The video baby monitor that just may turn you into a video baby monitor fan.

BabyLegs can’t get cuter, but they can get smaller
If you're not yet familiar with BabyLegs *gasp* then just picture adorable legwarmers in about a zillion fun patterns for the baby and toddler set. They're such a perfect alternative to tights and leggings in the colder months, and so great for protecting crawling...
Stuffed animals that help real animals
Thanks to a certain animated show, my daughter now ties her stuffed animals to chairs and then attempts to save them using only teamwork and a pom-pom hat. It's not my cup of tea, but I do like the idea of encouraging kids to help animals, which is why I like Oomfy....
