Are You a Crocs Mom?
Love 'em or hate 'em, they're everywhere! Crocs have taken tot toes by storm and are still growing and gaining popularity and not just in America. The Japanese are infatuated with the porous rubber shoes as are other cultures.
10 Products and Inventions That Make Most Mommies Cringe
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.
Lil Find: Babbaco
When it comes to baby products, it seems that everything has already been invented. Cushions for car seat straps, mixers for bottles of formula, swaddle blankets for dummies, and loads of other contraptions. So when I see something totally new and creative, I tend to have a, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Mommy's Lil Helper: Protecting Your Tot's Tush
Airport, mall and restaurant bathrooms often offer the appropriate amount of space to do a quick change, but their cleanliness is not always top–notch. Leave the germs behind by using a large biodegradable Clean and Green Changing Table Cover ($5/pack of eight). Having used blankets and plush teddy bears to keep my wee one's head from touching the surface of public changing tables, these eco–friendly disposable pads would have been a welcome addition to my diaper bag.
Simple or Swank: Block Wagon
One of my earliest memories is stacking up buildings with wooden blocks. A cinch to construct and even easier to tear down, they were and still are some of the best entertainment for tots. The only thing that could improve them is a carry–all to store them in.
Mommy's Lil Helper: Mosquito Net
Mosquitoes and bugs have a hard time making a life for themselves here in my chilly city by the bay, but having grown up in Houston, I know what it is like to be swarmed by the blood sucking insects that inflict itchy pain. As I plan a trip back to Texas, I am plotting how my babe will brave the pesty buggers.
My first line of defense is a mosquito net from Hedvig Bourbon.
Junior Jetset: Carseats on the Go
Traveling with tots doesn't have to be difficult. The SafeGuard Go Hybrid booster seat ($199) has created a carseat that makes traveling much easier and keeps your child safe.
Classified as a combination carseat, the SafeGuard Go has a five point harness that can be used on a child up to 60 pounds and then converts to a regular booster seat for a child up to 100 pounds.

- First and foremost, mom should confirm the seat will function properly in her vehicle.
Love Your Leading Tot in Full Uniform Costumes
There's something about a man, er child, in a uniform. If mama thinks she loves fleet week for the handsome sailors, imagine her reaction when she dresses her babe up in the pressed navy gear. If her lad prefers land over sea, mommy can check out the fireman and sheriff attire for a different line of duty.
