Ella Bee Baby

Get your little ones ready for Valentine’s Day with Ellabee Baby’s Valentine Day’s collection. Ellabee Baby offers apparel for babies and toddlers printed with fun whimsical designs. The 100% combed cotton onesies and tees would make an ideal gift for a new baby or for your own young one.


I especially adore the Lady's Man and Lovebug tee for Valentine’s Day this year. How adorable. Visit Ellabee Baby to see more of their delightful designs.

Planet Jill Jewelry

Last year I received a necklace with a photo charm attached. On one side was a picture of my little one, the other side was a picture of me and my family. I absolutely adore it! I wear it everyday, close to my heart. If you don’t have a custom photo jewelry piece, then I recommend visiting Planet Jill.

Planet Jill offers custom photo jewelry and accessories using your personal photos. They feature necklaces, bracelets, key chains, etc … in various styles. Planet Jill will also work with you to create your own design if you prefer. Their jewelry is also available in sterling silver, 14K white or yellow gold. Visit Planet Jill to see their collection.

The Magic of Olivia

In my opinion the most adorable and precocious pig in children’s literature today is Miss Olivia. Created by author Ian Falconer, Olivia has entertained children worldwide, including my own. Children can relate to Olivia and see themselves in her – she is a classical young child with high energy, over the top stories and who hates naps. I adore the Olivia books and now I am excited to see this delightful Olivia Purse Fashion Pack. Little ones can use this pack as a lunch sak, snack bag or purse. I especially love the little ears that stick out. This charming Little Packrats Olivia Purse Fashion Pack can be picked up at a fabulous online boutique called Black Wagon.

Mama Lit

I know that as a mother we may not have all the time in the world to pick up a good book, settle down and relax. But in those rare moments when you just need to get away, here are a couple of fabulous books that mommies like us can relate to, laugh with, cry with, or just plain enjoy.
