Garvalin Sandals for 2009
Here’s another one of my favorites. Just in time for spring and summer, comes the new collection of Garvalin Sandals for 2009. Beautifully made of quality materials, these Spanish made shoes are both comfortable and super cute! The footbed is cushioned for comfort and the outsole is made of durable rubber, so they should last till your kid outgrows them. Available at ZAPPOS.

These beanbags are so cozy, makes you want to snuggle in and read a book or watch a movie. And you don’t have to worry about your little ones falling off or injuring themselves like a regular chair. Only problem you may have is getting your kids to share. comes in two sizes, Large & Mini for the kids. Available at Design Public.

Time-Out iphone Application
I came across this iphone application during my weekly scan of new applications. This one maybe useful. Some children really respond to timers as if it’s the authority. Here’s how it works: you first have to do the initial set-up of your children’s names, up to four kids, and the time-out durations. Once that is set-up, you can start a time-out with a single click, and this can be done concurrently. You can shorten or add time as you see fit. Once the time-out is complete, an alarm sounds. For 99¢ it’s worth a try. Available at Apple itunes

Mommy and Me Bikinis by MamaOm
I just love love love this line of Mommy and Me swimwear. The selection of swimwear is matchy without looking cheesy. The colors and patterns are fun, pretty and girly. The designs are so unique. They’re not your run of the mill swimsuits. And best of all, the lycra used is top quality, so these suits will last. It’s never too early to get ready for summer. See the whole collection at MAMAOM

Wow, talk about sexy! No more feeling dumpy in your huge maternity panties. The bras are front fastening so they also function as a nursing bra.

Day to Night Baby Log by Skip Hop
Want to keep track of baby’s feedings, sleeping schedule and diaper changes without waking up baby? No need to turn on the light with this clever baby log. This log comes with an illuminated Time Capsule that casts a soft glow of light across the pages so you can see what the heck you’re writing in the middle of the night.

Legoland & The Four Seasons Aviara Combo
This is the killer combo. So, you’ve finally decided to take the little ones down to Legoland in Carlsbad and you are dreading it. Whether you live in Los Angeles or are just visiting, the 90 mile trip may seem a little daunting. By the time you reach the place, the little ones are exhausted, and your patience is waning. This is the solution that I have found to make the experience much more enjoyable for everyone. The Four Seasons Aviara Resort in Carlsbad has a package deal with the Legoland Park. Included in the purchase price of any room, are two adult tickets to Legoland (60.00 each). In addition, the Four Seasons Aviara resort is only a five minute drive to Legoland. The resort has a world class Arnold Palmer designed golf course, a full service spa, a huge game room for the kids and even one for the teenage kids. There is a huge family swimming pool and family jacuzzi as well as a couples tranquility pool (no kids). They definitely cater to the children, with a special gift and designed snack tray for your arrival. The hotel goes all out for the kids and they also have an excellent room service menu. The basic room is great but at the last minute we upgraded to a full suite with separate living room and two patios and two separate full bathrooms. This combo made the entire trip a worthwhile journey and something that all of us wouldn’t mind doing every year. For more information visit these two links: FOUR SEASONS-AVIARA. LEGOLAND.
