Timi and Leslie Diaper Bags

We have all been there as a mom. You can't find the right clothes, you are consumed by being a mom and on top of that you have to drag a diaper bag anywhere you go! Most diaper bags are not designed for the trendy mom. I have seen ones with Winnie the Pooh on it. Really, that's cute for the baby, but not for mom. Why compromise, if you can have a diaper bag designed by Timi and Leslie. Great looking bags, with all the things you need from a diaper bag.

Timi and Leslie was created by a woman who could nit find the right diaper bag for a friend and she decided to create one herself. That bag was such an success and it let her to creating the company.

In 2005, Women’s Wear Daily named TIMI & LESLIE number two on a list of those who have made a difference in the children’s business in the past 20 years. Sold throughout the U.S. and internationally at stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Giggle and buybuy BABY, Leslie pioneered the stylish yet functional diaper bag movement. With celebrity fans that include Angelina Jolie, Cindy Crawford, Courtney Cox Arquette, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba and Jack Black, TIMI & LESLIE bags are the choice of parents who know luxurious style, practical function and great quality.

Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge

What is Brighter Planet’s 350 Challenge, exactly?

The 350 Challenge is a small way to show your support to fight climate change. The more bloggers that get our badge, the better. Thousands of readers will know that the climate movement is spreading far beyond the typical “environmental” realm and into the norm.
Who is Brighter Planet?

Brighter Planet helps people like you measure, reduce and offset their carbon footprints. We are committed to demonstrating that small, day-to-day actions can make a huge difference for the environment.
What affiliation do you have with 350.org?

Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge is inspired by Bill McKibben’s awareness campaign about the importance of the number 350, the parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere that we must aim for if we want to keep the planet relatively safe. Bill is on our advisory board and the 350 crew are some of our dearest friends from Middlebury College. The 350 Challenge is a way that we can help bloggers spread the word. To learn more, listen to the podcast about the 350 campaign that we did with Bill.
Why carbon offsets?

Carbon offsets play a crucial role in building a sustainable society. Many renewable energy projects are well suited to produce energy and meet stringent standards, but lack sufficient financing. Carbon offsets fill that void by investing in these projects.
What kind of offset projects are you supporting?

Our renewable energy projects in communities across the U.S. decrease our national dependence on carbon-emitting “dirty” energy sources like coal burning power plants. Some are wind power in public school districts or open lands and others are cow power on family farms. They all meet Brighter Planet’s stringent project standards. Learn more about our projects…
Who is paying for these offsets?

Brighter Planet purchases and donates the 350 pounds of offsets for every participant in the 350 Challenge. We feel that's a small price to pay to help generate awareness for the fight against climate change.Brighter Planet's 350 Challenge

SILX silk filled Comforters, Pillows and Mattress covers

According to Chinese legend, silk was discovered in 3,000 BC by Lady His-Ling-Shi, wife of Emperor Huang Ti, when a silkworm cocoon accidentally dropped into her hot tea. Fine threads from the cocoon unraveled in the hot water and silk was discovered.

Initially, silk was only used for the emperor and highest of dignitaries. Eventually noble and rich Roman and Greek families sought out this rare textile and the Silk Road to Europe was created to support the commerce. For centuries, silk was as valuable as gold and often used as currency in international trade.

The Chinese tightly guarded the secret of silk for over 2,000 years. Revealing the secret or smuggling silk worms, eggs or cocoons outside of China was punishable by death.

Today, silk continues to be a sought after luxury. SILX brings you the finest quality silk manufactured.

How Silk is Made

The silkworms that spin our silk are fed only pure mulberry leaves. The silk filling is made of hundreds of very thin hand-stretched layers of pure silk – this creates a uniform and strong but still lightweight layer of silk that will not migrate, bunch, separate, or break down over time. This construction is what creates the gentle, lightweight drape and uniform warmth characteristic of all SILX products.
Silk Facts

Silk is 100% hypoallergenic, and is a naturally inhospitable environment for dust mites. Therefore, silk can be a perfect choice for those with allergies, and an especially good choice for babies and children whose allergies may not be known early on. In addition, because silk is moisture resistant, any allergies to mold, mildew, or other spores can also be avoided.

Silk retains much less moisture than other textiles, and is resistant to mildew and dankness because of this quality. Silk has been used by royalty and other privileged persons in Asia and other regions for thousands of years because of its longevity, comfort, and luxury. Because of this moisture and mildew resistance, silk is an excellent choice for more humid climates or homes near the coast.

Silk is an exceptionally temperate fiber, meaning that it retains warmth from the body, but without retaining moisture, which provides for a much more dry and comfortable warmth. The effective, uniform drape of SILX silk prevents cold spots. Silk provides about the same level of warmth as down, but at about half the weight, and without the dampness and consequent heaviness that can be common of both down and cotton.

Kid friendly NY

I love New York City and have visit the city numerous times. The last two times I was in the city I traveled with young kids. Some might think a big city is not for kids. I must disagree. I believe NY is great with and for kids. The constant energy and the many things you can do with the kids is amazing, but sometimes it is hard to find your way to the nearest playground or that kid friendly restaurant that is also known for quality food. Now there is an App for that. The new iPhone app called Ikidny has all the answer at your finger tips. It locates all the places you need when roaming through the city with kids, such as the nearest restroom with a changing table or that playground you need because your kid needs to run around for awhile. The App only costs $2.99 and they plan to create more apps for other cities. I know I will get this one the next time I will visit New York City.

A new year

We haven't really posted a lot of blogs lately and we apologies. It's a new year with new possibilities and ideas and products. We are currently expanding our online eBay listings and are adding new strollers to our store. We hope we finally can launch our own baby/ toddler clothing line this summer. We are working hard on all the details and designs.
With new technology ( Iphone) we hope to be able blog more and keep you in the loop of all that is going on in the baby products world. Thanks for your support!

How not to hide Christmas presents

I have been steadily collecting presents for Christmas. Having the opportunity to buy things is not the problem. Getting them in the house is another story. I have bags hiding everywhere. I had the opportunity to get some groceries without Luna and found a Princess Barbie Doll for a great price. I left it unwrapped in the trunk.

This morning i loaded the recycling bin into the trunk and did not think of the Barbie. While I was getting the last stuff from the house Luna had found the Barbie. She was holding it triumphantly in the air and had a big smile on her face. I explained she was not suppose to find the Barbie.

Her answer " That's alright mom I already forgot about it and I will just think I want a truck and not a Barbie." Well that's easier said then done. The whole day she is asking about that present she is not suppose to ask about. According to her she is not asking, but just reminding me.

I hope I do better with the other presents this year!

How to life greener

Lately there are so many ways to life a bit greener. Most items come in environmental friendly substitute. At www.LighterSaferGreener.com you can now buy glasses made using recycled water and environmentally friendly packaging.

Here at our house we use energy saving lights. We have the airco on at 82 degrees during the summer. We have fans in every room to help circulate the air. We recycle glass, plastic and paper. We use our green left overs and table scraps to make compost. Now that our son just turned one I want to get a bike seat and bike my daughter to school instead of taking the car all the time.

We use reusable bottles to take with us on trips and bring our own grocery bags to the store.

One of the biggest improvements in our life is joining a local CSA. We now grow our own vegetables and work in the garden every Saturday morning. It is wonderful to taste natural grown vegetables every day.

Bare Skin

I am a big fan of Bare Escentuals. Now Leslie Blodgett came up with a brand new perfume line named Bare Skin. It is available at Sephora.

"Imagine you're on a beach. The warm rays are beating down on you. There is nothing on the agenda for days, save for sunbathing and sleeping in. Leslie Blodgett has captured the ultimate vacation through fragrance with this intoxicating blend of creamy sensuality, dreamy florals and sexy musks. Glowing, gorgeous sun-kissed skin that just begs to be touched is at the heart of this limited-edition scent, created exclusively for Sephora.

Notes:
Top: No clock in sight and no reason to wake up (Black Pepper, Freesia, Anise).
Middle: Hot, hot hopping to the towel on sand (Iris, Vanilla Orchid, Plumeria, Patchouli).
Bottom: Finally, time to mingle, baring amber shoulders still warm from the day (Sandalwood, Labdanum, Musk). "

“Where Is the Heart of Your Home?”

This question was asked by Twittermoms.
I wish I could say our heart of the home is in our large kitchen with bar or updated dining room with table that seats 8, but that is not happening. We live in a small (900 sq ft) house, which was fine when it was just my husband and me. No several years later with 2 kids it is a bit crowded. We have been planning an expansion for 4 years now, but one thing happens after the other and we are still not there.

So back to the question, if it is not the kitchen or dining room what room is it? Well that will be the living room. This is where we eat, watch TV, read, play with toys or play games on the WII. My baby boy's changing area is on top of the dresser in the living room. We also keep all his clothes, diapers and more in that same dresser. Our house might be small, but is filled with love and that is what matters.

Tell your story and you can win brand new appliances from Samsung Home appliances.

Sneaking Fruits & Veggies

My eye caught this contest on Twittermoms.

They question is how do you sneak in fruit and veggies. I have two great kids, who both will eat almost everything. My little one ate almost all blended baby food. He just is not keen on sweet peas. My daughter was the same. I blend fresh fruit with yogurt and oatmeal, which he loves. I also told my 4 year old daughter that when you mix up your veggies with the rest of the food it will all taste good. Fortunately she believes me and now is convinced that eating veggies is great.

We also are part of a community garden and I think that seeing all the vegetables grow and realize how much work is made her appreciate the vegetables even more!

Little Blends from Horizon and Twittermoms give away prizes to the first 100 bloggers. Visit Twittermoms for more info on the contest.
