Cute File Folders

Love, love, LOVE these folders!! I know it's little and folders aren't that cheap but having nice folders in my filing cabinet just makes me happy! I love how my filing cabinet looks and if keeping cute folders helps to me stay organized then I'm willing to splurge.

Oriental Trading Craft Kits

I love orientaltrading.com. They have great ideas for crafts (which most of the time you have to buy a set of 6 or more), trinkets for Halloween, birthday parties, and summer fun. Prices are great and they always seem to have what I'm looking for. I've done kids crafts at a hospital nearby and usually place an order for random things to keep everyone occupied. Here are a few of my finds:

Kiss My Face Products

I'm always on the hunt for organic products. I have tried many different types of deodorant but my favorite lately is one made by "Kiss My Face". I think I am allergic to aluminum and using this deodorant helps with what I was experiencing because it is aluminum free. I also tried the shower gels which are amazing and smell lovely!

I love the below shower gel. Smells like the best cup of tea ever and I think the name "early to bed" is perfect. I feel so relaxed when I hop out of the shower. It smells like clove, chamomile, jasmine, lavender, neroli, and ylang ylang.

Kiss My Face Early to Bed Shower Gel - $10.95 at kissmyfacewebstore.com

The deodorant I use is:

Kiss My Face Active Enzyme Scented Stick Deodorant - $5.99 at Kissmyfacewebstore.com

The site says that it lasts all day but if I work out after work I definitely am sure to reapply.

I also like their small selection of sun screens. They are paraben free, fragrance free, UVA and UVB protection, plus it's water resistant and fragrance free. Here is what we have:

Kiss My Face Sunscreen - $12.95 at kissmyfacewebstore.com

I bought my products at Whole Foods but notice that on the Kiss My Face web site, there's a sale going on for 15% off your order when you use code KMFLOVE9

I love these plush little guys. My favorite is the monkey. Miyim makes organic toys that are free of pesticides and made of cotton. I know it's not listed here but I bought my friends daughter one at Whole Foods so I think you can find them in store also.

Newborn Nursery Dolls

I just love baby dolls as you've seen from other posts. I found a new group of baby dolls from Newborn Nursery and they are adorable! So life life and they have wrinkles and creases in their tiny feet. They weigh about 4 pounds and measure roughly 19-20". There are so many babies to choose from but as always, I will just post three.

Boon's Squirt Spoon

It's a spoon, it's a bowl...it's a squirt?! Whatever it is, it sure seems handy for babies on the go! It's fine when you have to request an extra bowl at a restaurant but what about when you're on a long drive and have to pack a bowl? I like the idea of this. You fill the bulb and basically squeeze a little so that food comes down into the spoon. It also comes with a protective cover in case baby doesn't eat everything and you need to keep things covered in between feedings. I think it saves space in the diaper bag and also great for one handed feeding. What do you think? Would you buy one?

P.S. It's BPA free, Phthalate free and PVC free.

Boon Squirt Spoon in Orange - $7.99 at Booninc.com

Boon Squirt Spoon in Pink - $7.99 at Booninc.com

Bilibo

Bilibo is designed for children of different ages. The toy relies on the child's imagination and passion for playing. Know how sometimes kids have more fun playing with the box the gift came in rather than the gift itself? It's kind of like that. The Bilibo can be anything your child imagines it to be. A child can sit in it, use it as a turtle shell, a cradle, a hat and the list can go on and on!

Pink Bilibo - $30 at kidonyc.com

Bilibo in Green - $30 at Kidonyc.com

Red Bilibo - $30 at kidonyc.com

Bloom High Chair

I love these high chairs! I think they're so hip looking and they are great for babies from 0 - 36 months. I think the colors they come in are great and offer some variety to your regular high chair. Holds up to 79 pounds. The tray is super sized and has a deep lip to prevent spills.
