I last reviewed Goober Baby in October of 2006. They’ve since started offering products on their own site, as well as adding some new patterns. I just adore the new patterns – sometimes I see the same patterns over and over again with different products, so I’m excited when I see something stylish, yet different from the norm.
Goober Baby offers a Change Purse (diaper and wipe organizer), Changing Pad and a Lunch Tote Bag. The Lunch Tote Bag is one of my particular favorites as I think it’s a nifty little organizer for all sorts of miscellaneous items in your diaper bag. I currently use it to store a spoon and a couple jars of baby food for whenever I go out. Before that, I filled it with infant toys. Each of their products are lined with a plush material that I seriously can’t stop obsessively touching. In fact, I love changing the baby on the changing pad – I feel like he must never want to get up, it’s so soft.
Check them out and use coupon code style07 for free shipping (which is nice as it comes from Canada), expires August 30th.

We’ve been wearing a lot of Zutano clothing this summer; they have a ton of cute patterns and I find their clothes hold up better than most over extended periods of baby wear and tear. Our favorite is still the Baby Basics Sunhat, it’s so big and floppy and keeps baby well-shaded.
So I got an email about a sale on Zutano clothes on Bugs and Blossoms and thought I’d post it. Check it out – shop Zutano clothes at Bugs and Blossoms.
Incidentally, I was recently at the ENK Children’s Club tradeshow in New York City and I stopped by the Zutano booth, they were debuting their new fall line and it’s adorable. I’ll try and find a good sale to post when it becomes available.

The following is a paid Advertorial from Lapin Vilardi:
No matter what age your children are you can never have enough spill proof and leak proof bags. Dirty clothes, wet bathings suits and soiled nappies are just some of the obstacles that mom’s have to tackle on an hourly basis. But just because you are a mom doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style or function. And let’s face it all those plastic baggies that end up in the waste bin just aren’t practical not to mention environmentally unfriendly.
With Lapin Vilardi carryalls, you can simply use, rinse or wash and reuse all of their cotton and waterproof carryalls. Click here to check out the laundry bags, the perfect size for packing a spare change of clothing when their favorite juice ends up on their clothes and not in their tummy. The bikini bags are perfect for wet swimsuits after a day at the pool.
So now, you can spend more time enjoying your children and less time worrying about what to do with spills.

Available in onesies for sizes 0-6 months and 6-12 months, Hollywood is ga-ga over the Young Hollywood t-shirts, with many celeb babies being seen in this one. And I’m a fan of “Original Napster”– over a graphic of a crib.

The Yukata Receiving Gown by Ruby Fay, available at In Style Moms, is ideal for every woman who wants something beautiful to lounge in. While It can be worn by anyone, I definitely think it’s the perfect thing for Moms-to-be who are looking for something special to wear at the hospital and later.
After a very long labor with my firstborn, I was so relieved to have my new baby that I didn’t take much notice of my appearance when we took all of the pictures. At the time, I probably would not have appreciated anyone who might have suggested that I consider ‘freshening up a bit.’ But in hindsight, I wish that someone had. Most of the pictures with me in them turned out to be less than fabulous, to say the least.
This time around I’m counting on the Yukata Receiving Gown to help give me that beautiful new Mommy feeling we all deserve to have post delivery. It will be so much nicer to see in pictures, and while receiving visitors (in the hospital and at home), than gowns with childish prints that the baby should be wearing, instead of you. Or even worse, the yucky standard issue hospital gown.
The beautiful fabric has a smooth, soft finish and is 100% cotton, imported from Japan. The gown itself is made in the USA.
Retail price is $85.00 at In Style Moms. MWS readers can use coupon code “MWS10″ to receive a 10% discount for anything on the site.

So I don’t know how I missed this, but I did not know that La Leche League had a store and that they sell products. They have an array of products, including Nursing Bras, intimate apparel and newborn and baby wear.
Always on the lookout for good nursing products, I tried one of their bras. Of course, La Leche League is one of the leading authorities (if not THE top leading one) on breastfeeding. So I wasn’t surprised to love the bra. Comfortable, easy access with the snap, very supportive and definitely affordable, I certainly recommend that all nursing mothers and soon to be nursing mothers check out their line of items.
I was especially impressed by the support. While I have found plenty of nursing bras that provide an easy snap or access for nursing, not as many of them are supportive. (Which is obviously even more important when you are nursing and everything’s bigger and heavier!)

Recently I was out shopping with my infant son when I realized he needed his diaper changed……nothing out of the ordinary. I found the closest bathroom which happened to have a changing station that was dirty, cold and very uncomfortable looking. Luckily, I happened to have my Plush Pad on hand to make my son’s changing experience so much better!
The Plush Pad is a soft, warm and very stylish diaper changing pad! Its generous sized at 2 feet by 2 feet and easily rolls up while being secured by elastic to fit into my diaper bag making it great for changes on the go. It also would be good to use as an extra diaper pad for around the house, at Grandma’s or on vacation in a hotel room. The hip fabrics are very soft (like a blanket) and have a body-contouring memory foam insert in the middle of the pad to cushion your baby’s sensitive body. The foam insert has a pillow case incasing it and has a zipper compartment where it fits inside the Pad so it is easily removable for washing. The Pad is machine washable and water repellent as well. It is extremely well made!
Pamper your baby with the Plush Pad and use code “mommy” at checkout to receive free ground shipping on orders over $25.

It took awhile to get five folks to respond, but here they are: Erika H. from CA, Lisa B. from CA, Felinda S. from CA, Heidi F. from FL and Danielle S. from Vancouver.
Congratulations to these lucky Moms for winning our giveaway from the Learning Curve for a Pirate Ship.
And for the rest of you, don’t forget to enter this week’s giveaway from Crissy G’s Boutique.

Every time I go to a baby shower, I always end up spending more time and money than I had originally intended. Which is no big deal – but by the time you get a gift, add wrapping paper, a bow, that cute bib that you just have to attach to the top of the present… it ends up being a production.
Here’s a site that does gift boxes that come all ready to go, full of tons of great items that are useful for any Mom, put all together for you and ready to go and be gifted: Just Blossom. They offer various gift boxes filled with items such as receiving blankets, booties, onesies, burp cloths and more. Really, they have a huge selection so you can pick based on the gift recipient. (There are tons of neat baskets that I think would be perfect for second time Moms.)
Use coupon code 1001 for 20% off the total of your order.
