Promoting outdoor activity with their fantastic line of simple yet timeless toys, Wham-O says Happy Birthday to a classic. We love the Hula Hoop in our house.

]]>Made in the ShadyBabyhttp://www.lilypadplace.com/products-we-dig/2008/4/28/made-in-the-shadybaby.htmlSite Author2008-04-28T16:58:08ZIf you are like us and the stroller shade never seems to cover enough no matter what time of day it is, you'll love this stroller parasol by ShadyBaby. The version we checked out was the Sock Monkey style - so stylish. The sturdy construction and versatility is an engineering coup. The attachment fits on all five strollers we tried and the simple push button adjustment allows you to easily change the position of the umbrella as you are strolling. The tilt feature on the top canopy allows even more flexibility for maximum shade protection without obstructing your view (said our most height-challenged user). Bonus? It's SPF 50+!! This is a hottest accessory to make all the other stroller jockeys jealous. You can find them here: ShadyBaby.com
]]>Fiber Wig-Magic Mascara?http://www.lilypadplace.com/products-we-dig/2008/4/11/fiber-wig-magic-mascara.htmlSite Author2008-04-11T20:04:36ZSo if you heard the buzz about the new mascara that would replace your fasle eyelashes, let me tell you the personal testing results we found. We LOVE this mascara, but only because it's a good mascara. We did not find the "false eyelash-like" results as advertised. Bummer because we all love a good lash and even for a fancy occasion, glueing those puppies on takes time. The fibers in the product are supposed to interconnect to form long lashes. Again, we love this product but only because we love a good mascara. I waited to find this on the shelf because my local Sephora was sold out week after week but I finally found a tube in San Francisco. Worth the $22 price tag? Depends. We found a mascara that cuts the mustard just as well for less than $9 (L'Oreal Clean Definition Telescopic). Find Fiber Wig at Sephora online here.

]]>Cover Me Up!http://www.lilypadplace.com/products-we-dig/2008/1/25/cover-me-up.htmlSite Author2008-01-25T23:04:40ZI have always liked the concept of the bib clips that turn anything like a paper towel or restaurant napkin into a bib. I just found a wonderful new way to turn any blanket into a breastfeeding cover up. Cover Me Clips from Little Carr are so well made, our tester couldn't yank the blanket off no matter how determined he was. This clip is so simple to use and it's adjustable. I love the bright design--so easy to find in my giant messy diaper bag pocket. Little Carr also offers a matching blanket that is very stylish. Find these great products here: Littlecarr.com
]]>A New Healthy Exchangehttp://www.lilypadplace.com/products-we-dig/2007/12/3/a-new-healthy-exchange.htmlSite Author2007-12-03T17:28:53ZWe have tired many of the whole wheat pastas in our attempts to add more healthy options to our meals. Most of them end up pushed around the plate when the white pasta gets devoured instantly. We found a new pasta with three times the fiber of regular white pasta and the same amount of calcium as an eight-ounce glass of milk. Our taste test went without a hitch and no one, and I mean no one, at the table even batted an eyelash. A definite win win situation. Try Ronzoni^® Smart Taste^TM for yourself. Available nationwide.
