Dots are in this year again. I don’t know when I have ever seen dots to be an obsolete fad. You can never be outdone by dots in different color schemes and patterns. Garnet Hill has been expanding their children collection, and I love it. Here is an inspired image of a play room simply done up. The playfulness of the dots, with the floor pattern and the lightness of the walls have an inviting feel for any type of play dates here in this room.
Visit Garnet Hill for their new look and new image.
As
we had reviewed Kaboost in the past, let me say what else we have been using it for the last couple weeks. My daughter started to play piano, and because the dining chair isn’t high enough for her finger to reach the keyboard, we have been using the KABOOST chair booster to give her height. It’s been perfect. The product is a simple, portable, and practical for older children who needs height at the table. A child who is mature enough, but not tall enough, to eat at the table with the rest of the family simply needs a bit of a lift.
Everyone is having babies, or so it seems around me. My friend and I have been searching for the perfect birth announcement cards for her little newborn and we stumbled across a great site that deliver an array of adorable prints for birth announcements. It’s called: Inventing Matilda, they even have special cards such as adoption announcement, and even cards for twins and triplets!
I believe cards, and any type of paper goods you give are an extension of your style, so be creative and look for yourself at Inventing Matilda, because birth announcements only happens once.
Nicole, the owner and brain-child of Mally Bibs knew exactly what she was inventing when she came up with leather bibs. Bibs that do not stain, tear, and can easily be cleaned. I wanted to say congratulations on being posted on Ohdeedoh, and for her success as a small business. She has worked very hard to get her company off the ground, and they are charting into deeper waters as they enter into a new phase of their Canadian-based company. Last we spoke (couple days ago), she was picking up her products with a truck, driving hours upon hours to pick up for a shipment she had a deadline for the next business day. It was a stressful, but with grace and finesse, they managed.
What I love about her bib is the fact after you use it, you can hang it up on the refrigerator door so when you’re ready for the next meal, voila! it’s there to use.
Chic Tots is something to brag about. We love perusing through their collection, because the owner, Michele knows what it means to be in the trenches of mommyhood. That’s why she invented, patent-pending, Chic & Clean Coveralls. With an Open-back and an open split leg make is truly a breeze to use in any high chair, or whatever the occasion calls for your child to dress herself in the Coveralls. It’s not a bib, it’s not a smock, they are “both/ and,”(both a bib and a smcok) and it’s hard for customers to really understand this great concept, because we either think it’s either/or, (either a smock or a bib), but it’s both products in one.
Great for promoting tot self-feeding and independence! With the ease of a bib and full-frontal coverage of a smock, Chic&Clean makes for less mess at meal and playtime. Less laundry and stress, leaves more time for family fun!
When I received Sprout’s Bamboo clothing to test and review, I was excited about the product. I admit, I had some doubts on bamboo being durable as cotton, so I had washed the newborn baby set around 100 times to see how the material would handle in terms of color, wear, fabric texture, and the overall integrity of the product. I was absolutely impressed by the outfit. Because bamboo is a loose fitting, soft fabric, I thought the shape of the overall outfit would lose it’s elasticity, but not with Sprout’s Bamboo’s clothes. The colors, texture, and overall fabric looked natural and as new as when I received it from Grace.
Sprout’s clothing is made from 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton. (Bamboo by nature cannot be organic). It is perfect for a newborns sensitive skin.
It is super absorbent, protects against UV rays, and my favorite- naturally antibacterial! Sprout’s clothing is all about carrying bamboo and other alternative eco-friendly fabrics that are not only beneficial to the environment, but also our children.

We’re giving away 3 weeks in a row of Momspit. They have been so generous to us in sending their products that we would love for you to try it. You have to try it to believe it, it’s an amazing green product for you everyday needs.
I am the mother of three boys, or as I like to say, three monkeys. I threaten them frequently that if they don’t clean up their act I’ll have to throw them into a monkey house at the nearest zoo. “She wouldn’t really do that,” my middle one says to the older one while my youngest knocks over a glass of milk all over the counter. Needless to say, my monkeys are messy, dirty, grubby, grimy, and let’s not forget sticky. They are masters at acquiring multiple layers of yuck on their hands. Take some dirt from the yard, the crusty stuff on the side of the car, add the germs on the railing of the stairs in the public building and those from those disgusting play areas in the fast food restaurants, not to mention their bathroom stalls and vanities.
Needless to say, I am constantly making my monkeys wipe their hands with diaper wipes and hand sanitizer. Even my big boy, my husband, asks me for a wipe every time we’re out. The problem with diaper wipes is that they’re difficult to dispose of when there isn’t a trash can around. They’re also hard to get to when they’re buried in the bottom of the bag and you only have one hand free. Besides, they’re supposed to be for the baby monkey who actually is still in diapers. I didn’t sign up to carry them for the entire pack.
Hand sanitizer on the other hand is more convenient but the alcohol is drying and has a bitter aftertaste. Also, I subscribe to the dangers of the anti-bacterial movement. The solution is momspit. I know, I had to laugh out loud too when I first saw the product, but it’s the perfect name. Growing up in an Asian family, my mother’s spit was the Windex of my generation. It took care of cuts, bruises, a little grime, insect bites, and the emerging zit. It was also useful when you needed some traction. Well, the product called momspit is quite a bit more sophisticated then the older homemade version. It comes in a slim, pump bottle.
Each package comes with three bottles, which were quickly dispersed into various into various bags and purses. Its formulation is more sophisticated than Mom’s homemade version. It contains no alcohol and has more natural ingredients than hand sanitizers on the market today. Recently, I was in Paris for a girls’ weekend. Five glorious days with no husbands, children or diaper bags. However, I had my momspit. Even my girlfriends loved it. “Can I have some of that Momspit?” became a part of our ritual at every café.

The latest must have, ultra stylish highchair in the Kuster range offers practicality at an affordable price. Ergonomically designed and easy to clean, the K2 has an adjustable, removable tray, simple folding mechanism and comes complete with a 5 point safety harness, handy basket and self leveling feet.
The chair will grow with the needs of your child until around 6 years of age, and will allow your child to sit right up to the dinner table without the tray. The cleverly designed tray cover is dishwasher safe and the cushion (sold separately $24.99) is fully washable 100% cotton which is kind to babies’ skin. You can even wash the harness. It folds for storage or space saving in small kitchens and is easy to move around the kitchen.
The chair is suitable from around 6 months or when your baby can sit unaided.
Mobi Tyke Light is a night light that your child can sleep with. It features a soft ambient light that glows when your child sleeps. It has a high and los setting, and a built in rechargeable battery which lasts 10 hours. It’s also great if you have a power outage, because it illuminates just enough to find your way out.
This is a fabulous product! The glow it gives off in my child’s room that is subtle yet bright enough for him to flip through a book before turning in for the night. I like the feature of clicking itself on if the power goes out. That makes me feel much better knowing my son can find his way to us from his room if this were to happen. The only downside is because you can unplug it to carry it to the bathroom or to get a drink in the middle of the night, but when you plug it back in it turns itself off. This has tricked my son a few times. I guess the best bet would be to not try to plug it back in after using it for a midnight dash.
This is a great basket for your bicycle, or whatever catches your whimsy for the summer. I think it has an understated, classy style that shows your fashion sensibilities. Carrie is the brand new unique bicycle basket for the urban cyclist. The designer fashioned the new baskets after her childhood Swedish memories of crocheted tablecloths over tea with grandma. The best part is that it also doubles as a shopping basket!
