Got Drool? Tired of bibs that cover that cute outfit?

Logan wearing the Blue & Green
Mod Bandana!

My 4 month old is constantly spitting up or drooling therefore he is wearing bibs all the time that hide his cute outfits. I recently saw a baby at a doctor’s office and noticed he had a cute outfit and no bib! I was jealous, silly to be envious of such a silly thing but every picture I have of my son Logan you see a bib!

Then I saw these bandana bibs and thought I would give them a try. I put the bandana bib on him, he looked so cute! I love these adorable bandana bibs! They come in all sorts of patterns so you can make them more of an “accessory” to an outfit then other bibs that are more of an eye sore and even some bibs consume the baby outfit.

The benefit is it also is functional, so while he shows off his new outfit “accessory” his bandana bib will catch all his drool. It also captures the drool even better than a regular bib as the bandana goes right up to the chin.

So it might be a long time before my son wears no bibs, but I can happily say I know he will now look cute when he wears a fashionable bandana bib! If you want your little one to look cute while drooling purchase a couple of bandana bibs to keep on hand. Check out Kewt Kid’s web site, all items are made in Maple Ridge, BC and are washer and dryer friendly!

Don’t you wish you could have a mute button?

When I first saw this product I had to have it! If you are wondering what I mean by mute button, MyPacifier makes soothers you can customize and they have one that says “MUTE” on the pacifier. I love something that makes you laugh or puts a smile on someone’s face!

Not only can you place funny sayings on your soother you can put their nick name on the soother or even their own name. I love this idea as when I go to the gym it’s pretty safe to say “Logan’s” soother will be in his mouth when I pick him up! It will help put an end to missing and switched pacifiers and the spreading of germs and bacteria which means baby is less sick which equals happy baby, happy mommy! With the H1N1 flu virus going around named soothers can sure help the chances of catching it!

You can sure have some fun customizing your pacifier. The pacifiers come in many different colours and models and are available as orthodontic, symmetrical and round nipples in silicone or latex. There is room for up to three lines of text (36 characters) on the pacifier. Think of all the fun you can have like Born to Shop, Go Canucks, Momma’s Boy, Prince Charming, The silencer, Happy Baby Happy Mom and even a holiday message!

So if you want a stylish personalized pacifier that is creative, fun and even useful order some today! Visit http://www.mypacifier.ca to purchase your custom pacifier.



Are you a mom? Need a laugh?

Then go to Mom's the Word 2: Remixed . It is hilarious! You will realize that you are not alone in the childbirth, baby, toddler and the teenage trials and tribulations. This play will have you laughing, crying and you will also see some jaw dropping scenes which had me in stitches.

All the members of this cast are very talented. They will each all move you with their performance. I would have to say my favorite is Deborah Williams. She is the mom no one talks about or admits being, the one that "starts the day out each day as Mary Poppins, but ends up as Cruella DeVille", nothing is left unsaid with her. Another quote I loved from another character in the play said was "When I pass another stroller, we give each other the high sign, like two Harley riders passing on the open road".

This show is a must see for all moms. Take a break and make arrangments for a babysitter and go with your hubby or take a girlfriend with you and share the laughs!

Who can use Lovable Labels?

It is a fact that Lovable Labels is used primarily for children’s stuff, but Lovable Labels can be used by others as well, for example:

  • Moms – we need to label all the family belongings from sporting equipment, travel, and other everyday items.
  • Teachers – personal items teachers use in the classroom have to be labeled for identification, or it often gets lost – never to be returned!
  • Elderly – nursing homes require personal items to be labeled to ensure that they don’t get misplaced or lost. Teachers – personal items teachers use in the classroom have to be labeled for identification, or it often gets lost – never to be returned!
