Taking Charge of Your Fertility
Today we are looking at not a baby product, but instead something that all women think about: our fertility. Whether you are trying to conceive or trying not too, Taking Charge of Your Fertility is one of those books that every woman should own. This is the stuff that we should have been taught in health class in school so that we know and understand our bodies. What I especially liked about it is how to practice the fertility awareness method. Not too many people know about it, but for us it was wonderful. It helped me get pregnant very quickly after I began trying, and I have friends who use it as their birth control. I know some women have issues with taking hormones as birth control and others have religious issues with it. This is a totally natural way to look at fertility. It is easy to read and understand and practice. There is also information on the menstrual cycle, menopause, and lots of fertility information. If you are trying to conceive, actively trying not to, or just want to know and understand your body, this is a great book to have.

Common Threadz
Common Threadz is a t-shirt company with a mission. They will donate a school uniform to a child in need for every garment they sell. This may not seem like an important cause off the bat, but as the founder and executive director Zac Folk states:
For millions of disadvantaged children in developing nations, clothing is something that can either prevent them from an education or provide them with a huge opportunity to change their lives. Through our own line of socially-conscious apparel, CommonThreadz has created a vehicle to help sustain our charities' mission while making what you wear an expression of what matters to you as well as a way to help someone who needs a hand up, not a hand out.
Common Threadz also works with local seamstresses in these nations, so they are also helping with employment issues too. They sell tees for children from 3 months to 4T as well as for both men and women. We really like their designs as well, so if you buy from them you get an awesome tee as well as a good feeling for helping out. Some of our favorites include Protect the Water, Flat World, Water Hat, and Birds at School. Check out their website for more on the company and this important cause.

My First Scrubs
Here's a neat idea to help a child prepare for the birth of a new sibling: My First Scrubs by Princess Linens. My First Scrubs are a tiny version of the real scrubs that doctors and nurses wear ever day. Your child will be prepared to "help out" at the hospital. The scrubs are available in sizes up to 4T and in three colors: Lab Green (up to size 8), "No More Blues" Blue, and Candystriper Pink.

Super Snapsuit
I have a thing for capes, so I think the Super Snapsuit is one of the cutest baby items I've ever seen. Everyone thinks their own child is super, so why not let the world know with this onesie? It'd be so much fun for your baby to wear this out in public for everyone to comment on. There's also one for girls that says "Super Cute," but I think that both are pretty unisex.

Flatten Me: Personalized book for your baby
We love personalized books, and the folks over at Flatten Me do a really fantastic job of creating a personalized book using just 1 picture of your child. By inserting your child's own face into the story, your child will have a new appreciation for the adventures they can take while they read a great story. Flatten Me has several different stories which you can personalize: "Here There Be Pirates", "The Tuesday Mushroom King", "The Potty Dance", "My Little Monster", and "The Day that Came to Play". The last of which is a "drool-proof board book" suitable for your youngest children. Each book is personalized with your child's picture, name, and a dedication. These books seem like they would make a great gift, since all you need is a name and a picture!

4th of July at Olive Kids
Back in March we looked at some great personalized placemats from Olive Kids. Our placemats are still holding up wonderfully at our house, and Andy loves to eat with them on the dining room table. In honor of the summer and upcoming July 4th holiday, the folks over at Olive Kids have created a few new placemats. There's the July 4th themed one that you can see above, and there's also two variations of a beach theme. I'm sure these won't last for long, and they'd be a great addition to any summertime table.

"Cry" Activated Crib Light
I'm a firm believer in the "whatever-it-takes" school of thought for getting your newborn to sleep. This "Cry" Activated Crib Light is activated when your newborn cries. Its soothing womb sounds and 3 colored lights cycle on for 10 minutes and will hopefully soothe your child back to sleep before you get yourself out of bed. Also, the lights are just bright enough to do a quick nighttime diaper change. The light can attach to the side of the crib or can stand on a nearby dresser. This would be a great shower present for any expectant mothers you know!

Haba Flowery Ring Rattle
Is there a company better than Haba? They keep releasing more and more adorable toys for all ages. The Flowery Ring Rattle has petals that are great for chewing or touching. Some crinkle while others are filled with small pellets that are fun to move around. The petals are removable in case you need to wash them. The wooden center has a smiling face on one side and a sleeping one on the other. This rattle is great for early motor and gross motor skills and helps encourage independent play.
