As instant favorite at the New York Children's show, Rockinrobin's hip and ultra cool line of belts and accessories for children are sure to turn heads! Mom to twins, Robin Halperin is the owner and designer of this glitzy line. As the former costume designer for ABC's "All My Children" and previous stylist for Kelly Ripa on "Live with Regis and Kelly", Robin knows her stuff when it comes to fashion! The idea for Rockinrobin came about when her then 5-year-old daughter announced that her favourite part of dress up was "mommy's belts". “It was a real challenge to find beautiful belts that were also beautifully made”, recalls Robin. “I knew I always wanted to start my own children’s company, but had not yet found the niche I was looking for. When Samantha started taking my belts and adding them to her princess outfits, the idea came to me!”

I'm not one for plastic highchairs. Not only are they bad for the environment but the cleaning aspect is a real pain. All those crevices are horrible for removing small particles of food and pasta sauce tends to stain the surfaces. You know what I do love? Products that are environmentally friendly and give you a bang for your buck, allowing you to use them way past the infant and toddler stage. The award-winning Tripp Trapp Highchair from Stokke, was sent to me for review and after weeks of testing, we couldn't be more pleased with its performance! Assembly was easy and took about 1 hour in total, thanks to the clear instructions and minimal parts.

Known for some of the most comfortable nursing bras on the market, Bravado! Designs has launched two brand new dazzling styles for nursing moms! Both styles are extremely comfortable and look very attractive and I especially love the matching underwear which completes the set! There is no longer a need for nursing mothers to sacrifice style for comfort as these bras offer both. The Sublime is a lace bra which is extremely airy and lightweight and offers a surprising amount of support even for those with larger breasts. It also features Bravado's proprietary double-cup sizing to accommodate changing shape. The multiple panels create a beautiful shape and full support without underwire which is wonderful for those in the early months of nursing. Available in French Vanilla, Black and Black Cherry (my personal favourite), this bra is perfect for those missing their pretty lingerie pieces!

When Ergobaby sent me the Organic Dark Chocolate Ergo for review I was beyond excited to try it out! Over the years I have heard nothing but positive feedback on this carrier and now after testing it out myself I can completely understand what all the fuss is about! We've seen Ethan Hawke carrying his precious Clementine and Karolina Korkova toting baby Tobin with the Ergo Baby Carrier. Even Kelly Rutherford and Carrie Ann Moss are fans of this fabulous product! As a babywearing mother I've tried pretty much everything. Ring slings, structured carriers, pouches and mei tais; you name it I've tried it! With most of the carriers I have tried in the past, pressure and stress build in my shoulders and neck after prolonged periods of "backpacking" my baby. What makes the Ergobaby carrier so fabulous is its ergonomic design which not only disperses most of the baby's weight in a natural sitting position but it also alleviates physical stress for the parent by balancing the baby's weight between your hips ad shoulders. I can carry my 12-month-old daughter around for 2 hours straight with no pain or stress in my back or shoulders! The one inch high-density foam in the shoulder straps and quarter inch high-density neoprene foam in the waist band give an added amount of comfort. My favourite feature of this carrier is the attached sleeping hood which supports my daughters head when she ends up falling asleep. The straps have a row of snaps to adjust the fit depending on the parent or size of the child. This gives complete piece of mind and eliminates the worry of whether or not your child's head is falling from side to side while napping on your back . It is also a great way to shade smaller babies from the sun during outings or hikes. You can wear your baby on your hip, back or front depending on preference and every feature on this carrier is adjustable so it can be used by any member in your family regardless of weight or size. If you have a smaller child, the infant insert is a new design with padded cushioning intended to support the natural curvature of a baby's developing spine. It is sold separetely and is to be used from newborns to 4-5 month old children. Sucking pads, weather covers, front pouches and changing pads are also available. The Ergobaby carrier is highly durable, made from 14 ounce cotton canvas, reinforced stitching at all fabric intersections and high quality buckles tested by SGS. It is currently available in 5 standard colours and 8 organic colour choices. The award-winning Ergobaby is the only carrier you will ever need! It may not be the most glamorous looking carrier on the market but it is definitely one of the best!

Sweet in every sense, these Angela Frost's Flutter Leggings are simply adorable! Available in 8 sugary colours, they have the most beautiful design adorned with lots of sparkly rhinestone "sprinkles" in sizes that range from 2T=6X. My daughter is the girliest girl you can imagine and anything sparkly, glittery or just plain pretty is right up her alley. The Lace Icing With Sprinkles leggings are gorgeous and work with many of her outfits, whether it be tunic tops, dresses or tees. They are great for all seasons and are made from a no sag, no snag performance nylon lycra in a capri length.

Angela Frost Gypsy Love and Zippity Doo Da leggings are equally as cute! If you are looking for something super snazzy check out the Black Sequin leggings!

Saucony makes a range of sneakers for girls and boys that are perfect for all kinds of sports, the playground or day trips with friends. My 3-year-old daughter put the Saucony Girls Baby Ride A/C running shoes to the test over the past couple of months and has officially declared the "purple comfy ones" as her favourite pair. Running, skipping, bouncing, dancing and jumping in puddles (woops!) are just a few of the many "tests" my daughter put these shoes through. The Saucony Baby Ride's have durable rubber outsoles which offer kids superior traction. Leather and mesh uppers allow for breathability and air flow, while the large flex grooves provide the ultimate flexibility. My little girl had no problems slipping these shoes on herself as the alternative hook-and-loop velcro closure allows for easy on/off and adjustability. For a toddler who wants to do everything herself, this is a a great feature! We've tried various brands of sneakers but the Saucony Baby Rides are the best out of the bunch.

We love Little Pim and just recently reviewed their fun DVDs as one of our "Tried, Tested & True" products. A couple of months ago Little Pim added two new products to their award winning line and I was super excited to try them out. The Little Pim French Bop CD is a collection of 15 fun and cheerful songs which highlight vocabulary taught on the DVDs - three of which are originals by Milkshake, a popular band on the kid music circuit. My daughter loves her tunes and the ones featured on this disk were cute without being cheesy. Some of those children's songs can get a tad irritating at times however the French Bop was very pleasant on mamas ears. The CD also contains a 16-page lyrics book which includes an English translation of all of the songs. Musical learning is a fun and easy way for children to pick up a different language and the CD makes it easy to "bring" learning along on car trips!

The bottle itself is elegant and vintage-inspired with a delicate black grosgrain ribbon tied around the collar. Just sitting on your bedroom or bathroom vanity alone would make a timeless statement!
