    I was feeling crafty today and while looking for ideas for a gift for my new nephew I came across this really nice blog. The person who runs it posted some great photos of cards, blankets, and a bib that could be made by hand. The items are classy and practical. Any mom would be happy with a homemade gift like this.

    And if you're tired of the going to same old baby shower over and over again, consider this Danish tradition. I wish I had told my sister about it before I threw her one.

    • Environmentally minded parents-to be will appreciate a gift from gdiapers.com. They have a great selection of Earth-friendly products as well as gift and starter kits. This is really an amazing product, gDiapers are bio-degradable, flushable, and the non-poopy diapers can even be composted. Mmmm.

    My friends recently purchased a stroller for their one-month old. It's called a Bugaboo Cameleon and retails for about $900. I once bought a used car for the same amount and it lasted a good two years. This fancy stroller is pretty light-weight and comes in a variety of adult-conscious colors. More than anything though, this thing looks weird.

    The last stroller I bought, eight years ago when my daughter was two, was a fifteen dollar Evenflo umbrella stroller with a colorful animal print.
