Your new baby will find not only comfort but companionship with their new Lion Pocket Blanket.

Nice Day;

This fun lion makes a fluffy soft addition to a child’s collection of plush toys. We love its sweet grin and floppy body. His fuzzy mane is especially cute.

Feet are a precious and often under-appreciated part of our bodies. Over an average lifespan, you can expect to put approximately 115 000 miles on them. Our feet get us from point A to point B whenever we so desire. They prop us up while we are unloading the dishwasher and while we are standing at the stove making that millionth meal. So why is it that, this resource that we rely upon every day is often so underappreciated? Goodness knows.

While babies do not put in a lot of miles in their early days, their little tootsies are still very precious things. They need to be pampered with kisses and protected just like the rest of their perfect little bodies. While there is some debate as to whether babies should be barefoot and fancy- free or running ragged in a pair of racy runners there is certainly a place for socks and shoes. Experts suggest that as babies are taking their first steps, feet should be bare to help strengthen them and prevent restriction of growth. That being said, the uneven surfaces encountered out of doors are better met by the protection of socks and shoes.

So if we must protect our little ones tender and fast growing feet, what better way than  with these little darlings! These are some of the most unique baby shoes we have found. Ribbit, Ribbit! We are Leap Frogs! Fun and fancy fellows who like to leap from lily pad to lily pad and spend our days sunning in the swamp! We enjoy insects and worms and catch them with our quick sticky tongues. The charm of Monkey-Toes is their individuality, because these shoes are hand painted and no two friends alike. With them being  available in children’s sizes 1-10 and custom made to order, why not get more than one! You will need that extra pair, as your babies feet grow approximately two sizes a year for the first five years!

While you are stocking up on shoes,  don’t forget the little socks to go with them. Here are twelve pairs of baby socks packaged in an egg carton. They are 100% cotton with a little bit of spandex, so your little one won’t lose their little socks. Each has a non skid bottom. There is a mixture of twelve assorted solid colors in each dozen. If that doesn’t strike your fancy, they are also available in dots or solids.These little gems are hand “gathered” in America.

While having a beautiful pair of shoes and socks is crucial for your little one, you will still  have to stay close. As toddling feet get more comfortable and experienced they just seem to move faster and faster. While you are at it, don’t forget your own feet and runners!

I love holidays and holiday traditions. Holidays are great times to celebrate, have fun, and bond with your family. Today, Saint Patrick’s Day is widely celebrated in America by Irish and non-Irish alike. Many people, regardless of ethnic background, wear green clothing and items.

Some of their fun family craft projects include: making a cute leprechaun from a toliet paper roll, making irish hats, and more.
