Scarrots

Usually I ignore the random press releases that arrive in my inbox but I found the idea of "Scarrots" as a Halloween hand out too cute. My kids would prefer chocolate, lollipops or licorice, but I’m sure the Dentist would approve of these pre-packaged Halloween themed baby carrots that also come with a temporary tattoo. … Read more

PopChips

Who else is obsessed with Pop Chips? We love these popped snacks! And they are natural too so far better then the junk food style potato chips we used to devour at lunch time.

Best Gifts for a New Baby


Looking for the Best Gifts for a New Baby? Check out our list for some simple and easy inspiration! 

Is someone you know expecting a new baby soon? Are you not sure what kinds of gifts are appropriate to welcome a new baby? If you have a baby shower coming up but are stumped about what gifts to look for, here are the five most basic items that you cannot go wrong with.

Baby Blankets

Soft, snugly, and oh so sweet. And they’re great for the baby too! Baby blankets are a must for so many reasons. They not only provide warmth when the weather is chilly, they also double for so many other uses. Parents can use a blanket to protect their shoulders during burping, to protect their babes during diaper changes, and as baby’s first teething toy when the chewing phase begins.


Easy Slip on Clothes

Newborns are tiny and fragile, and many new parents are too tired to try to mess with complicated snaps, buttons, and ties. Look for clothing that slips on and off easily, and that has wide neck holes for baby’s head. Newborn gowns are the favorite among many new parents. If you can afford it, many parents prefer clothing that is organic for their newborns. Organic cotton and bamboo are two options that are soft, safe, and still very cute.
