The Polkadot Platypus

This just in ... Bink Link and Ribbies!

We are excited to tell you that we have just added two new products to the list ... Bink Link pacifier clips and Ribbies hair clippies.

We'll admit that we were a bit skeptical of Bink Link pacifier clips when we first found them, but boy were we wrong! We were concerned about the choking hazard that we thought they might present due to the wooden beads. Well, we have pulled and tugged on those beads and they are not going anywhere! The beads on each end of the link are glued to the rope for added safety. In addition to that, these pacifier clips have undergone testing at a trusted facility to ensure that they complied with ASTM. The testing included mechanical testing (to insure that they do not fall apart), flammability, heavy metals (including lead in the paint and metal clip) and colorfast tests on the cord ... and of course they passed with flying colors!

Now onto the fun stuff ... Bink Link comes in six great styles and they adapt to any pacifier! Have you had problems finding a pacifier clip for your Mam, Nuk or Soothie binky? Well then Bink Link is the answer to your problems!

Ribbies hair clippies ... They are modern. They are simple. They are grippy. Need we say more? Of course we will say more because we can't say enough about these clippies! When we say grippy, we mean grippy! Each clip has a foam no slip liner to hold the clip in place in the finest of hair, not to mention all the great styles to choose from!

We love Pediped shoes!

If you don't have Pediped shoes for your little one, you have to try them! We hope you can hear the passion in our voice when we say that. Not only are they adorably fashionable and a favorite among celebrities, they are undeniably the best shoe on the market for little feet.

From the mouth of a parent ... "I am in love with Pediped shoes. I can't get enough of all the different styles and I love that they are soft-soled. Studies show that children do so much better with soft-sole shoes and my daughter has shown that to be true. A late walker, she was not much for staying up on her feet. As soon as I started putting Pedipeds on her, not only did she begin walking, she also kept the shoes on! People comment on her Pedipeds everywhere we go and I would recommend them to everyone!"
