If you’re looking for a convenient, modern way of keeping a baby journal then look no further than Kidmondo. Kidmondo is a new personalized online baby journal that helps parents to easily chronicle their child’s life and share it with friends and family in a safe environment. It’s a modern take on the classic babybook, offering parents such features as an online diary to record milestones, photo & video gallery, growth & dental charts, medical & food journals, and an interactive timeline of the child’s life.
Best of all it’s free! There are several levels of pricing, with the first being completely free if you don’t mind ads. The next level up without any ads is only $5 a month. This $5 level will give you all the features available for up to five children, no ads will be shown and you get 100MB of storage. In my opinion this is the obvious way to go for only $60 a year.
Here’s a great product that was recently brought to my attention. The Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) is an innovative child harness that weighs less than a pound and provides extra support to children who weigh between 22-44 pounds on an airplane. In the past, parents had to bring bulky car seats on planes for children…not any more!
CARES retails for $74.95 and is certified for all phases of flight – taxiing, take off, turbulence and landing. CARES is manufactured exclusively by AmSafe, the foremost manufacturer of aviation seatbelts and pilot restraints in the world. (Turn over your airplane seat belt buckle. Chances are it says AmSafe.) To help parents become comfortable with CARES, each unit comes with an instructional video and card in an easy-to-handle carrying case. For more information, visit their website at www.kidsflysafe.com
As anyone who reads through TheNewParentsGuide.com website knows (since I contribute to several of the sites articles), I’m more of a fan of cloth diapering than I am of disposables. In all the reading and studying that I’ve done on the subject, I simply feel the benefits of cloth diapering far outweigh any type of “so-called” benefit of disposables. Better for the earth, better for baby and usually better on the pocket if you look at the big picture.
When I received an email from a company called Bumkins and looked into their products I was really excited to see the products they offer. Most companies will usually cover one area of cloth diapering, but not Bumkins. They’ve covered them all.
They offer an all-in-one diaper that has 6 layers of absorbent 100% cotton flannel on the inside, a waterproof shell, an airflow panel for easy laundering and quicker drying, Velcro closures and best of all they’re PVC, Phthalate and vinyl free. Their two piece system (insert with outer cover) has all the same benefits as the all in one. They even have bamboo diapers, flats and pull on pants and you’ll find a huge selection of prints to choose from too. If you want to see all the benefits of their diapers check out their very nicely done “Cloth Diapering Guide”.
Belly Cravings is a really creative company conceived in 2006 by Kim Kean. She was talking with her then pregnant sister about her latest food conquests. The idea came to mind that it’s every pregnant woman’s privilege to discover and share her unique pregnancy related cravings. Kim, having experienced two pregnancies herself knew how compelling a pregnancy craving can be. “What the belly wants, the belly gets” was her pregnancy mantra.
Belly Cravings offers really cute custom cut maternity tank tops and t-shirts for the hip mom-to-be as well as bibs and onesies for your newborn. Belly Cravings tops are designed to showcase your belly from the barely there to the soon to deliver stage of pregnancy. The garments feature the phrase “I crave” with a range of expressions that let you showcase both your belly and your wit.
The two that stood out to me are the “I crave to meet you” and the “I crave a Mocktail” tanks…now you can look stylish as you sip on your doctor approved beverage
I’ve been reading through the book “Cradle to Cradle” lately…it’s a really eye opening book that everyone should read. It makes you look at everything you do and use in a completely different way. A few days ago I had come across a blog post by a mother that was interested in being more eco-friendly. She was having trouble with this because the financial aspects of being eco-friendly are difficult for her. In particular she was discussing diapers. Before now there have really been just two options; cloth and disposable. She knows there are disadvantages and advantages to both of these options, but she was settling on disposables simply because of the cheap cost. I decided to look around a little and see if there was something new that was not only eco-friendly, but also cost effective. And to my surprises there is!
gDiapers is a flushable diaper system that is good for babies, parents and the planet. gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. gDiaper flushable with super absorber keep bottoms feeling dry. Washable ‘little g’ pants, with snap in liners, are made of water resistant breathable material to keep wetness away. Best of all gDiapers are Cradle to Cradle certified. I’m only ¾ of the way through this book and I can tell this is not an easy certification to get. gDiapers may be slightly more expensive than disposables, but when you look at the overall picture you’re much better off (for you, baby and the earth) to go with gDiapers. Starter kits contain 2 washable pants, 10 flushables, and 1 swishstick for $24.99. Refill packs are $13.99 and contain 40 small flushables or 32 medium/large flushables. Check out the video below and see how the gDiaper flushable becomes one with the earth again compared to other plastic disposables.
