New Toys & Contest From Fisher Price
Who doesn’t have a favorite toy from Fisher Price? The classic farm…the camera complete with flash on top…the old school house. Which was your fave? Ours was the castle, now considered vintage, that we played with at our best friend’s house (lots of arguments over who could have the queen). Fisher Price keeps coming up with new and exciting toys to keep your little ones learning and entertained. Their latest addition Read More
Rachel Zoe’s Styish Nursery
We’re sure by now you’ve heard that uber stylist Rachel Zoe is now a mommy. We’ve been dying to know what her nursery looks like, and know who designed it…and now we do! Read More
Happy Birthday Sophie!
When you’re turning 50, you deserve a big party…and that’s just what Petit Tresor did in honor of Sophie The Giraffe. Wish we could have made it to West Hollywood to see celeb guests such as Ali Landry and daughter Estela and Cortney Mazza with daughter Gia (daddy is Mario Lopez). Both brought toys to donate to Baby Buggy, snacked on Sweet E’s cupcakes (yum), made their own custom Silly Bandz packs, and took photos for flip books made by A Little Scene. The grown ups even sipped champagne from Nicolas Feuillatte …oh la la. Sounds very posh and quite fancy. Just as it should be when you are celebrating the birthday of France’s favorite baby toy. Keep up the good work Soph…you’ve kept thousands of teething babies content and thousands of mommies sane.
100% Recycled Fun
Every boy (or girl for that matter) needs a toy dump truck. It’s just one of those things. Total necessity. It’s a classic and solid choice for a Christmas gift…what little boy doesn’t want to zoom around Christmas morning filling his dump truck up with holiday bows and his sister’s precious toys? This year we picked Green Toy’s much sought after yellow and red dump truck. Made completely from recycled milk jugs and free from nasty chemicals ( not a drop of BPA’s in this vehicle) and also free of batteries, funny sounds and remote controls. Perfect for indoors and out and it’s lite enough to pack up and take it with you for playdates. Love the fair price too. We think this toy sends the right message to tots…not too excessive, earth friendly and tons of fun. Green Toys and their fabulous environmentally friendly creations will be making an appearance under our tree this year, what about yours?
Sophisticated & Stylish…Just What We Like
Shopping online for childrens clothing is just about the smartest mommy tip we can hand along to you. It’s fast, easy, and very satisfying. There’s no temper tantrums to deal with (at least till the visa bill comes…)…you don’t have to spend a sunny day at the dreaded mall and you can do it in the comfort of your home, snuggled up on the couch sipping a yummy coffee (or needed glass of vino). One of our favorite places to shop is Little Milk Junkie. They carry the creme de la creme of kids clothes and the service is divine. Our latest purchase? The Navy & White Striped Dress from Petit Bateau. It’s a true classic, easy to wash and wear and looks fabulous paired with dark denim capris or alone with sun kissed bare feet. You can bet we’ll be back for more from their collection of threads from Kate Mac and Charlie Rocket. So momma, after they’re all tucked in, flip on the computer, pour whatever keeps you going and have a look at all the fab clothes at Little Milk Junkie. You will thank us later.
Too Posh For Words
Plain Mary has got to be the most fabulous line of baby gear we’ve ever had the pleasure of owning. The simple and elegant designs and posh extras makes it suitable for the mommy who knows quality and style and will not settle for anything less. What did we choose to spoil our little pumpkin (and ourselves) with? Plain Mary‘s signature Kensington Play mat. Quilted micro sued fabric that’s as soft as it is rich looking. We went with the deep chocolate brown and ivory stitched bear. You can have it monogrammed with babe’s name if you like too. Not only is it celeb worthy, but we’re sure it’s fit for future king’s and queens to play on too . Brad and Angie along with Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez (she’ll always be Jenny from the block to us) all have a little Plain Mary sprucing up their baby’s nursuries too. We think this mat is worth the investment and know you’ll be passing it onto future generations…it’s that fabulous. At least Jenny and I think so. Add some classy and understated style to your baby’s play time with the upscale designs at www.plainmary.com
Once you’re done drooling over all their creations, take a few moments to enter our fabulous contest…you can win a Kensington play mat of your own. Yes…you heard us. We have one to give away. Tell us three other products from Plain Mary you love and we will enter your name in a random draw. Send your email to celebritybabyclothescontest@gmail.com by Sunday at midnight. Good Luck mommies!

Wooden Toys To Brag About
Designed in the Netherlands and finally available to North Americans, Cheekeyes are one of the most sought after gifts this year…and we’re tickled pink to have them under our tree. The Cheekeyes are handmade wooden animals that come in five educational and imaginative themes: Polar, Farm, Africa, Dino and Forrest. We went for the Polar set and also got the iceberg too as it is winter. Love the soothing shades of gray and the smooth safe edges. Very hip and very Euro indeed. We think this will keep our curious tot busy playing and learning for quite some time. It’s about time we mommies started saying no to loud plastic toys and go back to what’s simple and works. Cheekeyes does all that with a simple modern twist. We love the look and feel of it so much that we’ll be keeping this toy out on the coffee table well after bed time. Have a look at all five sets at www.oompa.com
Keep Warm & Fashionable
Just because it’s windy, rainy and even snowing a little lately doesn’t mean we’re hiding and staying indoors. We still like to take baby on long winter strolls and toddle on down for a hot latte or two. Instead of piling the blankies high, we’ve been using our brilliant new b blanket from Rain Or Shine Kids. It’s resistant to water and wind and ties very conveniently onto our stroller. No more chasing babe’s blankets on blustery days. Love the patterns on the soft polar fleece and the ribbon ties add a stylish and practical touch. We went with the green and beige Ring design, but all three patterns look modern and celeb worthy. Rain Or Shine Kids also makes the now famous Woobee all weather blanket that we still love and use almost everyday too. We found that they both make a great last minute picnic blanket or impromptu nursing cover. If we had a “Top 10 Baby Items Ever” list (which we really should!)…this blanket would be on it. It’s a hit with celeb mommies too. Just ask Allison Sweeney, Angela Bassett and Marcia Cross. Have a look at the b blanket, and their line of gorgeous bibs and burp clothes too at www.rainorshinekids.com
Rain Or Shine Kids is having a site wide 20% off sale until the 21st using coupon code ‘holiday20′….Yipee!
