CRAZY ABOUT PICTURES
I have never been a picture person, that is, until the birth of my son.
Suddenly, everything is picture-worthy! His first smile, then his
second smile, and his third smile...well, you get the point. At about
the same time I realized that I had a photo addiction, I also
discovered that I had a picture frame addiction. So began my pursuit
for stylish frames that could both showcase pictures of our little
bundle of sunshine and match the decor of very cramped Manhattan
apartment.
My pursuit ended with the discovery of Sticky Prints. Started by a
picture-crazy, space-saving, certified stay-at-home mom, Sticky Prints
are stylish frames with a magnetic backing. This means that you can
create your own baby gallery on your refrigerator, filing cabinet or
any other magnet-friendly surface. Simply brilliant!
The frames are sold individually as well as in sets of three. The
seasonal and limited addition sets are super cool, and the personalized
frames are a perfect gift idea. Check out the entire line at www.stickyprints.com - Psst...they add new designs to their collection every month!
ELEGANT baby ADDS FLAIR TO BABY PRODUCTS
If you haven’t noticed, pregnancy and parenthood is hipper and sexier
than ever before! Our good friends Gwyneth, Britney, Ben (Affleck) and
Brad (Pitt) have proven to the world that parenthood can be quite
fashionable. In fact, it’s a great excuse to go shopping and Elegant
Baby is a great place to start. They really know the importance of
adding flair to the functionality of baby gear – After all, they have
been around for 40 years.
You can get a bunch of personalized gifts and keepsakes as well as cute
blankets, nursery accessories and bath time essentials at www.elegantbaby.com. My favorites are the polka-dotted piggy bank, sea squirties and the indispensable medical kit.
It’s never too early to teach your tot the value of saving money. The
polka-dotted piggy is a fun way to squirrel away your coins and it’s a
great accessory in any nursery.
The sea squirties are as much fun to use as they are to say. They will quickly become your baby’s favorite bath time toy.
We have two of these medical kits – one in our nursery and one in the under seat bag of our stroller.
The kit is equipped with all the basic stuff you need to care for your baby, including a:
- Medical spoon
- Nasal aspirator (which is particularly useful since our tots won’t
grasp the concept of blowing their noses until they are around 3 or 4
years old)
- Plastic coated nail clipper (another useful tool since baby nails grow faster than weeds)
- Digital thermometer
- Water-filled teether (need I say more?)
- Comb and Brush
