How cute does this sound -- a toothbrush specially designed for tot hands and mouths, that comes with one minute of tot-friendly music and encouraging phrases to motivate and congratulate little ones as they brush their teeth!? That's just what Tooth Tunes Junior ($19.95) does! Tot Snob Kelly's little bundle of joy uses the Star Wars-themed one and she says it helps tots brush properly because the music doesn't go on until there is proper pressure on the brush head. Plus, children will hear motivational phrases throughout the brushing cycle (beginning, middle, and end), so brushing is less of a chore and a little bit more fun for little kids who don't fully understand the benefits of brushing yet:) Check it out here -- Tooth Tunes Junior the Lion King "I Just Can't Wait to Be King".

Little kids love to see their name on anything and everything. I had pink "business cards" with my name and home phone number printed on them before I was even old enough to know how to properly read or write. I remember just handing them out to everyone I came in contact with...not too safe now that I look back...eech! Anyway, these days it's much easier to see your name used in a fun way. I think it's great that you can personalize or monogram anything from clips to bathing towels to having a star named after a loved ones name! That's why I'm totally loving Name Your Design. They can add any name you like to a wide array of canvases. They have so many cute designs to pick from! Personally I love all that is candy and chocolate so I'm all over the gumball machine -- what a great way to decorate and liven-up your tot's room while giving your little one a fabulous keepsake as you teach them to appreciate art:)

Why is it that no matter how much money I spend on the latest and greatest baby gear, the following week it is outdated and obsolete?! About a year ago, I purchased a convertible car seat for my second child. I was thrilled to be rid of the carrier. Immediately I went to buy a "big boy" car seat for my son. Yippee!! No more carriers to lug and with two car seats, this meant my 3.5 year old daughter could bring a friend home from school for a play date. However, isn't there always a catch...it also meant I had to constantly install and reinstall the car seat from forward to rear facing. Oh the broken nails and ruined manicures I endured until my son's car seat was permanently forward facing. You can imagine my envy when I saw the Combi Zeus in my friend's car. This car seat installs once and swivels from forward to rear facing with the lift of a lever. The swivel seat makes getting her infant in and out easier too. She just swivels the chair sideways and her baby fastens right in. No awkward hunching, bending, or twisting. It accommodates infants from 5 - 50 pounds. While I can't justify spending another $300 on car seat, if you are in the market this is the one. Watch the demo video. Available at One Step Ahead ($299.95).
