful” and “I wasn’t born yesterday.”
Check out these t-shirts and others on Georgie Tees.
Free shipping on orders over $50. Enter “mommies” at checkout in the comments field to receive the promotion (the cost will not be reflected at check-out but will be once the transaction is processed); expires end of September.

Soft but stylish: Kashwere from Julep Lounge
August 29, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Julep Lounge combines both style and comfort in their line of clothes. Their items are made of “kashwere,” which is the hottest new trend in celebrity clothing wear: it’s a type of material that some say is softer than cashmere.
What’s nice about it is that it’s good for everyday wear and you can toss it in the wash without having to care for it as you do other luxury fabrics (i.e. trip to the dry cleaner).
Even better, it doesn’t wrinkle and it’s pretty stretchy (I even tried my new Julep Lounge top on over my almost-30 week pregnant belly and was able to stretch it! Didn’t wear it long as that’s quite a stretch these days, but I can’t wait to wear it once my belly’s smaller again.) And my son loves his new full-zip jacket for the fall.
Shop JulepLounge.com to buy your own kashwere.
Affordable napping on the road
August 28, 2006 By Leave a Comment
We recently tested out the Nap Mat. It’s a tiny travel bed that comes in some cute patterns for boys and girls. It comes backed in a toddler-sized backpack, and unpacks into a small travel bed complete with pillow, floor mat and blanket.
It’s currently being sold on JCPenny’s site in a fire truck or frog pattern, and is on sale for $14.99. It’s affordable and compact, and good for an afternoon trip to Grandma’s or for naps at a daycare.
29 weeks pregnant: Sporting my [bump]
August 24, 2006 By Leave a Comment
For that in-between, “is she gaining weight or pregnant” stage, here’s a product that helps resolve any confusion. [bump] (baby under manufacturing process) makes tees that tell everyone that you are indeed growing a child in there.
They’re cute and you can get them in tees, tanks, long-sleeve or even tees for men (sympathy [bump]s!) You can select the maternity tees with all sorts of additional sayings too (let people know you’re having a boy/girl – or that you don’t know where your [bump] is going to come out and other whimsical phrases.)

Giving the gift of flowers that won’t die
August 23, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Running this site, I’m constantly amazed at the creativity of so many of you Moms. I don’t know how you come up with so many ingenious ideas – but you do, and I’m continually impressed by ingenious and cute products like this one: the Baby Bunch.
This “bunch of flowers,” is in reality a bunch of baby clothes wrapped up to look like a boutique of flowers. The presentation is fun and practical. And what a great gift to bring when you visit a friend/baby in the hospital. You can select a small or medium bunch ($39.95 and $49.95), and the colors yellow, pink or blue. All items in the bunch come in size 0-6 months.
Handmade gifts with charm at the Patchwork Bear
August 22, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Patchwork is “in,” and I’m a sucker for these products at the Patchwork Bear. I particularly love their patchwork blankets. Each square is made up of a different fabric, pure heaven for a newborn or baby.
Each square varies and is one of the following textiles: super soft “minky” fabric, chenille, flannel & satin. Each of these fabrics are soft and inviting to baby’s touch – making the blanket something fun for them to explore and cuddle with. The full-sized blanket is currently on sale too (normally $54, marked down to $48). And you can have it personalized for an additional $5.

Loaded with features: Fanci-free diaper bag
August 14, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Here’s one diaper bag with so many bells and whistles, you won’t be lacking for anything. I was very impressed when I opened the Fanci-Free diaper bag. It looks to be mid-sized but it collapses really well – opened up it holds quite a bit. Also, storage is well-organized.
It has four large pockets with inside zippers. It comes with a changing pad that has a little storage section for diapers and wipes. It also comes with a separate cosmetic case and cell phone/wallet-type organizer. And if you don’t like the external cell phone organizer, there’s a built in cell phone holder on the inside of the bag.
Other features include a carbineer clip for your keys and water-resistant outside material. The straps are also adjustable for shoulder or stroller hanging.
You can find the bag on Little Dudes and Divas. They are currently on sale for $89.10 (usually $99) and enter code FANCIBIB at purchase and you’ll also receive a free bib.
New, fresh and adorable
August 2, 2006 By Leave a Comment
Loving these cute, new t-shirts! With clever comments like “Be nice to my mom, she’s tired” and “One for the road” with a picture of a bottle (which I know my husband would just love!) Ubooshi’s t-shirts will be a hit at any shower or baby-meeting party.
We’re a “signing family,” so I have to mention my favorite: it has a heart on the front with the finger signs of the letters L-O-V-E. The back has the same heart, but spells the word with letters. So sweet!
But why do I really love these t-shirts? No TAGS!!! For weeks, my son has been coming in my room complaining about tags that itch his neck. The people at Ubooshi must know my son!
