Prepared for this bundle of joy, I recently spruced up my Baby Bjorn for the inevitable new mommy errand running. Just like last time the rain has started and the Winter chill is settling in, but I'm not going to let it stop me from getting outside for a sanity check.
I'm ready to rock the Baby Bjorn with the nifty contraption called the
Peekaru ($80).
When it comes to carting home candy, children have a lot of options — plastic bags and containers, even noise-making plush handled pumpkins or cardboard carriers. But for moms and dads that want to save money and have their wee ones get more mileage out of their treat sacks, use pillowcases. They hold more trinkets and sweets than the other options and can be slipped under your tot's head to lull them to sleep.
When day turns to night, don't add to the fright. This
Ecoween leave your car at home and trick-or-treat locally. If you are venturing outside of your neighborhood, lessen your family's carbon footprint by going on foot and pushing babies in their strollers or pulling wee ones too tired to walk in wagons.
If you're looking for an earth-friendly treat that may cause a bit of fright go with ghost lollipops. Toddlers love projects so enlist your lil ones help in wrapping each
individually wrapped organic sucker in a sheet of recyclable tissue. Tie it off just under the candy with a piece of string, ribbon, twine or raffia found around the house.
When your children are itty bitty, you carry bibs on outings to protect your wee one. When they get older they get messier, but bibs start to get smaller and sometimes embarrass older children.
Instead of wasting rolls of paper towels and stacks of napkins to swipe your lil one's faces clean, invest in a set of
Fabkins (set of 5 for $23).
