Mother of Invention

This seems too good to be true.  I fondly recall the many days I spent doing the "death march" around the Upper West Side with my newborn just so he would sleep.  As he got older and we relocated to L.A. it became the car ride to nowhere.  Oh, the sore leg muscles and gas I would have saved if only we had the Lullabub.  Four feet that are attached to the crib legs and simulate everything from the womb to a car ride to a rocking boat.  Brilliant.

Food Fight!

Ok, fine.  We admit it, we probably should buy a splat mat.  I've grown tired of stepping on an errant blueberry or having a pea squish through my sock, thereby grinding it into my nice wood floors.  And, even though meal times with a baby are when our dog seems to come in handy most, she surprisingly won't eat just anything.  So, what to do if you don't want a colorful alphabet or Spongebob and friends boldly displayed in your modern kitchen?  Why, the Koko Bird Floormat of course!  Available in two colorways at 2Modern.com

Color Me Pink

Pink Gorillas is having a great winter sale. Prices as low as $10 on brands like Claesens, Kik-Kid, Okkies, Kidcase and Imps & Elfs. They have a huge selection and fast shipping. I've been shopping with them for a couple of years now and always find new things for my son as he grows. Definitely worth a look and a bookmark!

Corner Office

I know this isn't exactly a new product, but after seeing it on site after site I finally took a good long look and thought, huh... that's a pretty cool little desk. So, here ya go! The Offi Mini Drawer Doodle Desk. Great for drawing,snacking or conducting important business. Available at Pacifier

A Better Basket

When we were expecting and gathering our long, long list of things we were told we "absolutely had to have" for the baby,(we all know better now, don't we...) a moses basket was right up there at the top. However, I honestly could not find one that I liked. The wicker style with Toile and lacey trim was really not our thing. So, we never did get one. How amazing it would have been to have found the Lalapanzi Bed back then. It's totally our style and can be packed and traveled with. Available at Grow Modern

DIY Pollywog

We love purlsoho! A frequent visitor of their beautiful little shop as well as on-line. They have an amazing collection. So amazing that it's almost impossible not to buy a yard of something found there just to keep, project to follow. Well, this cute frog pattern is just the thing. Quick and easy with a cute result... what could be better?

Happy Meal

These plates are so adorable and I'm sure would be a great help during mealtime. With varying food placement, the smiley face peeks out from underneath your breakfast/lunch/dinner. A concept from artist Jamie Wieck... and only a concept, unfortunately, not for sale... but, we hope to come across them in the marketplace soon. For now you can check them out on Jamie's site
