Safe swimming

I just ordered these Schlori cotton swim floaties for my daughter since summer is upon us. They are free of pesticides, mercury, lead and other harmful substances that plastic floaties can contain.

Sun, Sun, go away

I was given a Flap Happy sunhat as a hand-me-down before my daughter was born and the day she outgrew it was a sad one. Luckily Amazon.com carries a wide selection of prints, both for boys and girls. The best part about these hats is that they have very large brims, which I find most baby hats do not have. I also love that they're 100% cotton. Even though polyester makes for good sun protection, it's hot and it's, well, polyester. The tie strings on these are easier to size than velcro ones too.
