Perfect for the Pool

I looked at every website and finally found a beach bag I love. It's super huge and was on $15. 3 towels, all of our toys, huge water bottle, snacks... you name it and we stick it in there. Not to mention I love the fact it was so cheap. It's made of plastic so you can stick anything in there whether it's wet or dry.

swimsuit season

I know I missed the boat almost to get my youngest her swimsuit, but the nice part is I found one I loved for half the price. I love all of Kate Mack's swimsuit line for children, but they are too expensive. I found a similar one though at Janie and Jack. I just ordered it, so I can't wait to get it in the mail.

Shoes that Grow

I came across this website and thought it was super cool. Basically these are shoes that can grow with the child. On the bottom it has the size, so as you pull it the size gets larger. Pretty neat. I know I have donated tons of shoes that never got worn out. It's a good idea to have a pair that actually can grow with the child! That's one of those "I wish I thought of that."

new type of foot pillow

We just went on a trip to Georgia and the first place I wanted to go to was IKEA. We found this great pillow for my daughter of course she picked it in pink. She wears it on her feet at night, so they don't get cold. She asked me last night if she could walk with them on her feet. I told her that she could try if she wanted to, but I guess she decided against it.

a baby teether that's stylish

I came across this bracelet by Oh Plah. It's made to allow your teething babies to chew on it. It's comes in several colors and 3 different designs. I love the look of them. Not to mention - how handy would it be if you were somewhere like a dr's appt and your baby started fussing, to pull of your bracelet and hand it to them. You don't have to worry about small parts coming off and hurting them.

Petunia Pickle Bottom

Not only do I love the name of this company, but I love their products. I had my eye on this clutch forever. I never did get it, b/c when I found this diaper clutch my daughter was already potty training. I knew it wouldn't be long until I didn't need to carry diapers around. She also potty trained at a very young age compared to my oldest. Anyway, this clutch opens up to have a place for diapers and wipes and it has a pull out changing pad. It's super cute and stylish. They come in all colors and sizes, but for some reason I have always been drawn to this one. I think it's called Cake.

heelarious....

I saw this item in a baby boutique near our house and loved it! What a cute idea. What little baby girl wouldn't want to accessorize with these cute heels? They are made by Heelarious and are very soft. It would be a cute shower gift for that fashionable mommy!

there's no place like home

My 3 year old LOVES her dorothy shoes. She wears them almost every day. We live in Kansas, so I guess it only makes sense. During Halloween you can get them at Target, I think. She saw them at a toy store one day and begged forever to get them for her birthday. Luckily, my grandma needed an idea, so it was the perfect thing. She was so excited to get them.

solves falling down britches

I always tell my friends with tiny tots about tinyBigs.com. This is a neat way to keep the pants pulled up and the shirt to lay down. A lot of the little baby clothes and toddler clothes do not come with belt loops and if they do it's hard to find tiny belts. Basically it clasps to the pants and then you extend it up under the shirt. Then the truck is a magnet that attaches to the outside of the shirt.

willies and macs

I love this umbrella. I also love everything else on this website under kids. From what I read Cath Kidston is a designer in the UK. Her prices aren't bad, but remember to do the conversion. Right now 1 pound is about $1.46 for the time being. They also have great sales every so often, so I book mark this and go back to the website, http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/c-116-kids-wellies-macs.aspx. The umbrella is under the section Willies and Macs. She has tons of school supplies, bags, clothing .... Oh, and for the deginer in you she offers fabrics and oilcloths.

cute crawler covers

My 3 year old LOVES tights. She wants to wear them non-stop, which would be fine except for it's hard to take her to the bathroom and pull them off and on. I found baby legs that are awesome. She puts them on herself and then I never have to help wrestle on and off her tights. The pair we got is from fategoddess.etsy.com and it was super inexpensive and she also through in a free pair of her choice. I love them b/c now my daughter can wear her "tights" whenever she wants. We wore them to gymnastics the other day and everyone made comments.
