Kushies Kritters & Cute Baby Clothes

July 4th, 2010 by Theresa Gould

Happy 4th of July!

Last month I won a Kushies Kritter, which I cannot find on their website for some reason?! (Found it!) It is the Ku Ku Bird Kritter. He is a funky looking bird who is getting tucked away for our new baby – I’ve nicknamed him Mr. Ku Ku Bird. He is a stuffed animal, but also a little pillow. His body is the pillow part.

I noticed there is also a matching Ku Ku Bird blanket as well:

As you strive to put together a creative, modern nursery, it can be difficult to find a mobile that matches your sense of style. Some of us are crafty enough to tackle the project and create our own unique piece, while others (like me!) are left trawling all over the internet in a desperate quest for something we can stand to look at every day.

Enter three fabulous companies, each offering their own (affordable) take on the modern mobile:

gifts-define
1. At Gifts Define, the DECO Mobile offers six adorable and colorful handmade options with themes ranging from “Home Sweet Home” to “Bird Parade.” Each sells for $78.

2. At Petit Collage, three stylish bamboo mobiles offer new parents an environmentally friendly (and retro-cool) choice priced right at just $68 each.

3. At Hanging Mobile Gallery, new parents can browse through a wide range of options in categories such as “Educational,” “Baby and Child,” or “Modern” to make the perfect selection for their little one. Best of all, prices start under $30.

Enter Our Fair Indigo “Joobles” Contest!!

December 11th, 2008 by The Fashionable Housewife

8 Comments

Update: Contest is closed. Congrats to our winner, Erin!

We’re giving away an adorable, handmade Jooble from Fair Indigo!!

Retailing for just $29 each, Joobles can be found online at www.fairindigo.com or at specialty e-tailers like Oompa.com. Visit Fair Indigo’s website to see detailed images of each animal. The colorful characters range from turquoise to celery green.

Where do Joobles come from? Started by a Peruvian family — a mom, a dad, and their daughter — this company provides work and hope to hundreds of rural and urban Peruvians all over the country. Small groups of impoverished workers are trained to run their own small businesses making hand-knit clothing and accessories. In addition to providing much needed employment, they train workers throughout Peru in such valuable skills as quality control and production planning. Fair Indigo also works with this company’s charitable arm by donating free breakfasts and school supplies to children of the workers.

Parents who have shopped for organic toys will appreciate the value of Joobles. Other pricier knit toys not only cost more, but are often made of acrylic yarn and not made under fair trade conditions. Joobles are not only 100% adorable but will improve our planet for the next generation by supporting small sustainable farming and fair trade. Isn’t it amazing how the right toy can make a difference?

Want To Win One?

All you have to do it visit www.fairindigo.com and click on the About Fair Trade tab on the top right hand side. Then just enter in the Contest Box below and briefly describe the concept of fair trade and what you learned from reading the page.

Other Details:

The winner may choose 1 Joobles as their prize. (Icy the Penguin and Jiffy the Giraffe are already sold out!)

Contest is open from Dec 11-14th. Must enter before midnight on Dec 14th. Must be 18 or older to enter. Must be in USA or Canada to enter.

Review: Halo Baby DVD

July 3rd, 2008 by The Fashionable Housewife

1 Comment

Halo Baby is a new video series created just for babies ages three years and under and the Christian parents who love them! Inspirational and informational, Halo Baby incorporates simple faith-based elements into each learning video to sow the love of God into young spirits while keeping their attention with fun pictures, puppets and animation!

Each Halo Baby episode features exclusive “babyfied” classical and orchestrated music by legendary composer and musician Paul Todd. Also, every program features high-tech animation, beautiful babies and fun animal video. High-quality puppets — Angel Gabey, Sammy the Sheepdog, Sarah the Sheep and the Angel Fish — engage babies in an interactive fashion while also introducing them to simple educational elements like counting, shapes and colors. Parents will love that they can chose to watch an entire half-hour program or several short segments if they want to limit baby’s TV time. Bonus features are also included on each video. Halo Baby is a wonderful way to entertain your baby while educating them about God’s wonderful world!

Halo Baby is produced by four-time Emmy award winning producer, Kathleen L. Johnson, President of Sky Angel Productions, LLC (www.skyangel.com) with child development guidance from Leslie S.Holland MSRC, LMHC, and child educator Leslie A. Nelson.

Halo Baby airs on the national children’s channel, KTV-Kids & Teens Television, seen on the Sky Angel IPTV television system and soon the DISH Network satellite television system.

If you don’t have Sky Angel, you can get Halo Baby on DVD!

In “Babies Love Animals”, exclusive “babyfied” classical and orchestrated music by legendary composer and musician Paul Todd is set to videos of adorable animals, perky pets, animal animation and beautiful babies. High-quality puppets — Angel Gabey, Sammy the Sheepdog, Sarah the Sheep and the Angel Fish — educate children on animal basics in an interactive fashion while also introducing them to counting.

Educational skills taught: Animal identification, animal sounds and counting.

We have the “Babies Love Animals” DVD and I think it’s great for babies. Most of the shows on popular kids stations like Noggin and Sprout are too mature for babies and don’t keep their attention. If you have a little one anywhere from birth to 1 year old, they are going to love this DVD. Our little Bambino loved it and I even let my sister in law borrow the DVD for her little boy (6mos) and he liked it too!

You can purchase the DVD right on their website >>

Price: $15

Play ‘n Pat Water Mat from Munchkin

May 6th, 2008 by The Fashionable Housewife

1 Comment

The Fashionable Bambino loves her Play ‘n Pat Water Mat from Munchkin! It’s quite entertaining for her busy little hands. It’s like bath time, only dryer! Sometimes I put her bath toys on it and she loves that too.

The Munchkin site says, “Whooshing sounds and squishy sensations make our Frog water play mat a big hit. Large floating characters swim around when your child pushes the mat. Bright colors and patterns keep baby stimulated and the mat even teaches a lesson in cause and effect. Inflatable bumpers cushion your little one’s arms and wrists as they play on the floor or high chair. It’s a frog mat that will have you jumping for joy!”

We think that it’s great for babies that can sit up by themselves, but aren’t expert crawlers or creepers yet. Is also good entertainment in the high chair too! We love the Play ‘n Pat Water Mat and think it would make a great baby shower gift!
