I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.

book pick: quiet LOUD.

Lately I’ve been trying to read books with C {my completely stereotypical 3-year-old boy} that will help him understand the difference between inside behavior and, well wild animal behavior.


Reading this book to C was an epiphany for him; I could honestly see the light bulb illuminate over his head when we read about things that make quiet sounds and things that make loud ones. His quiet and LOUD are the same volume. I’m always telling him to take it from volume 10 to volume 5 and he cocks his head {much like a wild animal} and looks at me like I’m crazy. So, thank you Leslie Patricelli for this illuminating, adorable book.

cute yoga mats for kids.

When P was little we did yoga together all the time, and she loved it. We rolled out my yoga mat and she would do little yoga poses all over the family room. It was completely adorable and was great exercise for her.

i-play babywear makes this cute yoga set for kids {including a yoga mat, bamboo romper & itsy bitsy yoga DVD $52.99} which can be found at babies-r-us. If you don’t want the whole set, you can purchase the mat & romper individually at the i-play babywear online store. Namaste.

Assets Sensational Shaper

$20.

Look what I found over at shefinds: a line of totally inexpensive shapewear {called Assets, of course} designed by Sara Blakely exclusively for Target. For those of us who’ve been dropping serious cash on Spanx, this is just one more reason to become a compulsive Target shopper.

Braincandy is an engaging, fun, and award winning series of DVDs created by husband and wife team Sam-Reich Dangen & John Dagnen as an alternative way to teach their twins about the world. The catchy theme song will drag you in, and the fun segments about the senses will keep your kids completely entertained while they learn. I highly recommend them.

fashionable nursing covers.

Chocolat.
$35.
{via Bebe au Lait}.

Once again I wish I’d thought of these first. Bebe au Lait is a company selling nursing covers that are a perfect fix for nursing mommies on the go. I’m sure you don’t want to share in the nursing love {and no one wants to see it} so Hooter Hiders are the perfect solution to keep mom, baby, and the general public happy. Not only do they keep you covered, they come in a darling array of designs so you won’t have to be a frumpy nursing mom.

Bebe au Lait also has coordinating burp cloths that are so much cuter than the plain cloth diapers I used.

Chocolat Burp Cloths.
{$16 for two}.
