The Children’s Place Gets Preppy for Spring- PLUS Contests!

February 3rd, 2012 by Lucie Amberg

With all the play 80s fashion has been getting for the past several years, I was pleased to see The Children’s Place featuring preppy looks when I shopped its Spring event a few days ago. While it’s true that stripes, plaids, and bows flood me with those fuzzy John Hughes-esque memories of my childhood, they’re also staples of classic fashion and always at home on kids.

I love the pretty looks that TCP is showing for girls:

and the preppy basics for boys:

Of course it’s TCP, so although timeless stripes and madras abound, there are also cheeky, trendy details to please edgy parents and kids. Just check out the “logo” on this striped polo:

And even though Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, he’s a groundhog not a meteorologist, so I thing we’d all be wise to get our Spring shopping going. TheChildren’sPlace.com is making that easy with the following offer, now thru 2/06:

30% off orders of $60+ with code U2G2012
25% off orders of $50+ with code V2G2012

Crocs Dawson Boots Kids Comfortable Shoes Review

Crocs Dawson Boot (Children's) - Bubblegum/Chocolate

Crocs Dawson Boot Kids Shoes


Got these for my son (15 months old) in a size 5, in black. He’s been wearing them inside and outside for weeks. I like them because he can’t take them off easily, they keep his feet warm and they appear to be very comfortable. He has a few pairs of shoes/boots that he won’t keep on his feet and he visibly complains about… “Off! Off!” he says to me and points at his feet. He never seems to have an issue with these boots though.

They are super freaking cute, look great with all his pants and are easy to put on with zippers on the inside. (No laces! Yay!) They are also lightweight and easy for him to walk in. I also like they they are supportive for his feet and ankles. How can you go wrong?

Retail: $50.00

Last-Minute Christmas: Pajamas from The Children’s Place

December 21st, 2011 by Lucie Amberg

0 Comments

   

When do you open your Christmas gifts? At our house, we’ve settled into a tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve and saving all the rest for the next morning. Since this wasn’t how either my husband or I did it growing up, I’m not sure how we came up with this, but I love it. And for the past few years that Christmas Eve present has been one very specific item– pajamas.

Taking the time to wash everyone’s pajamas before I wrap them means we can wake up Christmas morning wearing our new jammies, so we’re ready for photos as we leisurely (ha!) unwrap our remaining presents.

If you’re looking for cute pajamas for your kids, I highly recommend The Children’s Place. My little guy exclusively wears TCP pajamas, and I’ve found them to be durable, warm, and comfy. Plus, with almost every option under $20 (and some even less than $15 or $10), they make an easy add-on gift. Check out a few options below:

Girls’

Toddler Girls’

Boys’

Toddler Boys’


Infants’

Since there are so many Children’s Place locations, you should be able to find adorable pajamas near you. If– like me –however, you are still scrambling and need something delivered directly to you, Children’sPlace.com is offering guaranteed Christmas delivery for all orders placed by 11 AM ET on 12/23! Even better- orders under $75 ship for just $5, and orders over $75 ship for FREE.



Mamatini – The Drink for Breastfeeding Moms That Helps Increase Milk Supply

September 2nd, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

1 Comment

   

If you are a mom or a mom-to-be you’re going to want to read this post!

With my first child, I had a really bad experience with breastfeeding. I persevered for 17 months, but ultimately I had to stop due to many factors including low milk supply, plugged ducts, a lot of pain due to poor latch and a couple run-ins with Mastitis to name a few. When I became pregnant with my second, I was terrified I was going to have a horrible experience nursing again. I wasn’t going to give up though…

I was pretty excited when Mamatini contacted me a couple months before my due date and asked me to review their organic herbal tea that promised to increase milk supply. A low milk supply was one of the biggest problems I had last time around, so I was really excited to try Mamatini.

Mamatini™ is an all-natural, organic herbal infusion that was created with your specific needs in mind. You realize that breastfeeding your baby is the best way to ensure that your child receives the most perfect nutrition and immunity-building proteins during his or her first year of life. You know that the experience of breastfeeding will bond you and your baby more than anything else you will do together. Mamatini will help you breastfeed better by boosting milk supply, increasing your energy and increasing your ability to absorb and retain critical nutrients your body is using to produce milk for your baby.

Mamatini was created by a pediatrician to help mothers like you breastfeed better, easier, and for longer. So drink to your baby’s good health, and Drink Mamatini™!

Their proprietary formula:

  • Is pediatrician designed and approved
  • Contains herbs used for centuries to increase milk supply
  • Helps your body absorb and retain vitamins and minerals depleted during pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Can help relieve baby’s colic symptoms
  • Provides the energy you need for motherhood
  • Tastes delicious! Try our all-natural and refreshing lemon flavor made with organic ginger.

I drank my first bottle of Mamatini while I was in labor and my second bottle within 3 hours of giving birth. It was one of the first things I could stomach after my intense and rapid labor and delivery. (4 hours of labor and 2 pushes!) I labored and gave birth at home, in a birthing tub with no medication or drugs. It was a beautiful experience being at home where I was comfortable and with my family. And it was wonderful to have my hubby bring me a nice cold bottle of Mamatini as I laid in our king size bed with our new little muffin. :-)

I love the flavor – ginger lemon. It’s a very mild tea-like flavor that you’ll adore. It tastes so refreshing ice cold!

Anyone with breastfeeding experience knows it usually takes 36-48 hours for your milk to “come in” after giving birth. My milk came in within 24 hours after drinking 3 bottles of Mamatini, which really surprised and delighted me!

It took me about a week to drink the entire case (12 bottles) of Mamatini. I noticed a plentiful supply of breastmilk which made nursing my new baby a completely different experience. He was able to latch on really well and I was able to relax because I knew he was getting nourished. His birth weight was 8.5lbs and he went right back to his birth weight within 4 days of being born and has been gaining a pound a week since then.

Mamatini made a huge difference in my new baby too. He didn’t have any symptoms of colic at all and slept peacefully and for several hours at a time from day one. Just a completely different experience from my first child and I attribute a lot of it to Mamatini.

I believe that Mamatini helped me so much, that I purchased an entire case of it as soon as I finished the first case I was sent to review. I didn’t want to go one day without it!

Mamatini was on backorder for several months and I was unable to order more. I’ll tell ya, I definitely noticed my milk supply decrease and my normally content and peaceful baby was suddenly getting fussy, had occasional indigestion and wasn’t sleeping quite as well anymore. To me, that was proof that Mamatini is absolutely essential and worth every penny….

I was so glad when Mamatini was finally back in stock and I could get more! Hallelujah!!!!

Go Anywhere Portable Booster Seat for Kids

August 14th, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

1 Comment

   

The ASTM-compliant Go Anywhere Booster Seat is a popular choice for on-the-go parents in Europe, and it’s now available in the USA.

 

This clever booster seat attaches to a wide variety of seat and chair styles, and completely folds up into a small travel-friendly bag with strap and handle. The Go Anywhere Booster Seat is the only booster seat on the market that complies to ASTM standards, so parents have peace of mind knowing their child is safe and secure in the seat.

Booster Seat Facts:

  • Weighs 1.5 lbs.
  • Holds child up to 40 lbs
  • Three sets of adjustable straps to secure to a chair.
  • Five point restraint harness.
  • Only booster for feeding that meets ASTM certification.
  • BPA & Phthalate free.
  • Wipe clean seat.
  • Ideal for traveling and everyday use.
  • Compact, lightweight and easy to carry.
  • Folds up easily into bag shape with handle and shoulder strap.
  • Chic and Hip looking.
  • Espresso Color.

 

I found this booster chair to be extremely convenient, easy to use, and ideal for taking into restaurants when we go out to eat so that we don’t have to use the filthy, germ-ridden high chairs that the restaurants provide. It works well for my almost 1 year old who weighs 22 lbs. It also works great for my 4 year old who just likes to use it for the novelty of it…

I’ve never seen anything else like this on the market and I think it’s a great idea!

 

Price: $39.99

Online stores that are now carrying the booster seat are:

www.buybuybaby.com

www.babiesrus.com

www.babyage.com

www.whalestalecapemay.com

Fashionable ERGO Baby Carriers & Petunia Pickle Bottom

July 20th, 2011 by The Fashionable Housewife

0 Comments

   

Now I know that some of you don’t have small children and could care less about baby carriers, but for those of you that DO have little ones, you NEED to read this!

First off, we’re totally smitten with Ergo & Petunia Pickle Bottom’s collaboration. They joined forces to create the most fashionable baby carriers on the planet. Three fresh spring patterns from PPB along with the unbelievable comfort and versatility of ERGObaby carriers. I received the classy Innsbruck print carrier to review….

ERGObaby Baby Carrier with Petunia Pickle Bottom Print

This carrier is just gorgeous! Not only is this a super fashionable baby carrier, it’s convenient, easy to use and comfortable.

I have two children – a 4 year old girl and a 10 month old boy. I’ve tried at least a dozen different baby carriers and my favorite to-date is without a doubt the ERGO baby carrier.

It’s so easy to adjust that I can go from wearing my little guy to my husband wearing our big girl! My son is totally comfortable in it, for literally hours. He’s so happy and peaceful as long as he’s strapped on to Mama! Nursing is easy with the Ergo too. I am so happy I got to review the Ergo baby carrier as it has quickly become my favorite thing. I got the it over two weeks ago and I’m just loving it!

I also love that it has this convenient weather shade that you can pull over their head to shade them from heat, rain, etc while they are sleeping. Also comes in handy when wearing the baby on the front and nursing. Nobody knows but you and baby!

PLEASE!!! Don’t mind my appearance… It was 100 degrees out the day my husband took this pic and I was about to do some yard work, so I didn’t really care to dress “fashionably”!!! lol

My husband loves the Ergo too…

It’s way easier to use than the Maya wrap or Moby. No long pieces of cloth that you need to figure out how to use or 25 page manual that you have to study. It’s more versatile than the basic slings like Hotslings or Slingling. And best of all, it’s more comfortable for you and your child than Infantino or Baby B’jorn.

Visit http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/ for more info and to purchase your own!

The ERGO PPB is now available to purchase on NORDSTROM.com
