ZoloWear Slings - the ideal baby carrier

A friend recently brought the fabulous ZoloWear slings to my attention. Unlike the more restrictive and traditional Bjorn carriers, this hip and stylish ZoloWear sling will be a life-saver for me on those days when my 10 month old daughter Mackenzie wants to be held all the time – and my busy life needs to go on! The sling adjusts with a handy ring so I can rest my daughter on my hip and put my hands to work and go about my daily business. Even better ring slings can be used for children up to the age of 3. ZoloWear comes in nearly 20 super fun and stylish patterns – and is priced right. Prices range from $60 for a hip cotton sling to $160 for a sling made in gorgeous silk brocade material. If you can’t decide on a pattern, ZoloWear will allow you to select 3 options and they will send you swatches of each to help you make your decision. ZoloWear has received tons of buzz in the press lately. ZoloWear slings have been featured in Parents Magazine and on the Today Show. Rumor has it that celebrity Moms like Jennifer Garner and Angelina Jolie have even been given these hot slings as gifts.

If your tot is an Elmo fan, than pre-order the new 10 year anniversary edition of Tickle Me Elmo. All details on this new Elmo are being kept "Top Secret" - even from company employees. The new Elmo is going to be called TMX Elmo. The X celebrates the 10 year anniversary from the original smash hit Tickle Me Elmo. My little girl Mackenzie adores Elmo. I swear she tries to say Elmo whenever we see him as toy, on TV, in a book, or even on a sippy cup. Sounds like this might be Mackenzie's 1st birthday gift this October. You can pre-order now for $40 at all of the major retailers. They will be released on Sept. 19th. Until then, all product features are under wraps. This one will likely be sold out come the holidays. Maybe, I should pre-order a few to sell on eBay!
