Infant Playmats by Kaloo

It's always a challeng to find a truly great and original baby gift. This plush and luxurious baby playmat is sure to fit the bill and thrill any new parent. This Kaloo playmat is unbelievably soft and plush with touch and sound areas to stimulate baby. The unique rounded safety borders prevent baby from rolling away, and two criss-crossing arcs hold five detachable hanging toys entertain baby. I have found that it is also perfect for tummy time or learning to sit up. I have given this as a baby shower gift, and the mommy has always loved it. It looks so comfy and cozy that I find myself wishing Kaloo made such a thing made for adults!

ShooFoo - Perfect first shoes for little feet!

Cute and affordable - what more can I ask for? As I first time mom and not knowing anything else, I always bought my kids the more popular Robeez brand of leather baby shoes. When I discovered ShooFoo, I was more than thrilled. While these pure calf leather baby booties have the exact same dynamics as the more well known brand, they are much more reasonably priced. The greatest thing about them happens to be their one major difference - the adorable logo on each shoe is designed to actually face baby. This way, your little one gave entertain himself by looking at the graphic, which is no longer upside down. ShooFoo has designed their shoes to move naturally with baby's feet as they are learning to walk, as recommended by pediatricians. They have slip resistant suede footing and an elasticized ankle for easy on and off. I keep my kids in these ShooFoo booties for quite a while, which lets me hold off on buying "real" shoes until they are actually running around. When they are infants, I prefer these to socks alone in the colder weather because they keep their feet warmer, and as they are starting to walk, they are simply perfect. They seem to love wearing them, and the fact that they are so reasonably priced and super cute is just icing on the cake!

Adorable Boy's Clothes at an Afforable Price by Tea Collection!

While it's definitely true that little girl's clothing is just too cute to resist (as shown by the size of my daughter's wardrobes) most of my friends happen to have little boys, and many complain that they can't seem to find the type of cute clothing they would like for their sons to wear. This is why I am thrilled by the wonderful spring and summer collection offered by Tea Collection, one of my very favorite designers. This collection is inspired by the Mediterranean Coast, so most of the pieces include simple whites, vibrant blues, and stunning accent colors. Not only is the clothing unique and simply adorable, but everything is also wonderfully afforable! Who can ask for more? Being a mom of all girls, I have turned all of my friends with little boys onto the Tea Collection line, and they can't get enough. Tea Collection's array of shorts, T-shirts, cargo pants, bathing suits, and button down shirts is really just too cute. Although I love clothing for little girls, I have to admit that when I look at Tea Collection for boy's, I secretly wish that I had a little guy to dress up.

A Perfect Collection by Room Seven

I am the mom of two very girly little girls - with a third on the way! My 4 year old has been on a pants strike for the past two years, and my 2 year old is quickly following suit, so I am always on the lookout for the perfect toddler dress or skirt. Thank goodness for the wonderful selection of dresses, skirts, and tops by Room Seven. I fell in love with every piece, and so did my girls, which has helped us to avoid many morning arguments over what they are going to wear. As long as I lay out a Room Seven dress, we are good to go! The Saffran Skirt has quickly become an all time favorite, paired up with the Tila Embroidered Robin Shirt. I have a hard time keeping this outfit clean because it is worn so much. I personally love both the adorable red flowered Daryl Dress, which my daughter recently wore to her 4th birthday party, and the floral print Dot Dress, that she will be wearing to her preschool graduation. If I had to choose a favorite skirt from the collection, I would have to go with the Simran Skirt, which my daughter wears to playdates, but I can also dress it up for fancier occasions.

Right now we are offering a special 15% off on all of the spring and selections from Room Seven. If you shop by June 14th, you will get some of the cutest clothing around for some of the best prices. I don't know what I would do without Room Seven this season. Anything that makes getting both girls dressed each morning is good enough for me!

Wow - Children's Swimwear with 50+ UV protection!

I love everything about the summer. The beach, the water, the sand, the sun.... And so do my girls. Unfortunately, the one drawback to summertime is my constant worrying about protecting my children's skin from harmful sun rays. Although I may have sunned my body to a golden brown when I was growing up (or in some cases, fried myself to a painful red), I am determined to protect my children's young skin from the same fate. Yes, I could be considered the sunblock mom with the amount that I apply on my kids, but then along came Snapper Rock. This is one of my favorite finds to date! This super cool line of children's swimwear is not only adorable, but it also provides 50+ UV protection from the sun, which means that over 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays are blocked. One of the greatest things about this line is that the styles and color combinations are so cute! Snapper Rock offers board shorts for boys and girls, rash guards in boths short and long sleeves, and one piece zippered baby swimsuits for the littlest beach goers out there. I know I have already stocked up for my girls, and since they are cute (and pink) they actually like wearing them. Hey, who knows, I may even save a little money on sunblock this season!

A Word About Sunblock: My sister is a plastic surgeon and since my children were born, she has badgered me about the importance of using a sunblock that has at least 10% zinc oxide as a main ingredient. Apparently, while most sunblocks will prevent the skin from appearing red, only those with zinc oxide prevent the sun's damaging rays from actually being absorbed into the skin. She recommended that I use Blue Lizard Sunblock, and just recently I discovered that Trader Joe's (for those of us lucky enough to have a Trader's Joes nearby) makes a sunblock that has 10% zinc oxide. It is also cheaper than Blue Lizard. Being the water babies that they are, these are the only two sunblocks that I feel will safely protect my children from the sun.

Find the perfect spring dress with Tea Collection (and save 15%!)

What a beautiful assortment of dresses for little girls from one of my very favorite designers! As usual, the only drawback with the spring line from Tea Collection is that it's hard to choose just one. Although I do try to resist raiding our inventory for my two very girlie little girls, this time I couldn't resist. One of my personal favorite is the Noor Lawn Dress because it can dressed up or worn casually, which works out well since my four year old pink fanatic can't get enough of her dress. Other mommies are always asking me about the Noor dresses whenever my girls wear them. I also couldn't pass on the white with blue trim Aegean dress, which is just so sweet and simple that it makes my (extremely mischievous) two year old daughter look like a little angel. For birthday pictures, which happened to fall in April, I chose the Topkapi Palace dress. Both the style of the dress and the beautiful greens and purples really make this dress simply charming - perfect for any little princess!

From now until June 14th (while supplies last) we have discounted our entire stock of Tea Collection dresses, so shop now to save 15%. I guarantee that you will love whichever dress you choose, although picking a favorite is sure to be quite a challenge!
