Lullabies by Suzanne

If you are a fan of operatic music you will love the personalized lullaby CD by Suzanne Marion.

When you order a personalized CD, it will come with your child’s name on the CD as well as their photograph if you send one to Suzanne after placing your order. Suzanne dedicates a lullaby or play song to your child!

The CD is professionally recorded with a personalized version of a lullaby or play song as well as an accompaniment-only version of the song so you can sing it to your child. There are over 15 songs on the CD and the book that your CD arrives in contains the lyrics to all of the songs.

You can request that a special "dedication" message be printed inside the book.

I recorded a quick video so you can see what is included in the book. Click here to view it.

Busy Body Book

Every family needs a "Busy Body Book".

The Busy Body Book allows families to break events down by person. There are 5 columns for each day. Each column can be titled with a persons name (see video for example) or by subject for students.  The front of the book features a list of the months with ample room to write down all the important events for each month.

When you start a new month, one full page includes a grid of 3 full months; the previous month, the current month and the next month for quick reference.
On an open spread, one page includes a "To Doodles" section and a notes area and the other page includes a grid of the current week.

Christian and Jewish holidays are featured in the Busy Body Book.

Toward the end of the book is a feature that I absolutely love!  It is an "apointments for next year" spread. You know when you go to the OB/GYN and they want you to make your next yearly apointment, you are thinking "right, like I am going to remember the date!?"  Well, now you will! 

Next there are several "Notes" pages.

To top it off, the book includes great little perforrated "To Do" pages with each page having 4 To Do perforrated sections.

At the end of the book you will find an "Important People" section…i.e. an address book.

The book comes with a bookmark that grabs the spiral binder so you can bookmark the current week.

There are 2 sturdy pockets; one in the inner cover and the other in the back of the book.

Click here to watch my quick video of the Busy Body Book.  It’s not the clearest video but you will get an idea of what the pages look like.  You can also visit the website to see sample pages.

Coco Bebe vintage inspired blanket

Coco Bebe offers vintage inspired and whimsical, super soft blankets, "bum" pads (changing pads) and diaper bags.

These blankets are the perfect size to use as a stroller blankie or to use on the floor for play time and the chenille backing is wonderfully soft against baby’s skin.

Here is a photograph of Madelyn "lecturing" the boys while laying on her Coco Bebe "pink dandelions" blanket.

The "bum pads" are awesome!! I love putting Madelyn on something so soft while I am changing her diaper.

Coco Bebe has designed their pieces with real moms in mind! They are machine washable and can also be dried.

Popper Stopper from Hot Mama

Whoever thought of this idea is a genius! 

I have to say first, that I think it’s cute when a pregnant belly button pops out. BUT, there are times when we don’t want our belly button to pop out, like when we go to a dinner party.  It’s nice to know that you can put on a latex-free popper stopper (which is not like a bandaid in that it doesn’t show under your clothes) and know that your belly button won’t be a topic of conversation at the dinner party!
