Personalized Wooden Step Stool for Kids

· by · 2 Comments

It’s official: Darah is no longer a baby. Just writing that sentence made me tear up. 

She will ALWAYS be my baby girl, for the rest of my life. But right now, I have to let her be the brand new toddler that she wants to be (and really already is). She’s gone from a passive, gurgling little love lump into a acrobatic monkey, full of curiosity, and the motor skills to get herself into some serious mischief. She’s a handful, and she’s also my greatest joy. Watching her explore and do all sorts of cool things for the first time is amazing. I love watching her spot something interesting, and then go over to it to take a closer look. She is full of wonder.


As she grows, she’s going to have many moments when her height doesn’t correspond to her needs (welcome to my life, kid). She needs a step stool for those moments, and I found the greatest step stool EVER. Hands down. Seriously. I’m in love with it. Personalized Wooden Step Stool for Kids This personalized wooden step stool for kids is solid wood, beautifully crafted, and it has you child’s name on it in hand painted wooden blocks that can be removed for play. It is an absolute treasure, and one that I hope Darah will keep forever (and she probably should, since she won’t be running into too many other Darahs who could use it!). I think that the price tag for this custom piece is also very reasonable, coming in at $65.00. It will ship within 2 weeks of purchase, too!

Edit: 5 years after first writing this, our personalized wooden step stool is still in great shape!

Party Favors I Actually Love: Custom Art Chalk

· by · 66 Comments

I’m starting to realize that part of the culture of children’s birthday parties includes party favors. I think when I was little, I would occasionally go to a birthday party where we could go home with a pencil and some stickers (actually, I distinctly remember getting one of those funky mechanical pencils that was glittery and thinking that it was the greatest party EVER). But I think the bar has been raised a bit, and now parents are left scrambling to find favors that won’t disappoint. I find this very strange, and I hope that I don’t fall into that mindset when Darah gets a little bit older and starts to have birthday parties with guests.

I don’t mind sending kids home with a little something fun, but I’m totally not interested in loading them up with plastic crap (which is what the affordable favors are) or with spending a lot of money just in impress the kids and/or their parents (and also give them anxiety about what they will have to buy for favors when it is their child’s party).

art chalk party favors I found an Etsy store that has a PERFECT solution for the favor dilemma. Check out The Chalk Shop! Mel is an awesome mom who runs this store out of her smoke-free home. She started out making art chalk for her 21 month old daughter, and then she learned how to make the chalk in all sorts of different shapes. This makes for unique chalk pieces that are so much fun. They are fun to look at, fun to play with (what kid doesn’t LOVE chalk?), and they are reasonably priced, so that you don’t bust your party budget!

Mel enjoys working with her customers to make the perfect shapes and colors to meet you needs. I actually found the store in February when I was looking for the perfect gift for one of my nieces. At the time she was really into trains and she also liked chalk. Well, The Chalk Shop happened to offer chalk in the shape of trains. PERFECT!!! If you have an idea for a chalk design, send Mel a convo through Etsy and she’ll let you know if she can make it happen! It takes two weeks for custom orders to be shipped, as they need adequate time to dry before shiping.

art chalk party favors Mel can also wrap up the chalk into beautiful little packages, which makes them perfect to hand out as favors. They are also gift-ready for any other special occasion!

Buy it!: I highly recommend The Chalk Shop as a go-to resource for party favors and stocking stuffers. Mel can help you come up with something perfect for you at a price that will make you smile! Each piece is just over $1! Hard to beat, I think!

Win it!: Mel sent me a delightful set of flower chalk (3 pieces of chalk, total), beautifully wrapped, for one lucky Stuff Parents Need reader! The contest will run until August 16th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning email before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States.

PlayBright: How to Make Playtime Learning Time

· by · Leave a Comment

There’s a non-profit organization in Washington state that has produced a really cool social venture project. The Children’s Home Society of Washington has created a set of books called PlayBright Guidebook, which consist of guidebooks (one for each year ages birth to five) and a keys to learning book that gives parents detailed information on how your child grows and develops.

Before I tell you more, I wanted to explain what a social venture project is (this term is relatively new to me, so I’m thinking it might be new to some of you). When a non-profit or a business has a social venture project, one of the aims of the project is to make a profit. One of the other aims is to make a positive difference in society. The Children’s Home Society of Washington is a non-profit organization whose mission is,” to develop healthy children, create strong families, build engaged communities, and speak and advocate for children.”The PlayBright system gives parents tools to provide brain-boosting activities for their growing children, and the money generated by selling these books goes back to the Children’s Home Society of Washington to help them support kids and families in various ways. Pretty cool, huh?

Playbright 12-24 months book Ok, so back to the PlayBright system. We were sent the book for 12-24 months, and it is stuffed with information that I’m already finding so helpful. In addition to have dozens of pages of fun activities to help your child learn and grow, it also has great information about developmental milestones for this age range, types of toys that are especially stimulating, and songs and nursery rhymes to teach your child. But the book is not at all overwhelming. I think they have cut out a lot of the fluff you find in many developmental books, and stuck with the essentials. As a busy person with not enough time to read much, I really appreciate this!

We also got to check out the PlayBright Keys to Learning book. It was totally fascinating. This is another example of a resource that cut out the fluff and left only the really important and helpful information on the table. I want to provide play time for Darah that is fun, that creates a bond between us, and that also helps her to learn and grow. When I’m left on my own to figure out how to do that well, I have some successes, but I often come up short. This book has given me so many ideas to use, and also gives me a better understanding of the types of stimulation that Darah needs now (and why!). Now that I understand this information, I can create more opportunities for learning fun on my own.


I’m thrilled to have these books, and I know I’ll be buying the books for the next few years, as well. Thank you, Children’s Home Society of Washington, for developing a resource that is so useful!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need Reader is going to win the Keys to Learning book as well as the guidebook for the age you request! Playtime is about to get really awesome at your house! The contest will run until August 15th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to claim the prize before it is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Have a Happy Birthday? YES WE CAN! (GIVEAWAY!!!)

· by · 131 Comments

Darah is part of what is now called the “Obama Baby Boom.” There is a slight jump in the number of births that happened 9 months after our fearless leader was elected. 🙂

Tim and I make no secret about our admiration of our current president, and how our world was rocked (in a positive way) when he was elected. We know that one day we will tell Darah about when we voted for him, and how crazy busy the polls were, and how there was this vibrant energy that we had not yet witnessed in our time as registered voters. It was almost magical.

We officially announced our pregnancy to people outside of the family on Inauguration Day. Again, that was such a magical day, and I’ll never forget it. Change was in the air, snow was falling lightly in Memphis (which is relatively rare), and we were telling the world that our baby was on the way.

President Obama’s birthday is today, August 4th. I have to confess that I tried to convince my OB to induce me on the 4th, and I listed Obama’s birthday as a key reason. Yes, the crazy was in FULL FORCE by the end of my pregnancy. I’ll never forget how much she laughed when I listed that as a compelling reason to induce me. It made perfect sense to me, at the time! Also, I was miserable, but I digress…

In light of Darah’s Obama connection, we wanted to celebrate her first birthday with a little tribute to our White House resident. I found a Progress shirt at Truly Sanctuary, and I totally fell in love. They have an entire section devoted to Obama onesies! Yipee!

Now, I realize that not all of my readers will share the same affinity I have for our remarkable president. And that’s ok. I celebrate the fact that in this country we have freedom of thought and expression! If an Obama onesie probably wouldn’t find its way onto your baby, Truly Sanctuary still has something you’ll like, I guarantee it! Check out their selection of canvas totes (Mr. T bag, you MUST come home with me…), their tattoo art onesies and their extensive selection of music-related clothes!

Buy it!: Basically, Truly Sanctuary is the perfect place to shop for something unique, inspiring, or just plain quirky for your little one. Onesies start at $14.99!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader is going to snag a onesie of your choice from those currently listed on Etsy. Yipee! The contest will run until August 14th at 7:59pm CST when the winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will be emailed and will have 48 hours to respond before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Open to residents of the United States. Limit one entrant per household, please.

Mandatory entry: Tell me the onesie you would pick and the size (and choose wisely, as you will get what you choose if you are the winner!)

ID Labels for Kids: We Love KiddoTags

· by · 101 Comments

I’ve talked a lot about Darah being in daycare. I know that not everyone who reads this blog has a little one in daycare (perhaps one parent is staying at home, or perhaps you have an in-home caregiver who comes over to watch the baby, or perhaps you are a lucky one who gets to take your little love over to Grandma’s house!).

In any case, I believe that as your child approaches 1, investing in some I.D. labels for kids is a really good idea. If they go to daycare or a Mom’s day out, I PROMISE you that anything you send with them that isn’t labeled will get lost. It’s just going to happen. I have been able to hang on to all of Darah’s pacifiers, bottles and food containers successfully because they are labeled. And using a magic marker isn’t going to cut it, because it comes off in the dishwasher.

ID labels for kids One company that offers top notch labeling options is Kiddo Tags. These tags come with detailed instructions for applying to surfaces. The instructions also come with a phone number, should you have any questions. Gabby, the owner, seems to be really dedicated to quality customer service, which is awesome!

One of the things that blew me away was how fast the tags arrived. They were in my mailbox 3 days after I placed the order. No joke. Now that’s amazing service, folks! We have put our tags through the dishwasher numerous times, now, and they are holding up beautifully! I highly recommend Kiddo Tags for any parent who doesn’t want to lose all the stuff they send with their child to daycare/preschool/playdates/etc.

ID labels for kids Buy it!: You can purchase Kiddo tags on the website. They have many different packages to meet your needs; be sure to check out the great value pack!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need Reader will win a set of 30 mini-kiddo tags! The contest will run until August 13th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize before it is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory entry: Tell me the character you would put on your mini kiddo tags (select a size package and click to continue, and that will take you to the page with the characters).

First Birthday Gift Idea: Personalized Wooden Blocks

· by · 244 Comments

Right around a child’s first birthday, interest in blocks seems to skyrocket (at least Darah’s has). I’ve been on the lookout for some really cool wooden blocks for her. I actually found some on Etsy, but these aren’t any ordinary blocks. They are custom made with adorable color-schemes. I love them in a major way!

Check out Designed by Lemony, which is owned by a wonderful mom named Emily! She describes her blocks as follows, “I put coordinating papers and letters on 30 solid wood 1” square blocks. After all the sides are covered, I seal the paper onto the blocks with a non-toxic glossy sealant. Each block has two letters on it, so in total there are 60 letters, which includes the entire alphabet twice. I can PERSONALIZE the canister by adding up to 8 block letters. Please just let me know the name when you order so I can finish it quickly before sending it.”

Emily is always seeking to perfect her products. After getting some feedback about the finish of her blocks being a bit tacky (literally tacky, not unfashionable!) she has changed her formula, and now the blocks are being made with a matte finish. I did notice that our blocks stuck together a little bit after being in the (seriously hot) attic for a few weeks. The canister she sent us has the matte finish, and it looks absolutely perfect.

Now, these blocks are already super-cute with their different patterns and designs, but Designed by Lemony can take it one step further for you. Emily can make your blocks with special photos on them, as well. Think about how great it would be to have pictures of your family members and your baby on the blocks. While your little one is learning about stacking, knocking things down, and the alphabet, you can also work on the names of your loved ones. Or you can just put pictures of your baby from his/her first year or two of life on the blocks for a beautiful keepsake. Just TRY to find something this special at Target!

Emily is inspired by custom orders, so if you have any special ideas or any particular colors that you’d like to see, just contact her…she can make it happen!

Buy it!: The wooden block set is $35 plus $7 shipping, and that includes any customization that you’d like to do to it (including adding pictures!). It comes with 30 blocks and one super cute and coordinating canister (which can have the child’s name on the outside of it). Shipping is free for your second item, by the way!

Win it!: Today just might be your lucky day! One of you is going to win a CUSTOM set of blocks for the child in your life!!! The contest will run until August 12th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected via Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is drawn. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory Entry: Tell me the wooden block set you like the best of the ones available!

First Birthday Bash GIVEAWAY: My Children’s Clothes Boutique

· by · 197 Comments

Welcome to the First Birthday Bash celebration! I will be featuring excellent gift ideas for brand new toddlers all week, in honor of Darah turning 1!

One of the things I have been wanting to do for a (DIY) birthday photo shoot with Darah is to have her in a tutu. But not just any old tutu. I needed to find one that was extra adorable (because “adorable” is already standard for a tutu). And of course, the perfect tutu for my little one year old (almost!) has presented itself.

Oh. My. Word.


I can hardly stand how cute it is! Look at the precious petals and leaves! And I’m so pleased to report that Darah has a blast playing with this tutu, most likely because there are fun things inside to touch and move around. To have Darah in such a playful mood when she wears this helps the odds of snapping some cute photos go up by about 1,000%!
So where did I find this fetching fru fru must-have? I’m glad you asked! You can snag one for your own itty bitty ballerina at My Baby Clothes Boutique. In my opinion, My Baby Clothes Boutique is one of the very best places on the web to find outfits that are perfect for special occasions and photo shoots, but that are still comfortable enough that your baby won’t cry when wearing them because they are uncomfortable. They have done a great job of finding really adorable pieces your baby will actually wear!

Additionally, you probably already know that “special occasion” clothing for babies and toddlers can be outrageously expensive. I think the prices at My Baby Clothes Boutique are much easier to stomach than at most places, and that goes right along with the mission statement from their site, “At MyBabyClothesBoutique.com we strive to bring you the most fashion forward and trendy baby clothes on the web, all at a Guaranteed Lowest Price!” So you can shop with confidence knowing that you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything cuter, and you definitely won’t find it any cheaper!

Buy it!: The tutu featured in this post is currently on sale for $25.20, which is a fantastic price for something so beautiful. Be sure to check out the rest of their extensive sale selection. You don’t want to forget those beautiful baby headbands to complete the tutu outfit. The baby shoes are to die for. Like these adorable sandals are marked down to $10! Or these ballerina slippers.

Win it!: My Baby Clothes Boutique wants to give one lucky Stuff Parents Need Reader a $25 gift certificate, good toward any purchase on their site! Yay! The contest will run until August 11th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning email notification before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is drawn. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory entry: Tell me your favorite item from the list of baby clothes best sellers!

New England Coffee Review: I Drink it Iced

· by · 166 Comments

new england coffee reviews Who out there LOVES coffee??? I’m thinking that many of you are regulars at your local coffee shops. I love to go to my neighborhood joint and get a cool and refreshing iced coffee. They are so perfect for the summer months. In truth, though, I drink iced coffee all year. Seriously. It can be the coldest day of the year, and I’ll still go for an iced coffee over hot coffee, if given the choice.

While getting an iced coffee seems like just a little treat, setting me back only $2.75, those little indulgences start to really add up. When I stopped to think about, I realized that I could buy an entire bag of coffee for just about the same price as 2 iced coffees to go. It seems that my little treat is a HUGE money waster!

So I brew my own coffee. Lately I’ve been cold brewing, but I also brew with a traditional coffee pot. Lately I’ve been trying out all sorts of delicious brews, courtesy of New England Coffee. This company has a site dedicated to iced coffee tips and tricks called Try Me Iced. Check it out!

New England Coffee has been in business for over 90 years, so clearly they are doing something right when it comes to coffee. They started out in Boston (shout out to my old stompin’ grounds!), and are now located just outside the city, in Malden. They are New England’s largest independent coffee roaster!

I loved reading the following on their site, “Our methods are not cutting edge. In fact, they’re antiquated by most people’s standards. And we wouldn’t change a thing. It’s the only way we know how to make sure that you’ll always enjoy a consistently great cup of coffee.” I think there’s some truth to the idea that newer isn’t necessarily always better. If what you are doing is working, keep rolling with it!

I found the coffee I have been drinking to be quite delicious, and I have really enjoyed experimenting with New England Coffee’s flavors. Right now my favorite thing to do is brew a pot that has half Breakfast Blend and half Blueberry Cobbler. I find the combo to be absolutely perfect…not too strong, and just enough sweet blueberry flavor to make the coffee really tasty but not too sweet! If you like to experiment at bit with your coffee, check out the beverage recipes New England Coffee offers. They also have a French Vanilla roast that totally knocks my socks off. I can tell that I’ll be ordering some more of this as soon as my bag runs out.

Speaking of making a purchase, I love that I can make a purchase on their website, or I can just go to my nearest retailer (in my case, that would be the good old Piggly Wiggly!). Prices online are a reasonable $5.49 per bags, and the bag sizes range from 9-12 ounces. You can also request a coupon if you are a true bargain shopper! If you can’t find it in your local store, it is also carried on Amazon.

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need Reader will win one bag of Blueberry Cobbler Ground Coffee and one bag of Peach Cobbler Ground Coffee. Get ready for your daily coffee time to become absolutely fabulous! The contest will run until August 10th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize before it is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory entry: Tell me the New England Coffee flavor or roast you would like to try the very most (or that you already drink and love!).

The Perfect Diaper for Your Little Houdini (Wahmies One-Size GIVEAWAY!!!)

· by · 211 Comments

We’ve already talked about the great wet bags that the company Wahmies puts out. Did you know that they also have a one-size diaper? Oh yes, indeed, and I’m going to tell you all about it!

This is a diaper unlike any other I have seen in terms of the way you put it on your kid. It has some pretty serious hook closures that allow for a custom fit. Tiny baby? No problem? Roly-poly baby? No problem! This diaper is built for babies from 4-40 pounds. That’s the largest range I’ve ever seen on a diaper!The diaper has a pocket for stuffing the soaker into it. I thought that the opening of the pocket was a little bit on the small side, so it takes me a little bit longer to get the inserts into this diaper than with my other pocket diapers. I LOVE the inner lining, which is velour. There must be nothing more luxurious than peeing and pooping on super soft velour! 🙂 Velour also does a great job of wicking away moisture, so it is luxurious and functional.
In addition to the custom fit along the waist, it also has four rise settings so that this diaper can be used from birth through potty training. I think this is an ideal diaper to purchase when your baby isn’t yet squirmy during diaper changes. That way, you can practice the hook closures and be an expert at it by the time you have to chase after your baby during a diaper change. Learning how to use the hooks right now, when Darah is constantly rolling around, is a bit of a challenge. If I had this diaper 3 months ago, that probably would have been perfect. There is a tutorial on the website, and once I watched it (why didn’t I do that as soon as I got the diaper?), the hooks became easy as pie. The diaper isn’t completely intuitive to use, but you only need to be shown once, and then you’ve got it. If you don’t like the hooks, they also have snaps available!
Here’s a picture that breaks down how to put these diapers on your baby.
One thing that is really great about this diaper is that Darah isn’t going to be able to take it off. She’s already starting to figure out how to pull at the velcro fasteners on her other diapers. I predict some trouble in the coming months… Still, these diapers are a bit tricky, even for me. That’s a negative for this diaper because it takes me longer to get it on, but also a positive because it ISN’T coming off once I get it on her!
Win it!: One of you will win a one-sized Wahmies diaper in the color of your choice! The contest will run until August 8th at 7:59pm CST when a winner will be selected using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to the winning email before the prize is forfeited and a new winner is selected. Limit one entrant per household, please. Open to residents of the United States.

Mandatory entry: Of the colors shown, which one is your favorite (choose wisely, as you will get what you pick out!).
