Don't Forget My Giveaway!

Check it out here.

You still have until the end of the day tomorrow.

The super lucky winner will be announced Wednesday.

Beautiful Baby Scarves!

I kind of fancy myself the Angelina Jolie of babies, with the exception of the whole homewrecker thing. And oh yeah, I don't cut myself like she used to. But other than that, we're pretty much the same person.

That's why I'm so excited to tell you about Wwoobies by Whole World Baby. They call it "Fashion with Compassion." How fabulous is that?

Wwoobies are baby head scarves that actually stay on little noggins like mine! The company was started by three mommies who were inspired by the beautiful head wraps worn by children in Africa.

You can pick from three styles and organic, recycled or remnant fabric.

This is the Ava and is my favorite. Look how that little model baby is totally gloating about how much hair she has. Show off.

Here is the Amanda:


And the Adam:



Wwoobies range from $14.95 to $16.95. If you buy three, they'll ship them to you free.

And I saved the best for last. Twenty-five percent of the net profits go to seven different children's charities.

Wwoobies are perfect for a bad hair day. Or a no-hair day.

Essie Nail Polish Giveaway!

Happy Blogoversary to me! Two months ago today, I ordered Mommy Chick to step away from the DVR and ghost write for me.

To thank everyone for reading, we have an Essie Nail Polish giveaway. Essie is MC's absolute favorite nail polish. She says it usually lasts more than a week without chipping. I like her hands to look nice while they are doing important tasks, like bathing me and feeding me and wiping my tiny princess butt.

We love the Winter Collection. This is a four piece mini-set featuring Mint-Candy Apple, Lollipop, Rock Candy and 3 Way Glaze. I don't think the glaze has anything to do with Britney's song "Three."

MC will order this directly from Essie for you, so unfortunately, they cannot ship to PO boxes. Boo.

Here's the deal:

*For one entry, leave a comment.

*For two entries, leave a comment and become a follower (or tell me if you already are)

*For three entries, mention this giveaway on your blog and leave the link in the comments section. You know you want to. All the cool babies are doing it.

We'll close the giveaway Tuesday at midnight. The winner will be chosen by random-dot-org.

Got it?

Patrick Dempsey!

Paging Jealous McMonkey!

So while I was hanging out this afternoon watching Baby Einstein for the 37-thousandth time, my friends Brendan and Patrick were big ballin' at Daytona International Speedway with McDreamy!

B & P's mom, Jen, works in television news and sometimes gets to cover Patrick Dempsey when he is town racing. And by "cover," I mean interview him and pose for pictures with him. And probably giggle with delight. I would definitely giggle.

You can read about her adventures in TV and life here.

Too bad he is hiding his glorious locks under that hat. I would really only want to meet him if I could see his hair, or maybe just sniff it a little, so I'm kind of glad I didn't go today. Really. I am.

Crib Couture

How I love the internet! This morning it led me to the mother ship: Glamajama. Its a hip clothing line with the motto "From the crib to the catwalk."

Glamajama was started five years ago by a mommy who couldn't find edgy, glam clothes for her new baby, so lucky for us, she designed her own!

I am so getting this Sassy Poodle Onesie. It has a flattering little ruffle on the ba-donk-a-donk. I have to admit I'm a bit confused. When I poop in my panties, MC asks me if I have a "poodle in my pants." Apparently, a poodle is a pink sparkly dog. I assure you that is not what is in my pants, but I digress. This onesie is $30.

For you rockin' little dudes, check out this tee. For just $28, you can look like a paste-eating bad boy.

And for the mommies who are tired of yoga pants and shelf tanks, here's a little sass. This Mom Tattoo Tee is $30 and will elevate you to MILF status.

New Native Doll Sling

One of the highlights of my recent trip was chillaxin' with my cousin, Banana. She is simply fabulous. In fact, I'm considering yanking her out of school and employing her as my nanny. She is what my Nana would call "a good worker."

Here, I'll use it in a sentence for you:

Nana: "I hired Bob from down the street to clean out the garage. He is a good worker."

Or...

Nana: "I will never hire John's Plumbing again. Those guys were not very good workers."

Anna loved feeding me on my Boppy and helping Mommy Chick change my diapers. My Auntie Dill was telling MC that since we left, Banana has been cosleeping with her dolls and feeding them on couch pillows. And she loved jaunting around town with me in my sling.

So I'm pretty excited about this little gem: New Native makes doll slings!

They're $19 and I think I will send her one for her birthday in April!

Remember, you can also help mommies who cannot afford slings by visiting New Native's Friends of Bonding. Everyone should have the opportunity to wear their baby...it is truly the ultimate accessory!

Strasburg Dresses on Sale

You guys know that I'm still new to this "living on the outside" thing, so sometimes Mommy Chick and I need a little guidance. That's where my Auntie Dill comes in handy. She has two monkeys of her own, ages six and ten. So when we were visiting her last week, she took us to Dillards to check out their Strasburg sale. Apparently, they are a must-have for chic little ladies.

MC and I immediately spied this silk turquoise Chloe dress. I think it will really make my eyes POP in my four month photo shoot. It's part of the Holiday Collection, but since it doesn't have a big Elf head on it, I'm comfortable wearing it now.

Because it is considered a seasonal item, I scored it for $36. If you go to the Strasburg website, it is $71.98 marked down fro $129.

You know the best part of these Strasburg dresses? They make matching dresses for American Girl dolls. The America Girl marketing people are genius. I so cannot wait to bankrupt MC and Daddy Dude by coordinating with all my dolls.

The matching Chloe doll dress is on sale for $23.98 from $43.00. The website says it fits "popular 18 inch dolls" and will "make special memories." Hee hee, special memories of food stamps.

I saw MC measuring our Shih Tzu, Piglet Faberge. He should be very, very afraid.
