Minature Baking Cups

We love cupcakes, especially tiny ones that feel so dainty and don't make much of a mess when eaten by excited munchkins.

Bake It Pretty has miniature cupcake liners that make your cupcakes fun and cheerful without the added effort of extra fancy frosting or sprinkles. The carnival stripes would fit well with a circus or carnival-themed birthday party or baby shower.

Stork Sak...

My newest best friend and holder of all necessities. I love stork sak diaper bags, (especially this one) They look like ordinary purses but have all the pockets i need for the sippy cups, treats, and diaper + wipes. You have to look at these!!!

BabyHawk...

Finding a good, no GREAT baby to toddler carrier was hard to find... but i think i've found just the one. I've gotten nothing but great reviews from moms everywhere all about this one of a kind, functional baby carrier. BabyHawk.

"Our [BabyHawk] Mei Tai's (Asian Baby Carriers) are adopted from a Chinese-inspired idea that makes holding your little one on your front, back or hip as safe, as it is comfortable. The weight distribution of our MT's makes wearing you baby more cozy and delightful than you can imagine for longer than you can imagine! Our design is simple to let you strap on or take off your custom Mei Tai quick and easy."

I've had my eyes on this company for a while but had to do my research before i spread the news, but now the research is done and i have heard nothing, nothing, nothing bad about this amazing company. So i will be ordering my custom BabyHawk today, and you should too! There are a ton of options, colors and patterns to choose from, Shop here. Express your style and let us know what's in your BabyHawk cart.

PeaceLoveMom: "A Celebration of Motherhood"

I really, really enjoy companies and products that promote all the wonderful things about being a parent and make you feel really good about a life that is completely delightful, yet frequently overwhelming. PeaceLoveMom is one such company that follows through on their claim of celebrating motherhood. Their line of apparel is cheerful and inspiring, along with being well made and super comfortable. It is a simple act, but putting on a shirt that expresses your pride in your role really is empowering! I know my thermal top will be getting a lot of wear this winter.

Lucky Mom thermal PeaceLoveMom thermal

With the weather getting colder every day, any of the cozy thermals or a shirt from the holiday line would be a great pick. There is even a selection of hats which, if you are like me, would be perfect for those days that you are running out the door while pulling your hair back in a ponytail.

Three Potato Four

I first spotted Three Potato Four a while ago on B : Kids and finally just purchased something this week after many times browsing through their fun site.. I love speedy service and awesome customer service {are they the same thing?} and I received both from this lovely shop - it is always such a pleasure to find that + amazing goodies.

With all that said, I highly recommend Three Potato Four. A great "go to" place for a gift.
Have a fun weekend!

Thing 1-Thing 2 Twin Baby Shower

Yet another fantastic and fun baby shower idea from the Hostess with the Mostess! This one is for a twin shower, based on Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat. Amy at Stem executed this idea perfectly and with style. I just love that blue & red together!

Go here for more of the shower. Go here to see more from Jenn at Hostess with the Mostess.

Sprinkle Baby Shower

I love the of idea of throwing a smaller baby shower for baby #2 or 3...or 4 or 5. It's a great way to celebrate a new addition to your family, regardless of the fact that you may already have everything you need from your firstborn. {Plus, it's a great excuse to get together with your girlfriends!}

Jenn of Hostess with the Mostess put together a whole bunch of great ideas for a "Sprinkle Shower" for Parents.com. I'm in love with everything she suggested, from the invitations right down to serving sprinkle donuts as a treat.
