The "Oi!" bib by Mini Maniacs
All of a sudden I am really into bibs. We received a bunch of bibs prior to the birth of our daughter and, to be frank, I had no use for them…until recently. The introduction of solid foods has caused me to have new appreciation for a few “mom comments” I have heard over the years. I now “get” why moms do so much laundry. I also now understand why bibs are an important part of the baby-rearing arsenal. Amazing the mess a few tablespoons of pureed plums can make! And…even though we own a STACK of bibs, I now understand that you can really, truly never have enough.
Recently I fell in love with these edgy bibs from Mini Maniacs. They are perfect for kiddos (like mine) who make a mess and a whole lot of noise. Mini Maniacs touts that “these high-quality smocks are strong enough for the mosh pit and the high chair”. Now that’s my kind of bib!
The selection of bibs offered by Mini Maniacs is outstanding. Click here to check it out. While I am a big fan of the “Oi!” bib pictured here, the “Trailer Park” and “Loot” Bling Bibs elicited a chuckle from me as well. “Bon Appetit!”

If so, then these cuties are just for you – Kid’s Preferred Asthma and Allergy Friendly Stuffed Toys. read more »
It’s funny the things that bother you as a mother. I have no problem letting our Bernese Mountain Dog lick our daughter from head to toe…but her sitting in a restaurant high chair unprophylaxed somehow grosses me out. Luckily I have come to terms with the fact that the emotions of motherhood are, at many (most!) times irrational and seek now to find rational solutions to irrational fears. Enter the Balboa Baby High Chair / Shopping Cart Cover… read more »
Timbur Rattle
For the unusual and sure to be heirloom rattle, check out Timbur Rattles available at Fawn and Forest.
The graceful lines and gentle sounds are sure to tickle your child’s senses. Each rattle is constructed of all natural wood and filled with natural shell beads and finished with a non-toxic blend of natural oils and wax.
Certainly a much higher pricepoint than a standard issue rattle, but nothing is too good for my baby girl!
Tatamia Highchair/Swing
Ok…maybe “eat, swing, nap” is more appropriate for this uber-cool Tatamia highchair / swing…
Whatever the movie “pun”, we are LOVING this convertible contraption that accommodates your baby’s every whim (up to 20 lbs).
For naptime, it converts to a great bassinet. For playtime, it morphs into a fun swing. For mealtime, it tranforms into a super sleek highchair. Now, if only it could change diapers.
