The Clever Elly system is a simple, portable reminder device that alerts the driver to check the back seat when the car has been turned off.

Each colorful card shows a different animal movement that you can perform together. It brings on a lot of laughs and allows your child to learn action words and animal names in a fun and often silly way. The perfect grab-n-go activity! 

When it comes to children's clothing, we typically shy away from the chain brick and mortar shops and look for something special. Feltman Brothers is just that. The high quality of their material and unique designs truly make them one of a kind. From holiday outfits, rompers, sweater sets, shortalls, longalls, bonnets and more—they have so many collections to choose from for infants and toddlers.

The Creative Kids Sense and Grow Sensory Magic Tissue Box is made of a soft material that my baby likes to hug and the bottom is weighted, so it's easy to keep upright during play. With 15 different textured scarves to pull out of the plush tissue box, it offers loads of different sensory experiences—colorful, crunchy, bumpy, smooth, heavy, light, corduroy, sheer, cotton, tulle and more. Your child will engage in visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation.

Even better, their clothing is pre-shrunk, so what you see it what you get in the sizing department. Check out their wide selection, including Mommy and Me sets.

Instilling inclusivity in your children is best started from birth. The Miniland Family Diversity Blocks game is one of our favorite developmental toys for young children. Kids as young as two-years-old can explore differences as they build families with a variety of skin tones, body types, faces (2-sided), and hair color. The set includes 12 activity cards which each represent a different family makeup. The goal is to find and stack the correct pieces to build the family that matches your card.

This year, pediped shoes will be under the tree once again! They are by far our favorite shoes because the quality is unparalleled and they last significantly longer than any other brand we've tried. They've even received awards celebrating how well-made their shoe are and how they promote healthy foot development.

The entire shoe line offers maximum heel and arch support that helps with Plantar Fasciitis, heel pain, flat feet, bone spurs, and more.

I’m excited to share about a great find—Yuni Rose Cucumber Shower Sheets. These all-natural, plant-based, vegan shower sheets are perfect for travel, trips to the gym, post-surgery body washing, and more. They are soothing to skin and incredibly gentle, with rose cucumber scents that act as aromatherapy as you refresh.

Ear-covering headbands are a must for me in the winter. 32 Degrees Heat Fleece Headbands are especially awesome because they are made of a lightweight micro-fleece with a lot of stretch. Fleece headbands are always stylish and go with any winter coat or jacket, making them both functional and fashionable.

This holiday season, I'm encouraging healthy habits by gifting my loved ones a Buzio DUET SERIES Cup Holder-Friendly Insulated Water Bottle! This eco-friendly stainless steel water bottle is a cut above the rest, with two different cap options—a straw lid and a flex cap, two straws and a straw brush.
