If you are finding this question hard to answer, you are not alone. As the saying goes – “Petunia Pickle Bottom: The original, collectible, fashionable, diaper bag.” With strong designs this fall, oh how easy it will be to pick up a new bag (or two) to add to your collection. Perhaps it’s the scrumptious Chocolate Decadence Cake Clutch with its melt-in-your-mouth velvet detailing. Or if a bolder modern look is more your flavor, indulge in Dancing in Dublin Boxy Backpack. Its chic Euro styling paired with Petunia’s sleek and functional glazed exterior has this bag sky rocketing to best seller status. And who isn’t wild about Scout? Their rugged Rubicon Rucksak (say that three times fast) was reviewed as the “Best Daddy Bag” by Babble.com, so you know this bag is the crème de le crème and chicest of the chic – daddy-wise of course. Petunia my dear, you’ve done it again.

With the seasons beginning to change and the time of day not so easy to predict by the amount of light outside, we welcome these adorable new table clock designs by Timeworks.

Maybe clock-watching isn’t such a bad thing…

It doesn’t seem possible that it’s already time to consider school books and backpacks again. But alas, for some of us it is. So why not start this fall session off right and pick up a snazzy new Fleurville Lunch Buddie or Lunch Pak? One less thing on your list to do! Fleurville products are as durable as always and still winning over hearts of celebs and their tots with their youthful urban chic patterns and functionality. As we have come to expect from this dependable line, this year’s fall designs are fresh and inviting with a bit of a fun twist. Grade school boys can enjoy a camo or skeleton pattern, whereas the girls get a cheery stripe. Little ones just starting their school careers will find the Lunch Pak’s backpack capabilities to be user friendly and just their size. Boys this age can show some international flair with a soccer inspired flag motif or camo pattern, and the girls can enjoy stripes or a groovy floral. Our futures have never looked so bright!

On the heels of America’s birthday you may find yourself swamped with birthday invites or planning your own party of another kind – a children’s birthday party! Kids make things more festive and summer is a great time to have fun with color regardless of theme. Here are a few fun ways to make your bash an original.

	Arguably THE stand-out must-have item is a retro inspired birthday party hat with a new twist. Feathers, sparkles and embroidered personalization make your birthday star shine like no other.
	Decorating details such as chic disposable patterned placemats can liven up a table with minimal effort and minimal cost.
	Cake Stands with changeable woven ribbon and a festive flatware caddy help you organize with style. You’ll find yourself pulling these out for many occasions to come – an entertaining staple.
	And while you’re acting as “hostess extraordinaire”, a flirty apron is a must… the kids don’t have to have all the fun. And a colorful ruffled apron can dress up comfy running shoes and yoga pants you might be tempted to wear while dashing about.
	For the littlest birthday stars, consider a high chair cover to dress up your gear for the occasion. Easily washable and usable again and again, even as a shopping cart cover.
	And how could anyone forget the beloved birthday outfit ensemble? Two novel best-sellers being a pettiskirt and tank combo, and these darling monogrammed moccasins. Both eye catching and special, yet comfortable enough to keep your little star aglow for hours.

After all, a happy birthday makes a happy Mommy!

As our options for clever, quality and uniquely themed baby products expand by the millisecond, so does our indecisiveness as to what to buy for that special baby gift. Some products are tried and true staples, and others are brand spanking new and flying off the shelves. Time to share the wealth.

Whether this summer holds a vacation or stay-cation in the cards for you, enjoy these fun bits that celebrate the season and the joys it will bring.

• Summertime = breakfast outside on the patio! Minimal clean up is involved and everyone will appreciate the change in scenery.
• Dandelions are fun for the whole family and make for priceless pictures.
• Dryer sheets are an effective and portable mosquito replant. Keep a few sheets in your purse for instant relief
• Holding hands while crossing the street or in a parking lot can be a game too – see who can keep Mom “the most safe”.
• A kiddie pool could be the best summer stay-cation investment ever.
• If you find you are suddenly developing a backache or shoulder pain – time to empty out your purse! Dye cast toy cars can be incredibly heavy in large quantities.

This line just keeps getting better and better with each clever new pattern and color pallet that gets introduced. A fresh L.A. based design duo of two sisters, Jessica and Rachel (hence the capital R in Baby JaR), who wanted to create fun and functional products are who we have to thank for these lively burp cloths, bibs, and blankets. And although their patterns are stand out, it’s the details that really make the difference with each Baby JaR product. Delight in the unique trim and soft to the touch fabrics. And for a product that can be a bit of a challenge to find, Baby JaR’s receiving blankets are some of the most creative and adorable around. Even if bold patterns are normally not your thing, Baby JaR has a smart way of softening the look with complimentary soft solid colors that not only work to tone down the look but allow you to coordinate with so much more. Baby JaR – charming Mom’s across the country and back again!

Little girls playing dress up – super adorable, right? If they could wear tutus and princess gowns out and about every day they would, but the quality of most “costumes” leaves a lot to be desired (not to mention that most fall apart after a few weeks use). So for moms of budding little fashionistas everywhere, we’ve introduced a stunning new line of pettiskirts and matching tanks that you MUST check out. Forget about stiff tulle “play” tutus, these pettiskirts are made from soft chiffon – yards and yards of deliciously frilly ruffles and layers that they can dance, prance and strut their stuff in. Paired together, the embellished tanks and pettiskirts are perfect for flower girl outfits, birthday celebrations and special family portraits. Afterwards your sassy cutie can mix each item in with her regular wardrobe of leggings, sneakers and sweaters to showcase her unique style.
