From [BUMP] a Mommy and Daddy [BUMP] T-shirt - Valued at $42 each

[BUMP] babies Inc started the day I found out I was pregnant. It's a feeling that every first-time mum can relate to. There was a transition time in the first trimester when no one could tell if I was pregnant or if I lost my gym membership and was binging on ice cream & chocolate! I wanted to scream “I’m not fat...[BUMP] on board!” to everyone that stared at my changing body. Little did I know it takes at least 4 to 5 months until the [BUMP] finally pops and people could actually tell I had a “[BUMP] in the oven”.

I could not find any hip maternity clothes that catered for that awkward, yet exciting time so I decided to proudly show the whole world my [BUMP] by wearing it on my expanding belly so there was definitely no confusion. I am excited to share my [BUMP] designs which are fun, sexy, stylish, comfortable and simply [bump]alicious with other proud expecting mamas & papas.

From Baby Town, USA - A L'Bri Body Scrub Valued at $16

Exfoliating Facial & Body Scrub Gently exfoliate and have clearer, smoother skin! As we age, cell renewal slows down, allowing dry, lifeless cells to remain on the skin's surface longer, creating a dull, tired look and contributing to skin problems. This remarkable, skin refining formula gentle lifts tired, dull surface cells and imbedded impurities from the skin without damaging or scratching delicate tissues. I love the scrub because it's excellent for dry skin. The scrub removes the dry "flakes" without causing further dryness. It's also great for oily skin as it helps remove excess oils. This wonderful exfoliator contains Aloe Vera, Honey, Sodium Hyaluronate, complex seaweed extracts, Vitamins A, C, E, herbal extracts, and essential oils of: Lemongrass, Geranium, Clary Sage, Chamomile, and Violet Leaves. The scrub encourages cell renewal and leaves skin looking and feeling fresher, healthier, and clearer. Read more about this natural scrub in the skin care article: Naturally Exfoliate Your Skin. Not only will it work wonders for your face, it's also a great body product, gently exfoliating all those rough areas like elbows, feet, and knees.

From Bjort & Company: The Eye Patch Kids DVD

This DVD is designed to take the pressure off the parents and to put it on the puppets. Throughout the DVD, we encourage your child to put on their eye patches so they can be cool like the puppets. The DVD informs children that wearing an eye patch helps their lazy eye get better and to listen to their parents by not taking off the eye patch until they are told to. By wearing their eye patch, they also become part of the special "Eye Patch Group" and get to make the "Eye Patch Promise" with Princess and the Bjorts. This DVD can also be used for other eye conditions that require children to wear an eye patch. The Eye Patch Kids" are proud to announce being a recipient of the 2005 Telly Awards.

From Chicks n Chickens: Lullaby Workout DVD

Chief chick Darcy Novo Albrecht was born to move and groove. She turned her first cartwheel at age two and kept rolling through the next 26 years with gymnastics, aerobics, and cheerleading-including six years as a national instructor, choreographer, and judge for the National Cheerleaders Association. Darcy then got her BA in Business, had a rewarding career in advertising and married Oliver. Reed, her first chicken, arrived shortly thereafter and she chose to stay at home. With no time for the gym and a restless baby at hand, Darcy started dancing around the house to get him to sleep...and the idea for chicks-n-chickens Lullaby Exercises was hatched. Her second little chicken, Nolan, arrived a couple of years later and, as a result, the workout was perfected. In Lullaby Exercises, Darcy uses her decades of fitness experience to creatively give moms what they and their babies need most—toning, soothing, bonding, and sleep.

Lullaby Exercises is a series of fun, easy-to-learn movements—dancing, swaying, stretching & relaxing—that are performed while holding a baby in your arms or in a baby carrier. It’s designed for new moms to share moments with their baby, put a little one to sleep, and to feel good emotionally and physically.

From Kind Notes: A Kind Notes pre-made Jar Valued at $33.95

How often do you receive letters from someone in your life (forget about all the bills and advertising pieces that bombard your mail box)? Do you remember it feeling more personal in comparison to a quickly drafted e-mail? Maybe you didn’t notice it then, but the Founder of KindNotes™ certainly did and remembers those moments.

The first idea of KindNotes began four years ago as a gift the Founder had made for her then-boyfriend-now-husband. She thought about the pleasant feeling of receiving a personal letter in the mail each day, but soon-after thought the long letters might just scare him away instead! So she wrote 31 short notes onto small pieces of paper, stuffed them into plain miniature envelopes and put them in an embellished jar. Her husband then began each day with a note that made him smile.

This Kind Notes collection of petite decorative envelopes & papers, constructed of durable cardstock, are perfectly sized for your jar of messages. With exceptional quality, they're great for sending random notes: place one under a glass of wine, underneath the pillow or even under a shoe!

From Michelle LaRowe: Her new book Working Mom's 411

Michelle is the 2004 International Nanny Association Nanny of the Year. A career nanny specializing in caring for twins, Michelle has over a decade of professional childcare experience.

Although she holds a bachelor of science degree in chemistry and a certificate in pastoral studies, she enjoys her work as a professional nanny, freelance writer and as a parenting consultant.

"A must-read for every working mom. LaRowe gives moms confidence and chutzpa, plus it's chock full o' nuggets to excel both at home and work. As CEO of a corporation and mother to two grown children, I related to the challenges addressed in Working Mom's 411. I only wish it had been released before my kids were grown!"

Dianna Booher
CEO of Booher Consultants and author of Ten Smart Moves for Women Who Want to Succeed In Love and Life

From Jill Starishevsky: Her new book My Body Belongs to Me

Safety Star Media is pleased to announce the publication of My Body Belongs to Me, its much anticipated, critically acclaimed book by New York City child abuse and sex crimes prosecutor Jill Starishevsky.

Using her decade of experience, Ms. Starishevsky has crafted a book that speaks to children - it makes them aware that when it comes to their bodies, there are boundaries. It assures them that it’s OK to tell a parent or teacher if someone touches their “private parts.”

Geared toward children ages 3-10, it tells the story of a child who is touched by an uncle's friend and tells a parent. Children will respond to the rhyming text and bright illustrations. Parents and educators will find it a vital tool to initiate a lifesaving dialogue.

From Wett Giggles: A fun scented soap with scrub brush Valued at $10

This product was inspired by Karen St. Clair's six year old son’s dirty little finger nails. She's into good hygiene and giving her son a fun tool to help with that was her goal.

The Soap and toy concept has been done before but Karen wanted to re- create that concept. So her thinking was to add a nail brush to the soap thus giving a new look to an old idea. All of the Wett Giggles animals have Shakespearean theme names. Why? I loved reading Shakespeare during my school years. There are nine Wett Giggles in total. All but two come with the manicure nail brush. The two without are geared for the 2-3 year olds. I named the product Wett Giggles because of the wet smiles children often get when washing their hands.

A nail brush encased in soap. Wett Giggles a fun sudsy soap that encourages good hygiene. A perfect party gift for kids. Wett Giggles has been awarded a "Favorite Website" by Parenting Magazine.

From Baby Town, USA - A Cup Couture High Fashion Thermal Sleeve Valued at $16

When over the top is where you love to spend your time, be sure to take Madison. Black faux mink with hot pink lining. Cupcoats are an eco-chic alternative to the cardboard sleeves typically used on paper cups to insulate your hands from your hot beverage. Instead of cardboard or 'double-cupping', add a dash of fashion to your hot coffee and tea experience with a Cupcoat by Cup Couture.

Not only are they wonderfully insulating, but they are designed to be used over and over indefinitely. When you don't have time to keep a mug handy or washed, consider using a Cupcoat.

Cupcoats help make your extra-hot no foam skinny peppermint latte a whole lot sweeter!

From Jenna McCarthy: Her new book The Parent Trip: From high heels and parties to highchairs and potties Valued at $14.95

Described by reviewers as “hilariously funny,” “whip-smart” and “utterly original,” The Parent Trip is a candid look at the wild ride into parenthood.

Jenna McCarthy is an internationally published writer and author of The Parent Trip and Cheers to the New Mom/Dad! Jenna McCarthy’s work has appeared in more than fifty magazines, on dozens of websites and in several anthologies including the popular Chicken Soup series (for which she was never paid but she’s not bitter because she has met Jack Canfield in person and he is very nice and she is sure it was just an oversight).

During one two-year period of possible insanity, she decided to capitalize on her insomnia and accepted a position as co-host of Santa Barbara’s top-rated morning radio show. When she wasn’t busy embarrassing her husband by broadcasting the details of their every disagreement to their tight-knit community, she continued to write and also managed to get pregnant. After pumping breast milk on the air, Jenna felt she’d achieved her broadcast dreams and returned to writing exclusively.

From The PouchMiss: The PouchMiss Bag Organizer Valued at $39.95

Every woman loves their handbags, and every woman feels the pain of having to give up their entire wardrobe once they have a baby. Having a baby is the most wonderful experience anyone will ever have, but fashion-wise it is the most horrific. Giving up your stilettos, not being able to fit into your old favorite clothes, and swapping the gorgeous handbags you used to proudly display to finish off an outfit with a, sigh, diaper bag is just heartbreaking. Seriously.

So the The PouchMiss was designed by an Aussie Mum to bring glam back to mothers everywhere. Mothers who are still women, and who still love to look great and match accessories to their outfits.

The PouchMiss comes with a matching baby change mat and 2 insulated pockets for baby's bottles. There are 2 large and 2 pen pockets on one side, and 3 medium sized pockets on the other side. All pockets are roomy enough to fit in all the bits and pieces you need for you and baby, too.

From My Car Seat Blankie: A My Car Seat Blankie in Green Minky Dot Valued at $39.99

My Car Seat Blankie® was designed for my two Springtime babies. Mama King needed a light weight blanket that she could put on and take off easily with the change in temperatures and without all that bulk a traditional blanket has. My Carseat Blankie truly is the perfect size.

After trial and error of a few different sizes we have come up with the perfect size for your infant carrier style and toddler car seats, and most standard strollers. People have even told us they're using them in the bouncy seats and
swings!

My Car Seat Blankie® is a soft and snuggly blanket specifically designed to keep baby cozy and warm in their car seat, without the extra bulk of traditional blankets. It’s the perfect fit for your infant carrier style car seat, the toddler car seat, most standard strollers and even the bouncy seat or swing. It makes the perfect travel blanket! My Car Seat Blankie will grow with your child. Once your little one is too big for their infant seat, keep it in the car for extra warmth in the toddler car seat. It’s sure to become their favorite blanket. Available in a variety of fabrics and sassy modern patterns, including: flannel, fleece and the luxuriously soft and cuddly minky.

From Sundrops Kids: A pair of Western Chief Dalmatian Dog Sandals (size 5 toddler) Valued at $16

Sundrops Kids offers protection from the sun, rain and snow. We offer Baby Banz & Kidz Banz sunglasses and hats, UV UPF sumsuits by Baby Banz and C Wear, UV sun tents, and ski goggles. We also offer Western Chief sandals, backpacks and fun rainboots. We love these products and know that you will, too!

These sandals are in the fisherman's style. They are open toe and breathe well. They are easy to get on and off, but there are so many points connecting the top to the rubber sole that they stay on once they get there. There is a fast and easy velcro clasp. To top it all off, they are cute and comfy! These run true to size.

From Bebe au Lait: Seville Nursing Cover - Valued at $34.95

When Claire Ekelund gave birth to her second daughter in 2003, she was proud to be an active nursing mom but recognized that, once again, nursing in public was going to be challenging. Like many nursing moms on-the-go, Claire was quickly reminded of how difficult it is to gracefully feed a wriggling baby and hold a blanket in position. She searched high and low for a solution, but found that nursing covers on the market at the time were clinical, impractical, and difficult to find. Bebe au Lait's passion to create and innovate the most beautiful and functional parenting products on the market has blossomed to an entire line of products.

Nurse discreetly and in style! Our award winning and patent pending nursing covers are sought by nursing moms everywhere. This Sevilla nursing cover comes with a Bebe au Lait. It is blue, beige and white
