It happens every year and gets bigger and more fabulous every year: The ABC Show in Las Vegas - an industry trade show where manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and inspired individuals show off their latest and greatest products in all things baby!

Since October is SIDS awareness month, we wanted to highlight the Halo Cotton Sleepsack. This wearable blanket reduces the risk of your baby “rebreathing” (the inhalation of carbon dioxide which has been associated as a possible cause of sudden infant death syndrome). The Sleepsack allows your baby to stay safe, warm and comfy cozy all night. We believe that if baby is sleeping safe and sound, you will be too! Where to find it! |

Say good-bye to oversized, bulky backpacks for your wee ones. The Dabbawalla Bags’ vibrant graphics and functional simplicity put them in a category all their own. Whether it’s the “Holy Cow,” the “Go Fetch,” or any of the colorful and oh-so-cute designs, this durable, neoprene, and pvc-free collection is practical and practically impossible to resist.

Transforming a dude into a dad is apparently not as easy as our hubbies made it look. That’s why we LOVE this new DVD called Being Dad. The disc highlights the Dad experience in a funny, touching, and surprisingly emotional way that features 40 Dads and 6 experts on the 9-month journey towards daddydom. It was a huge success in Australia where it all began, probably because it doesn’t push an agenda and it’s not a how-to guide. It’s simply good entertainment. Where to find it! |

The Booda Brand of clothing is all about good karma. From the onesies to the tees, each item has an inspiring message that sparks not just your child’s imagination, but a conversation too. For example, when you buy the “Peace” tee-shirt, you’re also buying into the hope that one day the world will see a lasting peace amongst its citizens. The clothes are organic, and the company donates a book to a child in need with each purchase, making Booda Brand a gift to us all.

The Bumble Collection never fails to deliver as proven with designer and founder Jennie Lynn Johanson’s latest addition, The Honey Collection. The highlight for us was the Queen Bee bag - an Italian leather, gold-plated hardware extravaganza in both black and chocolate that is truly buzz worthy. The Baby Planners' philosophy is that every new parent should carry a diaper bag that makes them feel fabulous - this collection does all that and more.
