Celebrating with Red, White and Blue

2008-07-04T21:07:00.000-07:00

As July 4, 2008 come to a close, I think about the events of the day and the simple pleasures surrounding the rituals of Independence Day. We started by attending a neighborhood parade with a dixieland band in the back of a truck, children proudly riding their tricycles decorated with crepe streamers, the group singing patriotic songs and ringing a bell for each of the 13 colonies, and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Next was a barbecue with more dixieland, hot dogs and a spectacular belly flop contest. As you can image, size matters in the belly flop contest. We finished the day watching a fireworks display and then tucked in our own little American girl. This list of activities is duplicated throughout the country each and every year.

The colors red, white and blue are symbolic of our national pride and should be enjoyed on other days besides July Fourth. This adorable personalized lunch box is a great way for your children to "wave the flag" and it is also a great place for little ones to store crayons and toys. It is also lead-free (did you know that many lunch boxes contain high amounts of lead?). The personalized lunch box is available in this and other colors for $29.00 http://somethingaboutbaby.com/item_1263/Personalized-Lunch-Box--Red-Blue-Stripe.htm

I hope that you and your families enjoyed a wonderful Independence Day and celebrated our country's birthday. Thank you for stopping by and take care.

Father's Day: It's A Guy Thing

2008-06-14T13:06:00.000-07:00

Most people I know celebrate Father's Day doing "guy" things -- playing golf, planning barbecues, and going to the hardware store to stock up on tools and stuff. Stuff -- hardware stores are filled with stuff. My husband can spend all day going up and down the aisles of the home improvement store and come home with some new gadget.

Even little guys like their guy stuff -- dinosaurs, astronauts, trains, trucks and tools. Something About Baby has tons of stuff for little dudes. Check this out: Doodlebugz Crayola Crayon Toolbelt. It comes with a pad of paper, perfectly sized for small hands, and 10 Crayola washable crayons ($27 with personalization and $17 without). This adorable toolbelt features an adjustable hook and loop closure in the back and it easy to take on and off.

Order one today:

What could be more perfect for that summer family reunion you have this summer?

Cover Up Your Little Bathing Beauty

2008-05-16T13:25:00.000-07:00

The San Francisco Bay area has been experiencing an unseasonal heat wave and we have been trying to stay cool by visiting Grandma and Grandpa's house for a quick dip in the pool. Coco loves to swim, but she always doesn't love to wear her swimsuit. Who knew that our four-year-old daughter was such a nudist! She must think that she in the South of France instead of at Grandpa's house.

At any rate, we found the perfect solution -- a cute beach cover up monogrammed with her initials. She loves to run around in her fashionable poolside attire and she even slips it on after her bath. She calls it her "beach dress". If your little beach bunny needs to be covered, check out the swim suit cover ups ($40) at www.somethingaboutbaby.com. We have a large selection of colors available and these personalized items make terrific gifts.

Something About Mother's Day

2008-05-10T11:10:00.000-07:00

There is just something about Mother's Day that gives us a reason to celebrate and to think about this occasion as more than a "Hallmark holiday". This May ritual is an opportunity to honor not only our own mother, but also the women who have meant so much to us. As a child, I remember waking up on Mother's Day as my mother was preparing crepes (truly a labor of love) and fresh orange juice. To her, slaving away in the kitchen for her family was the ideal day for her and we happily devoured her creations. When I became a mother four years ago, I wondered how I would choose to spend my so-called holiday. So many like to sleep in, enjoy breakfast in bed, get dressed up, go to a fancy brunch, drink mimosas and admire the flowers and gifts presented to them. Sounds like great fun, but I decided for something a bit different. Rather than dressing up and eating way too much, I will celebrate by talking a walk by the San Francisco Bay with my husband, daughter and five-month-old puppy and enjoy the sunshine (well, in San Francisco, it will be filtered through the fog), think about my mother and her delicious crepes (maybe she is making them in Heaven too!) and then stopping by the nursery to buy some roses that will (hopefully) bloom in time for Mother's Day next year. Having said that, I wouldn't mind a mimosa and I will be toasting all of you on this day.

Keepsake gifts are a wonderful addition to mommy's jewelry box. I found this adorable baby shoe necklace that is so fun for new mommy's and a popular "push present".

It's a match made in heaven! A pair of pavé set crystal toe baby shoes -- perfect as a new mother's gift -- play inside a beautiful heart, all in sterling silver. The Swarovski crystals baby toes shoe necklaces are available in pink, blue and white. You can order one for $180.00 by visiting www.somethingaboutbaby.com

Take care and thank you for visiting,
