KidsCoats.com

Spring has sprung and Summer is fast approaching. One of my favorite places to poke around is KidsCoats.com. They have a new extension that is KidsSwimWear.com and to get prepared for the pool, it's your one stop shop. But, before you pull out the sunscreen, don't forget about the rainy season and fabulous raincoats, like the one pictured above. And the deal to end all deals is their Warehouse Penny Sale running on Ebay. Head over to their other sister site, KidsDresses.com to find plenty of sale links. It's an awesome day for kids!

Hattie Rose Bibs {Giveaway} Ends 5/25

I've seen all of the same tired old bibs, and let me tell you, most of the options are not very appealing. When your baby is covered in drool from teething or gumming toys all day long, you still want them to look like the picture of perfection that you know they are.

Hattie Rose Designs is the perfect alternative to run-of-the-mill bibs. Here are a few of the most important features.

- Heavy weight 100% cotton terry cloth lining for comfort, durability and absorbency.

- High quality, machine washable TouchTape brand closure designed to withstand many cycles of opening and closing. No fumbling with ties or finding tiny snaps.

- Machine washable.

- Attention to detail means you get the highest quality and individuality in each bib.

- Creative and imaginative designs will nearly always solicit a compliment for your baby!

If you're wondering whether Hattie Rose Bibs will withstand wear and tear, just listen to this.

"Each bib and burp cloth is individually hand-made of high quality materials and designed to last. Not only have we tested these fabrics and clothing ourselves, but we also have seen them stand up to the testing of real moms and babies. We have personally used these in our homes and received feedback from many moms that these bibs, in spite of their delicate appearance, can be used meal after meal. They can be tossed in the laundry with the rest of your clothes and they still look beautiful."

The "Emily" bib below has been washed and dried over 80 times and still looks as good as new!

My favorite thing about the Hattie Rose bibs is their unique designs. Your little man can look snazzy in a tie or tux, while your little girl can don a tutu or beautiful dress. These are the ultimate, not only in durability, but fashion! What a unique gift these would make for a new baby, or first birthday present. And, for a limited time, Hattie Rose is offering FREE GIFT WRAPPING on one gift box per purchase!

New Moon Monday

Here is our 3rd installment of New Moon Monday. I wanted to shout out the 2 sites that generate most of the information that I share with my readers. The first is TwilightMOMS.com. Now, some of you may remember that I did a review and giveaway for TwilightMOMS back when Grab Bag was just getting it's blog legs. We had alot of fun, and I saw then how many of you are Twilight Fanatics! I'm a member on the forums and love the quality info and the grip on reality that they have (all while having their heads in the clouds at the same time!)

The second site is NewMoonMovie.org. Not all of their information is official, but if it's not confirmed, they let you know. Daily there are numerous updates, so if you need a Twilight Saga fix, that's where you need to be!

Now, onto the show.... Ashley Greene (Alice) is reporting that they have hit the halfway mark in the filming process. Sometime in May they will be headed to Italy!

More big news for the Twilight Saga... Summit has set a release date for Eclipse! “Eclipse,” opens June 30, 2010

Vacinity Alley got some great shots from filming. This looks to be the scene where Bella, Jacob, and Mike all head to the movies. There are also a few of when Bella and Jessica head out for their first girl's night. This is the first time in the books when Bella hears Edward, but RPatz was nowhere to be seen.

Summit has set a release date for Eclipse! “Eclipse,” opens June 30, 2010

Oops, I did it again!

I mucked up the comments again, but no fears. All valid comments were input by me. They're under my name, but they are still listed in the order that they were submitted, so the number are all the same. Maybe I'll never do that again! HA!

Child to Cherish

When a new baby is announced it's always so exciting looking for the perfect gift to the parents. Or, perhaps you are the parent, and you're looking for something unique to mark your new bundle of joys arrival. Child to Cherish has a great selection of gifts for any and every occasion. They have unique keepsake gifts, an adorable plush line (with Butter the Cow, Lammie Pie the Lamb, Samule the Donkey, Banjo the Dog and more), and so much more.

"Child to Cherish was founded in 1986 by designer Patrice Lowe, the mother of three boys. Her initial creation, a handprint kit in a tin, remains one of the most popular items in the Child to Cherish collection. Over the years, Patrice has expanded the Child to Cherish collection to include the finest unique, yet functional children’s keepsake and gift offerings in the industry. Each item in the collection is developed to capture precious moments in time. In 2000, Patrice was joined by her husband Gordon, and sons Tucker, Taylor and Cody as together they continue to create unique, innovative and lovely products that “preserve the innocence” of a child for a lifetime.

Child to Cherish™ is synonymous with originality and uniqueness, and for creating timeless treasures. Two of the many highly visible items, BLOCK TO GROW ON™ and HANDPRINT TOWER OF TIME™ have received accolades from many sources including Good Morning America and Barbara Walter’s The View as the #1 most desirable Shower Gifts. The Handprint Tower Of Time™ received the 2001 “Best New Product” award at the New York Stationary Show. Also, Child To Cherish was nominated for the Earnshaw’s Earnie Award as “Best giftable children’s gift collection” and often has products featured in Gift Beat. "

My boys have Butter the Cow and love to make him Moo and then snuggle up with his ultra soft fur when it's getting close sleepy time. Every product offered is adorable and high-quality, and something you would feel proud to give to someone you love. Even Hollywood has taken note, with parents like Marcia Cross, Nancy O'Dell, and Hugh Heifner purchasing from Child to Cherish. And with online retailers like Amazon.com and Dillards.com it's easy to include your gift selections with regular shopping.

A big thanks to Child to Cherish for giving our lucky Grab Bag readers a 10% discount code when they shop online at www.ChildtoCherish.com! Use code gbr10 when you're checking out!
