Holy smokes it’s been awhile! Let’s just say the summer got
away from us. With three kids under three between the two of us, it’s been hard to find the time to do much of anything this summer but hang out in
the sunshine with our little munchkins.
But fall is fast approaching and we’re all set to start bringing you fabulous finds once
again. Although, we have switched things up just a bit…
Basically, we’ve decided to make things easier on us and for you by
delivering all of our finds in one weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox every Tuesday. How convenient is that?
Each newsletter will feature our Peekaboo Picks of the week along with our Rain or Shine Finds and we’ll even throw in some Hip Happenings just for
fun!
So we hope you enjoy this first edition of the new Peekaboo Picks!

Back to School
Cool
September means back to school! Woot! Okay, so our sprouts aren’t old enough to be climbing on any school
buses just yet but if they were we’d be sure to outfit them in one of these adorable animal backpacks from the always fabulous SkipHop.
Available in Monkey, Mouse, Penguin and Dog. We can’t decide which one we love the most!

get organized this fall? Aren’t we all! No seriously, we are really trying this time. Lucky for both of us,
we’ve discovered the Lullaboard! It is everything we both love and need: stylish, mom designed, and super functional!

good about your Back-to-School purchases this year? O’Bon is a line of eco-friendly school and office supplies that we love.

environmentally friendly school supplies.

For the Little Monkeys
We can’t
resist newborn clothes, it’s kind of a problem. Little outfits like this striped number from Funky Little Munky just make our ovaries hurt.
We’re especially digging the chocolate and lime green combo, perfect for a little boy or girl! And it doesn’t get any cuter
than preppy stripes on a wee little one.

I Can Do It All By Myself!
We
know a certain 3-year old who is discovering his independence. Sound familiar? We actually love the idea of kids taking more control of
their day and Easy Daysies has been a lifesaver in that department.
An innovative product of magnetic daily “activities” that
your child can play with on the fridge (or any magnetic surface). We can’t say enough about this great mom invented product!

Rain or Shine Finds:
Going Green With Baby
Jennifer Lo Prete and Melissa Moog have done it again! It seems like these savvy moms can do
no wrong. They recently published a great book, Itsabelly’s Guide to Going Green With Baby – Mom-Tested Tips For a Healthy Baby and Happy Planet.
This book was very relate-able with personal stories and honest opinions on the vast selection of natural products that are now available. The book is broken
down in specific chapters that can direct you to an individual item that you may have questions about, which is very handy for quick referencing. The girls
took the time to find all of the safest and eco-friendliest products so that you won’t have to spend hours at your computer doing the research. I
have read my share of Green Baby Books and this was the first one that covered all of my questions on how to
raise my baby Au Natural. Another consistent message in this book is safety first. It’s great to incorporate the green theme as much as possible but we never
want to put our baby’s safety at risk. The girls included all sorts of Eco Mom Tips so that you can be as safe and green as possible.

Oh The Joys of
Teething!
Got a teething baby on your hands? Unfortunately for babies and
parents, teething is a long, slow, painful, drawn out process. Luckily, Baby Bunz has a huge selection of natural teething aids to help out. A must
have is the Hyland’s Homeopathic Teething Tablets. These little white tablets dissolve on baby’s tongue and the natural Chamomilla instantly soothes
irritability and swollen gums. It is a great alternative to some of the topical gels that are out there and can numb your child’s entire mouth with Benzocaine.
In the teething toy department, be sure to pick up a Rainbow Baby. They combine the best of both worlds, a soft, colorful baby and a wooden, beeswax
coated ring that baby can chew on and persuade the tooth to break through. When your baby grows out of the teething phase, the ring can be removed and continue
to play with the sweet, Waldorf inspired baby doll.
