This pup is so techno smart that he even changes his mood based on your music.  His flashing lights show you how he’s feeling and when he doesn’t get enough love he lets out a little whimper.  Just remember to shut him off because he keeps going and going….A must have!

Available at target.

Spa Baby Tub

I was weirdly intrigued when I saw this European style tub in New York Magazine. Not for the womb-like qualities, or that my baby would be warm and snuggly from toes to chest. I was purely thinking of myself…and how this tub could be one less accident waiting to happen. Who cares if lil’ peanut is squooshed (although in the pics the kids look pretty happy), he can’t slide out of your grip. All I know is this could be my ticket to peace of mind while bathing him. I do see some issues cleaning down south, but I must say it did catch my eye. It’s almost like being in a warm swaddle, and it doesn’t hurt that it’s BPA, PVC, lead and Phthalate free.   Let us know what you think… Would you use this tub?

If it’s your cup of tea, the Spa Baby tub is available from spababytubs.com

Plaid, plaid and of course more plaid. A flannel short, a dress or even a skirt, plaid is back in a big way.

1.    Don’t let you earth conscious kid brown bag it.  How about these adorable lunch and snack sacs that are helping save the planet, while keeping Johnny PB&J perfectly cool.  Personalize them with name, monogram or cool decals.  ($42ea).  www.thebeanscloset.com

3.    Does little Suzie hate getting up in the morning (just like her mama), well maybe it will seem a little more exciting with the Creativity Wake Up! Alarm Clock.
