Shop Local: Support Neighborhood Toy Stores

Going to the toy store is a magical experience and a real treat for kids. Local toy stores often have impressive displays of stuffed animals, dolls and trains. My son’s favorite spot is the train table at our local store.

While he plays happily with Thomas the Tank Engine and friends, I have the opportunity to discover some high-quality toys unavailable at the big box stores. And I can count on the friendly store owner to provide expert advice on the best gifts for the kids on my holiday list (and free gift wrapping on my purchases).

Another helpful source of shopping advice is the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association (ASTRA) 2009 Best Toys for Kids Award Winners. Over 500 of America’s top independent and neighborhood toy retailers selected the Best Toys for Kids based on their experience and understanding of what kids like.

Nursing Moms have the right to feel sexy too, and the right bra can make a nursing mama feel more attractive. Nursing Mother Supplies is owned by a mom and lactation consultant, who only stocks products she has tried and recommends for breastfeeding mamas.

When my son was born in April, Jen (the owner) helped me pick out just the right bras and breastpump accessories. I knew I liked the Bravado Original Nursing Bra (see full review here) since I’d originally purchased some from figleaves for $45 each to use as maternity bras during my pregnancy.
After baby was born and I started breastfeeding, I discovered that I needed A LOT more bras. (Why …
