Personalized Halloween Outfit for Baby

Oh my gosh! I was wondering what to dress Madelyn up as for Halloween but I have to look no further. She was given this great personalized halloween outfit by Bisou Boutique and I love it!

This soft and lightweight halloween outfit has satin feet with "trick" printed on one foot and "treat" printed on the other. Madelyn has tried very hard to eat her feet in this outfit. She thinks they are very yummy looking.

The outfit snaps in the back so there aren’t any unsightly snaps to take away from the super cuteness of the outfit.

Your baby is sure to get a lot of attention in this outfit!

We even used the bow that came on the outfit’s hanger in her hair to add a little more cuteness to the look.

Buy your baby’s halloween outfit ASAP so you will get it on time!  Bisou Boutique also sells a cute devil halloween outfit for babies. The devil outfit has a tail!  How cute!

Tee Pee

I remember the days when I would get all the sheets out of the hall closet, throw them over random pieces of furniture I gathered from several rooms and slid in for hours. That was special time for me. I would read my Judy Bloom books, my Barbie magazine (yes, I read Barbie) and do puzzles. Those are fond memories. BUT, I absolutely hated having to make my own fort. I would ask my sister for help, but if she wasn’t in the fort making mood, I sure didn’t get help.

Now, kids don’t have to ask for help. Your child(ren) can have a permanent Tee Pee in your home. No more, MOMMY, WILL YOU HELP ME BUILD A FORT? while you are fixing dinner or folding the laundry. YEAH!! 

Tee Pee for me was founded my two Georgia moms with safety, quality, and beauty of design top on their minds. 

Tee Pee for me tee pee’s:

  • install in just seconds. You literally slide the tee pee out of the packaging, pull apart the polls and the tee pee is up!
  • are made of high quality, beautiful fabric
  • come in patterns for boys, girls as well as nuetral patterns
  • are very spacious on the inside
  • are lightweight
  • easily fit into the back of a minivan so kids can take it to Grandma’s!

I love the tee pee that we have. The fabric is a Wild West Red theme and is perfect for little boys and girls I think.

Sebastian (7 years old) can easily fit in his tee pee as well as 2 of his friends. They play games, read books and Sebastian can even stretch out completely and relax in his tee pee.

Checkbook Folio…just for girls

I am not sure how I found Yatta Bags recently, but I was totally impressed with the selection of checkbook folio’s. I don’t know about you, but when I write checks I’m usually not happy about it (paying bills)… my checkbook folio from Yatta Bags has seriously made me a little happier when I give my money up. I know that’s a bit dramatic but as most of you know, that’s me.. dramatic!!

Buyers can choose from a few different designs and two checkbook folio sizes. The checkbook folio has a magnetic snap and features two pockets, one for the checkbook and one for the register.

Baby Daze


It never fails… when my husband takes care of Madelyn (now 5 months), as soon as she starts to cry he tries to hand her to me and says "she’s hungry". That’s not always the case, and now I can tell him to go look in the Baby Daze book so he can find out when she ate last and when she slept last before he comes to me!  I love the Baby Daze book. It has actually helped out marriage because I don’t roll my eyes at my husband anymore when he tries to hand Madelyn off to me thinking that she is hungry or tired when she’s not! Now he knows! Anything that helps new parents helps a marriage!

New parents can keep track of their baby’s feeding times, sleep, doctor’s apointments, milestones, gifts baby has received, foods tried, contact information, and mom can even keep track of when she pumps, how much and how she stored it.

Baby Daze was created by a mother and father team, one a professional organizer and the other is the founder of nydads.com. They have a beautiful daughter who was the insipiration behind Baby Daze.

I highly recommend that new parents purchase Baby Daze as early as possible and this is a great baby shower gift!

Mama Needs It!


There is nothing cute about these onesies… did I just say that?!  They are super COOL! I love the Beastie Boys and now I can spread the love through Madelyn’s clothing.  Every once in a while parents want to get away from the pink and blue frills and dress baby in something…cool,  not cute. Now parents can live vicariously through their infant while he/she is wearing a Beastie Boys, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 onesie. The band logo is featured on a black onesie to give baby a cool, tough look. I think these are adorable on little girls. It’s time to step out of the box and put your little girl in a band onesie from Mama Needs It!
