Plummers

Everyone's talking about Joe the Plumber these days, but here's what I think of when I hear the word Plummer:

Camizon Twin Bed



Waimea Bay Oahu Hawaii Graphic


Duxbury Entertainment Wall


Stellar Round Lounge Sofa


CEO 3-Piece Desk


Clement Bar

Visit the Plummers website or stores for the quality contemporary designed furniture that is both functional and affordable.

Newly Designed Website

I am so excited to announce that my website has a fresh look. Thanks to @mikeward of Mike Ward Design, my Happy Healthy Hip Parenting site is finally, truly hip!

Coming soon - the same fresh look at a new and improved blog site. There's always room for improvement so if there are any suggestions that you may have regarding the website or this blog, please let me know.

Proud Body

I wish I had known about this belly-casting kit when I was pregnant with my son. I loved being pregnant and was even brave enough to wear a bikini on the beach when I was nearly six months pregnant (and unable to see my feet).

Proud Body is the original creator of these pregnancy art kits which are keepsake works of art which capture that precious time when baby was lovingly carried inside mommy's belly.

The Belly Cast Kit comes with everything you need including detailed instructions. It takes just 30 - 40 minutes and, after its dry, you can decorate it in any way imaginable!

You can also purchase the Belly Painting Kit to turn your pregnant belly into a work of art by painting right on your belly. Or you can easily apply one of the Tummy Tatts, and show off that expecting belly!

Visit the online gallery to find inspirational ideas for your own creation.

Purchase your belly cast, painting kit, or temporary tattoos today!

Combi

I am amazed at all of these beautifully designed products that I never knew about when my son was young enough to use them.

Combi makes a 3-in-1 high chair, booster chair and toddler seat that is trendy in design and functional, lightweight and easy to use and move.

Don't miss their adorable activity walker (which looks like a car) or their pod bouncer (available in three colors: mandarin, chili or wasabi).

Itzy Ritzy

Itzy Ritzy introduces this luxe, eco-friendly line that is all the rage for discerning parents and tots.

Besides their infant seat covers, their product line also includes shopping cart & high chair covers, designer blankets, and eco-friendly burp cloths.

Even the packaging is visually appealing. The items come inside sleek paint cans for an additional design element that caters to those hip parents and grandparents looking for a unique product as unique as their child.

Snuggle Me'z

Introducing a new way to take your baby out in style. Protect baby from the elements, like rain, wind, sun, bugs, or use it during nap time.

New from Kid Kustoms

Normally I don't promote companies who purposely mutilate the English language but Kid Kustoms are so kool that I couldn't help but post about their latest product as soon as I discovered them tonight.

The new Roddler is krazy in its unique design and kool in just how modern it truly is. State-of-the-art, kustom krafted and safety-tested, I may have to have a new baby just so I can buy one of these, although I'm sure my four-year-old boy wouldn't mind kruising around in one of these!

Since the new Roddler will be featured at the upcoming ABC Kids Expo event in Las Vegas, I'll be sure to take up close photos of the sleek and (dare I say) sexy stroller for hip moms, dads and babies everywhere.

Alloy Fall Preview

I just received the latest ALLOY catalog in the mail. I love their shoes and tees. Here are just a few of my faves:

(I love the fact that these are called the Trophy Wife Wedge)

Those who know me will understand my desire to remain a tomboy (with the tees) but my need to act my age (hence the sexy stilettos).

You're Invited!

These days, cell phones, MP3 players and even sneakers are stylish, personalized and technologically progressive. So why are online invitations so stubbornly stuck in the past? This simple realization was the genesis behind pingg. pingg begins where others leave off seamlessly fusing style, design and customization with robust delivery and management features.

• Create an actual invitation, as opposed to a mere link to a webpage, by choosing from a variety of unique images that reflect your own personal taste, including our Designer Series. Or you can upload your own images for a more personal touch.


• Choose to send invitations via ONE or ALL of pingg’s methods- email, print (pingg will print, stamp and mail the invitations to your selected guests), sms/text, or easily share it with your social network. By integrating online and print invitations, pingg makes it easy to reach your guests in a variety of ways, while managing all guest replies online.

• Customize your event webpage by uploading photos or videos, writing longer personalized messages and attaching additional information about the event. pingg also has advanced features for gift & charity registries, money collection and ticketing.


• Manage all RSVPs, lists, guest messaging, follow-ups, reminders, last minute changes and Thank You notes efficiently and easily from one place.

Shopping for the New GNR8tion

Generate Design carries some fabulous products for your home, including unique items for the children's play area. While many of their products are out of my price range, they're still fun to dream about.
