New Mom Gift Idea – Timi and Leslie Diaper Bags
How can we resist the style of this adorable Timi and Leslie overnight diaper bag?
Made of quality leather, this fabulous diaper bag is loaded with accessories, all sporting a tasteful circus animal theme. Packed inside, you’ll discover a plethora of baby essentials including an insulated bottle tote, a detachable shoulder strap and a whole bunch of fobs to attach your keys too. Also, there’s a changing pad, a diaper mat, a wrist bag, a medicine case and a baby wipes bag. Other features that we like are the waterproof lining and the zip up bottom that opens up a big space to store baby clothes.
A celebrity favorite, this little number has been spotted sported by Kelly Ripa, Faith Hill, Cindy Crawford and many more.
We snagged ours from Baby Oliver Boutique for a bargain $85.95
Fabulous Holiday Dresses – Luna Luna Copenhagen
Holidays are such a great time for family parties, office parties, great food, great company and lots of festivities.
One tradition in my family was to always wear our best outfit for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve!
Last year, Kara was too young to wear a fancy dress as she was only 1 and couple of months. However, this year, I just couldn’t resist! I got this absolutely FABULOUS dress by Luna Luna Copenhagen. I know, I know, it’s a bit over the top @ over $120 but it will look amazing in our holiday photos! 
I got it one size bigger so she can wear it again next year.
Check out Tuttibella.com for super trendy designer kids clothes for your holiday festivities this year! You may find some unique gift ideas as well some adorable outfits for your own toddler!
Cute Gift Idea – The Run Bike by Wishbone
Awww….lazy days in the summer, teaching your kid to ride a bike. For those of us in North, we have to wait a few more months. But if you’re shopping for someone living in a warm state, this clever little bike is perfect.
This pedal free balance bike, also known as a run bike, is 3-bikes-in-1 to grow with tikes ages 1 to 5.
As soon as your kid can walk, he or she is ready to scoot with the first phase of this Wishbone Bike (the three-wheel trike). When kids develop their skills and confidence, lose a wheel and the wood-framed trike becomes a two-wheel balance bike. For phase three, flip the frame for extra height!
Made from 60 percent post-consumer recycled plastic wheels and sustainably managed woods, this awesome little bike is even environmentally friendly.
Cute Gift Idea – Truffles by JellyCat
A few years ago we went to a gift trade show @ Javitz Center in New York and walked past the JellyCat booth. To our delight, Kara grabbed the first toy/blanket she saw and was absolutely in love with it. The sales person wasn’t so thrilled that we were getting our grubby hands all over his product, but it was hysterical watching my baby’s delight in the softness and cuteness of these animals.
Ever since then, I’ve been in love with these toys/blankets and highly recommend them. They are a pure joy to give and to receive! If you have any baby gifts you need to buy, check out JellyCats Traffles and you will be in love forever!
Part over-stuffed security blankie, part stuffed animal, these adorable animals make a wonderful first toys for baby. Made of ultra soft, non-allergenic materials, the toy can lay down flat or sit upright. We love the sheep’s yummy soft body and gentle smile. The slightly weighted feet make it a delight to carry around or simply hang on the edge of a crib or armchair.
You can purchase one for yourself at Oompa Toy Store here.

This is a fantastic gift for a little baby girl or even for your own child to wear.
It’s festive and colorful and you can stay away from velvet or plaid.

A Mother’s National Holiday
Today is November 1, 2009 and it of course marks the first day of a little something I like to call “The time for the greatest sentence in the English language for anyone attempting to raise (discipline, bribe, etc.) a child.”
Now that Halloween is behind us, mothers across the country will begin looking to the upcoming holiday season and can officially begin using our favorite phrases. One of the very few weapons we have in our arsenal of parenthood. Three magic little words that can transform a tantrum, a misbehaving lunatic into a wide eyed, fearful little angel. Words that have been spoken for generations with a promise of results……..Those magical three little words…(Say it with me now…)
“Santa is watching.”
THIS ladies, is why we are beginning what is known as the” most wonderful time of the year.”
