Kenzie's fascination with play food is still going strong.  She is thoroughly enjoying all her Learning Resources play food so imagine her delight when she saw the New Sprouts Picnic Set? The Picnic Play Food Set includes 15 pieces: durable plastic basket with handles, 2 divided plates, 2 mini-hamburgers (buns and patties), 2 watermelon wedges, 2 cupcakes, and ketchup and mustard bottles that "squirt." Learning Resources has yet again amazed me with their educational toys for 2013.  They have a great selection to keep your child entertained and always learning. Buy It:  You can purchase the New Sprouts Picnic Set for $24.99. Recently, an essential need for our home comfort is a humidifier and we received the most beautiful one from Luma Comfort.  The Ultrasonic cool mist humidifier goes beyond expectation in both design and function.  From the site photos I thought the body would be made of a fragile material but it's kid-friendly plastic!  The all white color makes it fresh and cle

This vase design humidifier is rad because there are 8 adjustable mist settings covering 650 square feet and can operate for up to 45 hours on one tank fill!  I am definintely in awe at the latter feature.  We keep it on from the time I get home to when we go to bed.  The ultrasonic technology saves energy - I won't really know the actual cost until our first electric bill comes - which will definitely be higher than our smaller condo - however I am optimistic.  This humidifier is also great for the kiddos because it naturally eliminates dust particles.  I have allergies and am always vacuuming and wiping but it has slacked a bit since we've moved.  I absolutely am in love with our Luma Comfort humidifer and hope they come out with equally sleek designs so we can have one in every room! Buy It:  You can purchase the Luma Comfort HC12W Humidifier for $129.99. Make sure to connect with Luma Comfort on Facebook and Twitter!

There are so many sites that offer baby products that a new parent may be overwhelmed.  I've found one that offers the best baby products that have been selected by real parents.  honeywell hepa air cleaner model 50150The best does not always mean the priciest as can be seen by the selection offered by Peppy Parents.  honeywell 16200 hepa clean tabletop air purifier whiteYou can definitely find everything you need with great customer service here.  how to clean rainbow rainmate air purifierI love Aden+Anais swaddle blankets but haven't tried out the bamboo until now and I am even more in love with them. The Diwali print is wonderful and the colors are rich. 

My favorite for Mason is the elephant print.  The size is the same as the original muslin swaddle blankets at 47" x 47" pre-washed yet the bamboo is so much softer.  They are silky and perfect for Mason's ultra sensitive skin (at the moment due to slight rash/eczema).  I like to use it for covering the carseat when he falls asleep while out shopping.  It's large enough to shield him from the light and noise yet breathable to let him snooze comfortably. PeppyParents has quick shipping and it's free on orders over $49 - fabulous!  They even have their own baby blog offering advice, news, product info and more.  You can even create a baby registry with everything you want/need for your new arrival.

Mason received the Classic Boy Set and Organic Burpies in Mod Circle. Drool and spit up are a part of Mason's everyday adventures.  I almost always go to work with drool on my clothes.  I was excited to try the organic burp cloths because of the large size - 8" x 18". Peachy Bambini offers luxe clothing for baby girls and boys, baby essentials, blankets, toys and more!  How gorgeous is this cashmere baby blanket? Make sure to connect with Peachy Bambini on Facebook and Twitter!It is a Canadian company that has launched in the US at Babies R Us.  I received the knot front nursing top and it is very comfortable.  The material is a bit thin but you can definitely layer with a cami underneath.  The length is fantastic because it covers one's tummy with bump and post-bump.  I received a size small but it does fit a bit loose.  I suggest sizing down if you would like a closer fit. Mason makes a puddle of drool everywhere he goes (or rather is carried).  I think his teeth are itching to poke through his gums. 

He is tugging his ear and chewing on his fingers.  Somehow he hasn't taken the traditional teethers I have offered him (same thing with Kenzie).  When we received the Smile & Winkel Teether from Imagine Toys and he immediately grasped it I was delighted! Imagine Toys has an easy to peruse site with the most wonderful selection of toys for every child.  Their clutching toys are great for little ones like Mason and the role play toys are on Kenzie's wishlist.  Check out their sales and free shipping offer for orders $79+.

Oh what a fickle weather system we have been experiencing here in Southern California.  It varies from windy and chilly to sunny and sticky - all in one day.  

Since we moved to a neighborhood where I can walk to the pharmacy, restaurants and such (rather than going up and down a steep hill with no shopping at the end), I was excited to try the 7 A.M. Enfant Le Sac Igloo and Warmmuffs.  Apart from being oh so chic and fashion forward, it is beyond functional. The Le Sac Igloo 500 is genius.  We received size medium (3 sizes) which is for 6-18 months.  It has so many features packed into one bundle.  It was easy to place over the stroller seat as it has 5-point harness openings (easy to pull the straps through the velcro) and since the sun was peeking out in the morning I decided to detach the fleece blanket (simple snaps). As you can see, Mason is shielded from the cold and sun with ease. No need to use bulky jackets and blankets that slide off when you are strolling.  The sac stays put and keeps your little one comfortable.  We made it safely to the donut shop.  The front pocket was perfect to place my phone and $$ for donuts.  

You can also store wipes, diapers, etc. if you don't want to lug around your diaper bag.  Or if you have a lightweight diaper bag like the Barcelona you can just tote that around :) The ability to simply zip on/off the sac is simply the best.  Although the weather is in the high 70s this week, it will drop back to the 60s with rain by the weekend.  Nights are still in the 40s-50s.  You can even use this as a regular stroller blanket and even on infant carseats.  I know many of the readers live in super cold climates and walk their children to school/bus stop so this would be an awesome cold weather baby accessory to have.  If you have a new baby the sac goes all the way to the hood and cinches with the elasticized toggle for ultimate protection and warmth. 7 A.M. Enfant has all the necessities for keeping your babe cozy and safe from harsh weather including: baby carrier covers,  Kenzie would love these Polar mittens, stroller foot muffs, kids winter hats, booties and more!
