A few of my favorite things.....
here are some products that I like, find interesting, would like to try, etc. Some of the items i actually have and will give a quick review of, while others are simply coll things I have come across and wouldn't mind having or trying out.
tried and tested!...these are the products i actually have
http://myroyalheinie.com/ Have it. Love it! I just bought this diaper bag and couldn't be happier! I have had my eye on these since I saw them online. I happened to find the color I wanted (the orange one to match our stroller) at an outlet store in the area! Score! It was a steal...I bought them out of the last 4 they had! Such a clever idea. They also sell matching changing pads. I just ordered 2 to match the patterns I have. I had issues finding the orange pad online. I ended up emailing the company to find out if they still had them and how I could get my hands on them. The owner was a pleasure to work with and was friendly and accomodating. I recieved my order in 2 days! Every mom should have one of these! I keep it in my full size diaper bag and take just this when I go into the store. I even use the other one I bought as a purse loaded with wipes (great for when Aunt Flo makes a visit! i don't know about you but sometimes TP just doesn't leave you as 'fresh' as a wipe can! there's room for your 'protection' as well as normal purse items). I highly recommend this to everyone!
http://www.patemm.com/ Nifty little changing pad. I own 2 of these (scored from a resale shop & an outlet!). Nice, large changing surface. Great if your baby is a wiggle worm! Plenty of pockets for diapers, wipes, creams, powders, etc. One-handed folding,folds up into a nice little pad the size of a notebook. Another wonderful thing about this product....the creator is a Fil-Am mom from the Bay Area! They have numerous patterns to choose from and the new Bote bag (diaper bag) to compliment the Patemm Pad.
http://www.mom4life.com/catalog.php?item=44 Now this is one item I'd love to try! We have a cal-king bed and space still seems limited when the baby is in it with us! Such a smart invention...one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" ideas.
http://www.upspringbaby.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2 This is awsome! Sure, as a new mommy, we shouldn't be concerned with drinking again. Let's be honest, we will drink again! As a nursing mom I hate to have to 'pump and dump' just after a few cocktails. I bought a box of these for my last trip to Vegas (who can go to Vegas and not have a drink or two?!) for piece of mind. I had a drink or two and didn't have to wonder if I my baby would get a buzz if i nursed him. I avoided having to pump and dump and waste my liquid gold (a.k.a. breastmilk)!
http://www.ubi-baby.com/features.html This changing table is too cool! It stores diapers in the base and they pop up automatically each time you change baby. Genious! This is on my wishlist! Check the website to see how it works.
http://loomlife.com/ this bag converts from abackpack to a shoulder bag. The best feature of it is the detatchable "Joey" (the green one in the pic). This is great to keep 'mommy items', use it as your normal pursebut you dont have to take up space for babys things. And you can dont have to change purses everytime. If you're like me i always forget something in the diaper bag because of all the bag switching. The larger bag, the "Bandicoot" is roomy, and comes with a nicely padded changing pad. each bag is sold seperately and you can choose which colors you want for each. i will soon have one of these diaper bags! I had one but am exchanging it for all black (the one i orginally had was light colored and not my chioce colors). i didnt have the reciept for it so i emailed the company (based out of Mill Valley, CA) asking if i could exchange it for the black. I got a quick response of yes and the woman i was in contact with was very friendly and helpful even though i took forever to mail mine out to her! Its a great deal if you like convienience! It looks great and nobody will know its even a diaper bag!
