Everyone seems to be going gaga over this crib mattress - the Pebble by Sleep Nook. Yes, the colors are hotness, and the design is superfluously eye-pleasing. But just read the write-up and weep...
(It sounds like we are raising aliens: "The removable surface layer of the Nook Pebble mattress employs a patented asymmetrical design and nano-level technology to maximize breathability. Air flows in valleys between pebbles creating an oxygen-rich crib environment while surface fibers with nano-technology prevent liquids from seeping into the mattress for easy-wipe clean up." Nano what what?)
I happen to be one to cave for excessive features and bells and whistles... but this? Yeah, I loosened the baby budget belt a bit and went for an all-organic-fiber crib mattress (allergies are genetic!), but seriously who markets a mattress for $550? It's a mattress. And all that funky design (I'll give credit where it's due) will be covered up by the crib sheet!
P.S. If you're still feeling the love - buy the pebble wrap and cover your own baby mattress. : )
I meant to post about these a little while back... after Freida's self-weaning episode. When the reality of an end to the breast-feeding days hit me, I realized I had to transition my little suckler onto bottles (after seeing that going straight to a sippy cup of milk didn't have the same relaxing effect I still felt she needed). Remembering my baby gear "essentials" shopping list, I opened up my storage boxes labeled "newborn", and happily rummaged through things a bit until I pulled out my Weego glass baby bottles. I was so glad to finally put them to use!
These bottles seriously kick! The borosilicate glass (aside from being much more sanitary than plastic) is completely shock proof, enabling it to go from freezing (food/breast milk storage) to boiling (sanitizing). The silicone sleeve makes it easy to grip, hard to break (never mind super good looking)! You can buy airtight plugs (for freezer storage), and solid baby bottle caps - turning your baby bottle into a chic little beverage bottle (perfect sized for my purse)!

Wanted to share an awesome "flash sale" website with all my readers. Geared towards the Mom race, Totsy offers brand-name kids clothing, toys, gear, and mom-goods at ridiculously reduced prices! Attempting to remain exclusive and not be tainted by an overdose of popularity (which would result in sell-outs before the first hour of sale), Totsy tried to remain an invitation-only website for a while, but membership can be requested now. All FreidaFroo readers can enter the Totsy-hood by clicking on the (linked) icon above. Happy thrifting, ladies!
Beginning this month, the folks over at Bugaboo are bringing forth a new special edition Bugaboo Black. I think it's super posh - from the playground to the party (the cocktail party, that is).
Bugaboo Black (special edition)
I thought the black titanium was super hot ever since they featured the Marc Jacobs Bugaboo collaboration last year. Nice of them to bring the ebony option to the masses (relatively...).
How horrible is this commercial?! Thankfully it was rejected by ABC for having the word "pooping" in it (I'd reject it for many more reasons).
But these jean diapers are pretty darn cute! Nicely timed for the warmer weather...

(I feel I must admit though, I'm really quite the Pampers activist. Cruisers, baby!)
