Happy New Year! As we celebrate a brand new decade, I would like to look back and recap on my favorite products from 2009. These are things I cannot live without, some are luxuries but all of these make my life as a mommy better!
One of the best inventions of all time! We all want fresh and nutritious food for our tots, but who has the time? This Beaba Baby Cook does all the work for you, just throw in the washed produce and it will steam and puree it for you. This is not a luxury, it is a necessity!! Beaba Baby Cook for $149.
Do not even consider getting on a plane with a car seat unless you have a new born under 9 months. This 5-point harness seat belt will save your sanity and make your travel actually pleasant! For $74.95.
I thought Pediped Originals were the best things on earth until they came out with Pediped Flex for toddlers. Super cute and incredibly comfortable. The best part, the insoles that come out as your tot grows so you get extended wear by one whole size! That is serious value because we all have barely worn shoes that were outgrown before they made it out the door. Prices range from $39-45 depending on style.
Oh how I love this line! Original, spunky and more style than my own wardrobe. My tots always look their best while glowing with their own personalities in Right Bank Babies designs. I have to stop though, they are starting to look like paid models for the line!
Chasing Fireflies – Best website ever! You will find so many treasures from clothing to gear to unique toys. The only problem is, they do not tell you the designers of their products are you are pretty much stuck buying from them. Luckily, they have great customer service and their prices are great, with incredible sales!! They take care of me so I just make my life easy by going to them first.
Nalgene Tritan Grip-N-Gulp BPA-Free Water Bottle
Sentimental jewelry becomes even more special as a mom. But you have to be careful because there are some really bad cheesy photo pendants and lockets. Monica Rich Kosann is real precious jewelry, the details are exact and delicate for pieces that are worthy of a Jewel Snob.
Take a look at the collection.
I have a pile of blankets that is higher than the height of my closet. And that pile pretty much stays untouched because the only blankets I end up using are the Little Giraffes. They are soft, lightweight, thin and as comfortable as a cloud. Hands down the best gifts for a baby shower.
At Layla Grayce for $78

I have 6 strollers so I know what I’m talking about. This Uppa Baby is the best. The reason I have so many strollers is because there was not ONE that fit all my needs. Sometimes I’m going for a long walk so I need the performance of the Bugaboo, other times I need my Maclaren Volo for it’s lightweight and easy collapse features for the New York subway. Then there are those days you know your tot will fall asleep so you need one that reclines. The scenarios are endless but this Uppa Baby seems to handle them all with ease. For $669.99 at Uppa Baby.
Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)
I am pretty sure most parents already have the Flip but in case you don’t, get one immediately. You will never miss another YouTube moment every again with this tiny 2 oz HD camera that takes up less room in your bag than 2 tubes of lip gloss. The picture quality is amazing, truly HD and easy easy easy to operate. And for $149.99, it is an easy sell.
