For The Littles

At The Beach

Just got back from a great visit to Florida to see family. It got me thinking about things that would make a day at the beach even better-if that's possible. Much better than a day at the office.

The Sun Friend Monitor tells you when you've been in the sun too long. It lets you know when it's time to go inside, put more sunscreen on, etc. I think this is a great idea. Especially for kids. It's pretty amazing how sun doesn't show up until it's too late and you've gotten too much. $49.99 at Sun friend. 

I really should have gotten one of these drink spikes for the trip. How cute are these? And so helpful. Find this one at SimpleandSassyGifts on Etsy. $11

Spend a ton of money on those highlights at the salon? Yeah, me too. Seems like a good idea to try and protect them, so you can get your money's worth! The Pre-Soleil Mist from Fekkai has UV filters and adds shine and softness to give your hair a fighting chance. Available for 15.99 here.

For Mom & Baby

Yesterday I was co-hosting a baby shower for a dear friend. So looking forward to meeting Miss Emma Grace! I picked up some adorable outfits from Carter's plus an ECU Pirates cheerleading uniform as she, her husband and my husband are all ECU alums. I started wondering what other neat things are out there for your preggo pals and family members-here is a sample of the cuteness I found.

I have really gotten into these cute little woodland creatures-how sweet! This little burp cloth and bib set from Little Man Originals caught my eye. There are several other choices, and what mom doesn't need extra burp cloths and bibs? That seemed to be the consensus yesterday-like shoes, you can never have too many! $28

These are super neat-obviously not new, but new to me-chewbeads. I always see babies chewing on mom's hair/necklace/anything else within mouth reach. Why not be fashionable and functional? Great for teething, and you can even put them in the dishwasher-nothing better than finding that information out, am I right? Choose your favorite style and color-get one in every color and accessorize! This one is the Astor Teething necklace. It comes in other colors as well. $38.50 and you can order yours (or a gift) here.

Last but not least-a very handy little product. Allergy Alert Labels are perfect gifts for moms. Who doesn't know someone these days that's not allergic to something-sometimes deathly allergic. I thought these were really neat. Personalize them, use them on sippy cups, and even for older kids and adults. You can never be too careful . Get 20 labels for 11.95. These are also dishwasher safe-do you see a theme here? I obviously am not a fan of hand washing! Find these and many other cool products at Inchbug.

A burp cloth set is another great idea for the mom to be. I'm sure that you can never have too many. The Strawberries and Chocolate Burp set from Minkee Baby Gifts is not only sassy, but soft, featuring the minkee material. Set of 3 $17.50

Baby Legs is a great place to find leg warmers and tights to keep little ones toasty. The leg warmers are great because their diapers can still be easily changed. Lots of colors and patterns to choose from. $10

How adorable are these boxers? Choose a sailboat, turtle, frog, seahorse or alligator for these cuties. You can even add initials or a name. Bliss Monogramming-$15.

Where was this when I was little? These capes are so fun-what kid doesn't want to be a superhero? Choose from designs for boys and girls. Sidekick Size (2-4 yrs.) $36 or Superhero Size (3-10 yrs.) $50 at Baby Leo Designs. Now if they could just make one for a thirty-something gal like me....
