You can kind of gage how many kids a man has by his diaper bag. If it's pink and frilly, he probably has 3+ kids and could care less what the bag looks like as long as it gets the job done. If he's on his first, he would probably rather carry everything in a large Ziploc bag before he would tote around his wife's designer diaper bag!
Who says there has to A diaper bag? Daddy is absolutely allowed to have his own as well! While he may not spend the hours and days obsessing over the hippest bag, he would probably be quiet happy if you ushered him and the kids out of the house with one of these hip and studly messenger style diaper bags from DadGear!
He probably won't care about all the pockets, the quick access wipe window or the stroller straps. And don't expect him to jump up and down and thank you for this either. That would be about as manly as pink tassels. But he'll be appreciative and maybe even be more willing to take the kids out so mom can have some much needed quite time! $78.15 @ Amazon.Com

The holidays are starting already here at Posh Little and the gift ideas are sprouting up like mad in our 2009 Holiday Gift Guide. One of the new additions this week was the Candy Cane Bark from a scrumptious gourmet candy company, Sucré. White chocolate on dark chocolate sprinkled with candy canes. Um, Yum!
While that sounds divine we're still trying to recover from the Sugar And Spice Collection of chocolates and Sicilian Pistachio & Rose Petal artisan chocolate bar. The gorgeous Sugar And Spice chocolates, housed in a Tiffany-esque box, are filled with creamy egg-nog, gingerbread and candy cane (our fav). These glossy, marbled chocolates are almost too pretty to eat but well worth the sacrifice. The chocolate bars are a far cry of the ones you'll buy at the grocery store! Studded with pistachios and candied rose petals, a romantic treat for your sweetheart (or you).
A portion of Sucré's holiday sales to the LA/SPCA. Visit Sucré's New Orleans 3025 Magazine Street shop or online at ShopSucre.Com for more holiday treats!
Special Offer!! FREE shipping ($9.95 value) on all orders over $70 per address Code: BONBON (expires 11/30/2009)

"Sounds like it's time to give them a cardboard box or a flashlight!" That's the ridiculous but so true advice I'll get from my sister when she calls and the noisy kids make chit chat impossible. It's good advice.
My 2, 4 and 6 year old kids have been spending hours coloring, painting and playing with our eco-friendly paint-able cardboard schoolhouse from Imagination Box Co. It's been a fabulous craft time and imagination time toy for all three of them, together and separate. I expected for them to paint it for an hour or two and then be done which was fine because I could just recycle it. I have been very pleasantly surprised at the amount of time they have all dedicated to it. It's been a few weeks now and they still come back to "work" on it or bring over their Barbie's and little critters to play school with it.
When a morning play date started getting a little too rambunctious and we needed a good distraction for the kids to keep them getting along for just another hour, I broke out the Paint-able Country Cottage which quickly settled and amused all 6 of them. Imagination Box Co, a thinking globally and acting locally company that has a 100% American made manufacturing process that produces a line of 100% recyclable (including the packaging) cardboard play kits. Each kit comes with a cardboard structure (a little assembly required) and a FREE set of eight non-toxic washable watercolors. Additional paint sets available for only $2.
This is surely one green toy you won't feel guilty about disposing of when the kids are done with it! Just lug (it's not heavy) your Imagination Box to the recycle bin! Starting at $24.95 @ ImaginationBoxCo.Com

I'm generally don't go ga-ga over neutral colors for babies. It also drives BA-nanas when friends and family don't want to share the sex of the baby (unless they don't want to know themselves). It can really make the gift giving process much harder and not as fun. Yellow and green are just not really that exciting.
But, while browsing good ol' Etsy, I spotted this hip monkey themed set of party invites, napkin rings, cupcake toppers, goodie bags (empty I assume) and address labels. This birthday party set has nailed the natural color scheme. Adorable, customizable and a fun find for your little monkey's party! $49 @ PartiesInBloom.Etsy.Com
