With the toy catalogs piling up on my kitchen table, most of the talk in my home is around new playthings these days. I buy toys, both for my kids and as gifts, from a variety of different places, but started thinking about where people shop. So tell me, where do you buy most of your toys?
Diaper bags have come a long way since the days when your momma was carrying hers around.
Share the diaper bag that you currently carry, the one you've got your eye on, or just those that you think are cute. Bookmark your find on TeamSugar and if you tag your finds as "Favorite Diaper Bags," I'll do a recap of everyone's picks next week. I already added the swank Juicy Stroller Bag, as well as the adorable Jimeale Bag. Feel free to add as many as you'd like — I know there are some mommies out there who'd love help in search of the perfect bag.
For every lifesaving mommy product on the market there's another one that makes moms wonder: Are you kidding me?! I've put together some of my favorite, mind boggling, cringe-inducing and playgroup diving products. Check out the lineup. I dare you.
Vans are my son's shoe of choice — he slides them on and is on his way. But, the stylish slip-ons popular with aspiring wee skaters aren't appropriate for certain occasions. For fancy affairs, I invested in a pair of shiny black Kenneth Cole lace-ups, but because weddings, holidays and funerals are so few and far between, he outgrows them quickly.
Then I came across a more casual shoe that is restaurant and playground friendly — Merrells. The classic mocs with rubber soles provide great traction for my tot who's always ready to party. The suede and leather uppers complement most casual outfits and the price tag ($25 - $30) won't break the bank as his feet continue to grow.
My mailbox is filled with catalogs from every toy, children's clothing, and food company known to man these days. Every day, I haul the load to our kitchen table and my daughter gets to work, furiously flipping through the pages and pointing to the items she wants. I used to do the same thing as a child. Do your children do this?
She may be having a baby, but you're having a fit over what to get her for the holidays. Since you can't get her what she really wants, her baby, you can wrap up a few things to make the waiting a bit easier on her.
Stretch marks are every woman's enemy, but when you've got a bun in the oven you'll try anything to try and keep those pesky spots from appearing. Mustela's Maternity Program Gift Set, which aims to make her skin less vulnerable to permanent marks, will be a welcomed part of her beauty regime.
A good pair of comfy pants will bring a smile to any new mommy-to-be's face, especially after a long day in the office. She'll live in these super soft lounge pants from Splendid.
Not quite ready to give up her chic style, a newly pregnant mom will love the Mia Bossi Caryn Diaper Bag. Sure, it's pricey, but she'll probably start carrying this gem around well before her baby debuts.
