Cutiepieosaurus

Posted on by MommyQ

I’m not usually a big fan of plush dinosaurs, but this funny guy is oozing personality galore. Meet Sigikid Ankylosaurus Sweety Dinosaur. Standing 10 inches tall, he’s not ferocious at all. He’s really cuddly thanks to his soft microfiber outer fabric.

The TRex is actually my favorite, but he’s currently extinct out of stock. There’s something really funny about his big head, little arms and big feet. He kinda reminds me of an ex-boyfriend. Poor guy.
Shop Maukilo for lots of Sigikid creations.

The Learning Tower is Mommy’s REAL Little Helper

Posted on by MommyQ

As a child, I remember baking cookies with my mom. Why? It was the only time we had permission to stand on the chairs! We were too little to reach the sink and the counter. It was fun, but one of us usually took an accidental step off the chair, falling to the ground – and worse – spilling something messy. It kinda ruined the moment.

A few weeks ago the Rachel Ray show did a segment about Chef Guy Fieri’s kitchen, which lead to the mention of The Learning Tower. If you haven’t seen this clever step stool yet, check it out!

Whether your little “do it myself” one needs an extra step to wash hands or wants to help you bake a tasty batch of brownies, this tower is the perfect solution. And it can easily hold two children.

I love it because it fits flush against the counter and it has railings on all four sides to prevent falls. It also converts into other fun things like an art easel, playhouse or puppet house.

And best of all, because moms care, those bright pretty paint finishes are all lead-free. Blue, cherry, red, white, pink, green and so on.

If you’re looking for a special gift for the special youngsters in your life, The Learning Tower is a great idea. Retails for $185 at BabyEarth.

Tasty Boon Baby Gifts Under $10

Boon is a brand that puts the “oooooh” in baby products. When it comes to mealtime fun, it’s hard to beat the one-of-a-kind modern design Boon brings to the table. ‘Tis the season to start thinking about gift ideas and we all know shopping for small children can be difficult. If you’re looking for fun and functional goodies under $10, MommyQ thinks Boon will make you swoon.

#2 – The Snack Ball – How can a little orb with treats inside be so darn cute? I don’t know, but it is. Comes in orange and pink. $6.50

#3 – Squirt Food Dispensing Spoon – It may look a bit crazy, but most moms think it works like a charm. Two words come to mind, “less mess!” $8.00

#4 – ModWare Toddler Utensils – Have you ever seen such a funky fork & spoon? Do they make a set that serves 12? Comfort-grip handles, dishwasher safe and PVC free. $5.00

#5 – Catch Bowl – It’s like this bowl has a built-in mommy – a spill catcher. The special piece extends towards the child to make sure potentially runaway spills find their way back into the bowl. $7.00

(You can also find lots of other Boon goodies over $10 at BabyEarth. Just for fun, check out this $500 beauty, the Bloom Fresco High Chair. Who buys this anyway? Seriously, if you own this high chair, please let me know. I mean, really?)
