An Inside Look with The Babyplanners

 
 


As The Baby Planners, moms, and shopping enthusiasts, we’re always on the lookout for fab new finds... we look forward to sharing them with you here!

Just Buzzin' By!

These FUNctional meal time accessories for tiny tots are fun, fashionable, and best of all, non-toxic. Just Buzzin’ By splat mats, place mats, and bibs keep messes to a minimum and are ever so versatile. Easy to clean, you can even use the splat mat as extra protection from paint, markers, clay, and more during art projects. But best of all, Just Buzzin’ By products are free of PVC, phthalates and lead, and if that’s not enough, a portion of the sale of every product goes to a select group of children's charities. This line of swank products is definitely worth the buzz!

Goosie Cards

Goosie Cards are a simple, creative, and modern approach to good old fashioned flash cards. Every set can be personalized using your own photos and text so each card is unique and specific to your own family. Their gift sets are all created with beautiful, real life photos from “head to toe” to “ABC’s” to “trucks & tractors” and everything in between. These big cards for little hands are laminated for easy cleaning and they’re made from heavy enough card stock that they feel indestructible! We think they’re fab!

 Puddle Jumper Shoes

Gotta love an adorable shoe that is not only cute but also comfy! Carrie Miner, the mother to two shoe-loving little girls, created this line so that “children not only look good, but feel good about themselves.” The European styling combined with bold colors make these shoes a wardrobe essential for babies and toddlers alike. We also love the fact that a portion of Puddle Jumper’s annual profits support orphanages worldwide. This children’s footwear line focuses on style, quality, comfort, and affordability – now if only they made shoes for mommy!
