Bella Tunno: fancy, fun, fresh neccessories + giveaway

Friday, August 27th, 2010

How many times have we, as mamas, encountered situations where we thought,”this is just not working”?  Countless times wishing for solutions, or just something better to make those hectic crazy days a little bit easier.  Bella Tunno addresses such problems and offers solutions with style.

Bella Tunno is a children and baby neccessory (necessary accessory) company dedicated to the balance of fashion, function and philanthropy. They have a huge celebrity following, and are all the buzz in major cities around the country.  It’s simple to see why they have caught the eye of chic mamas.  They sell quality made, functional products. Bella Tunno is also committed to donating a portion of every sale to the Matt Tunno Make A Difference Fund. To read more about all of the different charities that the Make a Difference Fund benefits, click here.

Their products range from diapers bags and Little Linkers for your stroller to a Oopsie Ditty, a parent survival kit full of “in a pinch” products.  All of these products are fabulous solutions that feature absolutely adorable and fun fabrics, and at an affordable price.  Upon looking through their catalog, you will find yourself  “ooooo”-ing and “ahhhh”-ing at all the products and thinking,”why didn’t I think of that?!”

Test Tot:

My personal favorite of their products is their Designer Diners. They are portable place mats, wipe-able oil-cloth  on one side and a chalk mat on the other, non-toxic chalk included. They come in a variety of  fabulous prints, perfect for little boys and girls. Kade will barely sit still at restaurants while we wait for our food. (Yes, we are that family with the children who are so wiggly and fussy at dinner that you wonder if their parents ever feed them.) Just in case you’re wondering, they are well fed:).  But the little paper and crayons handed out at your typical restaurant, tend to be more advanced than Kade can understand. He is very coordinated when it comes to his large muscles but fine motor skills are proving to be difficult for my left handed little man. Getting him to sit down and wait for dinner, let alone attempt to do something he’s not interested in, is a recipe for disaster. This is why I love the Designer Diner. He makes sure I have it when we leave the house for lunch with friends or dinner with family. He even insists that he uses it for meals at home. I am so glad that he can be creative and entertained at the same time, all while looking stylish. I have gotten so many compliments on our Diner from waitresses and several moms just passing by. I am so in love with Bella Tunno and you will be too!

Kiwi Industries: winter essential must-haves

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

kiwi3 150x150 Kiwi Industries: winter essential must havesKiwi Industries has been working hard for the last six years to create the most adorable clothing line for kids with natural, organic and recycled fibers. They are extremely passionate about social and environmental awareness. Their organic cotton collection is skal-certified and all sweaters are knit in a womens cooperative in South America. They produce all of their marketing on recycled paper. Go green, go kiwi.

Their hats are truly adorable and will keep your child warm and toasty while giving them originality amongst their friends. They have hats small enough for infants and large enough for children up to 6 years. I’d suggest sizing up slightly if you don’t want it too snug. The hats definitely stretch out, but my 2.5 year old daughter would probably fit nicely with room to grow in the large size.
