We have a Scribble Mats Place Mat and also one of their Scribble Books. My kids really enjoy them! They are great for home, school, or travel. They have provided hours of learning fun for my little ones!

The place mat is award winning and it makes meal time fun time. It is a durable washable place mat that can be colored on over and over again. You just use the color crayons included to color on the place mat and then wipe off is easy with a dry tissue or cloth. These are great for meal time at home or at restaurants. Each place mat stimulates learning. We have the ABC design, but they also have a ton of other imaginative designs…alphabet, numbers, animals, USA, continents, colors and shapes, time, opposites, same/different, dot-to-dots, mazes, and much more!

We also have the Travel Fun Scribble Book. It is a coloring adventure in a book that you can tote around with you. It has reuseable scribble pages and comes with four coloring crayons. It is great for kids on the go. If you are planning a trip this summer, this would be a great thing to have for the kids to keep them busy.

Scribble Mats creative products don’t stop with the place mats and scribble books, so check out their website to see their complete line of fun learning tools!

It is so hard to find fun clothes for boys! First of all, the selection is so much smaller than the selection for girls. Then there’s the issue of style. Boys clothing is often times so boring and it is just lacking in personality. It seems like there’s little variety, too. Clothing is always the same colors (blue, red, etc.) and the same themes (firetrucks, dinosaurs, bugs, etc.). That’s all fine, but sometimes you may want something more trendy and hip and something unique from what you can find at the department stores.

I recently gave this onesie and tee to my nephew. Both the tee and onesie are very soft and comfortable for him, and he looks great in the brown color.

The Rusty Bumper line includes infant and toddler size onesies and tee shirts in hard to find black and brown colors. They are made of high quality, heavy, 100% cotton. They wash very nicely and stay in great shape with little shrinking!

You can check out the Rusty Bumper clothing line at www.rustybumperworld.com.

My daughter, Serena, will be wearing this gorgeous silk flower barrette with her Easter dress! It’s their Pink Flower Ribbon Hair Bow and it is a big open rose layered on top of organza ribbon. It’s beautiful!

The barrette is not only beautiful, but it is also very well made. I like to having matching hair accessories for my daughters, but it’s hard to find ones that are both pretty and well made. Pink Bowtique’s hair bows are well constructed with quality materials, and the styles look to be real show stoppers!

In addition to offering a wide variety of hair bows in various sizes and colors, they also offer bow holders, headbands, wipe cases, shopping cart covers, and more!

With Megan’s letters we got to choose a font (127 choices), color (27 choices), height (4″ – 18″), and thickness (1/8″ – 3/4″). We also had the option of ordering them unpainted so we could pick out our own paint color.

Safety is always a priority for me, so when I spotted this Child Safety Sign, I was sold. My kids love to play in our driveway, so this sign is great to alert motorists that children are playing.

Be Alert for Billy has a BIG and IMPORTANT message for motorists that can be read from over 100 feet and the sign itself can be seen from over 500 feet away. At 31 inches tall and 20 inches wide, it is the largest sign on the market.

Exclusively at Childsafety.com and priced at $24.95, this sign is key to child safety!

Glitz and Glamour Boutique has handbags,jewelry, hair accessories, belts, and more! But it was their Woven Moments Throws that really caught my attention.

The throw comes as a kit. Once your kit arrives, you can select a photo and begin the personalization process (online) and in about four to six weeks your throw will be ready to display or give as a gift.

Remember the name Glitz and Glamour Boutique, because I will be doing a follow-up as soon as my custom Woven Moments Throw arrives. I am really excited to to see the finished product.

So if you’re looking for a gift that will really be special, check out Glitz and Glamour Boutique. They also have Gift Certificates available!

Nestled inside a blue wooden basket, lined with a removable Cotton gingham liner, were four fabulous gifts. The Snugglie is, oh, so soft and just that……snugglie. It’s made of fluffy chenille Cotton, luxurious satin, and plush Minky chenille fabrics. There is even a personalization option. Then to clean up in style, we have the Designer Wipe Case . The wipe cases are available in several different styles. Perfect for baby, but also great for children of all ages. A wipe case stocked with wipes is something I never leave home without! For a beautiful keepsake, a Silver-Plated Elephant Bank was tucked into the basket. The silk carry bag made it even more special. Last, but not least, a Toddler Travel Changing Pad was included. This changing pad doubles as a diaper wallet. Inside are convenient compartments for diapers, wipes, money, keys, etc. This changing pad is available in a few colors and even sports a handle. Great for the stylish mom on the go.

I really appreciate the wonderful gift basket filled with goodies! Take it from a mother of six, you can’t be without a wipe case, and you won’t want to be without the changing pad after you see it. The bank and blanket are just the icing on the cake!

What’s really unique and fun about Makrista Baby is that you can have a hand in designing your garment. You get to choose your favorite Makrista Baby design and your favorite clothing style . The garments used are European combed Cotton, which is super soft and plush. They have over 19 different styles of clothing and over 15 hand-drawn original designs for you to choose from.

I had a lot of fun choosing an image for them to apply to my garment choice. The only trouble was trying to decide between all of their sweet designs. The little top I picked was absolutely adorable! It arrived in a cute “to go” box with a ribbon and made a perfect little gift.
