Your life as a parent is never going to be simple, but in ways it can be simplified. I think that this is something that I try to do each day, find one product or do one thing that will help simplify our crazy life, busy and messy household, and of course I share these with you! Here are a few designers that I have recently come across who create very useful products.



Made by Angie

It's not just a box of wipes. It's a fashion statement, and by no means should this be confused with being superficial. If you have one thing that you can use to make yourself seem put together and "with it" style wise, and that one thing is an ultra chic wipe case, than so be it. It's fashion meets function, and I firmly believe that wipes are one of life's necessary daily products. With my handy new wipe case I plan to carry wipes well beyond my child bearing years! www.madebyangie.com

Pure Me

Baby powder is so last century. Today it's all about soothing natural ingredients that won't (allegedly) cause cancer. I know the jury is still out on baby powder and it's carcinogens but I am suspect and I prefer that it come no where near my child. What I do find lovely is the Pressed Puff^TM by Pure Me, Inc. It is hypoallergenic, pediatrician tested, water repellent, vitamin loaded, and talc free, and oh yes, mom and baby approved. For baby bottoms everywhere and anywhere else that you may need it, the Pure Me Pressed Puff is an on the go solution and comes in a neat compact perfect for your bag. www.babypureme.com

Susanne Maddux San Francisco

It's a diaper bag, wait it's a laptop bag, wait it's both. Yes moms it's true, you really can have it all. You can work, you can change diapers and you can do it at the same time. Susanne Maddux San Francisco introduced the Cosmo Tote earlier this summer and it's a hit. Large enough to fit a laptop and your baby essentials, and so stylish you will want one in every color. There is more to come from this accessories line but right now it's all about the Cosmo. www.susannemaddux.com

Yasmena

You love to stroll but you don't know what to do with your phone, keys, I.D. and cash for the ice cream man. Yasmena is there for you with their sporty Yazzy bag. Zip zip and you are on your way to strolling or walking where ever you like with a perfectly sized little bag on your hand. My favorite is the reflective stripe sporty pink for when I sneak out of the house at night to get fresh air and take a walk! www.yasmena.net

Catbird Baby

There is nothing more simple than wearing your small child so that you can get some things done. It's not for everyone, I realize this, however if you can do it and if your baby cooperates, you will find that it's not only a good ab-workout, but a nice bonding time. I still "wear" Ruby and she is 30+lbs, and 36" tall! It's great for walks, for sweeping your kitchen floor, and for doing things like working on the computer when you have an infant tucked into your chest so peacefully. It's also great for putting away the dishes and cooking but please be careful not to bang the pouch into the kitchen counter when you are reaching high up in the cabinets, the baby really doesn't appreciate that very much! Just ask Ruby. CatBird Baby carriers are constructed so well that it feels like you are carrying air, not a child. The way that this Mei Tai design handles weight and takes it off of your own body is genius, not to mention the designs that you can choose from. Gwen Stefani has "Paloma", which one do you want? Brushed micro twill fabric, reversible so you can switch it up and just luscious all around. www.CatBirdBaby.com

a brown dog

If you don't want to tell your toddler to eat his or her veggies, let a brown dog do it! Jake says "be good", and Bear says "no whining", and Sofie says "never give up" for Breast Cancer Awareness (available in October). There are so many t-shirts for toddlers these days but seldom do they have strong messages, comfy cotton, and I have never seen anyone else do mom a favor like this! Sizes 2T to 6T. A portion of sales go to animal foundations and donations are made from the "always wear sunscreen" tee to St. Judes Children's Hospital. www.abrowndog.com
