when you think of "podiatrist recommended" or "orthopedically approved" you think of chunky, nurse-like, not-so-attractive footwear, right? well, think again, chicken friends! pediped has managed to combine foot-friendly, doctor-approved design with super duper cuteness to come up with a great line of children's shoes. the tag line, the next best thing to barefeet, says it all. their adorable footwear is soft and pliable which allows growing feet to develop muscular strength and helps little piggies practice their grasping action- all while protecting tiny tootsies from rough surfaces and dirt. and...the padded soles add extra comfort. pediped has also been awarded the APMA (american podiatric medical association) seal of acceptance...not too shabby. slip a pair of these feet-tastic shoes or boots on your tot (velcro fasteners, by the way..score!)...and she'll be off and running...and looking mighty cute in the process :)
stay at home mom, nicole donnelly, invented babylegs on the spur-of-the-moment to keep her baby daughter sara's legs warm while diaperless to allow her bad diaper rash to heal. nicole quickly realized the added benefits of her invention in that her baby's knees were protected while crawling, her legs stayed toasty warm even in chilly weather and were protected from the sun. soon, neighborhood mamas were inquiring about baby sara's hip new look...and the idea was off and running (and looking very fashionable in it's striped leg warmers!). now, babylegs are sold in over 50 countries worldwide. oh...and the best part? babylegs...are not just for babies! they come in adult sizes and can be worn as arm warmers as well (which, btw, look just FAB paired with our 2 chix tees!) you go nicole...we think you're one haute mama-preneur!
if you're not a preggo mama..but you are the sister, cousin, mother, aunt, co-worker or friend of a preggo mama you may find yourself in the position of being the designated spc (shower planner chick). so,for starters...you're gonna need some pretty great invitations, right? well, my fellow chix, we have just the fix. invitations by paper style has an 8 page (and counting) selection of super-cool invites to choose from that range in style from mod to fancy to cutsie to art deco to just plain hip. and, if you are a previously knocked up mama whose bundle has already arrived, paper style has a large selection of equally haute birth announcements to help you introduce your newest off spring in style.
we recently came across a pretty cool prenatal cd...so we're passing it on to all you mamas-to-be who could use a little peace and relaxation (by our calculations, that's roughly...all of you!). jill wodnick has put out a cd entitled prenatal peace and calming. the cd features theraputic sounds and words that are designed to reduce maternal anxiety and stress. also, a portion of the proceeds of each sale goes directly to earthbirth, a non-profit organization helping to make childbirth safe and peaceful in war torn nations. so...before the baby arrives...pop in your cd, pick up your hot cup of soothing green tea, slip on your coziest sweats (or your comfiest maternity clothing...hint, hint...), curl up on your laziest couch, and just relax...for the last time in your life. ...just kidding!!! ;)
