Who says girls can’t be super heroes? Even the most girlie of girls will enjoy saving the day in this cute cape from Ellie Bellie. Granted, an old towel or sheet can be just as much fun, but this custom-made cape, which comes in your choice of heart, star, or lightening bolt design, makes super hero status a bit more official. The fun accessory is machine washable, and closes with a magnet, so there are no ties or pins to fuss with. You can purchase one of these great little capes for $30 at jujubeaneboutique.com.

I love the hip styling of this Chocolate Mod Rodeo Drive Tote Diaper Bag by Amy Michelle. I’m afraid I’m done buying diaper bags, but this great crossover tote sure is tempting, especially since it is currently on sale. I love the combination of browns and slate blue. Like most diaper bags these days, this one has pockets for everything a busy mom needs–diapers, cell phone, keys, etc. You can purchase one for $58.50 (down from $65) at jujubeaneboutique.com.

These gorgeous fur bootz by ministar are in a rich chocolate brown and are approved by the American Medical Podiatric Association for babies’ feet.

This Monogrammed Bib & Burpie Set by One Little Birdie features one of my favorite color combinations: chocolate brown and pink. Specializing in personalized baby gifts, One Little Birdie was started by a stay-at-home mom of two, who hand-sews and personalizes each gift. Reasonably priced at $15, this set would be the perfect gift for a new parent or even a great holiday gift for a new little one’s first holiday season. You can purchase the set at OneLittleBirdie.com.

All of a sudden I am finding the best boys shoes all over the place. I think I’m seeing more great shoes for boys than girls. I guess that is only fair since there are so many more clothing options for girls! I love the look of these bright blue and brown Rileyroos. They are made of soft leather and look very comfortable. Designed for little ones from 3-24 months, they are perfect for new walkers. They look like they’ll hide soil well, too–something I can’t say for most shoes for girls. You can purchase a pair on sale for $24 at tinysoles.com

Here’s a great last minute Easter basket idea. I discovered these on the shelf at the store and fell in love with them. They look just like rubber duckies, but they are made of white chocolate. No word yet on how they taste, but our kids will each be getting one in their baskets this year. They are almost to cute to eat. It is likely too late to purchase online, but they are available in stores. I bought mine at CVS for .99 each. If you want to risk an online order, you can purchase one for $1.30 at BlairCandy.com. They’d be fun for other occasions, too.

Here are some adorable booties that will definitely make your baby’s feet look good enough to snack on. These Chocolate Pistachio handmade booties by Amy Joyner are crocheted from a soft cotton blend yarn in a beautiful combination of colors. I absolutely love the pistachio green paired with the touch of chocolate brown, and finished off with the little side button. They come in two sizes (0-6 months, and 6-12 months) and are also available in other scrumptious colors like Organic Creamsicle, though the Chocolate Pistachio design is my personal favorite. You can buy a pair of these soft booties for $18 at craftsburykids.com.

Now here’s something totally different — a round Truffle Blanket by Babero that is truly one of a kind. It has a vanilla colored soft fuzzy swirl side and a brown satin backside with a brown satin ruffle trim edge. It measures 10″ in diameter. Just looking at the picture above you can “feel” how luxurious this Vanilla & Chocolate Truffle Blanket would be for baby. She’ll be fingering the fuzzy swirl side and rubbing the satin borders on her cheeks. Babies are very tactile and this blanket offers texture and silkiness.

Visit  bestdressedkids.com to view this item which is priced at just $16. You might consider this as a baby shower gift too since it’s a little unusual in design and looks so luxurious. It’s sure to be appreciated.

Bonding between parent and child is so important. Your child will become accustomed to and even conditioned to your familiar scent which gives him a sense of security. It’s one of the most basic human instincts that we should be mindful of, especially when your child is away from you for extended periods of time.

This Bonding Doll Minkee in Chocolate by Twinkle Baby would be such a comfort to preschool children who attend day care. Most day cares will allow for a personal item to be brought in with the child for nap time, and this doll would be ideal. Mom and Dad simply sleep with the bonding doll close to them for 2-3 days and then baby will feel a sense of security when snuggling with the doll and recognizing his parents’ familiar scents.

Made of Minkee (plush polyester) fabric, the Bonding Doll is available in orange, blue, pink and chocolate (above). It costs $19.50 at KangarooBoo.
