Slinky Bracelets

Blast from the past, anyone? Stretch Bracelets are making a hit comeback! (Truthfully, all I remember about these digits is winning bright neon round versions with my arcade tickets. Plus, how they would painfully catch on my arm hair!). But now I'm kind of eyeing the orange one... perfect for Sundays at the beach, paired a bathing suit, t-shirt dress, and flip flops. Honestly, since becoming a mom, I have a weakness for cheap plastic jewelry - it's something for little hands to fiddle with. :)

Summer Baby Giveaway!

Today's giveaway is from Shan and Toad, a charming childrenswear boutique in Jerusalem, Israel. I posted about Shan and Toad here when I had first heard about their launch, and they have since been featuring the most chic and fashion-forward childrens collections. They have enchanting baby clothes, unique and casual boyswear, beautiful dresses you won't see on every other girl, accessories, and just about everything for a full-on wardrobe from designers like Little Marc Jacobs, LA Made, Anne Valerie Hash, and Jo-Lu.

They are now holding a Freidafroo giveaway; 3 lucky readers will win a summer baby body suit from Bobo Choses ($36)! I'm totally eyeing that Ice Pop Body - could just see Hudi living in that this Summer; lazy Sunday picnics at the park, long days at the beach, or that Bicycle Body on early morning rides to the Farmers Market...!

For a chance to win please visit Shan and Toad and leave a comment on the Freidafroo Facebook page. A winner will be chosen at random on Monday.  Good Luck!!

* Winners are comment #6: Chaya Witkes, comment #11: Shira Emmer, and comment #19: Dovid Shayna Toledo! Congrats Ladies, thanks for playing everyone!! xx

Calling Mommies & Babies!

I posted previously about Babyccino when I was first launching the Monday morning "Mommy & Me". Now that we're starting up our 3rd series, I figured I'd let you all in on how it's been going...

The whole concept of getting together with local fellow mothers was really at the crux of the entire birth of Babyccino. The women in this community wanted a time and place where they can all get together, provide some interactive time for their children, while sharing motherhood with other women, and catching up with friends...

I figured I'd share these photos with you and hopefully inspire those of you in other communities to start up something of this nature as well. Having recently given birth, I'm constantly reminded of the dire need a new mother has to interact with other moms and simply get out of the house. It can be as simple as getting a few ladies together in a living room to share a pot of coffee while the kids play with toys on the rug! The point is to get out with your baby, meet with other mothers, and share the many trial and error stories of motherhood as well as share the many laughs that come along with raising children. Not to mention knowing your kids are benefitting from a social morning out along the way!

I also want to give you local women who haven't yet made the trek out to check it out a little kick in the pants! :) Come and join us for this next series as we help the little ones explore and discover the living world around them through 8 growth-themed Spring sessions! Come for the coffee; stay for the fun! Sharing motherhood is one of those things that really are priceless...

Also, I wanted to give a huge shout-out of thanks to all attending moms who have seriously made this whole experiment super-fun and successful!! Thank you all for joining in and bringing along your adorable and smart little people each week!! This could never have happened without you!

Paperless Post

Yesterday, while working on a Babyccino birthday, I was deciding how to go about creating an online invitation, and discovered the very beautiful and enchanting world of Paperless Post. I landed there thanks to an invite I received via email a while ago (thanks Atara!!)  featuring the cutest, not-at-all cheesy firetruck! While I was never very keen on using Evite, the immense simplicity and practicality of a site like that was much too attractive to pass up - even though their awful invite designs make almost everyone nauseous. Well, there's now a cure - the folks over at Paperless Post have seriously delivered!!! A wonderfully designed website, a genius method of purchase, classy and tactful function - all wrapped up with a slew of insanely beautiful invitations!!

Not only is the art just breathtaking, but the variety of formats are a breath of fresh air! Check out the paper texture in these e-cards:

Plus, somehow they manage to make even the most basic party themes chic and gorgeous!! Robot party anyone? Red balloon? Aren't they just adorable??

I'm so looking forward to my next party!! :)
