Jeeto: Your Child's Very Own Warning Label

As a child, I was allergic to everything. My mom and I had to monitor everything that went in my mouth for fear it would send me into a severe allergic reation. When I had the boys, they had to follow a strict diet for their first three years to try to minimize the chances of them developing similar allergies.

Jeeto has created a collection of tees and accessories for moms of kids with allergies. Their "allergy collection" includes shirts, patches, and stickers that declare your child to be "gluten free", "dairy free", "egg free" and it can't get clearer than "no peanuts please".

No more notes and advance phone calls to warn parents on field trips and birtday parties. Now your child can come with their very own warning label!

The "Ginger" style is a wide legged trouser style that sits on the hips and skims the thigh before loosening to create an ultra wide leg opening. Each pair is perfectly proportioned to fit a woman's curves. Available at "Seven For All Mankind" at $143.

With Valentine's Day upon us, my husband and I are having one of our rare nights out. A night that doesn't involve a restaurant that stocks coloring books and crayons. Since we don't frequently use a nighttime babysitter, I have a new list to make.

They have lots of other pads to make your life easier including the "All out of" preprinted grocery list, "Do your chores", and "Checklist for leaving the house".

Until Kara: Simple Oranic Burp Cloths

When I started shopping for my first baby, I collected all those "must have" lists and one of the items that confused me was the requisite cloth diapers. I was going to use disposable, why would I need cloth diapers?

As a new mom, I quickly found out how indespensible a simple pack of cloth diapers can be. They were perfect for quick cleanups, tossing over my shoulder for burp time, and pretty much every icky job you can imagine. They weren't pretty, but they sure got the job done.

We had two options when we bought our pack - Gerbers blue and Gerbers white.
