Swimwear that Protects from the Sun
As the heat sets in this summer many families will head to the beach and the pool. We intend to hit the water as well, but I know that I am not the only mom that worries about exposing little delicate skin to the harsh sun. Yes, we will arm ourselves with suntan lotion (SPF 60), big hats, and umbrellas for shade, but we will also put our child in a new type of UPF 50 swimming suit from the Gap that will also fight those harsh sun-rays. We like having that little bit of added protection, so that if the suntan lotion washes off, our little one will still be protected. So bring on the water, beach, and fun, this mom knows the summer has just begun (and now she feels better about it).
Unique Baby Gifts
It is hard to keep finding great gifts for all of mom’s friends and family (especially when mom’s friends keep having babies!). This mom has several favorite gift items for a new baby (and a new mamma), but I also have a set of “mom’s favorite” places to buy and find unique baby gifts (does mom really need any more generic picture frames?):
One gift that many of my girlfriends have received from me, is a hand-made quilt from Quilt-Baby. Honestly, this company has some of the cutest things, and they have shipped things for us all the way to Austrailia!
Trendy Tots at http://www.trendytots.typepad.com also has handmade, and original, kids clothes and baby gear.
On E-Bay check out http://stores.ebay.com/Maternally-Posh”>Maternally Posh for some very “cool” baby things.

Celebrate Spring
Spring is here and that means Spring Break is here too! So how to entertain the entire family when days get long, the rains stop, and the sun shines? We love this slide – and you can use it inside or out!
We love the beach & this bucket set is great for kids if you are going to be heading to the beach or just to the sandbox!
Gap has reasonable and durable clothes for kids – and tons of shorts, hats, and sun glasses to choose from!
