Do you have any babies to buy for this holiday season? Particularly ones that belong to techie types? Well have I got a great gift idea for you — a bib covered in keyboard keys! Brought to you by Etsy seller colbylanedesigns, this machine washable Baby Genius Bib is geekalicious goodness.
Priced at only $8, this bib offers the keyboard print on one side and a plush chenille on the reverse. And for geeky adults you can pick up the QWERTY Keyboard Pocketbook for a matching ensemble.
I can't wait to tell lilsugar about my latest website find! In a nutshell, Hand-Me-Downs is a Craigslist for moms where you can buy, sell, give away or donate your "gently used" toys, clothes, car seats, etc. It's shopping (and recycling) made easy for busy moms who not only need new items, but would like to donate or sell them.

Even though Keepaboo bills itself as a site to capture memories of your child, it's not just the lilsugar enthusiasts who will benefit.
There are fun places to upload classic quotes from your subject, track their growth, and a variety of albums, like sorted by months (which makes me think, hello new puppy album). Just goes to show — you don't need babies to coo over something!
Being the geek that I am, I stopped dead in my tracks last week when I spotted this funny "Diaper Loading . . . Please Wait" infant onesie in a storefront window.
I think I'm going to have to pick up one, or two, for friends and family members with babies as Christmas gifts. I did a search online and found them on Cafe Press for $15 — they also come in baby blue and pink.

I love the weekend, and especially Sundays, why? Because it's the perfect day to post fun and adorable, videos like this! Over the July 4th weekend, Vimeo user Jared Foster got all the little ones in his family together for what else but a Robot Parade! I guess it took a lot of orchestrating from the adults - who are in the background directing the kids - but boy, oh boy are we thankful this came together so perfectly; Robot Love is the best!

To all the parents out there (I'll definitely have to pass this onto Lil), what would bother you more? Having your kids watch pornographic videos, drink alcohol or play certain types of video games? I know, quite the combo of selections, but you'd probably choose pornography and alcohol over video games, right? Well nearly 3,000 respondents in a recent study from a parental advisory website showed that parents thought drinking beer and watching pornographic material as more acceptable activities for children than playing certain video games.
Although this doesn't make much sense to me, games like Grand Theft Auto have received quite the bad rep for their extreme violence, but still . . . Sex and booze over video games? Come on people!
Get the geeky started young, is what I always say. If that's your parenting mantra as well, then this All Your Milk Are Belong To Us Onesie ($15) is for you.
You've got to be a supergeek to even get the allusion (here's the joke for the uninformed), and even more so to buy this and put it on your baby. Not sure if this is the geeky onesie to express yourself/your baby? Check out these ones, too!
But is it cruel to subject your child to your borderline-obsessive nerdiness?
Since the iTunes App Store launched, there are new applications every single day, making me feel like the proverbial kid in a candy store. The myriad categories are only outnumbered by the growing numbers of apps in each. I've highlighted games and the essentials, but you can't count out the educational apps. Whether you have kids and want to supplement their learning or just need refreshers yourself, check out my slideshow of braintastic iPhone apps!
I'm pretty sure I've gone on and on about this before — or maybe it was in a recent chat with lilsugar — but I can't stress enough how fantastic iPhones are when you've got kids that need to be kept busy (aka distracted!). You can pull up either downloaded movies or TV clips from YouTube, and you can even exercise the right sides of their brains with a wonderful app called Scribble!
To get this free app, just go to the App store, and you'll find it in the entertainment section. Oh, and it's free, free, free!
Not a mama yet, and can't really justify all that time you spend on lilsugar?
SavvyAuntie is here for you when you have little ones in your life that don't exactly belong to you, but through godparenthood or aunthood, you love them as if they were your own. But even though you love them that much, it doesn't mean you'll know exactly what to do when your beloved nephew poops his pants in your lap, or what to get a 3-year-old girl for her birthday.
SavvyAuntie helps with this kid stuff from the aunt's perspective, filling you in on what to know and do with with your beloved young ones when you're lucky enough to be around them.
And once you do figure out which direction the baby wipes go, SavvyAuntie encourages you to post your own pictures and advice!
