When it comes to tech stuff my husband has me beat. He installs, uploads, downloads and networks while I am left kinda confused.  I love technology although I really don’t have as much skill as I hope to someday have, I still consider myself a self proclaimed geek. I love gadgets, tech toys and all toys considered “educational”. With a love for stuff for smart masses, Think Geek is the ultimate online store for geeks and those who love them. Think Geek has an amazing variety of cool stuff on a really, really easy to navigate website. You can shop by category;  geek toys, home and office, electronics etc. To make shopping easier, within each category, your search is then subdivided into several other categories. Geek toys, for example is then divided into plush, collectibles, games and puzzles etc. If you are not sure which to choose you can view all and enjoy the search, there are so many really neat products.

We received for review the Illuminated Jet Bib Feeding System; a waterproof bib designed to look like an airport landing strip that has LED lights which are motion activated, causing the sides of runway to illuminate and the spoon is a lighted LED jet plane which  has on/off switch and three spoon attachments. It is so cute, my husband and my son both are amused and there is lots of fun had during meal times. My husband makes little plane noises and our son opens wide. It’s quite cute to watch.

Think Geek has so many categories to choose from; there is a bit of everything for everybody. There are gifts like your basic graphic tee with some cute slogans such as “come to the dark side, we have cookies” and “I see dead pixels” and the very funny office folders with with attitude; Papers to shuffle endlessly thereby accomplishing nothing (If you laughed out loud, this is the website for you).

If you are not sure what to choose, Think Geek has a new gift finder. Start by choosing  one of two types of gifts from a selection of 16 (Gadgets, kitchen and books etc), then sort by price , then choose a few interests from the 26 listed (DIY, Eco and Mom etc) and there will be several great choices for the geek on your shopping list. It was hard to narrow down some favorites as Think Geek has a really extensive line of products, but I’d have to say one of my favorites are the  Star Wars kids costumes. Seriously, I know what Hudson will be next year, how cute are these?

Along with the adorable kids selections, Think Geek more gadgets and accessories than I would have ever imagined existed. There are gadgets for the outdoorsy like the weatherman wave tool, the Emergency Sunscreen, and titanium sporks…just to name a few.

Check out Think Geek, you’ll find an amazing assortment of products.

Dilly Dally Bibbies is one of My Wee View Favs of 2009.  I had the opportunity to review the Dilly Dally Bibbie in April, you can read the full review here.  I use the  Dilly Dally Bibbie that I received nearly everyday.  The bib is nice and thick and ties in the back so there is no opportunity for my daughter to take it off.  The bib also covers a large area so there is no chance for food to make it onto any clothing.  The bib is also reversible so if you get sick of one pattern, you can flip it over to display another fantastic pattern.  I get so many compliments on the  Dilly Dally Bibbie as well.  Everyone thinks that it must have been handmade by a loving grandparent because it is so unique and not something you just come across in any store.  It makes my daughter look great, keeps her clean, and makes me look like I have some style too.

Dilly Dally Bibbies can also be used as a smock for cooking and crafts.  They come in sizes newborn to size 5!  There is now also a Mommy line.

The  Dilly Dally Bibbies is very functional and stylish, this is why I’ve chosen it as a MWV fav of 2009.  I would say it number 1 or 2 on my list of favourites for 2009.  I usually suggest the Dilly Dally Bibbie as a shower, newborn, or birthday gift!

I LOVE Dilly Dally Bibbies & it is a MWV Fav of 2009!

COUPON CODE: “WEEVIEW” for 20% off your entire order.

Giveaway: Once Lucky MWV reader is going to receive a Bibbie of their own ($35 – $39 Value)

Christmas Gift Idea for Babies and Toddlers

Its been a long been a tradition in our family to give everyone a nickname, they usually are quite ridiculous and start quite earnestly. My son, at the tender age of 9 months has become “Hudson one sock”. As previously stated, quite ridiculous and quite earnest. I am sure all babies lose their socks, its just that he always seems to lose one…and its always the same foot. If I had a nickel for every time during the day I’ve put his socks back on him, I think I could take a years vacation. To be fair, its not just socks…its a few pairs of his shoes as well. I am delighted that he is so mobile and so eager to scoot around the floor, I just worry his little feet are going to be cold. Our place is more than warm but we like his toes to be cozy.

I received for review a pair of Baby Booties Soft Soled Slippers, a matching terry cloth backed bib and and beige fleece beanie from BePe Baby. While quite cute, I was a bit skeptical about slippers for a baby. Hudson can’t keep a pair of socks or shoes on so how can he keep on slippers? I was very pleasantly surprised to see that they did stay on as they are very snug. The slippers are made from a snugly fleece, with a slip resistant bottom (love this) and have an elastic across the front of the foot and around the back to secure on your baby’s foot. The fleece is really warm, great to keep baby’s toes warm while cruising around. We found they were so cozy they would have been too warm to sleep in the entire evening but they were just perfect for daytime.

The bib has a quilted cloth front and has a terry cloth back so its fully reversible. The bibs from BePe Baby are larger than average and we love this because our son often gets more on him than in him and this has saved several of his little shirts.

The bib has a velcro closure and fits snugly so no food gets in between his neck and the bib. One wouldn’t think this would happen often but my son has a knack for getting his food everywhere.

In addition to snugly slippers and bibs, BePe Baby carries a mix of super cute little hats; fleece, knitted and cotton beanies.

Lots of cute prints to choose from for boys, girls and even a selection of gender neutral accessories.

Check out range of funky accessories for moms at BePe Baby; choose from a wide variety of bright and bold fabrics for the key fobs and some funky reversaible jacquard print belts, all of which are handmade. As an added bonus, all products can be custom made so you can have all your accessories made to match.

In a recent post, I mentioned how I love ingenious features on little kid’s clothing; that these little additions were what separated the wheat from the chaff. I would like to continue in that vein of thought for another product that I have received for review.

The Silly Billyz Fleece Pocket Bib, has great features you would not necessarily know are great until the day of your first feeding. For starters, the bibs are PVC and lead free. When I began reading about plastics, I was appalled at the contaminants list in many products – our family now shops wisely and closely researches what comes into our home. Before kids, I might have thought the bib pocket was for storing toys, but it turns out it catches the big globs of food that your kid’s mouth misses at EVERY feeding. Bottom line: less mess (is there a parent out there who wouldn’t appreciate that?). The double snap closure is great for any child that loves to pull their bib off (i.e. every child) and also means that it can be adjusted for different sized necks. Before, I never would have thought that a child could grow out of a bib, now I know growth happens at an alarming rate – even at the neck. The fleece is stain resistant (the strained carrot cleaner in this family loves this feature) and does not pill, making your purchase worth every penny.

Silly Billyz offers a complete bib selection, from Biblets (smaller bibs for smaller kids), Bling Bibs (bibs with sayings, like “I’m The Boss”) and my personal favorite: the Messy Eater bib (a long sleeved bib that has enough material to cover your messy eater’s lap). Silly Billyz carries a few other items and I suggest you check out the nylon fleece lined overalls.

By the way, the Fleece Pocket Bib from Silly Billyz was a 2005-6 Mother and Baby finalist for Best Feeding Product. Who knew that a bib could deliver so much? I didn’t. At least, not before kids.

Baby products are not just about satisfying baby’s needs. Sure, it is important to look at form and function, practicality, thoughtfulness and a little ingenuity, but parents crave an additional element that is often overlooked: style. The Modern Baby Co. is exactly what every parent is looking for.

For review, I received a “Pink Diamond” baby bib, a “Butterflies” burp cloth and a “Blue Diamonds” mini plush baby blanket with toy / pacifier strap. Let me say at the outset that I loved them all – and how could I not?

The baby bib is made of a thick, durable polyester cotton blend that looks fantastic. The terry cloth backing increases the bib’s absorbency and can double as an extra face cloth in moments of panic (a.k.a. the kind of moment where you wish you had ten extra cloths and at least three extra arms to handle the mess your kid joyously just created). The bib fastens with a double snap (for adjustable neck sizing), so it presents a wee bit more of a challenge for those who like to pull their bibs off mid-feeding (not pointing any fingers here).  And it washes like a dream.

The burp cloth is made of the same material as the bib, making it a perfect must have item for going out. Or, if you prefer, use it at home when you have seen one too many rosebud or truck patterns in your day and need a fashion pick me up. The burp cloth stores easily, so it does not add too much bulk to your already large diaper bag.

Our favorite was the mini baby blanket. Again, made of the same polyester cotton blend chic design, but the backing is an absolute delight for baby. Made of a soft plush microfiber, Genevieve could not decide which she liked more: sucking on the blanket or squishing the softness between her toes. This mini blanket, measuring at 15 x 20 inches, has a great flap of material with snap closure so that you can either attach the blanket to your stroller or affix your soother. I love this feature. Love it. The website, www.themodernbabyco.com boasts a selection of coordinating wall art, pillows and mobiles.

The The Modern Baby Co. has a beautiful website and a wonderful array of fashionable baby gear. In addition to the above, they also carry baby and toddler bedding, mobiles, decorative pillows, apparel (these are absolutely adorable, by the way), larger plush baby blankets, change mats (that roll up with its own fastener!) and wall art. This is especially good for those of us who cannot coordinate to save their lives; The Modern Baby Co. is a one stop shop. All products are manufactured in the USA.

Buy it: To purchase, visit online at The Modern Baby Co.

A few weeks ago I introduced all of you to a very creative jewelry designer Colleen Ash.  A few years ago, after Colleen’s son was born, she transferred some of her creativity from jewelry making to wee ones.  She has started  to make bibs, booties and taggie blankies for babies.  Colleen has been more than a pleasure to do business with and she has just created a new children’s line called This Little Piggy.

Colleen sent me a few things from This Little Piggy to try out.  The first is a taggie blankie.  The blanket has about 16 different lengths and thickness of tags for babies to suck and chew on (great for my teething toddler).  The blanket is also made with a super soft fleece on one side and a cotton on the other so the fabric feels nice on tiny hands.  This Little Piggy also included some little teething rings on the taggies, I thought this was a marvelous idea, it gives Genevieve one extra thing to bite on.

I also received a bib from This Little Piggy, the bib is hand made, and had a thick terry cloth on one side and a cute jelly bean pattern on the other side.  The bib is very absorbent, and has a very lengthy velcro tab so the bib can be quite small or rather large.  It will fit around every babies neck and double chin, big or small.  The bib is not super huge, and fits Genevieve’s chest area.  This is just a classic bib that any child can wear, and is easy to bring with you for an outing.

The last item that I received from This Little Piggy is a pair of booties.  This little booties were made from polar fleece (but there are other options as well). I’m not sure if any of you have worked with stripped material before, but it is so hard to get the pattern right, especially when you have to make 2 identical items. This Little Piggy has made the shoes identical even with the stripe pattern.  The shoes have a elastic around the heel so they stay on just as well as any other shoes do.  While sitting in her car seat, Genevieve can take them off herself (a new trick she learned with all her shoes), but while busy like jumping and crawling around the shoes stay on.

This Little Piggy is just starting out with children’s items and is on their way to a very successful line of handmade items.  The prices are very very fair and Colleen is just a pleasure to deal with!

Buy it: To purchase these and other This Little Piggy items, visit them online

I’m sure all of you have been in this situation:  You are out with your child, you have all your food ready and a bib, and then you realize you forgot a baby spoon and you end up using a tea spoon and feeling guilty about it.  I know it has happened to me (more than once).  But, it doesn’t happen anymore!  There is a bib travelling system called Bibagogo, which is the creation of ISISunders, a Canadian baby fashion company from Alberta, Canada.  You will never be without a spoon or a cloth to clean your child again.

The Deluxe bib by  Bibagogo, is so easy!  It has two snaps around the neck so it can grow with your baby.  The Bibagogo is so long (the longest bib I have next to a full body bib with legs).  It reaches way past Genevieve’s tummy, so there is no chance that anything will make it onto her shirt or pants.  What is really great, is that in the back of the bib, there are little compartments to carry all your food accessories.  There is one long and skinny pocket for a baby spoon, and two square compartments for carrying things like a wash cloth or even some flash cards or a little toy.  The  Bibagogo also folds down into a very small compact little package making it easy to take with you wherever you go, it’s a “roll and go” system.

I leave this bib and all it’s accessories, in my diaper bag so I will be sure that when I am out and about, I will have everything that I need for feeding Genevieve.  It’s so neat to have everything stored in the back of the  Bibagogo, it always impresses the people I am with and I get reactions like “Oh,,, what a great idea”.  And it is a great idea.  It has really made my life a little bit easier, and isn’t that what we all want as parents?  Things that make our lives easier?

Another idea for this bib is to leave it at grandma’s house.  Because it’s so compact, it won’t take any space at the grandparents house and there will always be a generous size bib, and a spoon waiting for you when you are visiting.  I don’t know how many times I’ve forgotten to bring things to my Mom’s house.  I think it’s because sometimes we just end up stopping by without really having the intention of going there.  Needless to say, I won’t be bib and spoonless again at my Moms.

The Bibagogo is nice and bright, is a very generous size and is made out of a Eurppean Stain Resistant material that does not allow for stains or leaks.  You can actually just wash it off and use it a few times before it needs to be put into the washer.  The Bibagogo is very useful, and you will never see yourself looking for a baby spoon again.  It really makes sense for travelling well, as it’s becomes very compact and carries all your items.  The pocket that it rolls into is also a food catcher!  How clever is that?

There is also the original version which does not include all the little pockets in the back, but it does have the “roll and go” capabilities, and is the same size and has the 2 snaps around the neck.  But if you would like my humble opinion, go with the full meal deal, it’s worth it.

But it: To purchase the Bibagogo Original or Deluxe visit Bibagogo online

Win it: Bibagogo would like to offer a Deluxe Bibagogo and a stay-at-home Bibagogo Original” package – total value: $60.00 - to a lucky My Wee View reader.

Many children’s items are the products of Mompreneurs, Dilly Dally Bibbies is no exception, it was started by Donna, a mom of 2 girls in 1952.  The tradition has now continued with Donna’s daughter Lynne taking her Mom’s original pattern and starting her own business.  Dilly Dally Bibbies is a family affair, and I am sure Donna is more than pleased with the quality of work Lynne puts into her products.  Lynne has added a few new features to the original Bibbie, to make it reversible and more absorbent.  She did not change the original Bibbie design, she just enhanced her mothers already great product. Lynne has been so busy with Dilly Dally Bibbies, that she has had to move production to California.

I dealt with Lynne herself at Dilly Dally Bibbies, there are so many great and modern reversible patterns for the bibbie it was difficult to pick just one.  I decided on the Chocolate Truffle as I just love the pink and brown combo, and did you all know that paisley fabric is back in fashion?  My father said he used to have a paisley shirt back in the 70’s!  A few weeks after first contacting Lynne, my bibbie came in the mail and I was more than surprised at the cute package I received.

I received the most wonderful bibbie from Dilly Dally Bibbies.  The quality and precision of work that has gone into this bib is like none other I have seen. The bibbie is made out of a quilted fabric, and the bias seam is placed at the exact point at where the quilting ends to continue the quilting look.  How is that for precision and paying close attention to detail.  The seem is barely (if at all) noticeable.

I love this bib, it is one of my favourites to bring to play dates.  I have a baby girl and I dress her up in the most fantastic outfits, the Dilly Dally Bibbie covers my daughters entire torso and back too, so it leaves very little room (if any) for her to get food on her clothing.  It’s very easy to place her arms through the arm holes and tie the bibbie around her neck, which means she can’t pull it off.  This is one of those bibs that all the other moms at the play date notice and talk about.  I have yet to see anyone else’s child with such a fashionable and functional bib.

The Dilly Dally Bibbie catches everything that would otherwise fall onto my daughters chest or shoulder area (yes food does end up on her shoulders, she is a very very messy eater).  Even her sides are covered with the bibbie which is a bonus because now that she is starting to feed herself bananas, they tend to end up everywhere but her mouth.  I just have to make make sure to roll up her sleeves and the rest of her clothing remains dry and clean with the bibbie!  The bibbie is made with bright colours so carrots and peas seem to blend in with the material so it rarely looks dirty even while eating.

I have used and washed the Dilly Dally Bibbie a number of times and it has not shrunk and it still looks as good as new.  This is a high quality bib that will have everyone talking.  I am more than impressed with the sewing job, and that the bib is totally reversible so you can have 2 looks for the price of one.  This bib can be used for mealtime, arts and crafts, cooking or just for playing around.  Dilly Dally Bibbies have sizes from 0 up to 5 years.

This will easily become your most favourite bib and fashion accessory, and it will save many of your children’s outfits!

Buy it: To buy one of these fashionable and functional Bibbies, visit Dilly Dally Bibbies online store, they are currently offering free shipping with the code FREESHIP when you check out.

Win it: Dilly Dally Bibbies is giving away a fantastic bibbie to a lucky My Wee View reader.

Happy Earth Day everyone!

We are finally beginning to realize that we are running out  of natural resources, and that not everything is renewable.  If we want this world to be here for our children and our children’s children, we really have to start taking care of the world that we live in.  Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows very quickly.  Some types of bamboo can grow up to 1 meter per day. Some have even said you can “watch it grow”, it grows so quickly.  I have to say a few years ago when I first heard about things being made of bamboo, I thought the items would be rough and itchy, kind of like a burlap sack.  It’s hard to believe that clothing and other material made out of bamboo which is a wood, can actually be very very soft, and be just as functional as cotton or terry cloth, but be even more absorbent. As a mom with a small child, I really appreciate any company that is working hard to keep this world a better place for my daughter.

Bamboosa makes all their products out of bamboo, they have items for babies, and moms and dads too.  They have clothing, cloths, towels, blankets, bibs, along with quite a few other products all made from bamboo!  I dealt with Mindy at Bamboosa, she was delightful to work with. Shortly after our first contact I received a beautiful package from Bamboosa.  The packaging from Bamboosa was top notch!  Everything was made from reuseable materials, the paper, ties, tags and inserts are made from recycled paper as well as the Bamboo tissue paper.  The ties are made from hemp!  I love detail, and I was very pleased to see the amount of effort that Bamboosa has put into their packaging.

The products at Bamboosa are just as good.  I received a cute pink bamboo bib with a little panda bear cub picture on it.  The bibs are 80% Viscose from Organic Bamboo and 20% recycled polyester (rPET) – recycled soda bottles- I have never heard of that before! The bottles are sorted, shredded, then melted and spun into fiber. The EPA and the FDA has tested recycled PET bottle material for any harmful effects with the conclusion that rPET is of “suitable purity for food-contact use”. Recycling organizations and manufacturers have embraced this technology as a positive use of recycled material and alternative to landfill disposal.  How cool is that?

The bib ties around the back so I can always get the perfect fit around my daughters double chin. The bib is a generous size and covers her chest very nicely. The most surprising part about this bib is how absorbent it is.  For a very lightweight piece of material, it can hold a lot of moisture. My daughter is a very messy eater, I think more food gets on her than in her mouth.  It’s really hard to get the spoon in the right place when her arms are flapping about.  It’s like an obstacle course for me to get food in her mouth. I have to dodge her hands then I have to try to get the spoon into her mouth which she is moving back and forth.  So, in some cases, I am surprised that any food makes it into her mouth at all.  So as you may have guessed, most of her food makes it onto her bib or highchair tray.  Because of this, I need a really nice thick bib that will catch all the missed food.  The bib from Bamboosa is so absorbent, none of the carrots, or peas leaked through onto her clothes.  I was interested to see how absorbent this bib really was, so I ran it under water.  After about 30 seconds of being placed under a running tap at high pressure, water did start to soak through to the other side.  The weird thing was that the water did not spread to other parts of the bib, it just remained where I had run the tap.

This bib is lightweight and very easy to bring around in a diaper bag as it folds up pretty small.  These Bamboosa bibs come in pink, white. blue and green. If you are looking for a very easy way to help with the environment, a bib made from bamboo is perfect, they are soft, absorbent and these ones are cute too.

The other item I was sent from Bamboosa was some washcloths.  The washcloths are made from the same composition as the bib, so once again, they are bamboo and recycled polyester. Babies have extremely sensitive skin so the softness of these bamboo washcloths are great for them.  The cloths are absorbent so it makes it very easy to wash their little bodies with.  I especially like using these cloths for washing my daughters hair.  I can just fill the cloth with water and pass the cloth over her head.  This eliminates me from having to pour water over her head and potentially putting shampoo in her eyes.  I can get enough water from the washcloth to remove the soap after just a few squeezes.  I like these cloths as well.  They are very soft and fluffy, and feel great to use.  These great washcloths come in packages of 5, but I can promise you that you will want more as they are ultra soft!  There are adult sizes as well, but I find the baby size is fine for me.

If you would like to make this world a better place for your children.  Please invest in renewable resources and recycled materials!  Bamboosa has both of these in their products.  I love that they are socially responsible and are thinking about the future.

When I received a  package of bibs as a baby gift, I thought, what am I going to need 10 bibs for?   Silly me, still learning about babies.  I used to used about 4 or 5 bibs a day, until I got my Mally Bib, now I DO just need one bib.

Mally Bibs was created by a Mom – surprised? (I don’t think so) Nicole Garza, was feeding her daughter with a cloth bib, when some of the food landed on her daughters leather shoe,  Nicole simply had to wipe away the mess and voila, Mally Bibs was born. I dealt with Robyn at Mally Bibs and just a week later, my precious package arrived in the mail.  Robyn was very friendly and easy to do business with.

Mally Bibs are made out of leather, so they are easy to clean, and ready to go over and over again.  My Mally Bib has been used many times, and looks just as new as the day we first received it.  I do not have a need for any other bibs.  I keep it hooked onto the cabinet drawer after I clean it off and it’s ready and waiting for the next feeding. 

This bib does not leak onto clothes – at all.  The thick leather keeps all the spit up, peas and carrots on the bib and not on any of my daughter’s clothing.  The generous size of the bib covers from her shoulders all the way down past her tummy.  This bib is also reversible – the front side is a beautiful daisy pattern and the back is a fun pink with a little “catch all” pouch!  Whichever side you want to put on your child, they are sure to look very sophisticated in their Mally Bib.  There are so many great designs to pick from!

A feature that I have yet to see in a bib is that the Mally Bibs fastens by a strong magnet.  This makes putting it on and off a breeze.  The magnet is very strong, but my daughter who is just learning her own strength likes to pull and tug on the bib as hard as she can to see if she can yank it off.  And she can!  It’s great to watch her learn.  The first time I put it on her it was like a new toy – I take off the bib, Mom puts it back on!  After the initial excitement of her being able to pull the bib off, she left it alone.  Now, every time I put it on her, she pulls it off once or twice, and then leaves it alone.  She is just making sure she is still strong enough to do this.  Aren’t kids something?!?

I just  love our leather Mally Bib, there is no other bib like it.  I am so serious when I say,  you will only need ONE bib if you purchase this.  That’s right, only 1.  You will be very happy with your purchase and will be the envy of all your friends with such a fabulous taste in bibs, you child will be the most fashionable in your baby group!

Mally Bibs will even custom make a bib for you if you can’t find the perfect one on their site. Their bibs come in sizes baby or toddler, so make sure you get the right size for you little one.  Mally Bibs would make a really great shower gift!  Rather than giving someone 10 bibs that they have to put in the laundry and wash, the Mally Bib will save them time and energy – literally.

The Mally Bib that I received was Made in Canada – Yeah Canada!  My husband also wanted me to quote him saying, “This is the best thing that we have received so far!”
