Yo Gabba Gabba!

By

Yo Gabba Gabba’s catchy tunes had my daughter singing “Peas & Dat Chu” (please and thank you) at one! Now, my daughter is 2 and she still never forgets to say please and thank you- ever. Of course, I usually steal total credit… but honestly, it was Yo Gabba Gabba that made that simple lesson I was teaching her- fun!

This past weekend my family and I had the honor of attending the Yo Gabba Gabba “Party In My City” show at Radio City Music Hall as well as a pre-show veggies and milk party (ahhh, finally a party that’s not full of sugar!)…

Stylish Bouncy Seat: The BabyBjörn Babysitter Balance

By

Finally, a bouncy seat that matches all my cool Ikea furniture. I love Swedish design!

The stylish BabyBjörn Babysitter Balance is really more like a designer accessory than a piece of baby gear. The reversible fabric gives you four color schemes in one, and the solidly constructed frame has three positions for baby–play, rest and sleep. There’s also the ability to fold the entire seat flat so you can store it under the bed, the couch, or in the trunk of the car…

Help Haiti, Make a Pledge

We want to do our small part to help the people of Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquakes. We would like to donate up to $200 to The Salvation Army to help with the relief efforts.

Baby Sleeps Safely and Soundly with the Halo SleepSack Swaddle

By

The Halo SleepSack Swaddle is the Cadillac of swaddlers. It’s lusciously soft, and it’s designed to not only help your baby sleep better by preventing the “moro” (startle) reflex, but also to reduce the risk of SIDS. And it’s so simple to use, even a sleep-deprived parent of a newborn can put it on swiftly and easily.

It’s well-known that immobilizing the arms of your infant by swaddling them helps them sleep better–but that’s sometimes easier said than done…
