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!
The CD is great! I just picked it up this weekend at an Alphabet Soup show. My 4 yr old son already has some favorites, and the catchy music can withstand the constant refrain of "Play that one again!" coming from my backseat...

We're a little old for the CD, but I may just have to get the lamb....for me! :)

Thanks for the recommendations, but there's a lot of product promos on this blog. Any chance for some tips/advice on inexpensive gifts or free things to do? The holidays are such an expensive time, especially with the state of the economy right now. Finding things to spend on is easy, the golden advice is things to save on!!

The lamb looks extremely soft and cute.
