Catie’s little friend Declan is sporting a new t-shirt that has all the daycare ladies carrying him from room to room to show him off. It’s the I’m the Man onesie from Divas N Babes.
Divas N Babes, a new apparel line designed for cool babies (like Declan) and haute mamas (like his mommy, Brooke)! Moms everywhere have been raving about the line which includes a line of shirts for the Divas (a.k.a Moms), a line for the babes, a line for both mom and baby and a line of baby carriers (including both ring slings and mei tais).

A really clever product I just came across is The Bottle Tamer by Lil Bah Bee. This ingenious product is simply an adjustable strap that attaches to your child’s bottle, sippy cup or toy to their stroller, high chair or even the shopping cart. The Lil Bah Bee strap prevents the bottle from falling through the ground over and over and would have made my life a million times easier when Catie was ten-months-old and going through a stage where she threw her cup on the floor if she was done with it!

I have written in the past of Table Toppers, which I carry in my diaper bag when I take my daughter out to restaurants. I was really happy to receive this earth-friendly alternative to them in the mail.
Classy Kid Write-On Wrap-Around Placemats are the same concept except for a few key differences. For one, they are made from treeless paper. For another, they come with cleverly named Crayangles crayons that are shaped like a triangle (so that they won’t roll off the table) and so that your child can color on them while waiting for his or her food.

If you can’t take baby with you when you leave home, think about wearing his picture in one of photographer Monica Rich Kosann’s lockets.
The professional photographer, best known for her black and white family portraits, launched her vintage inspired line of sterling silver and 18-carat gold image case jewelry and lockets that has since become a favorite of Hollywood’s most elite.
Katie Holmes has been spotted repeatedly wearing her Monica Rich Kosann Double Image Case Locket necklace in both 18-carat gold and sterling silver (pictured here). (more…)
Life with a toddler means a lot of dress up and pretend play and Ellie Bellie Kids has a nice selection of items to aide your imagination.
We love the reversible tutu (my daughter, Catie, is pictured here in hers) but have an amazing time pretending to be super-heros in the personalized EBK cape. For older kids, the EBK Mini-Messenger bag is a great gift and perfectly portioned for kids ages 3 to 6 (with Velcro closures to make opening it and, more importantly, keeping it closed a cinch).
Celebrity fans of EBK designs include Marcia Cross whose twins, Eden and Savannah each have onesie twin capes. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s little girl, Violet, has the reversible tutu in pink/rose. (more…)
Celebrity Baby Blog’s Danielle first introduced me to wraps when my daughter was already 6-months. I was an immediate convert and fell in love with the Moby Wrap. Yes it is a bit difficult to figure out how to tie it at first, but once you have done it a few times you become an expert at it. Also, since the wrap is stretchy and has a slight give, you can keep it tied all day long and pop baby in and out of it.
The Moby Wrap is currently available is 10 vibrant colors - black, navy, forest, indigo, red, moss, natural, lilac, sienna and chocolate. They also recently released the Moby D, a high-end wrap with a center panel that is made from fleece, handwoven cotton or Asian brocade.
The very first Moby exercise DVD that is a collaboration with yogi Anna Getty was also recently released. Moby is represented in a section on doing yoga with your baby.
Brooke Shields is a fan of the Moby Wrap and has been quoted as saying that “the Moby Wrap is perfect and so comfortable. Rowan loves it and Mom’s back is not as twisted.” She was also photographed in In Touch magazine wearing Grier in a natural Moby Wrap.
If you are new to babywearing or if you are considering adding another carrier to your collection, you can find out more about the Moby Wrap at mobywrap.com.
Lauren Kiyomi (Japanese for Pure Beauty) is a maternity line launched by entrepreneur Willie Udagawa (the line is launched under her daughter’s name)
and is also one of the most talked about maternity labels in the market today.
From the embroidered cotton voile collection, to the best fitting maternity jeans, to the softest knit tops and dresses that can also serve as breast feeding pieces, Lauren Kiyomi is not only practical but also fashionable.
Lauren Kiyomi is also a favorite of celebrities too. The super-soft french terry loungewear in “Avalon” is a favorite of Marcia Cross and Tori Spelling. In fact, Tori is frequently photographed wearing Lauren Kiyomi clothing as you can see in this scan from Life & Style! Dayna Devon wore the Lacy Mommy Top on the set of Extra!
Find out more about the line on the website, www.laurenkiyomi.com.
