Sperry Top-Sider Shoes Offer Class & Comfort
Boys have a rough time when it comes to classy footwear. I mean, lets face it - most of the cute things these days are geared towards girls.
Stride Rite has a line of classy yet oh so practical shoes for boys. The Sperry Top-Sider shoes come in a wide range of styles perfect for your son. (Keep in mind, that if you do have a little girl at home, they have also have a cute line for girls!)
Some of my favorites for the boys include:
Ali Landry: "Must Have Products For Parents & Children"
Ever wonder which products celebrity moms can't live without? I know I do! With the best of the best at their fingertips, celebrity moms are usually in the know when it comes to hot products.
Actress Ali Landry, owner of the boutique children's clothing line Belle Parish, put together a list of her top "must have" items exclusively for Celebrity Baby Scoop! The Bella star compiled a few of her recommendations for parents, children and moms-to-be. We just spoke to Ali a couple of weeks ago in regards to her adorable clothing line and from what we've seen, this mama has excellent taste!
For Moms-to-be
- What To Expect When You Are Expecting by Heidi Murkoff - "I enjoyed reading this book so much when I was pregnant. I couldnt wait to read about how big she was, or what i should be expecting each month of my pregnancy."
- Mothers Special Blend Skin Toning Oil- "I used it religiously and it totally worked! No stretchmarks!"
- Momzee Jeans- "The best fitting, best looking jeans!"
For Moms:
Silikids: Silicone Must Haves For Your Children
With all the hype on BPAs and the toxicity in various baby bottles, most mothers are opting for glass instead of plastic.
Silikids has come up with some brilliant products including an entire line of Siliskins which protect glass bottles and cups. All the materials used are not only non toxic and hypoallergenic, they are also free of bisphenol-A, lead, PVC and phtalates!
One of their new products, the 6 oz. Siliskin glass, is perfect for toddlers who have graduated onto using the big kid's cups. It offers excellent grip, preventing slippage and protects against breaking glass. In the event that the glass does break, the silicone's extra protections keeps the glass inside the liner instead of all over your floors.

Tried, Tested & True: Stride Rite's Toddler Tech Shoes
The Toddler Tech shoes by Stride Rite are absolutely perfect for your active toddler. Just like all of Stride Rite's quality footwear, the Toddler Techs are made from high-quality materials for durability and comfort. They feature a flexible outsole and cushioned heel to absorb the shock from all the jumping and running those little feet encounter throughout the day.
Toddler Tech shoes are:
Lightweight: The soft full grain leather and nubuck uppers won't tire leg muscles during your child's active day.
Cushioning: The airbag in the heel provides maximum cushioning and shock absorption to help keep your toddlers feet comfortable
Flexible: Deep flex grooves provide the flexibility and lateral mobility that little feet need to navigate uneven terrain.
Non-marking: The rubber, non-scuffing outsole protects your floors from those pesky marks.
My daughter is much sturdier on her feet do to the high support system these shoes provide and I highly recommend them for parents with active toddlers.
Stride Rite also features a large celebrity following! Harlow Madden was just seen wearing a pair of Stride Rites while out and about with her mama Nicole Richie last week!

Tried, Tested & True: The kokopax Classic Carrier
As an avid baby-wearer, I'm not a big fan of the traditional framed carriers. When you are toting a growing baby around the house, excessive weight and bulkiness are the last thing you need in a carrier!
The kokopax classic is not your average traditional frame carrier. Weighing only 2.7 lbs, this lightweight carrier is a breeze to use. The convenient kickstand allows for easy loading and unloading which is fantastic when you don't have anyone around to help you! The alumnimum frame adjusts to fit individual users and the padded waist support is a welcome comfort.
If you have an especially "jumpy" or active baby you will appreciate the 5-pt safety harness which helps to insure your child is secure.
The kokopax classic also features:
• made with 100% cotton canvas
• comfortable shoulder straps
• handy storage pocket
• 5-pt. safety harness
• ties to secure pax protector™
• toy ring to attach koko™ or other toys
• fits in airline overhead bins
• makes a great every day baby backpack
• for use from 6 months to 2 years (or up to 35 pounds)
• includes green carry bag
• Available in the six fun colors, Bubbles, Buds, Sailor, Espresso, Garden & Licorice.
Keep your eye out for kokopax's exciting, new products set to hit stores between December '09 and January '10. Their smart, new eco-classic carrier™ made from 100% natural cotton fabric and eco-friendly dyes, will be available in three fabric patters: sprout, bubbles take-two and pax and will retail for $179.99. For cost conscious parents, the kokopax city is an ideal solution, retailing for $99.99.
Want a matching diaper bag? kokopax has that covered as well! The samantha diaper tote is a funky bag made with 100% cotton canvas and a custom designed water-resistant lining.
Charlie and Brooke Sheen are big fans of the Kokopax carrier and sun hats for their twin boys Max and Bob!

Little Fit: Cool & Edgy Caps For Kids
Baseball hats that actually fit small children are so hard to find! If you are lucky enough to come across one, chances are the design isn't exactly what you were looking for.
Little Fit has come up with a variety of "Little & Big Trucker" hats as well as "Classic" baseball caps, which are specifically made in two sizes fitting infants and children from the ages of 4 months-5 years old.
Our personal favorite is the "AB CD" couture trucker in pink bling, a tongue n' cheek variation of the famous AC DC logo. I love the rhinestone touch on the lightning bolt! The hat also comes in black for the little dudes.
If logos and designs aren't your thing, Little Fit also has a line of "Classic" baseball hats which come in red, black, blue, tan, pink and brown. Be sure to check the sizing before hand as its a little different then the trucker due to their "Flex" fit.
These rockin' caps are so cool, even Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's son Liam, is a fan! The cool cutie was photographed wearing Little Fit's "Skull and Crossbone" trucker hat during the taping of Tori & Dean Home Sweet Hollywood.
Little Fit is offering Celebrity Baby Scoop readers an exclusive 10% discount as well as free shipping and handling on any order of 3 hats. Be sure to enter coupon code

momAgenda Desktop: A Stylish Organizer & Day Planner For Moms
While running our business, taking care of my two little ones and everything else that goes on in a day, organizing our life on scraps of paper and by memory doesn't work so well. After receiving the momAgenda Desktop Planner, my life has become so much more organized and I've been able to manage my time more efficiently. It has truly been the ultimate lifesaver!
What I love the most about this planner:
* 17 months of weekly and monthly pages
The first section is split up into months like a regular calendar for spaces to jot down upcoming appointments, dates or any notes you might have.
The weekly section (my personal favorite) has a spot "My Week" with which to jot down notes or plans for A.M, Noon & P.M. as well as spaces to keep track of daily activities for up to 4 separate children. I can neatly and efficiently organize everyone's to-dos and schedules all on one page!
* Double ribbons for bookmarking
These are great when you want to keep your "spot" on more than one page.
* The lists of important holidays, websites, online resources and Toll-free numbers are extremely handy.
* Removable & reusable momEssentials pamphlet.
Not only is this booklet an address book, but it has pages to store important information, phone numbers, websites, passwords, birthdays and anniversaries.
*Available in a wide variety of stylish and stain-resistant colors with personalization options available. I personally love their faux crocodile covers!
Although the cost is a little higher compared to other planners , the momAgenda Desktop provides elegance, style and everything you could possibly need in a day planner.
Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman "Loves" her momAgenda while country crooner Brad Paisley's wife Kimberly Williams Paisley, calls the products "Genuis!"
momAgenda has kindly offered our readers here at Celebrity Baby Scoop an exclusive 20% discount on everything in their store. Discount code CELEBMOM is valid until 10/31/09.
Piggy Paint: Non-toxic Polish For Little Fingers & Toes
Although my daughter loves to have her nails painted "Just like mama", I have never been too keen on it. Most nail polishes and nail polish removers on the market are full of chemicals and fumes, something I don't want to expose my daughter to - especially at this age.
Piggy Paint™ was created by Melanie Hurley, a mother who had the same concerns as myself. Once, while painting her daughter's nails over a foam plate, she dropped a glob of the polish onto the foam surface and the solvent-based polish proceeded to bubble and "eat" through the plate!
Since then, Melanie has come up with non-toxic product which is especially created for little hands and feet. This water-based nail polish is formulated from natural ingredients and is completely free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone.
Edoche Booties: Cozy & Cute Infant Moccasins
Who doesn't love a pair of baby moccasins? They are such a cute and cuddly way to keep your baby's feet warm! Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck as all of the ones I have found so far were either too narrow in the foot, too stiff or not warm enough.
Edoche recently sent me a pair of their Pink Alligator Originals to review and I was excited to test them out on my 8-month-old daughter.
Over the last couple of weeks she has worn Edoche's booties both inside the house as well as outside and they have kept her little toes toasty warm. The width is very generous and provides a roomy fit which I loved and the leather is easy to wipe clean for those messy little hands. I also liked the lace up style and found it helped to keep the shoe secure on her foot.
These adorable shearling moccasins are made out of lightweight leather and plush materials and come in 2 generous sizes: 0-6 months and 6-12 months.
Madonna thought these booties were the bomb and sent a pair to David Letterman for his son Harry. Ellen Degeneres also gifted Leah Remini with a pair for her little girl Sofia.
Edoche has offered our readers at Celebrity Baby Scoop free shipping on all purchases. Enter coupon code 156 upon check out.
