We have found an absolutely terrific and innovative product by the two very smart women of Shady Day.

A Unique Onesie Set
2007-05-07 17:23:00
We recently received this very cute outfit from Mi Omy. All babies need lots of onesies and this one is different than most others. It features a sewn on patch of sweet footprints and it includes these matching pants. Very soft, 100% cotton. The designer features several different patches including a frog, moon, heart, jeweled tiara, queen bee, star, duck, and footprints in 4 colors. These designs can be added to onesies, pants, or her origial line of burpies. Speaking of her burpies, she sent me a white one with red fringe (the mia pia). It will look so cute monogrammed with your baby's initials and the fringe is available in 6 primary designer colors. She also makes burpies edged in dots. If you are interested in purchasing this cute onesie/pant set or her burpies, you can contact MI OMY at miomyinc@yahoo.com or contact us for more information.Onesie sets are available in 4 sizes (newborn to 34lbs.)

Kamik Rain Boots
2007-04-18 21:14:00
You know what they say- April showers bring May Flowers. Why not be stylish at the same time? I love these stylish, yet practical rain boots from Kami k.They use specially treated materials, then, working from the inside to keep water from entering membranes, waterproof tapes or sealants are applied to all seamed areas.When water enters a outer membrane of a boot it creates a differing friction that can result in blistering and discomfort. Wet footwear is also an ideal habitat for fungal and bacteriological growth–causing odor, and deterioration of the product. Who knew?They offer a nice selection of prints including Pucci inspired daisy prints and have sizes available for mom, too. I found the best deal at Zappos. Only $30.95 a pair for infant/toddler sizes.

Don't feel guilty for giving your kids lollipops!
2007-04-16 18:09:00
I confess- I keep a big bag of lollipops in my purse to keep my kids occupied while running errands. Yes, sometimes the bag is empty by the time we leave the store. Whatever keeps you sane- right? I do feel a tad bit guilty thinking about what this is doing to their teeth and bodies. Until..................... I discovered this great product by Yummy Earth. Just in time for Earth Day (April 22nd), these lollipops are made without processed sugars or artificial flavors. Choose from flavors such as cheeky lemon, mango tango and pomengranate pucker. These organic pops get their hues from wholesale ingredients such as purple carrots and red cabbage. Invented by 2 dads looking for a healthier lollipop alternative. Read the whole story at yummyearth.com and purchase a bag while you are there. Ah, my guilt is easing............
