This is Why I Don’t Go to the Gym
Aug 16, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Health & Beauty,Kids
Back in the day when I did participate in group exercise classes, I once made the near-fatal mistake of choosing a spinning bike next to a deodorant-averse European man. That was five years ago. I only recently regained consciousness.
And, if possible, it seems things at the gym have only gotten worse since then.
All I have to say is, if this actually were an effective form of exercise, my husband would have Brad Pitt’s abs from Troy right now.

Baby Mobile is a Little Bit Country, a Little Bit… Whoa

Homemade baby gift idea: This mobile is beautifully adorned with pictures of Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, and, of course, a fishing lure.
Because what baby isn’t soothed by the idea of reeling in a big ’70s country music singer?

Keep Up with the Joneses — and Your Calls — with New Bugaboo iPhone Holder
May 2, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Kids,Shopping | Tags: Strollers, Stylin', Technology
Here you splashed out for some sweet wheels with the Bugaboo Cameleon, and yet you’re still left looking a bit silly as you fumble around trying to stroll-and-Tweet.
Not to mention that poor little old lady you mowed down in the process. (Grandma is never going to forgive you for that.)
Well, get a grip! Literally. With the new Bugaboo iPhone holder that helps you get a better grip on your Cameleon or Bee and your phone, giving you the freedom to stroll-and-text, stroll-and-talk, stroll-and-rock-out, stroll-and-navigate and, yes, stroll-and-Tweet.
Be sure to Tweet this: Bugaboo is contributing 1% of total revenue to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. And, let’s face it: the only thing that feels better than the smooth ride of a Bugaboo is the joy that comes from trying to help others.
Available at Bugaboo.com and other online retail stores; $24.95
Give Your Baby a Leg Up with the Peg Perego Skate
May 1, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Kids,Shopping | Tags: Strollers
No, we’re not talking about making your kid the next Michelle Kwan. This Skate is a versatile carriage-to-stroller system from Peg Perego that has just been updated as a three-piece system with new colors — including Kiwi, Tropical and Java (sounds delicious) — and an even larger removable bassinet with a handle for easier carrying.
Well, as easy as it can be, considering you’re also lugging a diaper bag, toys, blankets, what remains of your sanity…
The bassinet feature has also been redesigned to offer baby additional padding, while the seat feature features more space for the quickly growing tot. Knowing that ease is key for harried parents, they’ve also made the stroller easier to open and close. The rest of the Skate, however, is the similar to last year’s version: The bassinet can stand alone and offers a 3-position height adjustment plus an adjustable backrest. Aaahhh. Meanwhile, the reversible seat allows baby to face parents or, if he grows tired of you making googly eyes at him, you can turn him around to see our crazy world.
The company’s Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat (sold separately) can be attached directly to the frame with the included adapters. Best of all, the stroller has a “one-hand” folding system that you’ll appreciate as you also juggle that diaper bag, baby, toys and, of course, the crumbs of your sanity.
With the Skate, you’ll be gliding around the neighborhood in style in no time. (See what we did there?)
Available at BabiesRUs.com among other online retail stores; $699.99

Bébé au Lait Covers Put the ‘Rest’ in Breastfeeding
Mar 19, 2010 | Filed Under: Babies,Kids,Shopping | Tags: Breastfeeding
Excited to be nourishing your little one with breast milk, but not thrilled about the prospect of flashing your Uncle Ron at the next family gathering?
Then rest easy, new mama, with a stress-reducing Bébé au Lait nursing cover (originally known by its more subtle title, “Hooter Hider”). These around-the-neck shields are not only stylish, but also bigger and more secure than, say, a blanket or a deterring “please look elsewhere” raise of the eyebrow.
In other words, the Fort Knox of nursing covers.
Around since 2004, the Bébé au Lait covers — popular with celebrities — were recently updated with two new print designs, as well as with an additional cotton terry pocket to help with quick clean-up, and to store breast pads or pacifiers or something really important, such as a chocolate bar for later.
Because moms can never have enough pockets. Or peace of mind. Or chocolate.
Available at bebeaulait.com and independent retailers. Suggested retail price of $35.
