Trumpette Mary Jane & Cowboy Baby Socks

2009-11-09T15:42:00.001-05:00

These are, without a doubt, the most adorable baby socks I've ever come across. Your little girl will be the picture of all things cute and perfect clad in any of these Trumpette Mary Jane socks. Not to be outdone, little boys will look equally cute in these Cowboy socks. Each set brings six pairs of socks, all in different colors.

Baby Gear: South Shore Baby Changing Table

2009-11-03T15:03:00.001-05:00

I love white furniture for a baby's room. My son had all white furniture in his, and it brightened up the room beautifully. While I'm pleased with the quality of his changing table, this South Shore design is too darling and practical to overlook. The top is flanked by two security planks (very thoughtful) and three cubby holes provide easy access to all the diapering items one would need. Keep onesies and towels in the two drawers provided or use them to store extra diapers and supplies. The great thing about this design is the fact that it will easily convert to a practical storage unit once your baby becomes a toddler. The cubby holes will be the ideal place to store baskets filled with small toys and books. Plus, the South Shore Baby Changing Table is well priced at $199. Now your baby's room can be a sweet (and functional) place for both you and your little bundle to spend time in.

Measurements: 37"H 20"W 35"D

Cool Kids Wristband Watch

2009-11-01T14:03:00.005-05:00

Here's the ideal watch for any sports enthusiast. Your little fashionista can play on the soccer field in style and still keep time with this Cool Kids Wristband Watch ($33.20). The stainless steel quartz movement watch sits on an elasticized wristband. It's available in several colors, but red is my personal favorite for girls. Even when she sweats, your sporty girl will look modern and chic.

Note: There are no numbers on this watch so it's more appropriate for older kids that can tell time with ease.

As a child, a trip to the movie theater would not be complete without a box of Sno.Caps sitting on my lap. As my son grows up, I hope to pass on my love for these yummy, sprinkle-covered chocolate treats onto him.

So what's your favorite Halloween candy? How about your little kiddie fashionista? Let me know.

Fab Mommy "Must-Read": The Manny by Holly Peterson

2007-08-24T10:11:00.000-04:00

Wealthy, sexy people have problems too! No, really, they do. Sit down and read journalist Holly Peterson's scathing satire, The Manny, and you'll come to realize the über-rich are just as lost as the rest of us. Of course, most of us don't live in Manhattan townhouses with views of Central park, or run in social circles among folks with "old money", or have a small army of household help in the form of housekeepers, cooks and chauffeurs, or find the need to enlist the services of a "manny" - a male nanny! After reading Holly's book, though, you'll want to scour your local parks in search of a young, handsome hunk to play Xbox with your son or pretend fairytale time with your daughter. This author skillfully paints a portrait of life's most frivolous desires mixed with its' basic needs and shows us that money can't buy you love or security, but it might just get you a darn good nanny, I mean, MANNY!

The Manny by Holly Peterson is available for $16.50 via Amazon.com.
