BabbaCo: Fun and Function with Innovation and Snazzy Design for Your Baby!

Introducing BabbaCo- makers of some of the cutest and most functional baby gear around! There are two things that come to my mind when checking out their products: problem solver & chic design.

Sometimes I have to shudder when I look back at my own baby pictures. Seriously, WHO designed some of that ugly stuff? Why were the patterns so dull, boring, and bland? Thank goodness babies of today will be shown off in sassy eye-catching patterns like the ones you'll find at BabbaCo!

Always adding more, BabbaCo currently has three types of products available for purchase on their site: infant car seat covers, reversible burp clothes, and some cute clothing. In particular the car seat covers and burp clothes come in so many fun patterns and colors, I guarantee you will have a hard time choosing just one!

BabbaCo was nice enough to send me a BabbaBurpie- their reversible burp cloth. I definitely squealed a bit when I pulled it out of the packaging- it's truly that cute. The design that I reviewed was the Cati Coral Cream style.

Priced at just $22.50 for a 2 pack, it's really the equivalent of having four burp clothes on hand. That's because they are designed like big soft pockets. When one side gets dirty, you simply turn it inside out and you have a brand new, clean, full sized burp cloth! Can you imagine having the opportunity to find regular (one use) designer burp clothes for less than $6 each?

Whether you are, or know, a mama-to-be or a new mama you absolutely have to check out the beautiful products on BabbaCo's Website! This is just a sample of their beautiful and trendy patterns:

Little Pim Foreign Language DVD Series

It's been years since I have taken a Spanish language class. Although back in the day, I was actually semi-fluent. I completely support and appreciate the importance of children learning at least one 2nd language- it is such an amazing skill to have. I hope to teach Lily Bean bits and pieces of Spanish, and the Little Pim series makes it a little easier!

Through a cute and engaging video, the Little Pim Spanish DVD that we watched was very well done. Words are shown on the screen, repeated multiple times, and acted out (mostly by children). Our DVD was Volume 1: Eating and Drinking. Lily Bean and I watched as various meal related scenes played out- with Spanish vocabulary for food, utensils, and other actions appeared on the program.

I was impressed that Lily was fairly interested. She watched for about 5 minutes or so before wandering across the room to fetch some toys. I left the DVD on and found her checking the show out several times. I have a feeling that the older she gets, the more engaged in the DVD she'll become.

The Little Pim DVD Series comes in ten different languages: Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, English and German.

Purchase options include:

• Individual Little Pim DVD in any of the ten languages. Disc one: Eating and Drinking; Disc two: Wake Up Smiling; Disc three: Playtime – $17.95 each

Holiday Crunch from Truly Custom Cakery

Yum. Yum. Yum... and one more yum for good measure. Yesterday my mail lady dropped off the tastiest treat that I have had in a long time- it was a tin of Holiday Crunch made by Truly Custom Cakery (for you local readers, this is a Philly suburb based company!!).

Ranging from $2-$25, Holiday Crunch is the most succulent blend of salty and sweet. The mix includes popcorn, pecans, and almonds that are coated with caramel toffee and drizzled with dark chocolate.

Holiday Crunch is perfect to give as a gift or to put out on your dessert table. It's that one dessert that all of your guests will ask you over and over again where you bought it!
