Aren’t these the coolest baby rompers you’ve ever seen? They are from PersonalCreations.com and can be customized for the baby. We just love that they’re a bit different than the traditional romper but still feature snap convenience and are available in size 12, 18 and 24 months. Mother’s will love this gift for Mother’s Day! This site has gifts moms love!

We have reviewed a lot of baby swingsthis past month…and we have our favorite. The Fisher-Price Snugabunny! Outside of your arms, we think its the perfect place to be from birth until baby can climb out (or 25 pounds!). It is smooth, quiet…and babies love it.

It Soothes
• Soothing music and alternate swinging motions help calm baby and promotes a sense of security.
• Plush fabrics enhance baby’s sense of security by providing comfort.
• Seeing baby’s own image in the mirror encourages self-recognition, enhancing emotional development.

It Engages
• Seeing baby’s own reflection and other objects in mirrored globe stimulates baby’s visual sense.
• Rich fabrics and textures stimulate baby’s tactile sense.
• Watching and anticipating motion of birdies fosters overhead visual tracking skills.
• Listening to nature sounds as well as musical selections strengthens auditory skills.

It’s Perfect for Mom

• Choice of three positions in one swing—variety for baby and convenience when you want baby facing you!
• Easy to convert from one position to another.
• Folds for storage and portability.
• Plug-in option saves money on batteries!

AND…it looks cute! We are quite simply in love with this baby swing.

Spring is in the air here in Dallas…and we are freshening up our home for the new season. We were delighted to receive a luxe and delicious-smelling candle from Archipelago. The scent is Lemmongrass, and it is part of their AB Home collection of candles. Their hand-poured Lemmongrass soy candle contains more than 70% natural soy wax, which burns longer and cleaner than regular candles! In fact, the approximate burn time is 90 hours. And we are glad–because the smell is brightening our mood, too! Check out the Archipelago candle collection.

Mr. Alist is a brilliant conversationalist! He is wise, witty and a great listener in person….but when we are apart, he prefers texting to talking on the phone! Mr. Alist turns into Mr. Caveman when I try to talk to him on the phone! Thank goodness for the UNLIMITED texts I get with U.S. Cellular! Mr. Alist and I can text all day and trade photos. (Like photos of Balboa Island when I am boating with my nephews and niece!) This is extremely nice when we’re traveling and away from each other and we can trade sweet notes and little snapshots with one another.  This was especially helpful when I was visiting my mom this past summer and fall. It was nice to get a picture to see how things were going at home, and I could keep him updated with pictures of everyone out in California. It’s the little things in life that sometimes make all the big differences. I’m a happy U.S. Cellular customer, and I’m not alone. They have the highest satisfaction rating of any national carrier. If you want to know more about why I chose them, visit their website. Or you can like them on Facebook to receive special offers on new phones.

Do you remember back in the 1980′s, when mom’s carried around “diaper bags” in pastel colors with teddy bears on them? The teddy bears were usually holding a bouquet of pastel balloons. Well, I am glad we have moved past that! Baby Bags are arguably the most essential accessory purchase for moms-to-be. We all know you carry them EVERYWHERE, so they have to be good. We love these fab four choices, all from Saks. From left to right: Armani, Burberry, Kate Spade and Gucci.

Beyonce and Jay Z’s precious baby girl, Blue Ivy, is sure to be the most fashionable tot in Manhattan. We think her coming out dress should be this $165 frock from Burberry. What do you think?

Long hair is so pretty on little girls…but many dislike having their hair brushed! Especially when there are tangles. The Knot Genie™ detangling brush was created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping that comes with brushing their child’s hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. You gotta love that!

We are so over plastic food containers. I truly believe heating up plastic in the microwave inserts hazardous chemicals into our food. Now that cancer has affected our family, I am becoming very weary of chemicals. One resolution we will keep in 2012 is freezing our food in glass containers, like these from Wean Green. They have little, tiny ones perfect for baby food! And we also checked out the sandwich-sized containers, too. We love how the tops snap on easily–and they can be removed before you place the containers in the microwave.

Hello Ladies! I stopped by Sears today and picked up the cutest new accessories from Kardashian Kollection. I am just loving my new handbag and leopard heels. I feel like leopard is a neutral this winter…it goes with everything. I will be wearing these accessories during our jaunt to Colorado after Christmas.  I got both the shoes and the handbag for under $75, which is a TOTAL STEAL! And I will be completing the look with a red cashmere sweater, which at $215 was a TOTAL SPLURGE. But accessories make the outfit, and I am excited to spice things up with these two new pieces. We think the Kardashian dolls hit it out of the park with this fun, on-trend Kollection. Well done, ladies! {No monetary compensation was provided by Sears or Glam Media for this post. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and are not indicative of the opinions or positions of Sears.}
