When I was a little girl, I had long curly hair.  Except most of the time instead of looking like Shirley Temple, I looked more like Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett.  My mom would tame my mane with a leave-in conditioner, or “detangler”. Now, I have my own curly girly with beautiful ringlets that get knotty easily and I went looking at my favorite natural children’s lines for a decent detangler with no luck.
So, I was excited to hear from Sparklehearts–makers of very fun, very sparkly, natural hair care …

Toddlers seem to just love to play in the water. In the bath, at the sink, or running through the sprinkler, getting wet is tons of fun.

Like many little girls, my daughter has also grown very attached to her dolls. She loves the cloth ones and does not want to put them away while she plays in the water.

So, the Tidoo Lutin Bright Doll Corolle sent us has become a favorite around here anytime we’re splashing around.

If you had a material that was super-absorbent, UV protective, moisture-wicking, luxuriously soft, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and earth-friendly, wouldn’t you use it on your baby?

Bamboo is the new wonder fabric and it is put to perfect use in the soft, sweet, and chic new BamBoo Hugs…

Babyproofing experts recommend putting a faucet cover over the bathtub spout to protect your baby’s head from bumps and burns.  
When baby got too big to bathe in the sink, I bought the original Boon Flo spout cover ($14.99).  There were cheaper options, but I picked the Boon Flo because it easily accomodated the shower pull and looked more grown up than the popular Elmo and cartoon character faucet covers. With its spring grip, the Flo was easy to attach and remove from my faucet. And the soft rubbery material provides enough …

Imagine a toy that is reusable, suitable for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, rolls up for storage, and inspires creativity without any mess–and you’ll have Aquadoodle.  My daughter will draw all day long, but she always wants a clean page.  We save a few of her paintings, but mainly she just enjoys doodling. Since she is not attached to any of her masterpieces quite yet, it seems a shame to fill page after page, wasting all those trees.  So, I was eager to see if she would take to an …

Ever since I started using Belli Pregnancy Safe Acne Wash on the advice of Mama-To-Be, I’ve been a fan of Belli Maternity Care.
The products are on the pricier side but I find that the quality and peace of mind are worth it–plus, their tubes and jars of creams, lotions, and cleansers go a long way.
Belli makes a full line of skin care for pregnant moms and for baby and is the #1 Recommended Pregnancy Skin Care Collection Among OB-Gyns because the ingredients are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding and the …

Always on the look-out for natural products for baby, I was so excited to hear about methodbaby and methodkid bath products (from net pal mod*mom).
Already a fan of method’s hand wash and dish soap, I couldn’t wait to check out these natural, phthalate-free and paraben-free baby bath products.
We started with the 99% natural, rice and mallow all-over Squeaky Green baby hair+body wash, which is tear-free, hypo-allergenic and pediatrician tested.  The wash made plenty of fun, gentle suds and smelled of yummy marshmallows.  My favorite feature is the reusable lid that …

Parents everywhere are going to be thrilled with the Oopsy Daisy Beautiful Baby no-rinse shampoo and body wash products.
Inevitably, babies are at their messiest when you want them to look their best. Suddenly, your tot decides to wear a bowl of food as her hat right before grandma’s birthday party. Or, you are traveling with the next stop hours away and your sensitive toddler is crying because her hands are sticky. Or perhaps you just got out of the pool and want to get the chemicals off of baby’s skin …

A great baby shower favor should reflect the mama-to-be’s personality and be a treat guests will enjoy. Mama Luxe and Fairy Godmother, who hosted my baby shower, knew that LUSH bath products are one of my favorite things and that my taste in baby clothing is fairly traditional. Mama Luxe has sophisticated and hip taste in baby clothing, but I gravitate towards bunnies, bears and anything sweet-looking or old-fashioned.
Knowing my love of cutesy animals, Mama Luxe and Fairy Godmother chose a bunny-theme for my shower. To match the …
