Just Buzzin' By

My current obsession is pocket bibs, like this:


Just Buzzin' By has some adorable ones.

And all their products are free of PVC, phthalates, and lead. Excellent.

Gloucester Oneseas

From the Gloucester Oneseas website:

gloucester oneseas is a line of soft goods and gifts that not only expresses our love for the sea and its creatures, but also supports its conservation. By partnering with The Ocean Project, we encourage parents to educate their children on what they can do personally to “go blue”.

How freaking cool is that? And their bebe stuff isn't too shabby either.

My favorite item is the Pinch Me onesie (toddler tee also available):


And the Squirmy onesie is pretty darn cute, too!

Maghound

I am once again veering off my usual path of bebe items, to bring you MagHound. It is perhaps the coolest idea for magazine subscriptions. Ever. Basically, you pay a monthly rate (starting at $4.95) for a set number of magazines (3, 5, 7, or more!) And you can change the magazines you receive at any time.

I think it is genius. Hopefully you will too!

Psycho Baby

Psycho Baby has amazing stuff for all you cool, hip parents out there (you know who you are!)

Because, seriously, every nursing mom needs a Ramone's Jug Rug!


And there are tons more great items where this came from. Go check it out.

Bebe Bear

Bebe Bear is just one of the great sites that sell Right Bank Babies. How cute is this stuff?

reversible Leslie dress:



Or, if you're looking to splurge, check out Amber Hagen's luxurious cashmere, like this dino blanket:

Right Bank Babies

If you haven't seen Right Bank Babies, go there. Now. Their clothes are insanely cute. And not insanely priced. And most of it is reversible. So it's like two looks in one! Here are some of my favorites...

reversible Laurie dress:



reversible Annie skirt:



You can't buy their clothes on their site, but there are tons of online retailers out there. I'm posting one of my favorites tomorrow.

Baby Style

I love, love, love Baby Style.

They have these adorable dresses on sale for only $15 right now.


And one of my favorite bebe items of all time, the Ollie the Octopus Stuffed Chair. (They have other animals too: pig, lamb, hippo, and puppy.)



And free shipping on orders $125+ right now. Get shopping!

InchBug rocks!

If you haven't checked out InchBug.com yet, go there. Now.

They feature one of my favorite bebe products of all time, the BumpyName Orbit Labels. Aren't they great?



And they have an entire section devoted to Dad Gear. With macho items like this cargo vest wearable diaper bag.

Ellie Bellie Kids

Ellie Bellie Kids = yet another rocking site for bebe items.

Looking for an adorable alternative to a backpack? Check out their mini messenger. Way too freaking cute!



They also have capes and tutus. I am seriously in love with this store!

The Polkadot Platypus

Um, how can you NOT shop at a store called The Polkadot Platypus? Seriously cute.

My favorite section is gifts. Because, come on, who wouldn't love these?

Tillie the Turtle Bathtime Gift Set (or Finley the Frog for the fellas):



Welcome to the World Wagon Gift Set in blue (also available in pink):



Or this Dilly the Duck Cashmere Booster Pillow/Growth Chart:



AND they have $5 shipping right now. Go buy something!

Izzy and Ash

Check out Izzy and Ash for all the hipster brands you have been drooling over for your bebe.

They have Trumpette socks, including these adorable 7 dwarves ones:

They also have Harajuku Lovers, created by my mom crush Gwen Stefani. Check out this Gwen onesie:


Along with about eleventy billion other awesome brands.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Buttermilk Lotion (try saying that 10 times fast!)

Have you seen this stuff? If not, check it out for your bebe. It is phthalate- and paraben-free. And smells delish!

Baby Gear Buyer

Check out this awesome Pregnant (Not Fat) tee I found at Baby Gear Buyer:


But Baby Gear Buyer isn't your typical bebe store. In fact, it isn't a store at all!

From their website:
Baby GearBuyer's mission is to help you make the best buying decisions for all of your baby related product shopping. We do this by aggregating information from many online retailers, then optimizing it for efficient product comparison and searching. We make it easy to find the exact baby products you want at the lowest price without spending hours searching and clicking.

Long story short, it is basically a search engine devoted to items for your bebe. Completely cool.

Let me know what other great stuff you find!

happy as a lark and crazy as a loon

From the lark and loon website: lark and loon commissions original pieces from artists and turns them into unique, wonderfully soft, carefree clothing for children ages 2 to 12. all of our tees, drops and leggings are pure cotton, printed with water-based inks and usa made.

Their stuff is crazy cool and completely unique. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Ruff short-sleeve tee:


Treehouse drop and pants:

The Spoon Sisters

The Spoon Sisters is another great site full of amazingly unique gift ideas. Like these...

super cute dinosaur utensils:


Mary Jane baby socks:

HYP (Hip Young Parent) Radio

If you are reading my blog, I'm going to assume you are at least one of these: hip, young, parent. If I'm right, go check out Hip Young Parent Radio. Now.

Your children and your Barney-weary eardrums will thank you.

Tie Buddies

Is your bebe learning how to tie their own shoes? Then check out Tie Buddies.

They have a fairies and magic wands version:


And a race car version:


They work by creating the shoe lace loops for your bebe, making it much easier to tie the show lace. Genius, I say. Why didn't I think of that?

well-seasoned candidates

I'm featuring these presidential salt and pepper shakers because they are funny. See for yourself:

Monogram Chick

What kid (mom) doesn't like to see their name on something adorable. Well, check out Monogram Chick for tons of great personalized stuff.

Like this adorable seersucker lunchbox:


Or this diaper roadie (great idea too!):


Or my favorite item on the site, personalized address stamps, like this one:


Go there. Now.

BPA-free sippy cups and more!

I know a lot of parents are concerned about where to find BPA-free sippy cups. And these Kleen Kanteen cups from Reusable Bags rock!


The plain stainless one is on sale right now, but they also have adorable colored ones.

And, even if you're not in the market for a sippy, check out the rest of the stuff on the Reusable Bags site. Like these seriously cute happybags totes. No reason to not be eco-friendly, especially when you can look this cute while doing it!

The Yoga Zoo

Check out the great products at The Yoga Zoo.


Amazingly cute animals in all your favorite yoga poses, like the turtle, the dead bug, and downward dog.



They also have plush bookmarks, logo apparel, and more!

Whether you are a yoga fan or not, these little guys are too cute to pass up.

Preggers n' Proud

Against my better judgement, I am going to recommend a company with the work "preggers" in their title: Preggers n' Proud. Because, even though that word makes me gag, their stuff is just too damn cute to pass up!

How cute is this Hot Mom shirt?


Or this Buddha Baby tee?

My new best friend...

I'm going a bit off my usual choice for product here, and am going to talk to you about laundry detergent. Not just any detergent though, BIZ. A shopaholic mom's best friend.

If you're like me and spend too much money on your bebe's clothes (and, since you're reading my blog, I'm going to assume that you are, in fact, just like me!) then you know there are few things more disturbing than your lavishly dressed bebe covered in spaghetti sauce.
Or grass stains.
Or chocolate milk.
Or any of the 10,000+ other things bebes manage to smear on themselves.

If you haven't tried it already, march your little butt down to (insert your favorite grocery-type store here. I'll say Target.) and buy some BIZ tomorrow. Then add it to all your washer with your favorite detergent, and watch the stain-eating fairies (BIZ's secret ingredient) work their magic.

You can thank me for saving all your bebe's clothes later.
