We closed the book on Halloween 2010, but mama's photos of her costumed cuties are slowly making their way into the albums. Before we turn our attention to the rest of the season's holidays, here's one last look at the Sugar Community's dressed up tots – they may even provide some inspiration for next year!
Holiday season is here, and we're kicking off our 2010 gift guides! We have awesome ideas of what to give everyone in your life from your mom to your little brother to your yoga-loving best friend. We'll be sharing our picks from now through December. We're also getting in the spirit with tons of Thanksgiving planning, tips, tricks, and inspiration to get everyone excited for the most festive time of the year!
Two is twice the fun! Toddlers are constantly on the move, and keeping them still for more than a few moments requires engaging toys and activities. From a play kitchen where a wee one can whip up an imaginary dish to a first trike, these picks should keep any kiddo occupied!
Budding chefs can whip up something tasty with Smart Gear's Wooden Cooking Center ($170), which includes a stovetop, oven, and sink. Melissa and Doug's Car Carrier ($15) allows tots to load and move the four included cars, and the set matches up with all wooden train tracks for added fun. Kid-O's Bilibo ($30) is a seat, a hat, a step stool, a hiding spot, or whatever your tot makes of it — that's the beauty of this creation. P'kolino's Multi-Solution Shape Puzzles ($20) have a different final outcome each time, making them fun — and interesting — for more than the standard two minutes. The Wishbone Bike ($250) grows from a trike, to a first running bike, into a big-kid balance bike, with little more than a flip of the body — meaning lil ones can use it for at least two years.
Finding the perfect way to tell family and friends about your expectant status is one of the top priorities for a newly pregnant couple. Forty-eight percent of LilSugar readers opted to spread the news in person, but that's not always possible.
A reader recently wrote in looking for a creative way to broadcast her impending arrival. After trying to conceive for several years, she's now expecting, but the online announcement she had bookmarked is no longer available. Help the expectant mom out and tell us the most creative way you've heard a couple share their news.
Lots of moms like to think out loud, and Zoe1416 is one of them. Just in time for the temperature to drop, she found one company's solution for keeping mom and tot warm on a cool day. She showed it off on her Ridiculous Mom and Baby Gear blog.
If you're looking for a way to keep baby warm this winter, check out the Peekaro — the Fleece Baby Carrier Cover.
Creative name, but the product itself reminds me of a Snuggie, and the baby looks like an Alien popping out of mom's chest. (See photo to see what I mean).
The Peekaro is a fleece vest that zips over a soft baby carrier to keep both you and your baby warm when you're on the go. It works with Baby Bjorns, Mei Tais, Hotslings, and Wraps. Made with 85 percent recycled fleece, this ridiculous baby and mom product may be useful but just looks like a company jumped on the hype of the Snuggie.
So if you're looking for a Snuggie combined with a baby carrier, you've found it with the Peekaru!
