Hi!
I have put together a website of all the things I use for my own kids.... so yes, I personally think these are the best! Things I love to really check out: Oopsy Daisy Beautiful Baby, Baby Air Car, Skin Care and Sunscreen, Ok, this could go on for a while. Check out www.shopexclusivebaby.com. Yes, I DO own most things on the site, or at least one thing from a particular brand. My kids are almost 2 and 3 and I still have alot of products to add, but time is not something I have in excess these days. One of the safest car seat brands is Racaro, they are the same company that makes the seats for actual race cars. Also, I would not recommend using a bumper pad in the crib until your baby can roll over. If you have any questions at all, please email me through the site. Good Luck!

So I started my own web store and I'm selling all of my favorite things. Yes, I do actually own one thing from each brand on the site! As a mom of a 2 and 3 year old, I don't have alot of time to add new products. I add and add everyday when they nap. Please let me know any great product suggestions and I'll try to carry it on my site. Check out my favorite picks at www.shopexclusivebaby.com

My favorite things:
Removeable Murals
Tike Tech Strollers (Yes, I own both the single and the double)
Angel Song Rocker Glider
Anything from Baby Air Care
Oopsy Diasy (OK, so this stuff is really the best thing you'll ever buy)
Skin Care and Sunscreen

If you want great art, go to www.shopexclusivebaby.com and check out the removable murals. All the murals are done by the same artist who then puts his artwork onto removable paper.

Hello to all moms!
With flu season coming fast, and for some already here, you are all probably racing for your purell. Did you know there were 12,000 children injured with Purell last year? Purell will actually work to strip the paint off your walls, what is it doing to our kids hands! Luckily I have just found the best alternative! I was introduced to the Oopsy Daisy line of hair and body products this September at the ABC Kids Show. Oopsy Daisy has a line of NATURAL no rinse products, high chair hair care is awesome, I use it all the time! The no rinse body wash is what we now use to replace our purell. I have a travel size bottle in my purse and a regular size we keep in the kitchen. The stuff comes out as a foam, you "wash" your hands, kids' feet, face, whatever is dirty, and you don't need water! We probably over use it a little in our house, we we love it. You can buy it at www.shopexclusivebaby.com. Just FYI, check out the removeable murals at the same site!

Hi, I'm Cheryl, Mommy to my creative little 2-year-old--tutu wearing--'disco diva princess', and the owner/designer/gift consultant behind www.SimplyPreciousCakes.com.

I was inspired by all my friend's and family baby showers I attended. After always buying from the usual gift registries and ALWAYS giving duplicate gifts, I decided to make my own custom baby diaper cakes, gift baskets and baby bouquets! I couldn't believe that they were a total HIT at EVERY party I attended! From bridal to baby to birthday, and more! We are proud to be the ORIGINAL Simply Precious Baby Cake Boutique Shop.

If you would like to order your one-of-a-kind diaper cake, towel cake, baby bouquet (made from baby socks, bibs & more) or even a gift basket. I specialize in custom making them with high quality materials. Please visit my website: www.simplypreciouscakes.com. We can deliver locally or ship to you anywhere in the U.S.

I also manage www.giftsbymimi.com and do custom diaper cakes and a few custom gift baskets for them as well.

We have a fabulous kid-friendly, family event & true story to tell everyone about!

Ever since our daughter was 6-months-old and still working on reaching her milestones of crawling, first steps, etc.

We found out about a local Baby Loves Disco event and decided to try it out since my husband and I both loved music and enjoyed dancing.

Well, believe it or not, but after attending the first event at BLD, and watching all the babies crawling and the toddlers groovin' and movin'....my little girl started crawling on her own! She crawled all the way up the stairs of san francisco's ruby skye's nightclub at her 2nd event! We couldn't believe it!

Since then, we attended every BLD on a regular basis and guess what? She ended up taking her first steps at 10 months of age--stumbling across the dance floor with tears of joy in her eyes! She couldn't believe it herself! We weren't planning to have her start walking so early! Otherwise, we would have brought our camcorder along! Luckily, Baby Loves Disco had their very own photographer, so we managed to get a lot of cute pictures to capture her milestone! It was truly unbelievable and so memorable! We picked a perfect place and such a great kid-friendly event! Since then, we have been groovin' on the dance floor with egg shakers, scarves, hula hoops and bubbles!! She's 2 years old now, and we still strongly believe in the power of music(disco music, that is!) as well as rhythm and movement!

As a parent, we strongly encourage ever parent to try it out! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Now, after two years of attending the event religiously, I am proud to be co-hosting the local Baby Loves Disco (South Bay) event close to home! We absolutely LOVE IT! Hope to meet everyone at the next Baby Loves Disco event on November 1st.
