More Tees Please
www.rustybumperworld.com

I’ve always been a bit envious of men’s clothing. One glance at my wardrobe and it’s evident I’m not the girly girl type. Most days I can be seen in a pair of jeans and a tee, kept fresh with my deep seeded love for accessorizing. My passion for hip tees is what spawned my envy of the men’s department, with its taunting allure of t-shirts in flattering colors (black, brown, gray, etc) embellished with uber-hip designs like skulls, eagles, and the like. My fiancé’s collection of tees alone had me green with envy, and now my son’s wardrobe is beginning to have the same effect, thanks to the awesome new line of baby tees from Rusty Bumper.

As my quest for t-shirts for myself continues, I’ve discovered my new shopping weakness: filling Aiden’s wardrobe with hip tees from RustyBumper. Their t-shirts are beyond cool for little boys. Carrying black and brown high quality t-shirts and onesies featuring their signature Rusty Bumper graphics, your little one will look adorable sporting any one of the designs in this line. So adorable, in fact, you’ll wish they made these tees in your size.

Rusty Bumper is an obvious choice for little boys, but can also make a refreshing addition to any trendy baby girl’s wardrobe. The styles come in both t-shirt and onesie sizes ranging from newborn to 4T. Designed by a Stay-at-Home mother of two (a boy and a girl), the Rusty Bumper line is a clear indication that moms know best!

One lucky Peekaboo Picks Reader will win a black Rusty Bumper Onesie (size 3-6 months). Sign-up for our free newsletter by May 15th to be eligible to win this fabulous swag.

I Heart Art
www.lollipopkisses.com

As Editor of an online magazine dedicated to reviewing the latest in baby gear, apparel and accessories, you can imagine the amount of product that is delivered to my door. Yes, the UPS man and I are on a first name basis and yes, I’m sure my neighbors think I am the ultimate bored housewife with a serious QVC addiction. But regardless of what the Jones’s are saying, the fact is I am the happy recipient of some of the highest quality baby and toddler products on the market. This being the case, you would assume my son’s bedroom would be amazing and designed to the nines, but the truth of the matter is, his walls are barren and the few decorations he does have are rather impersonal. That is, however, until Chris (the UPS man) came knocking on my door bearing one of my favorite deliveries to date, postmarked from one of my favorite online boutiques, Lollipop Kisses.

If you’ve yet to visit this amazing boutique, all I can say is be ready to say, “Oh, I HAVE to get that for Aiden (insert your child’s name here)!” with every click. The owners of Lollipop Kisses have impeccable taste and shopping on their site is like finding all of your favorites in one location- which is such a convenience for us time-crunched mommies. Carrying everything from posh diaper bags to ingenious baby gifts, you’ll find it all at Lollipop Kisses (and you’ll want it all too!)

Perhaps what most impresses me about this online boutique. and what sets them apart from the hundreds of others I’ve visited, is their wide selection of children’s art. They are the exclusive store for several brand names, including Zaffadillo Artwork by Cassy Carlson. It was one of these delightful paintings, personalized and framed for Aiden that was delivered to my door. You can only imagine my excitement.

Aiden’s painting now hangs proudly above his changing table and really makes the room. As for the rest of the decor? Well, let’s just say I made sure to bookmark all of my favorites from Lollipop Kisses for my fiancé (just in time for Mother’s Day too!)

Peekaboo Picks is thrilled to be gifting one lucky reader with a Fairy Princesses art piece by Zaffadillo provided by Lollipop Kisses. To be eligible, you must be a subscribed Peekaboo Picks reader by May 15th (subscription is absolutely free-visit our sign-up page for more information.)

Rock On!
www.cribrockcouture.com

Music plays a major role at our household. Enough so, that we’ve previously dedicated an entire issue of Peekaboo Picks to the glory of Rock N’Roll and it’s influence on the world of baby products. Aiden has been infiltrated with rock (more modern than classical at this home) since conception and we continue to expose him to our favorite tunes. I’m a firm believer that what you wear is a reflection of who you are (no matter how big or small you are) so I’m always on the lookout for rock related gear for Aiden.

One of the cutest lines I’ve come across, and unmatched in terms of quality and original design, is the Crib Rock Couture line. When it comes to rockin’ attire, the creators at Crib Rock Couture certainly know what they’re doing and let’s face it; you know if Angelina’s Maddox is running around in these tees, your little rocker will be in stylish company.

The clever twist of classic nursery rhymes into modern apparel is the essence of Crib Rock Couture and what makes mothers like me such a fan. Offering sizes from infant to tweens, you can continue to dress your child fashionably for his/her entire young life.

Visit Crib Rock Couture today to find the perfect tee for your little rocker.

Let’s Hear it for the Boy!
www.littlelubbaloo.com

There was a time when expecting a little boy (rather than a little girl) sent thoughts of “now I don’t get to buy all the cute clothes,” through many an expectant mother’s mind. Lucky for us mothers of boys, however, that notion is quickly dissolving and new clothing lines are emerging that cater just to our little men with boyish threads that could rival any pretty party dress. One of my absolute favorite lines for Aiden is the RumbleFox line by Little Lubbaloo.

I had a chance to meet with the designer behind the fabulous RumbleFox and meet her handsome little boy Fox, who the line is named after. Of course, Fox was sporting clothes from his mother’s chic line, and was looking quite dapper. The RumbleFox line is all about casual cool. Soft knit polo shirts in stylish colors create a groovy, beach vibe when paired with the line’s casual linen pants or more sporty cargos. There’s also a great selection of tees from kitschy logo tees to retro hued tees featuring urban inspired designs. From the beach to the streets, your boy will be a little pillar of coolness in these fresh duds from RumbleFox.

Aiden loves wearing his RumbleFox clothes and I love seeing him in them. I’m even planning to have him wear his RumbleFox pants in our wedding. The light blue linen color is the perfect choice for our Maui nuptials.

The RumbleFox line can be viewed at LittleLubbaloo.com or visit the FunDayShop.com to buy any of these styles directly.

Bake me a Treat
www.kidscentralkitchen.com

My transition to motherhood was more like a sudden jolt from the single girl life, living off of lattes and snack items from the coffee shop I managed and going weeks without buying groceries, to suddenly having a family and a lifestyle I needed to provide nourishment to. The empty cupboards in my kitchen and the exorbitant cost of eating out every night were not going to fly when our two became three. Over the last few months I’ve begun to experience a little more in the kitchen, attempting to cook healthy dinners and even dabbling in some baking. While I love the idea of having fresh baked banana bread or chocolate chip cookies for my family, I don’t love the idea of serving treats high in hydrogenated oils and fructose corn syrup.

In steps a new company, Kids Central Kitchen with a wonderful line of natural, whole grain baking mixes that are not only easy for us newbies but also incredibly yummy, even by picky kid standards. The mixes have no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Sound too healthy to taste good? I thought so too but after baking my first batch of Swinging Monkey Banana Bread, I was a quick convert to this delectable brand.

I also love that this family run company promotes a healthy and active lifestyle for kids (and adults too). With childhood obesity running ramped these days, its inspiring to find a company that not only promotes a healthier way of living, but also provides a line of products that encourages the family to spend time together in the kitchen creating delicious, and healthy snacks. They also have created snacks that give kids the kind of energy they need to enjoy an active and fruitful life.

Be sure to visit KidsCentralKitchen.com to purchase their line of baking mixes as well as fun bake ware and utensils, and to get some awesome recipe ideas.

Baby Cakes by Zen Momma

I am a self-proclaimed beauty product junkie. Before I was a mother, it was a counter full of expensive perfumes and lotions that were in constant rotation due to my many nights out on the town. When I entered the realm of motherhood, I found myself in search of more natural products, looking for lotions and potions that were made from pure ingredients that both my baby and I could enjoy. My search led me to a wonderful company with an amazing product line, ZenMomma.com.

The Baby Cakes line by Zen Momma is a high quality line of products for baby (and don’t be surprised if you find yourself using them too!) Designed by a mother who found a need for pure, high quality bath products for her newborn son with allergies and numerous sensitivities, the Baby Cakes line is sure to add a little Zen to your baby’s bath time rituals.

I especially love the Baby Cakes Rear Repair & Over There ULTRA cream which has been an absolute life savor when it comes to the dreaded diaper rash. Just a dab of this thick, creamy lotion made from pure herbal extracts and essential oils and your little one will feel instantly soothed.

One lucky Peekaboo Picks Reader will win a very special gift from Baby Cakes by Zen Momma. The gift set includes a full size bottle of the luxurious Baby Cakes Shampoo, a signature Baby Cakes rubber ducky, and a variety of samples from this wonderful product line.
