I feel like boutique bibs are all over the internet and in every swanky baby boutique in the country....so I usually refrain from posting about them....however, I must say that I have fallen in love with these. Not sure if it's the patterns that SweetDarlin Ranch uses or just the fact that they come with a matching changing pad or the ribbon that they use to tie up the changing pad...not sure - but I think they make an adorable gift to give a new mom or mommy to be....so here I am posting about them! Check out their etsy shop to see tons of fun patterns.

My 20 month old daughter got this movie for Christmas and just loves if - she has watched it 4 times now and I'm afraid that I'm going to have to start hiding it because she gets it off the shelf and brings it to me wanting to watch it ALL THE TIME! If you haven't seen it yet - it's one that you can sit through with the kids b/c it's just so darn cute!

Will You Be My Valentine?
In honor of tomorrow's special day...we have the following Valentine Cookie Pops recipe found on The Family Corner.
What you will need:
20 vanilla wafer cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 6-ounce bag white chocolate chips
1 6-ounce bag semi sweet chocolate chips
colored candy sprinkles, red & white
pink and red gummy or sour patch bears
Cake decorating writer gel in green, pink, red, black, and white
1 tube each of white, red, and pink cake decorator frosting with flower tip
red food coloring
ice cream or lollipop sticks
wax paper or paper plates
Instructions: Spread peanut butter onto the flat side of the cookies. Place an ice cream stick into the peanut butter on half the cookies. Top with another cookie so the stick is sandwiched between the two cookies. See below.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, one minute, then in 20 second increments, stirring until smooth. Before melting, seperate the white chips into two bowls. After melting, add a few drops of red food coloring to one of the bowls of white chips to make pink chocolate.
Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely. Roll pops in red and white sprinkles and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
Decorate as you wish with the remaining items! ENJOY!

The book retails for $19.99 on Frommers.com --- but you can get it for $12.77 at Wal-mart.

Lunch Shopping Spree
We've been tracking this site for awhile now and although we can't look into the future and see what you will see when you click on the link to their site...we think it's cool enough to dish about here.
So, what is it that we're talking about...it's called Delight. It's a cool site that features a new item each day at noon for a great price. The catch is they only have a limited amount of this one particular item - so if you snooze - you lose.
They also have some neat stuff that they keep "in stock" all the time - so don't forget to check out those items as well....but what we really love is the daily deal at noon....very fun!
