The Nappy Sac
I was feeling stressed out, I looked awful, it was a bad hair day personified, there was clutter everywhere, and I felt horrible and disorganized. The mail arrived and there was a neat and attractive box addressed to me! I eagerly opened it, admiring the delightful packaging.

The gift card said it was an original Nappy Sac, made just for me. I smiled as I saw my initial embroidered on the cover. As I continued to open it up there was also a coin purse and a lovely little monogrammed wallet. There was one more gift enclosed, a coordinating tissue holder. I welcomed the opportunity to have this fresh package of tissues at hand as I dabbed my eyes through tears of joy.



I use my Nappy Sac every day and each time I use it there is something more I like about it. The darling cartwheel green fabric has been washed innumerable times and is as bright as the day it arrived. It holds its shape perfectly. The wrist strap is just the right size and it makes it so convenient for me to carry my Nappy Sac with full arms. That nifty little change purse holds my license, a credit card and a few dollars for easy purchases. I know it is always secure and neat with the Velcro strap and I love knowing just where everything is with one glance. It is so nice to whip out a fresh diaper with the changing pad and wipes all in one stop. I really like always having a fresh tissue in my purse in that precious tissue holder. When I get home it is a pleasant routine as I refill the pockets of the Nappy Sac in anticipation of the next time we are out.



Yes, I enjoy getting compliments on this very special accessory which was made just for me. I am now organized, coordinated and it makes me feel attractive and good about myself. Don't you know the gift I just love sending to my friends - of course, it is the Nappy Sac!

Mosh Babies

mosh (mŏsh)
n. An aggressive dance done at mental rock/punk concert.
Almost always done in a "pit" with extremely cool people who
you don't even know but who will look out for you!

From this frenzied pit of GenXers emerge two moms from Chicago with the coolest baby tees in hand. Kelly Cornolo and Mary Sanchez began Mosh Baby in 2005. Simple and straightforward, they sell a line of edgy character driven tees for babies and toddlers. With character like Dot (Her hair's just right, but she's not uptight, wholesome & fun-she likes everyone), Ivy (Too smart for her own good, too tall for her age, too cool for everyone), Crash (My way or the highway mommy! Pint size body, hulk size attitude. Loves his music fast and loud & that's about it) and Carlos (Two parts Elvis, one part Sinatra... super dapper, so smooth), it's without a doubt these tees will be a favorite with your punk baby.

Each tee has a temporary tattoo hangtag attached and comes wrapped in brown kraft paper with hemp like twine… very cool! But there's more- the shirts are the highest quality cotton and are manufactured in the USA. All the artwork is first hand drawn by tattoo artist, Patrick Cornolo, then printed on professional grade transfer paper (via laser printer) and heat pressed onto the shirt. Many tees made this way seem stiff and bulky but Mosh Baby's tees are not and they still look great after continuous washings.

Available in an array of dynamic colors, Mosh Baby tees come in sizes from 6 months to 6 years. And be sure to check out their bibs and hats too!

What's new for the fall?
Look for Mosh Baby's brand new designs: 3 Monkeys, Ganesh and Tiki. At Mosh Baby you won't find any sweet strawberry girl characters or red furry puppet-like characters. But if you are looking to rock out your tot in the coolest and hippest styles… Mosh Baby is your kind of store!

Crocs
Crocs Unisex Beach Clog
I love my crocs! Why did I wait so long to get them?

Well, here is the story! The strap on my sandals broke and I needed something to get me to the beach, over the rocks and safely on my beach towel. I looked at them in the store and said to myself - Why Not! I chose the red ones - was that because my feet are petite? (Not exactly) Was it because the price was right? (Yes) Was it because they looked like fun? (Yes!) May I say - they are more than fun - they are FUN!

I leave them outside the kitchen door and slip them on for work and play in the yard, a walk to the beach, a trip to the store and yes, a summer night outdoor concert.

Kids -Cayman- Crocs
They are hygienic (just hose them down), comfortable (the best), sturdy, cool and (now I know) fashionable! They are also a great conversation starter. "Where did you get your crocs?" I have received more compliments this past week than I have this entire year.

Did I buy them for the kids? Of course, they have never said thank you so many times in one day!

I know it is September and I am still a free spirit but wait until you see me in the fall in my ballet inspired Crocs Prima! I think I will go for the silver.

At just $30 for women and $25 for kids, why not buy a few of the hot 14 different colors?

Sweet Dreams Maternity Wear

If you are looking for a flattering, comfortable, and affordable change to the T-shirt and boxers you usually wear to bed…look no further than the Sweet Dreams Maternity Wear line.

I treated myself with two of their styles…the “White Cotton Short Sleeve 2-piece set” and the “White Cotton Dress”. Both fit perfectly, which was an unexpected and wonderful surprise, given my expanding, 9-month, goddess-like body. (Yeah, right!)

Both are made of a soft cotton material with 5% lycra for stretch and comfort. The stitching and hems are top quality, obviously constructed by an experienced seamstress.

But it was the "little touches” that sold me on this line. The 2-piece set was fashioned with pretty, mother-of-pearl snaps, and the Dress was topped with a beautiful islet-like lace. These two pieces will definitely be included in my 4th trimester arsenal…though I hope that trimester is a short one!

They come in 6 great designs and gift certificates are available too!
