Sweaty Baby

April 26, 2011 by

I have a very important question that I need answered and I’m calling on all you moms out there since I’m new at this. See that little guy down there?  He is uber hot natured at his ripe old age of almost 7 months. We aren’t even in the heat of the summer and the poor little guy has almost over heated several times just from riding in his carseat. I turn the AC on full blast and that still doesn’t seem to help much. Do any of you have any advice for this? Any breathable carseats you can recommend? Does this carseat cooler thing or something like it work? HALP!

Etsy Spotlight: Sir Bubbadoo

April 14, 2011 by

I LOVE LOVE LOVE when I find a store that has super cute modern baby goods.  So I had to share when I came across Sir Bubbadoo. You will definitely want to check this store out.  Every. Single. Thing. in it is ADORABLE.  I even went so far as to scour the sold items and then moved on to the blog.

From the Kitchen of Ella

April 13, 2011 by

I’ve stated before that I am a sucker for cool packaging, so when I saw these brightly colored pouches of ALL NATURAL and ORGANIC baby food on the shelves of my Tarjay I was ALL. OVER. IT. Ella’s Kitchen is co-created by an 11 year old little girl named Ella and you can read the story over here. I am all about helping an 11 year old sister out… and my AJ seems to take these down like no other, so I am sold. Here are some of our favs.

  1. Apples and Bananas
  2. Sweet Potato Pumpkin Apple and Blueberries
  3. Strawberries and Apples– AJ wasn’t a fan of strawberries overall, but mama sure did like the taste of this one!
  4. Broccoli Pears and Peas
  5. Peaches and Bananas– This is the ONLY way he will eat peaches. They are a no go otherwise.

Baby Flops

April 11, 2011 by

I have no idea how people keep shoes on baby’s pudgy little feet. If you have any tips, please let me know because shoes are flying off left and right over here. Even with that considered, I am thinking that this summer will be the perfect time to introduce AJ to his mama’s shoe of choice: the flip flop. Some of these baby flops are needed in big people sizes they are so flippin cute!

  1. Green and Navy Lizard Flops
  2. Braided Faux Leather Flops
  3. Pink and Orange Giraffe Print Flops
  4. Turquoise and Green Zebra Flops
  5. Red White Flops
  6. Plaid Flops

Etsy Spotlight: Tweet Baby Designs

April 7, 2011 by

I have a teethingasaurus at my house. It’s a new beast that’s turned my sweet angel faced baby into a drool covered piranha seeking anything and everything he can put in his mouth STAT. I had heard the idea of a teething necklace before, but when I came across these from Tweet I was head over heels. I have all but basically stopped wearing jewelry because my little one tugs on everything or puts it in his mouth. This would be for mommy AND the drool king. I didn’t even think twice, just snatched one up immediately. Perfecto!

  1. Watermelon Stripe Chomping Necklace
  2. Grape Chomping Necklace
  3. Chomping Necklace in Green
  4. Dreamsicle Chomping Necklace
  5. Cherry Chomping Necklace
  6. Turquoise Chomping Necklace

Etsy Spotlight: The Miniature Knit Shop

March 31, 2011 by

I ran across the booties from The Miniature Knit Shop first and just about died from the cuteness.  Then, when I saw them paired with the hats…died again.  OMG.  I mean if you aren’t dying right now, you just aren’t human.

Boy After My Own Weiner Loving Heart

March 22, 2011 by

I’ve made it pretty clear in the past that my top choice of animal is a weiner dog. I own three and while they drive me to the brink of my sanity almost daily and my mother is convinced that since the baby came that I don’t love them, I do love them. See Mom, if I didn’t love them they would be dead by now. Dead because I would have killed them with my bare hands.

My love is so deep that it wasn’t enough to have 3 of those fools running around like they own the place and a weiner dog themed baby nursery… I need my son to be loaded up with weiner dog gear too. Here are some super adorable finds, whether you are a weiner lover or not. Feel better now, Mom?

  1. Target, Weiner Tee
  2. Target, Weiner Romper
  3. Etsy, Weiner Onesie
  4. Target, Weiner Neck Support
  5. Target, Weiner Tshirt Romper
