A couple of years back when I was writing for AOL, I featured Safety Tat on their homepage. Safety Tat are temporary tattoos like the tattoos you get at a kids party. You stick them on your kids arm and they last for several days. In my opinion, they are perfect for a vacation to Disney or when you are traveling somewhere crowded. You can … [Read more...]

Poor Cole has very sensitive skin. I've talked about it a bit on the blog here before but he basically gets patches of eczema in the summer months. He's just fine in the winter but the combo of the pool chlorine, sun and sun tan lotion is just too much on his skin - especially the back of his legs and his feet. In previous years, we've had nights … [Read more...]
Such a simple design yet so totally perfect: the Light My Way Portable Nightlight is a huge hit in our house for my 6 year old. The handle is the best part - it's easy for little hands to grasp & he can carry it around with him at night.

Wow - this one's a bummer as we loved our Bumbo Seat. But even more interesting, upon a search here on Mommies with Style and Bumbo Seat reviews, I see that Julie posted about a recall back in 2007 of Bumbos for the SAME reason. Yikes. The Huffington Post reported today that Bumbo Seat has recalled more than 4 million Bumbo Seats due to … [Read more...]

My one beef with baby gear is often how short of a time it actually gets used. So I have a special place in my heart for gear that grows with your child or that is multipurpose. One of my latest finds is the mydlink-enabled Wireless N Network Camera (DCS-930L) from D-Link. When you’re shopping for a baby monitor, you’re more likely to end up … [Read more...]
