BusyBabe

We all need to be organized and with a baby in the house we know who maintains the schedules. What a great idea to combine a daily calendar and organizer for both Mom and Baby! I just love the way this special book is planned. There is a page for each day of the month - and it is nicely sorted with tabs clearly marking each month. But just wait until you see how the day is organized - first with a tip of the day - and my favorite, a quote of the day.

I am just delighted to have the essentials covered in such a wonderfully organized fashion. There is just enough space to keep track of eating, sleeping, the "to do's", daily appointments, tonight's dinner, and most thoughtfully, the pattern tracker. There is no pressure here as there is a succinct A (Vital - must be done), B (Important - should be done), C (Optional - could be done) priority line for checking off. There are even a few lines especially devoted to "today's buzz" where you jot down the precious moments of life, the things we did, the baby's firsts, people we saw.


I love the page called "me time" - we all can dream! An essential page is the "sitter instructions". There is no guess work here with a page dedicated to all a sitter would need to know, and organized to give the information at a quick glance. At the beginning of each month there is a great insert page with various practical hints from packing for baby, packing for mom, getting into shape, to finding a sitter.

The cover is slick and washable with baby's photo and name and the size is perfect for holding to read and for jotting down notes. It has a great heavy duty spiral binding so there is no chance of missing a page. This organizer lays flat on any surface. I guarantee you will love the BusyBabe organizer from cover to cover.

All-Weather Woobee

Bbrrr I don't know about you but here, in my backyard, winter is definitely here. I can't really complain after all the nice days we had in November and early December. Besides I always liked seasons: the pretty colors of Fall, the snowy days of Winter, the rebirth of Nature in Spring, the warm sun of Summer…But when you have a 15 month-old whose favorite excitement of the afternoon is to go out to look for little stones and sticks, cold or rainy winter days are not always so welcome anymore.

Fortunately, I am pleased to tell you that thanks to my daughter's new All-Weather Woobee blanket by These Two Girls, those rainy days don't rhyme with "boring" anymore but with happy! Happy like my daughter who now gets to take a walk in her stroller or go "swing" in any weather.

How is it possible? Well, All-Weather Woobee blankets were smartly and fashionably designed by Heather Correa, mom and owner of These Two Girls, so that one side of the blanket is made of a water resistant nylon with a DWR coating (durable weather resistant) whereas the other side is made of the most delicate and gentle fabric you could imagine. This allows your little one to be protected from bad weather while warmly nestling in the stroller or the baby carrier.
Last but not least, those fabulous 30"x 36" blankets will always keep in place thanks to the two ribbons that you can tie to the sides of the car seat, stroller, etc.
That blanket is definitely a "must-have"!

All-Weather Woobee blankets are available in three different designs: velvet (turquoise pistachio and tangerine), prints (leopard, camo and ranch print) and super soft plush (blueberry, pink, lilac and latte).
These Two Girls' adorable web site offers also burps and bibs, all conceived with the same functional and stylish materials than the blankets. Bibs even have a front pocket to catch crumbs or liquids. How efficient! I love that!

So visit These Two Girls and choose your favorite blanket! I guarantee you and your tot will love it…in any weather!

Paciclips

I found the cutest little fashion accessory - not for me but for the baby! It is the just dearest little practical touch for the holiday season. I have the snowman with a red grosgrain ribbon - and we all love Frosty! How many times have you rummaged around in your pockets, on the counter, in the drawer, in your purse, in the diaper bag, in the car seat for the baby's pacifier - or dropped it on the floor (and in desperation…licked it!)?

Relax - this clever little pacifier clip will keep the soothing pacifier close at hand and with a special flair. Frosty is "my man" today - but you will be delighted with the charming assortment of buttons which adorn this great item. Check them out and you will be thrilled with the variety. Paci Clips & More offers the cutest little stockings for holiday shipping.

Paci Clips & More's concern for the saftey of your child is first and foremost. Special care is taken with each and every pacifier/paci/binky clip! All items are made using the best quality of products to ensure your happiness and satisfaction. The velcro is sewn to the ribbon to ensure it will not come unattached if your little ones bites or pulls on the pacifier/paci/binky clip. The end of the ribbon is then securely attached to an ID clip. After your pacifier/paci/binky clip has been assembled the ends of the ribbons are sealed to prevent fraying.

I just love anything cute for babies; it always brings an extra smile to my world - and what a practical and fun way to know where the pacifier is. I know if you will fall in love with Frosty all over again and I can just hear you all humming his tune.

La Folie

"Pom-poms, look Mom, pom-poms!" are the first words out of my daughter's mouth when she saw the tassles on la Folie's Giggles hat. This adorable hand-knitted hat fits perfect and gets more compliments than any other winter clothing my daughter wears.

Not only are these one of a kind hats, scarves, sweater sets and blankets and the newest rave, but they are also cute and so snuggly warm. Your child will have a blast showing off her la Folie clothing while wearing them on those cold winter days. If you can imagine, they are even cuter in person... if that is possible!

la Folie's products are all hand knit…with love! Heather Hervé and Gayle Greenberger, two stylish sisters, started the business doing what they adore --knitting fun, hip, one of a kind accessories for your kids. Select yarns and a commitment to quality design and production are at the heart of la Folie's line. Products are offered in a variety of sizes and colors, so you can let your creative juice run as you select the perfect hat or sweater to match your child's personality.

My daughter and I are not the only enthusiastic admirers of la Folie designs. Celebrity babies such as Coco Cox Arquette and Apple Paltrow Martin (as seen in US and People magazine wearing Babe in the Woods hat) are the littlest la Folie aficionados.

Newborns, toddlers, boys and girls (and even silly moms such as myself), can stay warm this winter with beautiful hand knit designs from la Folie. Visit la Folie and receive 10% off orders by using coupon code WHFT10. E-mail the sisters with the code in the message section of the "Get in Touch" form, and they'll contact you to take your order.
