Aden + Anais Swaddle Blankets

Okay, I love these!! They are really great and I discovered them pretty recently. Glad I had a little baby to try them out on!!! If you have never seen them, they are these thin cotton blankets made of muslin and they are 47"x47" so they are big enough for a good tight swaddle. Until now, I always swaddled my babies with receiving blankets and they were constantly getting untucked. While researching products we wanted to carry in our store, I came across these, ordered them to try and fell in love with them.
Aden and Anais Swaddle Blankets come in tons of cute colors and patterns for boys and girls. They also come in alot of cute unisex colors which is great. They are thin and very breathable so you don't have to worry about SIDS when you use them. Even though my DS is too big to swaddle now, I still give it to him when he goes to sleep because he likes to hug something and because it is breathable I am not worried.
I have used them as a nursing cover, as a place to put DS down on for tummy time and as a burp cloth (should I be telling you that????)
They also come in a two layered version called Winter Warmth which has one extra layer for those chilly evenings and a 6 layer version called the Dream Blanket which can be used as a warm and cozy blanket in the crib or carriage.
Check them out and let me know what you think.

Last Night of Hanukkah

Wow! It has been a busy week since I last posted. We had a couple of Hanukkah parties, my kids have been inundated with toys and it is time to get back to reality again. It is so much fun to have these little breaks to keep us on our toes instead of it being the same over and over and over.
In future posts I will start reviewing-or rather discussing-various products that I use for my kids. Some of them I sell and some I don't! I would love to hear from all of you-post a comment if you love or hate the product I am talking about. I would love to hear other peoples feedback!

First night of Hanukkah

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. I am so excited. I am like a little kid when it comes to fun holidays!!
Anyway, my mom wanted to get my DD a present and I was really trying to figure out what to get her. She is not the type of kid who likes toys. She much prefers putting her toys into shopping bags, playing with the raincover from the stroller, dividing toothpicks on the floor for all the kids she knows etc...
I posted a question asking for gift ideas for a 2 yr old and some of my online friends at a forum I belong to responded that she might like a digital camera for kids. I was deciding between that and a kiddy cd player with a mike. I couldn't seem to find the cd player-Fisher Price no longer makes it-they only do MP3 players now, so I decided to go for the camera. It was more than I wanted to spend but I really hope she will love it and use it. If anyone has experience with the Fisher Price Tough Stuff Digital Camera please post it in the comments. I would love to hear other reactions.

Catching my breath

So, since I love baby items so much, DH and I opened a store that sells baby products, accessories and toys. You can check us out at http://www.daintybaby.com/. It is still a work in progress and more things are constantly being added.
Anyway, it has been so hectic lately, being such a busy season and all, I haven't had a chance to catch my breath. Every day we would be working from early morning until really late at night and we barely had time to sit ( at a place other than a computer!!!!)
Today it was calmer and we finally had a chance to relax a bit. I don't even seem to remember how to do it!!! I didn't know what to do with myself so I ended up baking chocolate cupcakes. Yum!!

First Post

I decided to write a blog about a subject I seriously enjoy- Baby products. I know it sounds weird that I love talking and thinking about baby stuff, but I do. It all started when I was looking for a stroller for DD. I knew nothing about anything so of course I had to do some research. That started this whole thing snowballing and sometimes I think my obsession is out of control. So does my family!! Whoever heard of someone who buys strollers just to try them out? Well, that person is me.
