Wow! What a steal. As you may be aware, every Tuesday we scour the web looking for super baby boutique bargains (at least 50% off retail). We out-did ourselves today with this 70% off+ baby item. A decadent, rich brown waffle cone blanket and ice cream hat gift set- a perfect holiday gift! Originally $160. now an unbelievable $49.95. Hurry- quantities are limited. Find it and more great bargains at one of our fave boutiques, Polka Dot Whale

Read Polka Dot Whale’s description: “What flavor is your baby? Turn heads as your stroll down 5th Avenue! Neopolita has created a delightful confection of handknit icecream swirl baby hats and waffle cone texture baby blankets. Designer, Syd Kato, is known for design work with the Simpsons. Just imagine the photos of the newborn swaddled in her waffle cone blanket & ice cream hat. The beautiful, cozy yarns are shipped specially from Germany. Hat sized to fit infants 0-4 months. Hand wash only. 50% Merino, 50% acrylic. All details crafted by hand. The adorable bubblegum hat is perfect for boy or girl. For the baby shower Mommy who has everything…the one last things she needs is Neopolita! A truly unique gift she’ll never forget…”

My kids are the pickiest eaters so I have been hiding veggies in their food whenever I can. They seem to have inherited a gene that causes them to have a severe aversion to any green colored foods. And that gene was handed down from me. I’m not the biggest fan of vegetables but I do have my favorites that I try to eat several times a week.

Since I’m a fan of deceiving my kids into eating their veggies I jumped at the chance to review Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious cookbook. She collaborated with nutritionist Joy Bauer who provides her expertise throughout the book.

The book is quite pleasing to the eye. I love the retro fifties illustrations and my kids loved the colorful photos and illustrations. I let them in on my veggie hiding secret after they ate and fell in love with the sweet potato pancakes. They were pleasantly surprised that veggies could taste so good. After that they enjoyed picking out recipes for us to try.

Another one of their favorites is the Tortilla “Cigars” that are made with yellow squash and carrots. I pack these in their lunches which gives me one less thing to feel guilty about.

Jessica also offers great tips on how to make veggie purees and stocking the kitchen to make her recipes easy peasy. There is a whole section from Joy Bauer devoted to what every parent should know about nutrition. These two didn’t miss a detail in crafting a beautiful and informative cookbook.

Please note: This ticker is merely a sample and in no way implies a baby (or babies) is on the way for one of us here at Lipstick to Crayons.

It seems everyone has their own ticker these days- counting down their children’s birthdays, etc. This unique ticker counts down the days during your pregnancy until your due date. I thoroughly enjoyed browsing this cool site where I found the pregnancy ticker. You can personalize the ticker with your name and it will even calculate your due date. As your pregnancy advance, watch the fetus grow larger. Aside from the widget, you can find interesting games, find out the popularity of your child’s name, see a interactive 3-D fetus, and even buy yourself some cool t-shirts with funny sayings.

Babstrology.com was founded by a dad who had just lost his job as a computer programmer and website designer. At the time, his wife was newly pregnant. The site at first yielded little traffic or interest. That is until he developed his innovative pregnancy ticker. Now the pregnancy ticker has been downloaded over 70,000 times! Check out all the hype at Babystrology.

I’m a girly mom. I love all things pink and the more frou frou the better. Tulle, bows, ribbons, and bling, bring ‘em on! No surprise then that I’ve fallen in love with the products at Bambina Ballerina which specializes in unique and girly bowholders.

It all began with a mom who wanted to get the bows out of the drawer, off the floor, and somewhere she could find them. The bowholders she creates are not only beautiful but functional and can match your little girl’s room decor.

Bambina Ballerina offers premade designs or made to order at reasonable prices. She also has designs inspired by her favorite Gymboree lines.

Bambina Ballerina is currently running a pre-holiday sale. All pre-made designs are $29.99. Order two full size bowholders and get one matching mini holder free. These are a must on your gift list if you know a girly girl.
