topsy turvy

hey fellow mama chix! do your toddlers spill...well...everything, everywhere? we have just the thing. introducing Loopa, the amazing spill-resistant bowl! with an easy-to-hold outer rim and a rotating inner bowl, your tiny tykes can nosh to their hearts content without leaving a trail of cheerios across your newly vacuumed floor. ahhh, now we can all put down our dust busters and pick up our bon bons. or more likely, our dry cleaning, our children from pre-school, the laundry, a friend from the airport, the dog from the groomer, Thai food for dinner...

itz about time

so, you have this beautiful new baby. yay! it's a miracle! i'm so happy! now,what exactly do i do with said infant? how often should i feed him? what if i feed him too often? how often should he sleep? how often do i change him? how will i remember when he slept and when he ate and when I changed him? ahhhhhh! don't. you. worry. 2 chix has your back. one of our own pregnant "chix" received a gift that solves the post-baby combination pregnesia/sleep deprivation problem: ITZBEEN. this baby care timer was invented by a new mom and dad who, running on very few zzzz's, were too groggy and foggy to remember all the baby care details they needed to remember. the ITZBEEN comes with four timers for changing, feeding, napping and more. it even reminds you which "side" you last fed baby with. now you can put your pregnesia to much better use...like as the reason why you can't be trusted to be responsible for feeding the cat or calling your mother-in-law on a regular basis ;)

stay cozy

for those of us interested in bpa-free baby bottles, the issue has always been, well, the glass. what if the bottle slips out of my hand and breaks? what if it's too heavy or difficult for the baby to hold? never fear, 2 chix is here and we have a solution. jam tots carries these super cool, colorful pea pod bottle cozies that slip over glass baby bottles thus protecting them from breakage. and... since they are made of neoprene, the cozies act as insulators keeping beverages warmer longer (or cooler as may be the preference for a toddler). beauty and brains...what more could we ask for?

clip clip hooray

for those about to rock

husband and wife team (oh...and also full time emergency room physicians and parents to 2 little boys!), cindy parker and scott stoughton, have carved out a niche for themselves in the world of children's clothing. the couple, who started oohlalamama in 2006, offer edgy rocker-style designs for children from birth to six years of age. we happen to adore this rock star tee, but if you prefer a more traditional style, ooh la la mama also offers these precious bloomer sets in several different styles. to check out their entire line, visit www.oohlalamama.com. we "chix" think their stuff..well, rox ;)
