I don’t know about the rest of you, but at our house we spend the entire summer outdoors. Working in the garden, at the playground, in the sand at the beach, or in the pool. We go through bottles and bottles of sunscreen throughout the summer trying to stay protected from an ever thinning ozone layer, and we’re always looking for products to help us in this endeavor. $14.99 ABC Chocolate Brown. {via My First Shades}. These sunglasses are fantastic…

Green to Grow.$7.99.{via Baby Because}. Baby Because is the ultimate one-stop-shop for all your {green} baby needs.

I loved reading this article about your body after having a baby. Maybe I’m reading too many magazines because sometimes I get discouraged looking at celebrities looking slim and toned shortly after giving birth. I schlepped around in pajama bottoms for weeks after both of my babies were born, and it took me close to a year to get my body back {both times}. Check out the article on babycenter, for a realistic perspective on your {beautiful} body by baby….

If you’re like me you’ll drink diet coke in front of your kids but forbid them from ever having a sip because of the aspartame/ caffeine/ carbonation. I’m not a big fan of a lot of juice boxes marketed to kids either because the #1 ingredient is almost always sugar, {and heaven knows P gets more than enough of that at school}. What’s the solution for kids who are thirsty for something other than plain old H2O, especially as the…

Lynette Damir, {a mother and RN} created these amazing swaddling blankets with built in instructions after finding out her friends and family needed a little guidance in the swaddling department. I remember very well after P was born, having the nurses in the hospital show me over and over again how to bundle P up just right until she resembled a little baby burrito. These blankets are just the right dimensions to help you do the job perfectly once you’re…

I am officially in love with Radius toothbrushes. They are so soft on your teeth & easy to hold {not just for kids, they’re great for those of us who have swollen hands in the morning as well}. Not only that, the handles are made from a 100% renewable resource {Nebraska maize}, the heads are replaceable {less waste} and they are available for lefties as well as the right handed majority. So cool. They’re completely reasonably priced as well, {the…

Ellabalou blankets are simply heaven. Two moms with in the trenches experience {Kerri-Lynne Menard & Laura Sterbentz} have created the perfect blanket: silky on one side {100% Charmeuse} and ridiculously soft on the other {100% Polyester Minky}, with an extra large tag for tactile exploration. The blankets are big enough to travel with your child well into Kindergarten {3 feet square} and are machine washable so they can be toted all over town. Linus would approve. $56. 36″x36″ Blanket {via…
