Lavendar Spa Blanket

Fun stuff for parents

The lavendar spa blanket is for stressed out Moms everywhere!!

I love this blanket!  I got the lavendar spa blanket this week and have slept (cuddled) with it every night so far. The smell is amazing and never seems to go away like some scents. 

Exerpt from IsabellaCatalog.com website where you can buy this blanket:

"The lavendar spa blanket is filled with lavender and flax, and you can create your own spa experience at home by warming it in the microwave for a minute or two. The aromatic, moist heat can be enjoyed in many ways. Wrap it around your neck, shoulders, and back for a warm cozy hug. Lay it under or over you for deep, muscle-relaxing warmth or sheer nap-inducing indulgence. Cover is cold-water washable."

Metal Concept Kitchen

Baby & Kids Clothing

Is this not the coolest kitchen ever?  It’s not too girly, or to boyish…I guess kitchens can’t be too boyish anyway.

Designed to look and sound like the real thing, this play kitchen has an electronic "burner" with a center grill on top and an oven below. Overhead is an electronic hood that makes whirring fan sounds and features a working task light. There’s also a refrigerator, sink and as in any modern kitchen, a dishwasher. A built-in storage area houses the 40 accessories, which include cookware, dishes, and utensils. Made of steel and heavy-duty plastic. For ages 3 and up.

This kitchen can be found on a lot of websites for well over $150, but right now, the Museum of Modern Art’s website is clearancing it for just $79.95!! Jump on it!

Floral Bouquet – Cute Baby Shoes

Baby & Kids Clothing

As many of you are aware, I am expecting my second child, a daughter, any day now. I have been searching for the cutest baby clothes, toys, diaper bags, and shoes and I found what I think are the cutest baby shoes at …. cutebabyshoes.com!

These leather shoes are simply perfect.  The parents who started cutebabyshoes.com were frustrated that the soft sole baby shoe market was dominated by only two brands. So they started their own unique line of baby shoes and I mean unique! You can find dozens of soft sole baby shoe styles on the cutebabyshoes.com website for both boys and girls and the price is so affordable that it is not unreasonable to purchase a few pairs, one pair for basic outfits, one pair for "fun" outfits and one pair that is just "funky and cute"! 

I am going to re-post this review after my daughter is born with pictures of her in the shoes, so check back often!

LEGO Classic House Building Set

Baby & Kids Clothing

This is something I have been waiting for for about 4 years. I love LEGO’s and my son does too… however, they just aren’t the same as when we were kids. When I played with LEGO’s (about 25 years ago), we had space sets, home sets (complete with kitchen sinks, cabinets, and flowers for the garden) and other sets that just aren’t around any more. I have even been to the LEGO store in Florida to look for sets like what I had when growing up.

Guess what! It looks like they might be coming back!  I am so excited. I don’t know how excited Sebastain will be about a house building set, but I am!!

Stokke Xplory Stroller

Strollers

This is the most unique stroller I’ve ever seen.  From what I hear, one of the favorite features of this stroller is the fact that the child is higher up than in other strollers.

Features: Stokke™ Xplory® is ideal to take into a restaurant or coffee shop. The diagonal frame makes it easy to place the stroller close to the table, so it’s not obtrusive in anyway. What’s more, you won’t need a highchair. The seat is adjustable so your child can sit up to the table height.
