Sex and The City: The Movie - Book from Harper Collins


I think I might have been the only Sex and The City fan who didn't see the movie last night! But, I did get a sneak peek at the divine book "Sex and The City: The Movie".

This beautiful book features mouth-watering bonus features not available anywhere else: behind-the-scenes stories from Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, star and producer Sarah Jessica Parker, writer and director Michael Patrick King, as well as producers and other key cast and crew members.

What a lovely book for SATC fans. With over 300 pages about the movies plot, fashion and SATC's guide to NYC, "Sex and The City: The Movie" is the-must-have book for all you die hard fans.

The pages are filled with every out fit each lady wore, with the designer listed as well -- so you can find that gorgeous Norma Kamali bathing suit Miranda wore or what shoes Carrie is wearing!!

I'm glad I got a sneak peek of the book before I head out to the movies to watch my girls. But, warn you the book does give away the plot -- so if you don't want to know what happens then buy the book after you see the movie.

* Bonus -- win a copy of the "Sex and The City: The Movie" book, autographed by SJP* You can enter here*

Thank you to Harper Collins for our copy of this wonderful book. We are donating the copy to KC's Cancer Cushion Fund's 2nd annual Pub Night to help families with cancer and need a little financial help!

Safetytat--just in case

With summer quickly approaching and many trips to the zoo, amusement parks and water parks in your future, wouldn't you feel better knowing that if, you found yourself in the unfortunate situation where your child gets distracted and wanders off, there was a way that they could contact you?

Well, Safteytat has the solution. They have come up with temporary tattoos that have a phone number where you can be reached. These tattoos are FDA approved, durable and at the same time, temporary.



Whether your child goes on a field trip or you are taking the family to the zoo together, there is always that possibility that your child could be separated from the group. If your cell phone number were on a tattoo that was placed on your child's arm, they could point that out to someone who could help them.

These tattoos are great for children who are too young to communicate a phone number or who may be extremely intimidated to talk to strangers in such a situation.

The tattoos come in nine different child friendly designs that can be customized with any phone number. They last approximately 2-3 days and help put your mind at ease.

We think that these tattoos are a terrific investment for this upcoming summer!

Just Buzzin' By


So this morning as I was feeding my daughter breakfast, and by feeding I mean her throwing the spoon on the floor and getting cereal EVERYWHERE I thought, there has to be something to protect my floors.

I went onto the Just Buzzin' By website to check out their gear. I was looking for and found nfant and toddler meal time accessories thatare FUNctional, fashionable, and non-toxic. Their products are free of PVC, Phthalates and lead.

The splat mats are a great size, especialy when your little one is discovering gravity! Celebrity moms that enjoy Just Buzzin' By's products include Halle Berry who sent a thank you note when she recieved a bib from them!

Z'fina: babywearing for mom & dad



We are such fans of babywearing in our house. The two slings I owned though up until now had been a little too feminine and not sized correctly for my husband. So, when we got to try out the man sling™ from Canadian company, Z'fina we were intrigued.


These baby slings are designed with men in mind and are made with athletic breathable fabrics - perfect for daddy and baby. My husband loved wearing our baby around the house and out and about. It created a closeness and specialness for both him and our baby. He was able to take out our toddler and baby easily (as we all know that can be a challenge!). He said he felt, "confident and cool"babywearing and all the mom commented how amazing it was that he was wearing his little one.


The man sling™ from Z'fina is well made and durable. The fabric wipes down easily so cleaning your sling is quick. Z'fina is carried in many stores in Canada and you can buy online.

Congratulations to Vicky from Newmarket who won a Z'fina man sling™

Clippo hair clips from Clippopotamus

I'm new to this whole little girl thing, with matching outfits, ribbons and bows! At first I wasn't sure about it but I am starting to have fun and accessorize my little one!

I am really excited to have found another amazing mom-run company located in the GTA that is doing great things. Clippo hair clips from
Clippopotamus are super-cute hair clips for babies, toddlers and mommies alike.

Like their tagline says, " Like hippos in the wild, Clippos may look cute, but their bite is fierce" And they mean it. I used a teeny clip one my 6 month old and despite having pretty much peach-fizz still the clip stayed in! I can't tell you how many people commented on the cuteness of the clip while out last week.

We love the fact that there is a size and colour for every age and that Clippopotamus is now offering a range of other very stylish accessories.

With prices starting at just over a dollar... that's right a dollar(!) for something handmade Clippos are going to be big news in this wild maket of baby & kids products. They accept custom orders as well -- so if you need a special design just contact them and they'll get back to you fast!
