Discount shoes and handbags at 6pm.com

December 2, 2008

Dur­ing my visit to the US, I spent quite a bit of time search­ing for the best deal on kid’s shoes for my lit­tle guy.  After a week of price com­par­ing, I decided to take a chance on a site I’d never heard of, 6pm.com.  I ordered a cou­ple pairs of tod­dler shoes at 60% […]

Odenwaelder Babynest

November 16, 2008

Last year while in DC over the Christ­mas hol­i­days, we received a lot of com­ments on how warm and snug­gly Oliver looked in his stroller bag.  The stroller bag is a pretty com­mon thing in Ger­many and the rest of Europe, so I thought I’d intro­duce you to the com­pany that pro­duces the baby stroller […]

Anna und Paul Soft-Sole Baby Shoes

November 11, 2008

Anna und Paul are slightly cooler, soft-soled, first-steps shoes.  They’re also slightly cheaper than Robeez, but still great qual­ity.  There’s a Ger­man web­site that also ships out­side of Ger­many, but requires a bank trans­fer before ship­ment.  The Eng­lish web­site exists, but I had some trou­ble nav­i­gat­ing it, it kept kick­ing me over to the German site.

Pedipeds Shoes - Review and Giveaway!

October 28, 2008

Until he was get­ting around on his feet rather than his knees, my son only wore shoes on spe­cial occa­sions. In fact, he’s the only bare­foot raga­muf­fin in our big fam­ily photo from last Christ­mas. Appar­ently his cousins have more refined sar­to­r­ial tastes. But once he started cruis­ing, I saw why my friends sang the […]

Books for kids: the Maisy series

September 26, 2008

I’m not sure how we dis­cov­ered the Maisy books by Lucy Cousins, I was prob­a­bly just brows­ing Amazon.co.uk, but some­how I ran across the Maisy mouse series of books and ordered one.  Oliver just loves them.  The lift-the-flap books are made of seem­ingly very light­weight card­board, but are sturdy enough to han­dle tod­dler abuse without […]

The Snack Trap

September 18, 2008

When my son started eat­ing fin­ger foods on the go, I looked for some­thing to make my life eas­ier. The last thing I wanted was to be pick­ing blue­ber­ries out of the stroller seat or from between the seats in the car. On a casual trip to Babies R Us, I dis­cov­ered The Snack Trap.  The […]

Crayon Rocks rock our world!

September 14, 2008

Not so long ago, my mom pur­chased The Boy some Crayon Rocks. I admit to plant­ing the seed after see­ing them on another blog, and they are won­der­ful. For young hands, they are eas­ier to hold, encour­age the tri­pod hold for older chil­dren, and color beau­ti­fully. Crayon rocks are made of soy wax and minerals. […]

See Kai Run shoes

August 30, 2008

So far, my favorite shoes are by See Kai Run. They’re styl­ish, soft, flex­i­ble, and with the cur­rent dollar/euro exchange rate, a lot more afford­able than the brands sold here in Ger­many. The story of the found­ing of the com­pany, from their web­site: Kai is the son of own­ers and founders, Cause Haun and Gang […]

Not So Good Stuff: Bino Wobbly Stacker

August 12, 2008

I really, really wanted to be able to write a great review for this Czech-produced wooden Wob­bly Stack­ing Pyra­mid by Bino World of Toys, but that’s not going to be pos­si­ble. We bought this from a local fur­ni­ture store and it was the first stacker I’d seen that I really liked. Unfor­tu­nately, after get­ting it […]

Good Stuff: Sack-N-Seat

August 5, 2008

At eigh­teen months, my son is just big enough to sit up to the table in a nor­mal chair, but way too wig­gly to stay there for long. We use his high chair at home, but I’m too busy try­ing to stash his extra stuffed giraffe and some clean under­wear in our lug­gage to imagine […]
