More Outside Baby Cooler Backpacks!

noreply@blogger.com (jana) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:26:00 +0000

You moms have some seriously quick fingers! We figured we'd have plenty of Outside Baby Cooler Backpacks to last the whole day. And within 30 minutes, they were gone. Poof! Every one. I felt so bad for the barrage of moms that quickly emailed us afterward, "No fair! Get more!" We normally don't do this kind of thing, once it's gone it's gone. And as you know we ship your stuff the same day and you often get it within two! But luckily today, they had more and you want them! So hurry. They are already going fast! If you ordered by 9:30amMST, you'll have your bag by Friday. All remaining orders today you'll have no later than next Wednesday!

...and while I was busy trying to get you all hooked up with more, I was amazed at how quiet and cooperative my sweet toddler girl was being. Well moms, silence is dangerous. Within just a few minutes, she painted herself pretty with my makeup.
Oh well, Clinique's Blush Violet was a little bright for me anyway. Looks great on her dark skin, don't 'ya think?

Any ideas on how to get lipstick out of carpet?

Advice Needed

noreply@blogger.com (emily) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 16:18:00 +0000

We started potty training Bubby on Saturday. Since he was so good about giving up his binky i thought this would go well. Silly me.

Does anyone have potty training advice? How did you do it?

The most frustrating part is not knowing how to react to his accidents. Anger? Reprimand? Encouragement? Clearly i need to do more research.

He doesn't hate the idea, loves to sit on the potty. Loves his new underpants, but just can't catch himself when he needs to go, and sees no problem doing his business inside his underpants.

I asked his dad to find a good potty training video on youtube, he found this. oddly enough Bubby can't get enough of it, he's watched it eight times this morning. When I asked him if he wanted to go potty like the tiger he says "YES!".

Go Baby Inmat Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (the moms at babysteals) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:59:00 +0000

Baby needs tummy time, but how do you protect baby from the dirty floor? Go Baby InMat!

The InMat is crafted with a washable suede and soft fleece creating the ideal mat for baby yoga, massage and tummy-time. It rolls up tight with a magnetic closure making it easy to toss into mom's diaper or gym bag. And, unlike the old standby baby blanket, it doesn't slip, slide or twist with every move the baby makes! Even if the baby decides to get in on the exercise action, the mat stays smooth and flat, despite their newly-found rolling or crawling skills!

Surface area is 23x24. Fleece - 100% poly. Suede - 100% leather

A Little Rambling...

noreply@blogger.com (emily) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 04:00:00 +0000

My new washing machine arrives tomorrow, I think I am a total nerd because I am very excited about it.

Makes me wonder, when did I grow up? Am I really a mother of two, in her 30s (early 30s!)? It seems like no time has passed since the day I moved into my first apartment all by myself. After all the chaos of moving and after everyone had gone home I looked around and marveled, everything in that apartment was mine. Not my parent's things, not my sister's things, not my roommate's things, mine. It was very strange to think I was finally starting adulthood.

That apartment was the home to many happy and many sad memories. Primarily happy, and why not? The bathroom and all the kitchen appliances were pink (I adore pink, clearly I need to have a baby girl- hello universe, did you catch that?)! I met my husband in the parking lot of that apartment building. He rode by on his super hot, very juvenile BMX jump bike and stopped to say hi to our mutual friends Erin and John. Weeks later I looked out the window of that apartment and tried not to grin from ear to ear when I looked outside just in time to see him dropping by unannounced.

So, I think I did my biggest chunk of growing up in that apartment, age 26-28 (I think). When and where did you do yours? Are you excited about nerdy mom things like new appliances?

CozyWedge Giveaway!

noreply@blogger.com (the moms at babysteals) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:40:00 +0000

UPDATE: Contest is now closed

A few weeks ago we featured the Cozy Wedge on BabySteals and they sold out fast! Did you miss them? Do you want one? For FREE!

Let me tell you why you do. If you have a rambunctious child the bumpers in your crib may look a little squished by the time your child can roll over. My son is 16 months and his very cute bumper pads were very squished by the time he was 5 months old. As he grew older he used it as a snuggle buddy and I couldn't help but think it wasn't very safe. Right?

Problem solved with the Cozy Wedge!

We have one in Organic Cotton Ecru waiting just for you! Just sign up for our Daily Steal Alert. Already signed up? You're automatically entered to win, aren't we nice!

Contest Ends Friday August 8th at 9am MST! Winner announced Friday August 8th at 5pm.

Who wants a Ju-Ju-Be?!

noreply@blogger.com (the moms at babysteals) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:37:00 +0000

UPDATE: contest is now closed

The new BeLight from Ju-Ju-Be lives up to it's name. I recently bought a new diaper bag and was so disappointed when I found out how heavy it was empty! After shoving all the baby needs in, the bag weighed more than the baby.

The BeLight is the lightest diaper bag on the market, even better it's reversible! Long or short straps, two large pockets in front, lightweight changing pad, and crumb drains! Are you kidding me, who doesn't need that?!

Want one? How about this little lightweight cutie?

Hurry up, contest ends Thursday July 31st at 9am MST, winner announced Thursday July 31st at 5pm MST.

Kids!

I am out of town visiting my sister and my youngest has been especially grouchy lately. So much so I noticed and so have my nieces and nephews. Overhead several times this week.

Does the baby cry everyday?
Do you think today will be the day he doesn't cry?
I haven't heard the baby laugh once today.
Do you think he's going to cry again? I know he is.

Best quote, from my 7 year old nephew while his mom plays Guitar Hero: "Mom, you just don't rock."
Best quote, from my 7 year old niece while watching a Subway commercial: "I can get whatever I want at Subway? I'm getting spaghetti!"
Quote from my 3 year old every thirty seconds: "Stop looking at me!"

I bet they can't wait for us to leave. :)

Because you know you're going to spit on your kid. Every mom does it. Every kid hates it.

What? You've never spit on your kid? Really? I bet your laundry is always put away and you use the reflection in your clean kitchen floor to just dust on a bit of blush, cause that's all you need. And you love your mother-in-law, and dirt exists only when camping. Right?

Get over it. Get MomSpit.

Bellybar

noreply@blogger.com (emily) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:52:00 +0000

Who needs more chocolate? If you're not raising your hand clearly you aren't pregnant.

Remember the cravings? They are no joke. When you need chocolate, you need it asap, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I have been trying to save the Chocolate Cuddles that Bellybar sent for my next pregnancy. No success. They're all gone, the Citrus on Boards chews are gone also. I I don't like healthy food, like my father if I know it's good for me I get suspicious and decide before trying anything it's must taste like compressed salted sawdust. I was a little nervous to review the Bellybar products for that very reason.

How surprised I was.

"New moms and moms-to-be need extra nutrients – before, during and after pregnancy. Which is why we created Bellybar. Packed with key prenatal nutrients, Bellybar satisfies your need for something nutritious and your craving for something delicious. And, it delivers the essential iron, foic acid, calcium, protein and Omega-3 DHA that you and your baby need. With Bellybar, you also get the peace of mind of knowing that OB/GYNs, midwives, doulas and healthcare providers recommend it. So, unwrap a bar, and discover why women crave Bellybar long after they’ve given birth."

Yeah, all that and it tastes good. Which in my opinion wins the battle!
