Hape Toys

Spark your little ones’ imaginations with high quality toys from Hape! This award winning toy company believes play is in the DNA of every child and just needs to be awaken. Hape toys are strategically designed to bring fun into learning and help develop and refine your child’s skills during each milestone. They are the world’s largest producer of wooden toys designing first and foremost for children; no matter their culture or language. With responsible business practices, Hape strives to leave this world in better condition than when they received it. With hundreds of toys, and new toys being designed each year, Hape has something for newborns to the kid at heart. While Hape is essential for babies to trigger their development, these toys may be a good idea to purchase after the birth of your baby. While you’re still in your pregnancy days, you need to think about buying the necessities. If a loved one is insistent on getting a gift for your newborn, perhaps refer them to Harcourt Health’s website on baby essentials, where they can learn more about what you need for your baby. Once you’re prepared for birth, it’s time to explore the magical world of Hape toys! After all, without toys, your children will not gain the basic cognitive and physical skills they need for the future. These skills can be impacted by many factors…in fact, many new parents have concerns with making sure that their child is getting enough sleep to ensure normal growth and learning processes. Sometimes the environment they sleep in can have a detrimental effect, such as a busy road outside. Fortunately, soundproofpanda.com offer a solution to this. The quality of sleep is so important and will give them the energy to play and enjoy the world that is so new to them. Furthermore, buying gifts and toys for children can often seem tricky. There is so much choice it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, one of my friends recently recommended www.babycro.com to me. On the Babycro website, you can find a huge choice of baby product reviews. Above all, reading reviews online can help you to find out what other people are saying about popular products so that you can decide whether or not a product is worth the hype. Now, let us discover my pick of gifts for babies.

Learning to walk has never been so fun than with the Classical Bus T1 Walker. This Classical Volkswagen has a bright stylish look and sleek design.

The sturdy wood design and construction will keep this toy lasting for years to come as it grows with your kids and their imagination.

Hape’s Tito Wood Pull Along Toy is a walking toy that is versatile and durable. As a pull toy, walkers will love their turtle friend trailing behind their little steps as they pull his long green string. Tito’s shell rotates as he leisurely moves on his rubber lined wheels. What makes Tito so unique from other pull along toys is his transparent water filled shell. Watch as water swirls and waves with each movement of Tito’s detachable shell.

As always, Hape meets or exceeds all applicable safety standards in North America and follows eco-friendly business practices.

The Magic of Bibiti-Bobiti Boutique

I remember for my son’s 1st birthday I pulled out all the works. I had a photo slideshow, games, gift bags, and decorations. I am sure you would all agree that every event, every milestone, is a big deal when its your first little. Not to mention I had the time being a stay at home of one.

But second child syndrome hit hard in our family…I now understand as the third child in my family why there are no pictures of me.

So when October rolled around, I started to panic about planning my littlest’s first birthday!

I knew if I did not have the time to perfect every little detail then I needed to pick priorities. I love photography, and capturing the joy and excitement of events is my favorite. When I anticipate a photo opt I always dress my family accordingly to make sure we coordinate and are aesthetically pleasing.

My daughter’s first birthday party was an approaching photo opt that was sure to bring hundreds of pictures from multiple cameras.

So my priority? An adorable outfit to make every picture extra cute!

I searched far and wide through Etsy for a birthday outfit that matched the theme of my daughters vintage gold party.

Bibiti-Bobiti Boutique is a high quality, high fashion children’s etsy shop. Paula, the owner, was inspired to create Bibiti-Bobiti Boutique after struggling to find coordinating outfits for her daughter. She learned to sew and now everything she sells is handmade with organic cotton and is created by her.

Connect with Bibiti-Bobiti Boutique

Etsy Instagram Facebook

And I would have to say, Bibiti-Bobiti Boutique has stylish and posh merch.

I seriously loved the results of my daughters three piece birthday attire!

The shirt is an made with organic cotton and includes petite puff sleeves. The gold glitter calligraphy “one” is bold and showed up perfect in pictures. Being handmade I had doubts about the durability, but the screen printing proved itself after a smash cake, a few washes, and life of a toddler.

The black and white floral skirt matched perfectly with my daughter’s birthday invites. I loved the high waist ruffled fit and satin bow accent. It laid nicely when she sat and didn’t ride up to her armpits like most baby skirts.

A matching nylon headband completed her birthday outfit! My daughter has a HUGE head, a gift from her father, so I was elated it fit her without leaving any mark or indent.

And yes, this red frosting stain did wash out in the washer!

The greatest part about it being three pieces is the ability to mix and match as my daughter grows. She’s on the squishy side so I know the shirt will be the first to go. However, the skirt will continue to be a staple piece in her wardrobe as well as the bow.

Bobiti-Bobiti Boutique sells over a 100 items on its Etsy shop. The collection includes baby coming home attire, rompers, birthday outfits, hoodie sets, gowns, swaddle sets, and even mom and dad shirts. I know. How amazing does that sound? We’re all proud parents, so why shouldn’t we tell this to the world, and have them printed on shirts that we can wear for the rest of our lives? My friend even told me about a company like Revel Shore, who helps you to print and design your very own clothing, (you can have a look at some of their t-shirts here) so you can see your creations come to life. It’s a great idea, but I’m just so pleased that Bobiti-Bobiti Boutique created these gorgeous outfits for a very special day. I will never forget the part they played in my daughter’s first birthday.

After my daughter’s special day I did what I always do, upload all the pictures. I was so pleased to have such adorable memories captured and her looking so posh!

 

Tips to Try to Keep Your Child Disease-Free

Got Your Little Angel Home? 5 Tips to Keep Your Darling Disease-Free!!

If you and your partner are newborn parents and finally brought your little one home then you might be feeling the utmost happiness. Right? But, what if your new baby was injured or became ill during the birth? What should you do then? It can be the worst feeling knowing your baby isn’t well, especially if it was the doctors themselves that caused the problem. It can leave you feeling helpless and as though you were responsible. The first thing you should do is click here to find a lawyer who will take care of your medical malpractice case – you’re not responsible for your baby’s poor health, so let your lawyer deal with it whilst you ensure that your baby makes a full recovery.

Moreover, you need to be very conscious about this whole episode as your baby will be generally more prone to all kinds of diseases, thanks to their developing immune system. Just a little neglectfulness from your side might end up with him or her suffering from dangerous diseases.

One infection to keep an eye out for when your child is very young is chickenpox. Chickenpox infections are caused by a virus. It can spread through direct contact with a rash and it can also spread when a person with the chickenpox virus coughs or sneezes and you inhale the air droplets. Although there is no specific treatment for chickenpox, there are plenty of pharmaceutical remedies that can alleviate symptoms. For example, children over the age of 2 can be treated using valtrex. Most chickenpox infections do not need special medical treatment. However, some problems can still occur. Always call a doctor if your child seems particularly unwell or is not responding to treatment.

Wondering how to keep your baby away from all the germs?

Well, here I am today with some incredible suggestions for you that will definitely help.

Source:- News.usc.edu

Just read ahead and understand!

  1. Don’t entertain such visitors in your home and especially in your baby’s room who are suffering from any disease or flu. For instance, if someone is having a cold, cough, sore throat or any other disease-related symptoms then probably he shouldn’t visit your baby. Also, even if someone suffered from any contagious disease before a couple of weeks then you should try to avoid him or her.
  1. You, your relatives, your visitors or whoever else it is, your baby should be touched only after the hands are being washed and sanitized. Never allow anyone to touch your little one simply just after entering your home from outside. It is the best way to stop the spread of any kind of infection.
  1. Try not to have too many outings with your baby during the first a few weeks. Well, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t at all take your baby out. There must be some places where it’s mandatory to take your baby.
  1. You could get your HVAC units checked, especially the air filters and the ducts. Failing to maintain the components of your HVAC units, might lead to more bacteria and virus growth in the air inside your house and could thus, elevate the symptoms your baby might already have. Thus, it is prudent for you to get your cooling or heating appliances inspected by reputed HVAC service providers like WireNut Home Services (visit this link to navigate to this website), and alike.

In such scenarios, cover your darling with clean and comfortable clothes, dresses or blankets to keep him or her away from any kind of germ or pollution. Further, you can buy such things of absolutely premium quality while opting for Debenhams offers for kids.

  1. At least, continue with the breastfeeding for first 6 months. It’s because mother’s milk is way too much necessary for babies to build their immunity strong and fight away the diseases. So, don’t step behind to breastfeed your infant unless you have some serious and unavoidable constraints.
  1. And, the last but not the least, make a list of all the vaccines that your baby should take in the first a few months while consulting with the doctor. To get all those vaccines is really necessary because it will protect your baby from all kind of life-threatening diseases. So, to gift your child a disease-free life, don’t forget the vaccines!!

Wrapping Up My Thoughts

So, now when you have the most precious someone of your life in your home, just keep in mind these aforementioned tips. And, thus you would be able to keep your baby absolutely safe and healthy!!

Kids Cuddle Up With Blankie Tails

My kids are lazy, lazy people in the mornings.

 

They cannot function – I am pretty sure their brains are not fully on until at least 20 mins goes by. They take after me… just aren’t allowed to speed up the wake-ups with coffee.

 

So instead of caffeine, my kids like to be cozy. Maybe a pair of personalized photo blanket for them could do the trick? Or maybe some fitted custom bed sheets?

 

To be honest, no matter the weather, they require a blanket and couch time while getting themselves fully awake. Most of the time they grab a soft blanket then fight over it until I grab another, just as a soft blanket, to stop the bickering. Wouldn’t it be easier for them to have their own cozy way to cuddle up on the couch, something that is fully their own and isn’t going to be fought over? Now, thanks to Blankie Tails, my kids stopped fighting over the same couple blankets and each have their own special tail to cuddle up inside.

 

Ever since I introduced my children, ages 3 and 5, to Blankie Tails they have been obsessed with them. Each night and morning they require their Tail to cozy up inside for story time and for morning couch time. The other night my daughter couldn’t find hers while my son had his and panic ensued. This is when I noticed how attached they have become to these seemingly simple blankets.

 

Be Cozy & Have Fun with Blankie Tails

 

What makes Blankie Tails special is their use of super soft material….like super soft. The mermaid tails and whale tale is made of this super soft material. I honestly have even used the mermaid tale myself a few times! There are a few brands that make mermaid tails, but none with the high quality that Blankie Tails gives. Each tail is super durable, knowing that the kid who falls in love with it will drag it, shake it, pull it and get messy with it.

 

 

Blanket Tails knows that not all kids want to be a mermaid, but all kids love to be wrapped up like a caterpillar in a cocoon – snug as a bug in a rug. This is why they came out with several other types of tails, so that all kids can get the cozy blanket they desire. They are currently featuring: Shark Tails, My Little Pony Tail, Orca Whale Tail and a Rocket Ship Tail…along with several of the classic Mermaid Tails.

It’s not just kids who love Blankie Tails, but toddlers and adults do too! Blanket Tails now features 3 size options: Toddler, Kid and Teen/Adult.

 

The Rocket Ship has a minky material, making it warm and super soft. My son, who is 3.5 years old, loves his Rocket Ship Blankie Tail so much that he has been sleeping in it every night for weeks. He is so much easier to get into bed now for our bedtime routine now that he has his Rocket Ship. It creates much less of a fight knowing he gets to get inside of his ship during story time. My daughter, age 5, now loves to rotate between her Mermaid Tail and her Orca Tail. She loves how they are both crazy soft, made of a smooth thinner fabric that allows her to wiggle around in a soft environment as she drifts off to sleep.

Happiness for Little Hands

Ever go on a trip with your family and think of all the millions of things you have to bring with you? Seriously, there is so much stuff to bring along with children.

What do you do when you realize you’ve forgotten an essential? Are you the type of person who will run to the store and buy it OR are you someone who will improvise and use what you’ve got?

That is exactly what Casey, Virginia mom, did when she was on vacation with her family. She forgot to pack mittens for her daughter, so Casey grabbed some socks and put them on her daughter’s hands. Boom. Problem fixed!


Handsocks are the perfect solution to keep little baby hands warm and baby faces protected. It’s hard to cut those little finger nails, but it’s really easy to grab a pair of Handsocks and place them on baby’s hands. As you can see in the photos below they’re very easy to put on.

The Handsocks vision is to create limited quantity styles and prints. This means that if you find a specific print or style you like, get it while you can before it’s sold out! With a vision like that the prints you purchase will most likely be pretty rare; only a certain number of people will get their hands on them.

…………

Fun fact: You can enter for a chance to have a limited print of Handsocks named after your child. Pretty fun! You can apply on their website

…………

The prints they create are super cute and perfect for any child. With options for girls, boys, and gender neutral you are sure to find one you like! Recently they just released their college football line. Get your favorite teams logo on a Handsock and your child can cheer them on!

We just brought our new baby boy home on October 1. In just three days he already had scratches on his face! I forgot to pack mittens in the hospital bag and we were unable to cut his nails while we were there. I was ready to wrap his little hands up to protect him! So, the first thing I did when we got home was grabbed a pair of mittens (that WEREN’T Handsocks) and put them on his hands. Literally within minutes the mittens fell off! I was so frustrated. This made me very excited to get my package from Handsocks so I could try them out!

 

Let me tell ya mama’s, these things are amazing.

 

The Handsocks are perfect for our new baby boy. Its been pretty chilly here the past few days, so they have been perfect. They keep his hands warm and toasty. The Handsocks are really great for him because they protect his little face from getting scratched. A lifesaver!

I love how the Handsocks are more like socks and less like mittens (hence the name!). They actually stay on baby’s hands! Why? Because of their sleeve-like effect. There is no velcro or straps to work with, and no tightness whatsoever. Notice in the picture how the stripe part of the handsock goes all the way up to baby’s armpit. It’s perfect! It would take a lot for a baby to work them off their arm.

 

Handsocks are the prefect accessory for your older child too. Their sizes are available for newborn up to 3T. You can use them as protection for your newborn and like gloves or mittens for your older child. They are perfect for the winter – going from the house to the car and the car to the store. Normal gloves are such a pain to put on little hands; it’s nearly impossible to get all the fingers in the right places! And just like with newborn mittens, child mittens fall off really easily. Save yourself the hassle and get your kiddo some Handsocks!

 

My favorite aspect of the Handsocks company is how they love and care for other kiddos around the world. While exchanging emails with Casey, the owner of Handsocks, she mentioned that she got a letter from one of the orphanages that she recently sent Handsocks to. She was ecstatic. She expressed to me how happy and grateful she was to have received it. That is why she does what she does. Casey, and the whole Handsocks company has a passion to make a positive impact on the world. That’s what they’re striving towards.

 

 

Handsocks are perfect for your kiddos – newborn to age 3. Your kids will have warm hands and protected faces; say goodbye to fingernail scratches. The soft, cozy socks will be a lifesaver this winter. I’m so excited to use them! Christmas is coming sooner than we think – these are the perfect gift for anyone with young kids. Click the image to the left to see and buy Handsocks!
