Lighted Umbrellas for Rainy April Showers

Posted Tue, 03/30/2010 - 09:05 by Staff

April showers bring May flowers ... but they also bring the need to use umbrellas. If you have to be out at night during a rain shower, why not make it fun? We love these "lighted" umbrellas to lighten and brighten your way.

These umbrellas by Bright Night have graced the pages of VOGUE, ELLE and INSTYLE. The umbrellas come with the cool "umbrella quiver" and sterling silver clasp.

What a perfect and unusual gift for Mothers Day! And they come in a variety of colors and patterns. $38

We admit it. We love fun boots for kids and we even love them for ourselves. I was so jealous when the little froggie boots came out just for children. Now there are, of course, boots for us big kids too.

Time-Out Timers for Kids' Timeouts

Posted Wed, 09/09/2009 - 09:55 by Staff

So cute and maybe the kids won't balk so much at having a time-out with these little guys! Although we don't like to put any child in "time-out", there are occasions when it is warranted. Add a little whimsey to the situation and try these cute Time-Out Timers. Several designs but our favorite is the Pirate.

And even if you don't have any kids, wouldn't a collection of these be cute up on a shelf? Visiting children would love them!

These adorable timers let you know it is time by moving their head and humming a samba tune. Perfect for letting your child know their "time-out" is over. Designs for both boys and girls. From France and available from NYCity Limit $36.

What kid, big or little, won't want to use these fun Dinnersaur forks and spoons?  Use these at home or pack inside this great eco-friendly lunch kit.  And if it's nice weather, even when it gets a little chilly out, pack the kids lunch in this great little lunch kit for a fun outdoor picinic in the backyard.

We love these Eco-friendly lunchbox options from Kids Konserve.  The 100% cotton bags are a reusable alternative to plastic baggies, plastic wrap and foil. Made from recycled, FDA approved, non-toxic, non-leaching, recyclable PE plastic. This product does not contain Bisphenol-A (BPA) and is Phthalate free.  And what fun designs ... this one has cute caterpillars.

Puddle Gear Kids Rain Jackets and Pants Product Review- Let Them Have Fun- Even in the Rain

Posted Fri, 03/13/2009 - 14:48 by kristin
It is a rainy Friday afternoon. For some parents it is the worst kind of day. A day when the kids will be stuck inside and climbing the walls-literally. I have 3 very rambunctious young boys and to keep them holed up inside our house on rainy days, even cold and rainy days is difficult. I knew my boys would beg me to let them go outside and play in the rain. But I had another reason to pull on my purple dotted rain boots and go with them, as I was going to test out the Puddle Gear Rain Gear for this review. So I took advantage of the rain and did a little experiment with the Rain Gear.

Wow Baby Bibs with Reusable Liner and Bib Liners Product Review

Posted Fri, 01/23/2009 - 13:18 by kristin

Mommie911.com had the opportunity to review a Bib and Bib Liners from Wow Baby.

The Wow Baby Bibs are lovely, stylish bibs that are Made in the USA and are 100% cotton.







How the Bib Works

The bib is placed on baby and is attached on the upper left side by heavy duty velcro.

A Young baby or toddler can not pull the bib off by tugging, but of course like any bib, if they are old enough to pull the end of the bib closure they may be able to get it off.

The bib can easily be washed as with any cotton bib.

The bibs have 3 snaps that attach to the reusable plastic liner that will keep your baby's clothes dry, even if the bib gets wet and covered with food.
