I have found with this new baby of mine, that he is not an easy sleeper. He is not one of those infants that you can put him down and he will just sleep. After 5-10 minutes in anything he cries. Vibrating seat? Boring. Swing? Okay for a while but then he is done. I wondered how I would ever get this baby to sleep and then I found pippalily slings.

Pippalily was started by a mom whose daughter always wanted to be worn. She couldn’t find the unique and stylish slings she wanted so she made them! These slings are pouches so they are easy to get baby in and out and there are no rings to adjust. Those rings confuse me anyway.
I love that this sling had a deeper “seat” for the baby. It makes me feel that my baby is more secure.
I wear my baby all the time at parties, to the park, it is easy for me to use, K loves it and I have my hands free for my other two kids.

The thing I love most about these slings is that all of the fabric and patterns are simply gorgeous. The silk brocade is fancy enough to wear to a wedding or any other event as well as to the playground. I have received so many compliments on my Chocolate Brown Dragon sling! I love the Morning Glory Coral sling too. I want them all!

Get one for your husband for Father’s Day! Pippalily makes great slings in a masculine camouflage print or a plain black cotton sling. Don’t know how to use a sling? Don’t worry they have instructional how-to videos online for you.
These are going to be my new gift to get for baby showers.

When I was new to breastfeeding, I would find it a little difficult sometimes. Especially when I was out in public.
Where do I breastfeed that is safe, and private?
How do I nurse without my breastfeeding pillows?
Also, how can I keep myself covered in public.

These are all commonly asked questions by other nursing mothers, I have recently discovered. When I came across the breastfeeding bonnet by MoBoleez, I knew I wanted to try it.

MoBoleez was founded by a nursing mother of two (you know how I love to support mom owned businesses!) who wanted to design something unique for the breastfeeding mom. This 70% bamboo and 30% cotton hat fits perfectly on baby’s head but has a large, floppy brim to cover mom’s breast. The hats come in pink, blue, green, cream and red, and each has a very cute designs on the top and a “hi mummy” on the brim for mom.
The hat is much softer then I thought and it held up well after a trip in the washing machine.

I have a cover up that I use to breastfeed in public but with warmer weather approaching, I think it would be hot for both me and K. I love the idea of this hat, it keeps the sun out of the baby’s face and gives me the privacy I want. Great idea and well executed.
Go order one today for yourself or as a great baby shower gift!

Babies love to put everything in their mouths, all moms know that. Babies will put any fuzz, piece of food or even your hair in their mouths, just like a puppy! In addition to having to wear my hair back, I had to limit my jewelry wearing when I had the twins because any dangle earrings, or necklace went right into their mouths. Gross and dangerous!
Now there is jewelry that is not only adorable, but is OK for babies to put into their mouths.

Smart mom jewelry makes non-toxic, phthalate free, silicone teething jewelry for mom. The material is non-toxic, latex-free, food–safe, even dishwasher-friendly.
Whether it is a pendant or a matching bangle bracelets, all are cute for mom and safe for baby. No more picking up the teethers from the floor and having to clean them off before you can give them back to your child, now they are attached to you.
I also love that this is a mom owned business!
The best part of it?

I love my teething bling and I have had so many other mothers come up to me and asking me what they were and where I got them from.
Go order away, they make great shower gifts. With Mother’s Day coming up get some for your babysitters, Grandmothers or Aunts.
Plus, they are a perfect way to keep a teething baby occupied!

Green Toys is a company that can help you with that. We had the chance to check out the dump truck and the jump rope. Both were instant hits in our house with me and my kids!

Green Toys are all made from recycled milk jugs! The milk jugs are reprocessed into high density polythylene which is “considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around”. They are also made in the USA. In addition, all of their packaging is made from recycled corrugated boxes and is 100% recyclable. No plastics, or metal at all. Lastly, all Green Toys are tested in “nationally recognized, independent, third-party labs”, right here in the USA.
They contain no trace amounts of BPA or phthalates! They’re also free of any external coatings, so you don’t have to worry about anything chipping off into your children’s mouths!

I love that I don’t have to worry about the safety of these toys. I also love that since they are made from plastic the dump truck is light enough for my one year old to pick it up and carry it around safely. The jump rope has adjustable handles which is great for our house since our twins are 3 inches apart.
We love these toys and can’t wait to add to our collection!

Their goal is to provide the highest quality available tees for babies, toddlers, and adults. Their tees are made from 100% ring spun cotton which is noticeably softer and higher in quality than regular cotton. They have many unique shirts for infants, toddlers, bigger kids and even Mom and Dad!
The mutiples shirts and caps would have been perfect for my twins!

The shirts are soft for baby and have the right amount of stretch to them. I love the leggings they have to go with the shirts, it makes a perfect outfit!
If you are going to be buying a shirt for yourself I suggest buying a size up, the shirts seem to run a little small.
Don’t forget to check out their maternity wear, doggie tees, diaper bags and organic section. On this site there is something for everyone!

Perfect for baby showers, or for siblings and parents, Little Showoffs is a great one stop shop!

I know I am always on the hunt for comfortable, stylish clothing for my kids that holds up and doesn’t break my bank account. When I was introduced to Mini Boden, I was more than pleasantly surprised.
Like its popular clothing line for adults, this site is jam packed with style.

From swim trunks to cotton dresses, from baby rompers to diaper bags, Mini Boden has it all! Not only are their clothes adorable but their bright colors and designs made me a fan the first time I saw their web site.
The clothes I received to try were of great quality. I was very surprised how soft they were. The first test of any clothing is how well they washed and these washed great with no shrinking.
The only problem with this clothing line is that I want one of everything for my three kids!

The rompers are great for kids and I love how they look and how comfortable they are for my baby. I also love that they carry baby surf suits, I usually cannot find them in baby or toddler sizes.
The girls section is filled with things my six year old would covet and even have great accessories and ski wear!
The boys clothing is still fun without being babyish or too mature looking, which is hard to pull off.
Mini Boden is my new go-to website for all my kids clothing- especially the sale section (shhh!)

Skip Hop WishBone Bike- 3 Bikes in 1 !
Unlike any other running bikes, the Wishbone bike evolves with a child’s different stages of development.
It starts at age 1 as a trike, converts to a running bike as the child grows, and by four to five years old, the ‘wishbone’ frame is flipped, making the Wishbone Bike one of the largest running bikes on the market.
With its environmentally sustainable design and innovative 3-bikes-in-1 feature, the Wishbone bike, designed in New Zealand, really is the ultimate pre-bike.
It is recommended for ages 1-5.

I LOVE this Radio Flyer tricycle, it is exactly like the one I had as a child! Much easier on the pocketbook at $85.
This is a classic Retro red and white styling and frame, it has controlled turning radius for safety and balance, Ringing chrome plated bell and a adjustable seat for different heights.
Perfect for ages 2 to 5 years old! These are a little heavy compared to newer types of trikes, but there is a reason these are a classic!

Lastly, I love the look of this Wheely Bug. Looks like a bug, rolls like a car. The Wheely Bug from Prince Lionheart is a cute wheeled push car for kids up to 50 lbs. The seat of this light push trike is made of compressed foam, padded with a 1″ layer of soft sponge. The Wheely Bug comes in three designs and two sizes.

Tell me, what kind of tricycles do you have in your house?

Looking for some adorable hair acessories for your little girls? Maybe you are searching for a great new gift for the girl who has everything. Either way I have got a great web site for you to check out: Lyla Lou’s.
From their site: We started off making hair accessories for our girls, hoping to make something that was a little different and better quality than what is already out there. We got so excited about what we were making, that we started selling them to friends and family nearby. From there, the products started to sell themselves. We have had so much fun making them that we wanted to make them available to everyone.

These headbands and hair clips are adorable! I love their bright colors and the fact that the accessories can be worn by your daughter as well as you! They are constructed from metal, so they’re less likely to stretch out. They offer clips, headbands and baby headbands (coming soon!) and they are reasonable priced. My daughter has already checked out the web site and delared she wants one of everything and I cannot blame her!
Looking for something even more special, they do custom orders so be sure to check that out!

These would be perfect for every little girl I know and I am planning on wearing this to a wedding we are going to next month.
So much fun!
