We think this is a must - reusable swim diapers by Water Pals. I’ve brought so many disposable swim diapers and threw them away after every swim, which is 2-3 times a week. This relieves my environmental waste guilt. It can be worn alone or under swim suits, it’s washable, can contain the “mess”, and it’s SPF 45. Everyone should stock up on these.

We brought the Elizabeth Toddler Bed and it is perfect. It is stylish, semi-enclosed (like the crib), and close to the floor. Comes with 2 bed rails to avoid falling out but we’ve always just used one. My child absolutely loves it and had it since she was 18 months old and also had no problem transitioning to it. The best thing about it is that it can convert to a full size bed just by buying bed rails and it really looks nice! It is also not too pricey (around $200), definitely a great buy!

I came across this down-to-earth grass-roots organization (MomsRising.org) that supports all aspects of family life - especially improving working mothers/families rights. They are very active, very professional and well organized and they are making a big splash (Barack Obama mentioned them by name recently). Supporting their campaigns through online lobbying is very easy. Check out the website at http://www.momsrising.org/

Many of you already know this but the Sleep Sack by Halo Innovations (or any other brand) is great for babies to sleep in (once they are out of swaddling, which is pretty quickly!) They can’t kick this “blanket” off and it will keep them warm while they sleep. They also won’t get over heated since their arms are not covered. It is a great invention, buy several.

I wanted to get my son a scooter and this is a great one to start. It is “My 1st Scooter” by Radio Flyer (and quite styling!) It has 2 wheels in the front instead of 1 so he took to it instantly. There is no learning process and it is great fun for him. I also brought him a helmet, safety first! There is also a pink version for girls.

I am always in need of frames for photos or childrens artwork. The best I have found for low cost are from Ikea. They come in a range of sizes and in black or white but best of all, they come with the mat-board (the usually cream colored cardboard surround that makes the picture look so much more elegant). I cant find frames with the mat anywhere else (for a decent prize). I have however found online sites that sell precut mat for a low price (keyword mat and frame) so I will be checking out frames at the dollar store and an order of precut mats. Should make a nice frame set up for about $2.50.

Just had my first swap of some outgrown kids furniture. Everything went really well - happy donor, happy recipient. This site is a great idea!
