5 Fabulous Days of Give Aways Starting 

Monday August 18th!!

Stay Tuned as we are celebrating our Brand NEW Look and

All the Savvy Babies & Kids Going Back to School!!!

Lions, Tigers and STROLLERS....OH MY

So....what has happened to the basic umbrella stroller?

Do they not exist? Strollers now days look like something from The Jetson's!

They are so lightweight, come in bright colors and look like they are for an alien not a baby!

However I do think and know that the bugaboo stroller is probably the most coveted stroller on the market! Every Celeb Mom has their baby in a bugaboo...and they are pretty darn cute and fun! Especially all the fun accessories that come with them! I especially love the shade umbrella! Too fun...too cute!

So tell us...what stroller would you choose?

Do you have a favorite? 

Let us know!!!

We love your Shop!

http://www.personalizedkids.etsy.com

My passion for designing and painting wooden letters started 3 years ago after the birth of my 2nd child; and it has grown into so much more. I have created hundreds of letters and various other products such as waste baskets, tissue box covers, wall plaques, step stools and more. The joy and love that children bring into our lives each day is what inspires me to create and design products. They truly are little treasures from up above.

My name is Sarah Gaylor and I am a stay at home mom to a beautiful 1 year old girl. I started making baby items after I saw a Martha Stewart episode with a seller from etsy.com I checked out the site and thought it might be worth a try to make some cute baby stuff and earn a little pocket money on the side. I try to work when my little one is napping or after bedtime. I make quilts, blankets, bibs, change pads, and more....

Please check out Sarah's Etsy Shop

Creative Kids at Home

A Savvy Baby found this fabulous site.

www.creativekidsathome.com

If you are at a loss for finding activities or creative things to do with your children while they are off for summer break you should click on over to Creative Kids at Home.

Each week they offer different crafts and ideas to do with your children at home!

A Savvy Baby Especially Like This One!

This is great for when you are in the kitchen and you have to keep the small & big kids occupied!

Colors and Bubbles

Materials:

dish detergent

food coloring

flat container (white or clear is best)

straws

oil (optional)

Instructions:

Find a container with a large, flat bottom. A glass, oblong baking dish works great.

Squirt some dish detergent in the bottom of the pan in some sort of zig zag or S figure. About a teaspoon is plenty.

Let the children put a few drops of food coloring in the bottom of the dish.

Add a teaspoon of water.

Use the straw to blow bubbles and move the food coloring around.

After this first creation, wash the dish, and start again with about a cup of water in the bottom. Then add the dish detergent and about the same amount of oil. Add drops of food coloring and see what happens.

Hints:

Start with two colors or it will turn muddy fairly quickly.

Adding the water makes it easier to blow the bubbles.

Use the straw to move the food coloring to blend and create colors. The children can experiment to learn that red and yellow make orange.

Use drops of oil to add a different look to the creation. Oil and water don't mix, separating the colors.

Food coloring won't dissolve in oil, so it can create a barrier between different sections of color.

Use a spoon to draw lines and patterns in the color.

When your child is all done, just take it over the to the sink to wash up. The soap is already in the mixture so it washes up easily.
