Thought I'd share two fab new kiddy products that have recently come my way:
This little cutie is from the Sonoma Lavender company; a family-run farm in northern California where crops are grown and scented products are created for adults and children.
If you'd like a mini vacation, read about their idyllic location and family philosophy here.
You probably already know that lavender encourages relaxation and restfulness; our daughter loves this mildly-scented, cuddly lamb whom we've dubbed, "Lily the Lamb" in her honour. You can heat up the lavender sachet stored inside but we haven't done that; I'm pleased with the light scent. The stuffed animals sell for $30 U.S. and you can purchase them via the Sonoma Lavender web site, linked above.
Hungry? Alphabet Soup is a three-person children's group based in Winnipeg.
Their latest CD entitled, "You're It!" includes cute, upbeat ditties including, "My Lunch," "Spider-Mom" and "When I Grow Up."
You can read about Alphabet Soup, listen to clips, upload MP3s and order their CD (for $15) via this micro-site. Feel good about supporting Canadian talent while entertaining your kids!
