Squidsoap: Making Washtime Fun

When you have little kids, dirty hands are just a fact of life. My boys have no problem getting their hands dirty, but cleaning up can be a battle.

SquidSoap has come up with a fun solution that takes the battle out of clean up time. Their innovative soap combines fun with necessity and teaches kids the proper hand washing technique at the same time.

Squidsoap works by applying a small orange ink mark on your children's hand when they press in the pump to dispense the soap . The soap is designed to wash off after you wash for about 15-20 seconds which is the amount of time recommended by most doctors to kill the germs on your hands.

Each bottle comes with its very own Squishy Squid toy which provides extra entertainment even when the kids are done washing up.

Twinkle-Kids: Taking Kids Tees to the Next Level


I admit it, I'm a crafter. I have a room, "my studio", that is filled with fabric and papers and all kinds of pretty things. The studio is my sanctuary and my happy place in a world full of energenic boys.

When I saw the tees by Twinkle-kids, the crafter in me was extremely impressed. Each of their adorable tees are created out of 100% cotton and embellished with soft wool felt. The felt gives the design an extra element of style and texture.

Twinkle-kids was created by two good friends and inspired by a set of Twins. "Twin"-kle kids is definitely inspired by a love of crafts and metropolitan tastes which are both evident in the quality and workmanship in their products.

Their styles are simple and stylish in a variety of today's popular color combos. Definitely check out their skyline tee, it's my personal favorite!

Until Kara: Simple Oranic Burp Cloths

When I started shopping for my first baby, I collected all those "must have" lists and one of the items that confused me was the requisite cloth diapers. I was going to use disposable, why would I need cloth diapers?

As a new mom, I quickly found out how indespensible a simple pack of cloth diapers can be. They were perfect for quick cleanups, tossing over my shoulder for burp time, and pretty much every icky job you can imagine. They weren't pretty, but they sure got the job done.

We had two options when we bought our pack - Gerbers blue and Gerbers white.

Until Kara has created a line of organic cloth baby products including a super soft organic cotton burp cloth that any new mom could be proud to toss over her shoulder. These cloths are surprisingly soft with the feel of soft flannel.

If you are a fan of natural baby products, they have a coordinating line of baby blankets made of the same soft cotton fabric and are introducing a line of baby bedding this Spring. Until Kara's products are very reasonably priced. All products are created out of 100% Organic Cotton and are chemically free.

This time of year is terrible on the skin - especially for those of us that live in cold weather states. This weekend the artic temperatures are heading for Minnesota and we're getting ready to lock ourselves in with a pile of movies and time on our hands.

Lands End: Bathing Suits for Bodies that Have Had Babies

I had the unfortunate experience of breaking my ankle over the holidays. When I went to the doctor to have it checked out last week, he informed me that the cast will probably come off next week. Our discussion turned to what I will be able to do and what I should avoid for the time being.

My biggest concern was being able to work out. I had started a workout regime last October and am very eager to get back on it. Well, apparently I can't at least not yet. I have to slowly work my stregnth back up before I get to do any running or anything involving any impact. But I can swim all I want according to the doc.

Shudders went down my back. I haven't gone swimming since I had the twins. We've taken them to the pool, but it involves a sprint from where I remove my coverup to the water and vice versa.

I've been saying since we started the workout regime that I need to get a new swimsuit so I can swim. Now that it appears that swimming will need to be my form of exercise at least for a few weeks, I could put it off no more.

So my husband calls me up yesterday and asks if I want to go shopping and we can pick up that swimming suit. Oh yeah, that's what I need my husband impatiently waiting while I try on suit after suit that I hate. But I relunctedly agreed and off we went.

Our first stop ended up being the last. We found the perfect suit at Lands End (in my case one of their outlets) and I am delighted.

Typically, the suits either cover way too little or way too much. I tried on a dozen and most worked fine but one of their slenderizers is the perfect suit. It sucks in all that you need contained without being unconfortable and doesn't look like a grandma suit. It even got my husband's seal of approval.

I still have to wait a week before I can try it out in water, but if you are starting your search for a summer bathing suit definitely check out the ones at Lands End today! (Note - their outlets are having a great sale with 40% off the already reduced prices!!)

Blue Eye Boy: Jewelry with Boys in Mind

Moms of little boys sometimes get the short end of the stick when it comes to kids accessories. Little girls come with frilly socks, playful jewelry, and all kinds of ribbons and bows. Little boys come with baseball caps. Unless of course you count dirt which happens to be my boys number one fashion accessory.

I was delighted to find Blue Eye Boy and their collection of jewelry designed for little boys. The collection is designed with today's boys in mind and feature a variety of "boy" themes like camo, bones, and baseballs.

I was concerned that the necklace would be too fragile for everyday wear, but the moment I opened the box my fears were alleviate. Each necklace is constructed with durable polymer clay beads and coordinating spacers. They close with a secure screw clasp. Blue Eye Boy has found a way to take childrens jewelry and infuse them with the spirit of boyhood.

To put it in my seven-year-old's words as he saw it for the first time, "That is so cool!!!!!"

If you are looking for a great gift for the little guys in your life definitely check out Blue Eye Boy today. It may earn you the title of cool mom at least for a little while!

Welcome to The Chic Mom!

The Chic Mom is a spin-off blog from Celebrity Moms and The Stylish Child.

Colin Maguire: Stylin' Tees with a Purpose

Moms of boys know that they often get the short end of the fashion stick. Clothes for boys often come in two categories: plain and ordinary play clothes, or please dear god don't let him get it dirty dress clothes. A new company, Colin Maguire, has introduced a stylish new line of boys clothing that combines comfort and style. They have incorporated an extrodinary cause too that makes you feel good by just buying a t-shirt.

Colin Maguire was created by an entrepreneurial couple in partnership with The Children's Inn at NIH. How it works is the kids at the National Institues of Health create the artwork and Colin Maguire by way of owners Carrie and Matt Eckert turn the designs into stylish clothing for your kids.

The National Institutes of Health provides the latest treatment options for seriously ill children. The Inn at NIH offers a place like home for these great children and their families. Colin Maguire’s partnership with The Inn at NIH supports the Inn financially, and gives the children a way of sharing the spirit of the inn with a wider audience (plus how cool is it to see your artwork on a t-shirt!)

I immediately fell for their eagle and lion layered t-shirts for my animal lover. The shirts are crafted from 100% super-soft cotton and are available in sizes 18-24 mos, 2T, 3T, 4T and 5T. The are introducing new art work monthly so there is alway something new to buy.

Caden Lane: Nursery Sets with Style and Whimsy

Baby bedding has come a long way in just a few short years. When I was expecting the twins just over three years ago, baby bedding still tended to favor the overly cutesy designs. I am not an overly cutesy mommy. I ended up designing my own sets since I couldn't find anything I liked in the marketplace.

Today there are lots of new designers out there have created gorgeous, timeless designs for your nursery. One of my absolute favorites is Caden Lane. Their crib sets favor beautful, classic color combinations in subtle tones and designs somehow capturing the perfect balance of style and whimsy. Easily categorized in "Pink", "Boy oh Boy", and "Neutral" combinations makes it easy to find a set that fits your baby.

The sets are designed to wash and wear. Nothing breaks my heart more than finding a beautiful baby product with the words "dry clean only" as many baby bumpers can carry. Each four piece set includes slip-covered bumper pads, a square blanket, fitted sheet, and crib skirt crafted out of 100% cotton with minky accents.

See their entire collection at cadedlane.com, visit one of their fine retailers, or purchase online at Dimples and Dandelions.

Lyla Blu: Thermals with Attitude

My favorite winter outfit for the boys is layering a cozy thermal with a stylin' tee. Lyla Blu has eliminated the need for the tee and put the rock and roll style right on the thermal.

Lyla Blu thermals take fun and fashion forward hippy inspired screen prints and match them with 100% cotton thermals for the perfect cold weather wear. As with most thermals, they just get softer and even more comfy with each machine washing. My favorite is their "Love Child" thermal!

Sean Preston and Billy Bob Thornton's daughter, Bella, have both been recently photographed in their Lyla Blu tees. Britney Spears even reportedly purchased one of the Lyla Blu onsies last weekend while out shopping with Paris Hilton.
