Fit by Sara DVD’s

We all know how important exercise is during pregnancy and we regret it terribly if we don’t follow through. Sara Holliday’s Prenatal Yoga DVD makes it easy and enjoyable to get your exercise during your last trimester.

Sara uses her extensive experience in teaching yoga to bring together a series of postures specifically for your third trimester.

I found that doing yoga while I was pregnant gave me a closer connection to Madelyn.

This gentle workout should be fine for women in any stage of pregnancy.

A review of Sara’s Stroller Workout DVD is coming soon!

Star Melamine Feeding Set

Now kids can have a dish set that’s just their style and feel like a "grown up" with a complete dish set. This 4 piece feeding set includes a plate with "my breakfast, lunch and dinner plate" printed on it, a bowl with "what a good boy" printed on the inside bottom of it, a cup with "half cup" and "full cup" printed on it and an easy to hold spoon.

Yes, the dishes are dishwasher safe! Ishould know because I have to wash Sebastian’s bowl everyday so he can have his nightly bowl of ice cream in his "what a good boy" bowl!

BebePOD

Babies everywhere can sit up now! What a great idea. The BebePOD enables infants ages 4 months and older to sit on their own so mom can empty the dishwasher, fold the laundry, etc…

Madelyn is 4 months and loves her BebePOD. I love it because there aren’t any straps to fasten. The little "knob" between Madelyn’s legs (left) holds baby snuggly inside the BebePOD. The back of the BebePOD is high enough to give great support for babies 4 months and older.

I wish the BebePOD had a little toy attached to it or at least a toy fastener so we could clip her toys to it. When she plays with toys while in the BebePOD, 9 times out of 10 she drops it and it’s not within reach. That’s my only complaint.

The soft and cushiony chair is easy to clean with soap and water.

Crumb Chum

As parents, we handle the first few crumbs that fall on the floor OK. We deal with them. After about a cup or so of crumbs falls on the floor though, that’s another story.

Sebastian’s Crumb Catcher has changed our mealtimes… forever! The Crumb Catcher is worn just like a bib, fastens in the back and has a giant pocket in the front to catch all those crazy crumbs that "have a mind of their own" according to Sebastian.

The Crumb Catcher covers Sebastian’s entire front side which means that his shirt and pants are no longer used as a napkin. Sebastian was 6 when he STARTED wearing the Crumb Catcher, so it’s not just for babies and toddlers.

The Crumb Catcher is machine washable and dryer safe! The Crumb Catcher is available in several patterns for boys and girls. There is a baby version and a toddler version.
