Celebrate Childhood with Caillou Educational Toys from PBS Kids

Moomettes — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 02:16:45 +0000

Growing up is the greatest adventure, especially when you are 4 years old. I take great delight in watching my granddaughter and grandson reach a new milestone every day. To expand the horizon of preschool kids everywhere, the television show featuring the beloved hero Caillou, airs on PBS Kids and Sprout and is brought to you by Cookie Jar Entertainment.

PBS Kids Caillou

Each Caillou episode is about a simple everyday life situation that feels so BIG to a child. It’s about discovery and imagination. Watching Caillou helps children feel empowered and inspired. What Caillou does in the episodes reflects what every child does in their day-to-day lives. Caillou is an everyday hero and “a kid just like me.”

Designed for preschoolers, the Caillou television series is composed of 30-minute episodes divided into three 7-minute adventures. In each adventure, Caillou discovers the big, wide world, experiences new things, shares his imaginary adventures with us and sometimes, even sings for his little viewers!

The Cookie Jar Group of Companies is one of the world’s leading independent entertainment, consumer products and educational publishing companies.

Some of the educational toys that the Caillou website features are:

Fresh Produce Casual Clothing And Travel Wear For Women

Moomettes — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:40:56 +0000

If you’re fascinated in revamping your fashion style or looking to buy fresh travel wear or the latest trends for the upcoming cruise, wedding or summer fashion seasons, you may want to consider shopping at Fresh Produce casual clothing, a familiar and popular fashion store.

I first discovered Fresh Produce when my husband and I were on a day trip to Block Island, Rhode Island. We took the Block Island Ferry out of New London, CT and spent the whole day leisurely meandering in and out of the local boutiques and bistros. I immediately fell in love with the Fresh Produce clothing line, and by the time I walked out, had several bags of colorful, trendy tops not only for myself, and an adorable beachwear sundress for ‘Lil Moomette, my granddaughter, as well!

Color is everyplace, in our outfits, in our jewelry and in life in general. Fashion and color coordination can establish or burst our carefully conceived outfit.

Fresh Produce Casual Sportswear

Fresh Produce is made for women who want comfort but don’t want to compromise color and style. Their core belief for women everywhere is that life is just too fun for beige!

Here’s a morsel of color theory with a fashionista twist. Fashion colors switch from year to year, however understanding color combinations and how to position them together is what Fresh Produce is all about.

The women’s clothing retailer, Fresh Produce Clothing has separates that are fun, beach-inspired, full of personality, comfort and sun-drenched colors. Fresh Produce Clothing appeals to many different generations from daughters to moms to grandmothers. Here on Moomettes Magnificents, it’s easy to see that I love the ocean, beach salt marshes and hot weather, just like Fresh Produce Clothing, which is inspired by the vacation, kicked-back spirit.

Fresh Produce Clothes sent me some colorful and comfortable clothes items to experience!

In my About Me Page, I mentioned that I really need a personal shopper, and generally rely upon my Fashion Diva daughters to guide me along. Fresh Produce put together this terrific outfit of separates that would be stylish enough to wear in the exclusive seaside resorts of Newport, Rhode Island or Longbeach, California – The Hamptons in New York or on vacation or holiday in Bermuda!

Now in its third decade, Fresh Produce continues to be primarily Made in the USA and has grown into a $50 million company with one of the most original, refreshing and captivating casual, resort and sportswear lines in America. Known and loved by women ages 6 months to 60-plus for lush colors, year-round sensibility, simply inspired design and coastal comfort, Fresh Produce continues to delight customers around the globe.

The Outfit:

These women’s capris pants are so comfy! They’re 100% cool cotton with an elastic waistband and drawstring! Perfect for about town or jaunting around tourist destinations!

Fresh Produce Topstiched Sheeting Capri

After an afternoon of sightseeing, when paired with the Capri pants and some fashion or jewelry accessories, this women’s casual clothing stretch cami will help you get your sexy on and add a little flair when dining out.

Stretch Lace Trim Cami

The finishing touch on this versatile travel wear is adding a fall fashion Baby Rib Essential Cardigan to ward off the chill when listening to concerts in the band shell or moonlight strolls along Cape Cod Bay.

I’m wearing it in “Tropical Punch.”

Fresh Produce Clothes offers standard as well as plus sizes, and their children’s collections include infant (sizes 6 months to 24 months), toddler (2T – 4T), and Kids (5-6X/7).

Fresh Produce Clothing is a women’s retailer based in Boulder Colorado with 38 stores nationwide. FP is also Green!

You can sign up for the FP email newsletter to stay on top of all the latest information on new products, events & promotions.

Fresh Produce Clothing is also sold in over 700 specialty retailers nationwide, including Nordstroms

Snap Me Swimwear: Bathing Suits for Infant and Toddler Girls

Moomettes — Sat, 15 May 2010 16:22:19 +0000

Bathing Suit Changing That’s a SNAP!

Toddler Vacation Fashion

Summer’s just around the corner and that means swimming season! Many families will be packing the family car and heading to the beach, lake or taking a staycation poolside or at the local swimming hole.

When my girls were toddlers and potty training we spent our family summer vacations at Cape Code at the National Seashore. Although there were bathhouses for diaper changing and restroom facilities – it was quite a long walk up on hot sand and up the stairs at Marconi and Coast Guard Beach to get there “in time.”

Once we reached our destination – the struggle began to remove wet bathing suits and sand, while watching the girls do the “potty dance.”

Recently I received a new bathing suit from Snap Me Swimwear for ‘Lil Moomette that’s the answer to a mom’s as well as grandmom’s struggles!

Snap Me Swimwear are bathing suits for infant and toddler girls that have a double row of snaps on the bottom to make diaper changes and bathroom breaks a snap!

With all the staffing cutbacks because of the economy, you won’t have to cringe when you see the wet suit fall to the floor in a public restroom that’s isn’t up to your cleaning standards!

Snap me Swimwear has been featured on Parenting and Celebrity Baby Scoop.

Check out all the cutest designs! Sizes are available in 6 mo to 4T. Pick up several now for your daughters or grandkids!

Fabric: 84% Polyester & 16% Spandex
UVP 30 Fabric, 2 rows of snaps, adjustment loop around head strap.

MSRP: $27.99

How To Shop For Boutique Childrens Clothes: Be A Frugal Fashionista

Moomettes — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:41:21 +0000

Dressing Your Kids in Boutique Designer Clothes Frugally

Baby Lulu Boutique Fashions

Stretch Your Clothing Shopping Budget

Since Spring Fling week is happening, if you like to dress your kids in the latest boutique clothing without spending a fortune, it can be done easily if you scour eBay for the trendiest items. Kids grow like weeds, and often only get to wear pricey items once or twice before they outgrow them.

As a former Power Seller on eBay (I now sell on Bonanzle) where I sold boutique children’s clothing, I’m going to spill my secrets, as boutique childrens clothing is no longer my focus. This post is the first of a series, where first, I’ll show you HOW to find those American, European and Indie boutique items, and secondly, how to turn around and sell them – so in essence, your initial investment will drop considerably.

When my granddaughter, ‘Lil Moomette was born, I had a blast outfitting her in the most adorable, trendiest, expensive outfits, by both USA, European designer brand names.

How did I do this? Like mommy blogger forums, I belonged to several different forums that specialized specifically in topics dealing with both buying boutique items at a low price, and then turning around and reselling those gently worn items back at the highest price.

There’s a science to it, and if you stay with me throughout this series, I’ll let you know how to do it. This will be the “short version,” simplified series, because if you really want to know more, you’ll have to join those forums yourself. I am no longer affiliated with any such forums, so there’s nothing in-it-for-me here, except to give my readers a little heads-up.

Selling for a profit on eBay is easy when you have kids. People are earning hundreds of dollars a month by selling kid related items. Here are some general ideas to help you get started.

Boutique Brand Items or Pageant Fashions to Look For on eBay or in Consignment Shops

Kids clothing is a good money maker on eBay or in consignment shops. First, you’ll want to know what the most popular boutique brand names are, and how you’ll be able to find them.

Some of the more famous brand names to look for are:

Zulily and Haven Gir; Corky and Company; Janie and Jack; Right Bank Babies; The Childrens Place; Totsy; bTrendie; Rothschild; Greggy Girl; Hartstrings, NAARTJie; Talbots Kids; Ladybug; Anthologyinc; Chezami; Jottum; Meli Meli; Boutique Miabambina Co.; Enchanted Enfant Courture; Will’beth; Boutique IKKS; Amanda Remembered; Baby LuLu; Baby Nay; Bailey Boys; Balu; Bear Feet; Beaux Et Belles; Beetlejuice; Cakewalk; Catimini; Chicken Noodle; Chipie; Chouchouter; Clayeux; Deux-par-Deux; Elefantenl; Gregory Girl; Hannah Banana; Hanna Andersson; Indygo Artwear; Jacadi; JM Originals; Jean Bourget; Jottum; Kissy Kissy (Small Sizes); La Mere Michele; Le Top; Lili Gaufrette Provence; Lilly Pulitzer; Lipstick; Little Mass; Luna Luna Copenhagen; Marese; Michael Simon; Mis Tee V Us; Mish Mish; Mullberri Bush; Munki Munki; Oilily; Oink Baby!; Orient Express; Petit Bateau; Petit Faune; Psketti; Room Seven; Rubbies; Sarah Louise (England); Sashal; Shilav; So Kiwi; Tea Collection; Tickles & Giggles; Toff Togs; Trish Scully; Za Za Couture; Zoodles; Elepantito and of course, any Custom Boutique Resell items.

Go to eBay and look up a “lot” of size six girl’s clothes. You’ll find that they’re expensive! The average price for a lot of 20 good conditioned clothes is about $35.00. You can check recent completeds under the “Advanced” search function to get a feel for what the lots have been selling for.

Look for auctions or “Buy-It-Now” where the items are bundled into different lots by categories. For example, bundled girls dresses, or bundled girls play clothes. You’ll specifically want to look for bundled boutique items; perhaps not all the same brands will be bundled together, but you’ll find several different boutique brands mixed together. Occasionally there will be a Baby Gap, Gap, or Gymboree brand mixed in with the lot. Look for items that have at least six each of different types.

Lots of any item can be acquired for a more reasonable cost than single items unless the item is unique or high priced. For example, a hand embroidered dress that is quite pricey may be offered for sale by itself instead of bundled with other basic dresses.

Now is the time to start looking for those spring and summer boutique and brand-name items, as sellers will be looking to unload their childrens clothes, so that they can in-turn purchase new items for their kids wardrobes.

You can use these tips to start looking for fall back-to-school fashions, when eBay sellers will start listing in July or August.

Don’t forget to check out my post on shopping at Goodwill Industries for bargains too!

Stay tuned for more in this childrens fashion boutique series! Subscribe to my Free Newsletter so you won’t miss out on my tips of the trade!

Let me know if you have any tricks or tips of your own that you’d like to share!

Baby Bunch Egg Nest: Unique Spring Baby Gift

Moomettes — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 02:17:45 +0000

Spring Has Sprung!

Impressive and Practical

When one speaks about shower baby gifts, it is clear they can vary from the very practical to the extremely unique.

Anyone who’s ever been invited to a baby shower knows that there’s two different kinds of presents you can give the new mom: the gifts that may impress her yet are useless, and the very practical stuff.

I’ve previously had the pleasure to let my readers know about baby gifts that are not only unique, but gorgeous and practical as well! I previously reviewed the Baby Bunch Bouquet which had been featured on Martha Stewart!

Now I’d like to let you in on another ingenious gift from Baby Bunch – The Egg Nest!

If you’re looking for a special gift for a mom-to-be, or a gift for a new baby, the Egg Nest is the perfect choice for Spring!

The Baby Egg Nest comes in both Pink for girls, and Blue for boys.

Way too cute, each nest contains 3 pairs of soft, comfortable 100 percent organic cotton baby socks –

Each Baby Egg Nest is adorned in coordinating polka-dot ribbons – blue and brown for boys; pink and brown for girls! It looks like a tiny little Easter basket!

. . . cleverly rolled to look like eggs –so precious for baby, and a handcrafted lavender scented bird sachet - perfect for the new mom. The organic cotton socks are sized to fit infants 0-6 months or up to 16 lbs. The three pairs of sock “eggs” and the mother bird sachet arrive nestled in a natural nest – a unique spin on baby sock bouquets.

The company was started by Bryony and Simon Boxer after the birth of their first son:

“The Baby Bunch combines practicality with presentation,” says Bryony Boxer, founder of The Baby Bunch along with her husband Simon Martin. “We wanted to create a gift that was attractive yet useful and offers everything a baby needs to get the best possible start in life.”

Easter is a symbol of rebirth, and is coming up soon. At Baby Bunch you’ll find gifts for Mom or Grandmom, as well as unisex gifts, girl gifts and boy gifts. Check out their Free Shipping Specials!

ABC Neckties: Affordable Affordable Mens Novelty and Fashion Ties Review

Moomettes — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:42:18 +0000

The nature of my husband’s profession doesn’t require him to wear a necktie quite often, but when he does, he cleans up quite nicely.

His sister always enjoyed picking out dress clothes for her brothers, and was quite adept at coordinating ties and shirts. After we were married, that job fell to me.

It’s an art to match the tie correctly with the rest of the clothes and the occasion.

I recently had the opportunity to review an affordable necktie from ABC Neckties, and picked one out for my charming son-in-law. While he doesn’t normally wear a necktie for his job, he and my daughter go out on the town more often than my husband and I do.

We received a Baker Silk Fashion Tie in black. It has a subtle pattern, and can easily go with a shirt of any color.

100% Silk

Bocara Label

3 1/2″ x 58″

Hand Made

Dry Clean Only

At Christmas, I purchased a tie for charming son-in-law from a well-known department store. Many of today’s top mens fashion designers such as Furmagalli, Gucci, Valentino, Armani, and Zegna have silk neck ties in their collections. I paid much more for essentially the same quality tie that ABC Neckties offers. I really was impressed by the tie we received.

You may ask how do you perfect the tricks of choosing a tie on-line?

Always buy the tie of correct length. An appropriate tie length is when the triangle tip of the tie touches the belt buckle.

Casual, regular office ties can be polyester blends, but business meetings and other occasions require silks or silk blend ties.

While a safe bet are solid colored, striped or dotted ties, the eye optician I regularly visit is a fan of Jerry Garcia ties – and ABC Neckties has a selection of those, along with:

animal print
armed service
art
Harley-Davidson
patriotic
religious, and
themed ties

Whether you’re in the market for an inexpensive new tie for that next job interview, or a gift for Father’s Day in June, ABC Neckties offers a Money Back Guarantee as well as Secure Ordering.

Custom T-Shirts for Women from VistaPrint: Get Ready for your next Fundraiser or Blog Conference!

Moomettes — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:20:50 +0000

Market Your Brand

One of the most common ways of introducing yourself to new clients is by distributing a business card.

Those who attend blogging or marketing conferences probably have received many such cards. Even moms with children in daycare, preschool or playgroups hand out mommy cards!

My husband owns his own business and one of the ways he markets and rewards his customers is by distributing custom designed t-shirts, caps and sweatshirts.

I have all my business cards printed at Vistaprint, and was delighted to find out that they now offer Custom-Printed T-Shirts for women!

What a fabulous way to market your brand and blog at conferences such as BlogHer10, tweet-ups or affiliate marketing conferences!

I received three custom printed ladies T-Shirts: a long sleeved one and two short-sleeved shirts.

Here I am wearing the long-sleeved version with my Moomette’s Magnificents logo. (Cosmetic makeup and hair products were also previous reviews!)

Cindi - Moomette

Although my blogs may be very familiar to readers in the blogosphere, now I have a way to show off my Moomettesgram’s Favorite Recipes and Moomette’s Magnificents logos when I go to the grocery store, and possibly an opportunity to then hand out my business card!

All T-Shirts are:

100% preshrunk cotton T-Shirt

Easy to design and order

Available sizes are: S, M, L, XL and XXL

If you’re going to be in a bridal shower this wedding season, have some made up for the bridesmaids in the wedding party, or as a gift for the bride-to-be for her bachelorette party!

Order for your next PTO or sports team fundraiser!

Kidorable Children’s Apparel Review

Moomettes — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:21:23 +0000

Functional and Fun

Kids Rain Coats

Both of my grandkids attend preschool now, which means going out in all kinds of inclement weather. Right now they’re wearing winter snow jackets, but soon spring will be around the corner, and that means ‘April Shower Bring May Flowers’! They’ll be in need of rain coats!

My charming son-in-law is from Vermont, and the kids often visit their grandparents up there in the spring – which is mud season!

I’ve had the opportunity to review some absolutely fun, trendy stylish rain gear for kids from Kidorable! Started in their efficiency apartment by Liping and Jonathan Domsky, Kidorable was conceived to “create children’s apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun.”

The grandkiddos were all excited when they tried on the new rain coats we were sent.

‘Lil Moomette got to try the Lucky Cat Raincoat, while Slugger tried on the Fireman Rain Coat, both of which came with matching hangers. Each rain coat had a hood for stormy days, and colorful, fun designs on the jackets that the kids delighted in.

I liked that the Rain Coats were reflectorized which makes it easier to see the kids if they’re out at night. The closures were easy to snap shut and open – although I did caution ‘Lil Moomette not to pull at the closures. I remember what happened when her own mom was young trying to get out of her rain coats!

Slugger is a bit too young to try to take is own coat on and off.

All styles are made out of PVC and have a comfortable polyester lining, and are machine washable in cold on a gentle cycle.

We have a full-time team of quality control experts assuring that our factories meet our high standards. We also regularly test the quality of our products in internationally recognized labs for lead, phthalates and other toxic substances. All Kidorable products meet or exceed all voluntary and mandatory product safety standards.

Kidorable offers sizes from 1T-6X (and larger) and offer matching ensambles:

Rain Boots
Rain Coat
Umbrellas
Backpacks
