Strollometer

If you are looking for the perfect gift for the new Mom and Dad look no further. Simply direct your mouse to this trendy stroller accessory. Yes, the Strollometer® is the world's first wireless computer/speedometer designed to fit on any child's stroller.

It installs in a snap (without any tools) and once installed measures speed, distance, time and temperature. What a great reassurance to know the actual degrees outside as the energetic "pusher" tends to work up a good sweat as opposed to the "pushee" who is simply along for the ride!

Another great feature is the clock function which displays the time of day at a simple glance. The more technically oriented will especially enjoy the functions which display maximum, current and average speed as well as trip distance, daily distance and trip time.

The Strollometer® is the winner of the 2006 JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association) Innovation Award. It was invented by Adi Weber and her husband Dan who wanted to know if the stroller walks with their new baby daughter would measure up to Adi's work outs in the gym. Hence their trademark, "Stroll Back into Shape".
This product is a true enhancement to the quality of life and a gift to be appreciated. I appreciate finding that special gift which benefits the entire family. Now I am waiting for an invitation to join in the walk!



On sale for $39.95 with free shipping.
Three fabulous color choices: Green, Blue or Lavender

Trendy Tadpole

For those about to read my review, I salute you.
Caution: We roll today to the guitar bite, yeah!

Warning signs:
- If your tot only falls asleep to the sound of "Shake A Leg",
- If your tot winks at you with a thumb up when you tell him/her "Baby, Please Don't Go",
- If your tot is marching around the house every Saturday night with a protest sign saying "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution",
- If your tot knew his/her AC/DC before his/her ABC…

Remedy:
…Then stay tuned, I just found the perfect T-shirt for him/her!
Designed by Trendy Tadpole, this black T-shirt is fun, hip, Rock and Roll with a little touch of humor:

"AB/CD
For Those About to Read We Salute You"

From the "These booties are made for walking" or the "Mommy's little monster" to the "I'd rather wear diapers than wear fur. Stop the fur trade" slogans (a part of the proceeds on that design goes to P.E.T.A.) non-conformist, à la mode and innovative parents will love Trendy Tadpole's designs!

Those quality T-shirts are 100% cotton, made in the USA, by the famous American Apparel in a "sweatshop free environment".

Ordering is very easy: click on the design you like, choose the color and style of clothing you would like (onesie, lap tee, T-shirt, toddler raglan) and voilà.

So, for those about to check Trendy Tadpole's web site…

Je vous salue bien!

DreamKuddle

The Whats Hot For Tots team likes to keep its "ears to the ground" during naptime. While the other kids are sleeping, we are listening to what moms have to say about hot new products. What's the latest buzz? The award winning DreamKuddle pillow! So you can imagine our excitement when the nice folks at Pippen Hill Designs sent us one to try for ourselves. Because it is designed specifically for kids ages 2 and up, we thought it would perfect for our 3-year-old friend, Hannah to test out. Here is her kid certified endorsement (written by her Mom, Joanna):

"What a wonderful pillow! DreamKuddle pillow is our favorite thing to lay on when Hannah and I have our story time before bed. Sometimes, Hannah puts her babies on the curve part of the pillow while I read her a book. She says they can listen also to the story. Hannah sleeps with her DreamKuddle pillow every night. It looks so cute in her room. She likes to demonstrate how you sleep on it to everyone. The color and design is so cute and it is so soft. We have taken the DreamKuddle pillow with us on several small trips and Hannah has really enjoyed cuddling with her pillow in the car while we are driving. This is a great pillow for children as well as adults. It seems to be the perfect fit no matter what size the person may be. The only thing you have to do to get ready for your child's next cuddle with their new pillow is to wash and dry the two pillow cases, its that easy."

Take a stroll through the DreamKuddle website and you will be amazed at the awards and professional recommendations given to these whimsical pillows. Because we all want what is best for our kids, the DreamKuddle offers some wonderful benefits. It provides body support and emotional security, improves sleep habits, promotes proper spine alignment, enhances muscular relaxation, provides sensory comfort…and these are just a few of the highlights!

Made from high quality, soft fleece with an allergy/moisture lining, the DreamKuddle pillow is available in four fun designs: a kitty, a bunny, a puppy and a bear. Caring for your pillow is simple…love it, snuggle with it, machine wash and dry it, then cuddle with it some more.
Be sure to visit the DreamKuddle website to view the fantastic pillow for yourself. Sweet dreams!

New For Baby

When my first son was born, I had our overnight bag for the hospital packed months in advance. I was so excited and selected the most precious outfit, with matching receiving blanket and hat, for his journey home from the hospital (all 2 miles of it!). Even though my son was almost 8 pounds at birth, he looked like a peanut in this newborn outfit. I had to roll up the sleeves and legs just to get him in his infant car seat…and forget the hat…it covered his eyes, all the way down to his nose.

So imagine my excitement when my second son was born, just four weeks ago, that I had the perfect coming home outfit for him, made by New For Baby. A beautiful azure sleep gown, with matching convertible hat, it looked like a couture gown made for a model! Not only was the fit perfect, but the design too.


Layette clothing from New For Baby is itch-free, with the tag and washing instructions printed directly on the fabric. Also, the clothing is designed with foldover cuffs, to prevent baby from scratching him/herself. Last, and my husband's favorite feature, are the neckline snaps, allowing for easy dressing and undressing of the baby.

New For Baby clothing is one of those things you can't believe wasn't created sooner…of course newborns need their own special clothing…they are more special than anything in this world! Thank goodness for moms like Leigh Rubio and Lyn Huffman, co-creators of New For Baby, for making their dreams a reality.

Sweet Pea Creations

I just discovered the most fantastic cards. They are from Sweet-Pea-Creations, a company that specializes in handmade birth and adoption announcements, baby shower invitations, christening and baptism invitations as well as matching note cards.

Each card is designed by the owner, Susan Stemple, who personally customizes her works of art. The cardstock, vellum paper, ribbons and envelopes have a superior quality that looks and feels just wonderful.

One of my favorites is a birth announcement featuring a background of pink roses with the birth data printed on a vellum overlay. It is delicately embellished with a gracefully tied organza ribbon. I am also very fond of a darling photo note card with a perky gingham border. Another card I treasure is a beautiful christening card with a reverent design truly befitting the occasion.

It is very easy to choose an original design. The fonts offered are delightful and the choices of wording are just perfect. I love the option of having my return address printed on the back flap of the envelopes. Susan has lots of practical suggestions and great ideas on the website which make the process simple and fun.

I am just so glad to have found a card which is genuinely worthy of the occasion.
