It's not a Mohawk!

Many of our friends who do not see JD on a daily basis and have recently seen pictures of him, keep asking if JD has a mohawk! I guess because we see him everyday, we don't really think of it as a mohawk, to us it's more like a comb over. So I'm writing this post to clear up the misconception about JD's hair; it's not a mohawk! JD has actually never had a haircut, his hair just happens to only grow in that area of his head. My hubby's barber keeps asking when JD is coming in for his first haircut and I'm starting to wonder the same thing. Does anyone know where I can get some baby Rogain?

Little Tunes MP3 Boom Box

JD loves to dance and every evening before he gets ready for bed we have a dance party in our living room! JD usually dances around with my old iPod shuffle or my iPhone during our dance parties, but he can be really picky about what's playing and we have to constantly change the songs for him; so Ive been looking for a toddler friendly alternative, that is easy for him use and I think I may have found it. Today I stopped at my local Tuesday Morning during lunch and I stumbled across the Little Tunes MP3 Boom Box, I quickly did some research on my iPhone and found that it had great reviews and was selling elsewhere for twice as much, so I bought it and he loved it!


Retail: $42.00-$69.00
I paid: $19.99 at Tuesday Morning
  • Bring the wonderful world of music to your child with the Little Tunes Digital MP3 boom box.

  • Interactive toy boasts 20 pre-recorded songs for children to enjoy right out the box.

iPhone App: Hipstamatic Camera

Thanks to Crissy of Dear Crissy, I now have one of the coolest iPhone apps ever (at least I think so), Hipstamatic! While following Crissy's twitter I notice her really amazing Hipstamatic pictures and well I just had to get the app for myself. Crissy has also started Hipstamom, a blog that features personal and community-submitted photos taken using the Hipstamatic Application for iPod Touch & iPhone. Check out these cool pictures I took with the Hipstamatic iPhone camera; to see more of my Hipstamatic pictures you can follow me on tumblr.

HomeGoods: Berkshire Robots Throw Blanket

This is probably one of my favorite HomeGoods finds, not only because it's so cuddly soft and perfect for JD's Robot room, but because JD himself has grown very fond of it. When I first purchased this blanket I thought about putting it away until JD's room was complete; but JD took one look at it and now it's his favorite blankie. I've recently stopped in at HomeGoods and although I haven't come across the robot print again, they do have the same cuddly soft blanket in other prints available.

Retail: $30.00 
I paid: $14.99 at HomeGoods

Mygrafico.com on HWTM

I just had to share the Mygrafico.com post from Hostess With The Mostess, because it's not only one of my personal favorite websites, but is definitely an incredible resource for all your graphics needs! I first came across Mygrafico.com when planning JD's 1'st birthday party and I've been hooked ever since, especially since they're cute, inexpensive, easy to use and you get them almost instantly. Please visit HWTM for her awesome feature on Mygrafico.com today. Here are a few of my recent purchases, I bought them all during their 40% off sale a couple of weeks ago.

Hip In A Hurry: Vinyl Robot Décor

I recently stopped by Michaels and came across  Hip In A Hurry Vinyl. HIH Vinyl is part of a collection of products that allow you to create personalized home décor…easily! It is a thin, removable DESIGNER VINYL that you can apply to almost any surface. I was intrigued not only by their fun and artistic designs but also by their price; much less than the online companies I’ve purchased from before and they even had a robot collection!
