        <![CDATA[<p>Ok don't judge me. I don't like to give my kids candy. I want to be that "no food rewards ever" mom. But I just can't do it.  I take comfort in the notion that even Mary Poppins subscribed to the "spoonful of sugar" school of discipline. And she's like the SUPER super nanny. Right?</p>

<p>My guilt load lightened up a tiny little bit when I discovered Yummy Earth Organic lollipops. These tiny little suckers now inhabit my glove compartment and my bag - ready to coerce my kids into doing my evil bidding. I myself feel like an evil genius, using a bribe  on them that is vegan, kosher, dairy free, nut free, wheat free, and free of nasty corn syrup to boot. </p>

<p>Consider this twist, however.  This morning en route to the grocery store I experienced a post venti americano caffiene crash, and at the same time my blood sugar took an unexpected dip. I was stuck in construction traffic, not a Starbucks in sight and on the verge of a massive mommy tantrum when I thought to myself, just be a good girl and get the grocery shopping done and you can have a lolly.</p>

<p>So ten seconds later I  dipped in to the dashboard stash and tried out a pomegrante pucker lollipop and all I can say is wow! It was seriously and truly the yummiest lollipop I have had in ages. </p>

<p>I'm almost tempted to have another. Just as soon as I take out the trash, put up dinner, and do a carpool run. Gotta love that the serving size on the package is listed as three lollipops. Yeah, they are that good. And a single serving is only 70 calories. </p>

<p>Get Yummy Earth Lollipops at the <a href="http://www.yummyearth.com/">Yummy Earth Website</a>. They have 21 delicious flavors. <br />

<p></a><em>Baby: &quot;I'd like to book a 7:30 Spa treatment in the Master Suite? With Mom, please?</em>&quot;</p></p>

<p><em>Me: &quot;Let me check our availability...&quot;</em></p>

<p><em>Baby: &quot;Look lady, I'm willing to go with Dad if Mom's already booked, I just really need my treatment!&quot;</em></p>

<p>Pushy kid! Ever since we got a <a href="http://www.spababytubs.com/purchase.php">Spa Baby European Style Bath Tub</a> though, my baby seems to think he is entitled to bathe every single day. I've tried telling him that Europeans are notorious for bathing less frequently than Americans but he's not interested in this trivia. He's just loving his spatime too much.</p>

<p>Prior to trying the <strong>Spa Baby</strong> tub, my son was not a happy bather. He was a screamer. I was hesitant to even try the tub, and have to admit that the first time I used it, I felt awkward. The tub is bucket shaped and your baby sits upright in it. You support the baby with one hand and wash him/her with the other. It seemed like it would be tricky but <strong>Spa Baby</strong> eased my qualms and lessened the learning curve with this <a href="http://www.spababytubs.com/instructions.php">helpful instructional video</a>.</p>

<p> My baby did not share my hesitation. The first time we tried it he actually smiled the entire time he was being bathed. My oldest daughter grabbed my cell phone to snap some pics, we were so amazed by how happy and peaceful my baby was in his bath for the first time ever. According to the <strong>Spa Baby</strong> site, the natural upright position and being bathed in water to their shoulders, mimics the feeling of being in the womb. Apparently the womb is the ultimate spa - we even provide room service for dining. We're entirely sold on this tub now. I also love that it has such a small footprint and works on the counter, a table or in the kitchen sink. Use it wherever you want to set up your home spa.&nbsp; </p>

<p>One word of caution -- you might not want to bathe your child immediately after eating. The sitting up position tends to make my 8wk old son spit up if he has just nursed. This of course did not bother him in the least. Only me! </p>

<p><em>Baby: &quot;Listen, for my 7:30 do you think I could get you to use the lavender scented wash? And could I get a massage and a pedicure this time too?&quot;</em></p>

<p><em>Me: &quot;Whatever&quot;</em></p>

<p>Canadian customers purchase the tub on the <a href="http://www.spababytubs.com/purchase.php">Spa Baby European Tub</a> site for $39.99 CDN, US customers purchase online at <a href="http://https//www.scentsofdelight.com/shop/product.php?productid=16933&amp;cat=304&amp;page=1">Sweet Peas and Little Sprouts</a> for $44.95 plus shipping. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>My daughter loves seeing her name on just about anything thing these days.  Lately she’s been using a personalized placemat where she always sits at the table and spells her name out loud over and over again.  So when she asked why her brother didn’t have one, I told her that it was because he couldn’t read letters yet.  This of course made her even more proud that she, as the big sister, could read.  She then decided that mommy and daddy should invest in a placemat for him so that he could learn to read his name as she did!</p>

<p>So, when we did receive a fantastic <a href="http://www.olivekids.com/p_placemats.html">placemat</a> from <a href="http://www.olivekids.com/">Olive Kids</a> with our son’s name on it, my daughter was thrilled!   Olive Kids <a href="http://www.olivekids.com/p_placemats.html">placemats</a> are thick, durable and will withstand being wiped down over and over again.  They measure 12” x 18” and are made with heavyweight laminate for easy clean-up.  Their designs are fabulous and 100% original!</p>

<p><img alt="planets.jpg" src="http://www.mommieswithstyle.com/mtblog/planets.jpg" align=left width="224" height="154" />Mealtime will blast off with the fun <a href="http://www.olivekids.com/personalize.html?id=PL-OOTW-420&item=placemat">Out Of This World</a> outer space design! The colorful placemat features planets, spaceships, stars and even your little astronaut’s name.  On your mark, get set, GO! Your child will race through dinner with the <a href="http://www.olivekids.com/personalize.html?id=PL-VROO-420&item=placemat">Vroom</a> placemat! Any future racer will love to see their name on this cool race car design.

        <![CDATA[<p><img src=http://www.munchkin.com/userfiles/Image/40_CargoSling1_lg.jpg align=right>Here's a great starter sling that just might continue on and be an early favorite. The <a href="http://www.munchkin.com/online_store/detail.php?pid=51">Jelly Bean Cargo Sling </a>by Munchkin has taken slinging and baby carrying mainstream.</p>

<p>The carrier, created from breathable cotton, keeps babies up to 20 pounds, close--exactly where they want to be. With a double-wide padded shoulder strap, its comfortable to sling baby, and easy. The Jelly Bean Cargo Wrap also has many compartments, like a diaper and wipes holder and a pacifier or key loop, even a bottle holder and a spot to store your wallet and phone, making it unnecessary to lug a bag and a sling and a baby (something even many slinging pros will admit isn't easy, or fun.) </p>

<p>At only $39.99, <a href="http://www.munchkin.com/online_store/detail.php?pid=51">Munchkin's new carrier </a>(which hit stores last month) has become an excellent baby shower gift--encouraging new moms to sling babies with ease.</p>

<p>While shopping Munchkin, check out their Safety Bath Ducky. A token gift for any mom, this ducky tells whether bath water is too hot-- not by chaging color which can lead to confusing thoughts (scratch head, hmmm, its purple? but red means hot and blue means cold... so, is my water warm??) Rather it simply states HOT when the water is too hot for baby. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://celebritybabies.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/28/pommebaby_2.jpg"><img title="Pommebaby_2" height="135" alt="Pommebaby_2" src="http://celebritybabies.typepad.com/reviews/images/2008/04/28/pommebaby_2.jpg" width="150" border="0" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 5px 5px 0px" /></a> It's fresh, it's organic and it's prepared by a Zagat rated executive chef. Which is why <a href="http://www.pommebebe.com/index.php">Pomme Bebe</a> may be the perfect palate primer for your baby.</p>

<p><strong>Pomme Bebe</strong> is the dream of Svetla Lazarova Kibota, a native of the beautiful Bulgarian countryside. Growing up she never heard the word organic, but the wholesome foods she ate as a child were just that. Free of harmful pesticides, grown fresh and local. This is the model for Pomme Baby as well. Svetla has teamed with Chef Laurent Brazier to create a unique gourmet baby food business. </p>

<p>In the <strong>Pomme Bebe</strong> <a href="http://www.pommebebe.com/visitus.php">Bebe Bar and Bebelounge</a> in Newport Beach California, baby guests can have a party or a playdate and enjoy a fresh seasonal menu of freshly prepared, flavorful and colorful pureed baby foods while the adults enjoy some fresh squeezed juice - though they may be tempted to steal a little of their kid's food!&nbsp; If you are lucky enough to live nearby, it is worth a trip in to sample the foods before you buy. <strong>Pomme Baby</strong> also offers curbside pickup for locals - no need to wake the baby and drag him inside, they'll meet you in your car. </p>

<p>The food that<strong> Pomme Bebe</strong> prepares for children is divided into ages and stages. Intro foods are single food basics (6 months plus), multi food blends (8 months plus) and chunkier tots meals (12 months plus).&nbsp; What all the foods have in common are the fabulous and fresh taste. At the recent Baby Celebration Show in LA I even observed adults going back for seconds. Besides me. </p>

<p><a href="http://celebritybabies.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/28/pommebaby2.jpg"><img title="Pommebaby2" height="135" alt="Pommebaby2" src="http://celebritybabies.typepad.com/reviews/images/2008/04/28/pommebaby2.jpg" width="150" border="0" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px" /></a> Even if you don't live anywhere near Newport Beach, you can still enjoy this fabulous gourmet organic baby food for your baby. <strong>Pomme Baby </strong>Foods are<a href="http://http//www.pommebebe.com/our_kitchen.php"> available online</a> ($3.25 - $4.50 per 4 oz jar) -- flash frozen and shipped on dry ice to your doorstep. We recently received a shipment and found the food easy to defrost and just so much more colorful and delicious than any jarred supermarket baby foods. My crew of testers fought for tasting rights. Everyone loved the rainbow colored purees. It's not every day that my kids fight over beets and pureed peas. I should note that the purees make a healthful addition into recipes for older kids as well, and if you don't have the time or inclination to shop at the local farmer's market and cook up your own organic purees to sneak a little healthfulness into your children's diet, then you should check this company out as well. </p>

        <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tessyandtab.com/tvturnoff/"><img src=http://www.tessyandtab.com/gifts/tt_tvkit.jpg align=right></a>A while back, <a href=http://www.mommieswithstyle.com/mtblog/2007/06/tessy_tab_reading_club_books_i.html>I wrote up Tessy & Tab</a>.  A Reading Club, if you sign up for their service, your child will receive two books a month in the mail from Tessy & Tab.  The books are for early readers and children ages 2-5.   It's a pretty neat little service - Nate loved getting his in the mail and finding out what books had arrived for him.  Each book teaches a couple of words and the illustrations are colorful and fun.   It's $48 for a year subscription (24 issues). </p>

<p>Now, in addition to the book subscription, they offer themed kits you can order as a bonus.  Of particular interest that I thought was cool were two kits in particular - the Money Manager Kit and the TV Turnoff Kit.</p>

<p>The Money Manager kit is $24.95 and comes with three Tessy and Tab books (about money), a Parents Guide to building early financial understanding in your children and a 3-part <a href=http://www.moonjar.com/>Save, Spend and Share MoonJar</a> bank.  We love the last one and we practice dividing money into each section often.  </p>

<p>The TV Turnoff Kit is $19.95 and comes with four books with Tessy and Tab being active, a Parents Guide to managing your kids TV time and a chart on the effects of TV. </p>

<p>Order the kits, the subscription or both on the <a href="http://www.tessyandtab.com/index.htm">Tessy and Tab site</a>.  Enter <b>MWS408</b> in the "Referral Source” box when you place your order for the TV Turnoff Kit before 5/31/08 and receive a free Tessy & Tab book called Fire Station Trip. Visit <a href="http://www.tessyandtab.com/firestation">www.tessyandtab.com/firestation</a> to see the real-world inspiration for this book and to print fire safety posters. </p>]]>
