I used to have this recurring nightmare. It involved going to Disneyland with my kids. We'd all be having fun until we got back to the stroller parking area, after a ride. I'd attempt to reclaim my stroller. Only suddenly there would be twenty other strollers parked there that looked exactly like mine. They'd have unfamiliar stains and other kids' sweatshirts in them. A feeling of panic would wash over me. The cure? BabiePlates.
BabiePlates are not the flimsy kiddo license plates of your childhood. They are oh so much cooler and more substantial. And European. Who can help but rubberneck when they see a set of cool black and white European license plates? They just smack of high end, don't they?And they allow you to immediately identify your stroller in a crowd, deter theives and provide added safety/reflection for nighttime strolls.
Each BabiePlates license plate is custom made with your child's name and date of birth. You can further customize them with a flag or even a picture of your child. Use them on your stroller or find somewhere else to hang your plates. When our kids are older and out of their strollers, we plan use the plates to decorate their rooms. In the meanwhile, my son delights in seeing his name and that of his baby brother on the double jogger. It also helps end arguments over who sits where.
So many of my neighbors have asked me where to get these that I am thinking that we will make them our new standard baby gift.

Some of the companies I get to review have such dreamy stuff that I seriously have to leave my wallet at home when I go look at it, lest I get into too much trouble. Such is the case with 10Grain, a company that makes a line of furniture and decor for kids. I admit it, I want every piece. In fact their Paul Frank wall stickers and simple bent plywood pieces inspired the entire design of my sons' room. It's almost complete now, I just need to to purchase a side table from them! Here is my original review of 10Grain.
Now it's the kids turn to inspire the grown-ups. 10Grain is running a contest and calling all kids to submit the Perfect Playhouse Design. Along with Coochicoos they want to know exactly what your kids think would make their vision complete. Winners will be selected in the 6 and under and 7-12 yr old categories. Prizes include the softy table and popstick chairs from 10Grain and Boon's Animal Bag (my review of these is also coming soon!)
Hey all - t-shirt company Beautiful Futures is closing its doors. They've been on iVillage, Access Hollywood, sold in Nordstrom and of course featured here on Mommies with Style.
They're liquidating inventory as the owner is closing shop. You can use coupon code "Mommies" to receive 50% off everything - get 'em while you still can! The coupon expires April 12th so shop now.
Hey guys - meant to blog this yesterday. Stride Rite began it's buy one get one half off sale yesterday. Now that I'm typing, I'm wondering if this is national or local to Philly so if it's not national, some non-Philly type can email me or post on our message boards to let me know and I can make a note here.
But check out your local Stride Rite just in case - it's a great sale and a good time to stock up on summer sandals and shoes. I know that around here, it runs from April 1-15th.
My personal favorite are these TT Argo Sneaker/Sandals. I got a pair for Nate last year and they were fantastic for summer camp. They ask for sneakers only at camp but when it's the dead of summer, it's hard to convince your child to put on socks and heavy sneakers. These ones from Stride Rite were perfect as they are sandal-y but closed-toe. I bought two more pairs this year - one for Cole and another in a larger size for Nate. I also notice they have them in pink for girls.
These keep hitting my inbox from the Disney Store. Today only, 25% off sitewide - use coupon code APRIL25. Use the same coupon tomorrow for 20% off. Stack it with coupon code SHIPFOR5 to ship everything for $5.
I recently took my 2-month old son on a weekend visit to see a girlfriend in Seattle. The plane ride was only a little over two hours, but since I was traveling by myself, I worried about carrying all the stuff the weekend would require. My clothes, his clothes, umbrella (it is Seattle), diapers, wipes, noise machine, pack-n-play, stroller, car seat…I had visions of the looks of sympathy I would receive trying to lug all this and a kid through the airport by myself. Then two fortuitous events occurred: first, my girlfriend was able to borrow a car seat which allowed me to leave the car seat and the stroller at home; second, I met the Nap-Sac. In my life as a product-tester, there have been very few products I have come across that truly have blown me away – the Nap-Sac by Lilly Gold definitely makes the list. Instead of being burdened by luggage and gear, I traveled with one suitcase, my son in a Bjorn and the Nap-Sac for my weekend away.
The Nap-Sac is a combined diaper bag, changing station and portable bassinet. Unfolded, it works as a four-sided bassinet with a padded bottom and two zebra-print sheets. Collapse the sides in, zip it up and fold the bag in half and it’s easily carried over the shoulder or messenger-style across the body. Made of durable nylon canvas, the bag is surprisingly light, even with all six of the expandable pockets packed full. It doubled as my purse and was able to carry everything my son and I needed on the plane including my wallet, cosmetic case, reading material, extra clothes, diapers, wipes, and blankets.
My first test of the Nap-Sac came in the airport bathroom for a quick change of my son’s blow-out diaper (moments before boarding the plane, of course). Easy to set-up and access diapers and wipes in the surrounding pockets, I was especially thankful for the one waterproof, zippered pocket to contain his soiled outfit. Once on the plane, I was also pleasantly surprised to find that it fit nearly perfectly across the airplane seats (I did have a whole row to myself). This allowed for easy in-seat in-flight diaper changes and a place for me to put my son down when he eventually tired of peek-a-boo with the seatmate behind us. If this wasn’t convenient enough, in all of the pockets surrounding my sleeping child, I had everything I needed, easy to reach and close at hand. Swaddle blanket? Check. Magazine? Lip gloss? No prob. Extra socks or binky? Right here. No rifling through multiple bags. No pulling items out of overhead storage. Though it helped that my son made nary a peep the whole time, the Nap-Sac made my flight almost enjoyable. Once we arrived at our destination, my son happily called the Nap-Sac home for his naps and nighttime slumber. I was glad to have him safe and contained for sleeping and cutting out the weight and set-up of a pack-n-play made traveling simpler, lighter and easier.
The Nap-Sac is the brainchild of mother, grandmother and entrepreneur Lilly Gold. Motivated by the birth of her first grandchild and the sub-par quality of the available kid’s gear she saw, Gold began developing a number of innovative multi-tasking products to make life with kids-especially traveling with kids-easier. “My team and I develop the products that every parent looks for-products that fill a need while having multiple uses-getting the most for their money and not sacrificing safety or design,” says Gold. “The Nap-Sac came about after I took my granddaughter to a Neiman Marcus Last Call Sale as an infant. She was on the floor of the dressing room on a blanket amongst the pins. At the same time I realized how dirty the pull down changing tables in the public bathrooms were. I went home and designed a diaper bag that would hold her safely on floors, chairs, tables, or changing surfaces.”
So say goodbye to lugging around a pack-n-play. Bid adieu to carrying a separate travel bed, diaper bag and changing pad. Whether you’re visiting grandma by plane or just going across the street for dinner with friends, the Nap-Sac in red or black is a must-have for making traveling with young infants easier. Also check out the Nap-Sac Backpack in black or camo that allows you to carry the bag as a shoulder bag or backpack.
Lilly Gold is offering Mommies With Style readers 10% off listed prices and free shipping if you order any Lilly Gold products (including her award-winning Sit ‘n’ Stroll) through www.lillygold.com and enter code “Stylemoms08”. Pick one up now for all your spring and summertime travels.
Inca Kids offers Adorable, Fair Trade Toys and Clothes
Looking for a gift that stands out? Sick of the mass market and want to give a gift that feels a little more personal, hands on and earth friendly to boot?
Inca Kids offers fair trade, hand made and fashionable apparel, accessories, and artisan toys. Their products are made of natural fibers and materials such as the 100% alpaca or ovine wool and 100% cotton that are their trademark in apparel and accessories.
Their line of toys include more than 25 hand knitted finger puppets characters (from a butterfly to a fireman, a llama to a clown fish), traditional musical instruments. Their charming line of "Arpillera" items include a storybook, a mobile, a backpack, a small bag and tapestries.
The "Arpilleras" are exquisitely detailed hand-sewn three dimensional textile pictures that illustrate the stories of the lives of the people in Peru: Stories of planting and harvesting, stories of spinning and weaving wool; stories of country life, of tending llamas, sheep and goats; stories of weddings and fiestas. Their artists painstakingly handstitch every single detail.
All the Inca Kids products are crafted by unprivileged Peruvian artisans in different parts of the country. Many of them work in cooperatives located in the dusty shantytowns of poor and displaced families that ring the capital city of Lima with unemployment near 80% and few sources of income. Their project, provides a fair wage to artisans allowing them to support their families and educate their children, providing a little better living standard.
I was extremely impressed with the gorgeous quality and craftmanship of the items I received from Inca Kids. They are heirloom items and the hand knit items are incredibly soft to the touch. The finger puppets are just adorable!
Mommies with Style Save 10% when you enter the Coupon Code STYLE. Additionally, orders over $100 will receive two free finger puppets!

I first glimpsed Natursutten pacifiers at the Mom-2-Be show in Los Angeles and my radar was activated. There was something rather appealling about these simple, squishy binkies. No bling, no colors, but a pure simplicity that is refreshingly modern. And more importantly it was the fact that they are better for babies that caught my attention.
Non-toxic Natursutten pacifiers are made from pure natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensi. The Natursutten pacifiers are softer than silicone, and they are extremely hygienic because they are molded in one piece. This means that there are no joints or cracks where dirt and bacteria can accumulate.
These pacifiers are:
*Free of Allergy causing substances
*Free of Artificial color
*Free of Cancer causing substances
*Free of Hormone disturbing substances
*Free of Chemical softeners
*Free of Parabens, PVC, BPA and phthalates
In addition to all this, the soft material and shape of the Natursutten pacifier has several advantages. The pacifier easiliy conforms to baby¹s natural mouth movements without leaving any marks on baby's sweet face. Despite the softness of the material, it is very strong and has passed strengh "stretch tests". Above all this may be the only binky on the market that is 100% natural, environment friendly and biodegradable. That's a happy mouthfull. Natursutten pacifiers are available in two shapes and several sizes, from Generation Orange online.
I love having two boys, don't get me wrong. But doing that I do, every now and then there is a site or a product that makes me just drool over the girls' stuff. And Pumpkin Noodle is one - if I had a little girl, I'd just be all over these clothes. They are too adorable.
From the ribbon pants to the Mon Amie ribbon tees, these are so fun. And I can still find some cute stuff on their site for boys too - tees with some sassy sayings are perfect for boys.
Great quality products, free shipping and 10% off with coupon code MWS10 (expires end of January). Shop today on the Pumpkin Noodle site. Their products make great gifts too - everything comes in their trademark purple box tied, your product wrapped in tulle and the box tied with the Pumpkin Noodle ribbon.
Garnet Hill offers incredible markdowns, and codes!
Some deals seem too good to be true--and then you get lucky and they are true. Like Garnet Hill's unbelieveable "further reduced" section, where they've slashed many desireable items down to below $5! Why do I need a lollipop tree? I'm not certain, but for $4, why not? You'll also find lots of holiday items, accessories and even some clothing marked down like crazy.
Use code G6KMENT for $10 off $50 or M7KS132 for $20 off $100.
And, for anyone curious, yes I did finally purchase the Just for Kicks comforter that Carson has been loving in each catalog. At $100 off, who couldn't use another set?
Thanks to Lisa, owner of Picadil.com for sending over this great deal. Endless.com is currently running a great promotion - they have their negative $5 overnight shipping going on right now. Put something in your cart, select overnight shipping and they subtract $5 off your order. (Not bad, right?)
Anyway, on top of that, many of the Robeez are currently marked down to $20.77 - so with overnight shipping they are only $15.77 Stock up!
I hate this time of year. It's that time when I've spent a ton of money over the holidays and really shouldn't be anywhere near a shopping cart virtually or otherwise - yet all these stores put up great sales and well, who can resist:
Up to 50% off at Vincent on several styles: Vincent Shoes
Pick up some stylin' work out clothes from Lucy to help with those New Years Resolutions. I just used these codes myself last night and I know they work and they work together: 0307lifetime for 20% off non-sale items; 30% off on TOP of already marked down/sales items by using coupon code: 0108dsale ($5 flat shipping)
Up to 50% off on Christmas and many non-holiday items too at Crate and Barrel
Buy Costumes - who can resist this one, on top of the clearance prices, use coupon code eoy40 for an additional 40% off. All I can say is that if I had a girl, I'd be ordering all of these princess costumes that girls seem to wear year-round.
Here's a thought for a great holiday baby gift - a Svan Bouncer. I love the way that these look .

I love the luxe simplicity of these gorgeous leather bags and this is the perfect time to order one. Here is a little more information about the quilt sets:
