Red Thread Design ~ Caterpillar Dress

Anyone who knows me can tell you that I have a slight addiction to children’s clothing.  I spend more time and money on dressing my toddlers than I do myself.  Maybe it’s because they are so cute or maybe it’s because they simply have better clothes.  I am always searching for good quality, versatile, and unique items for them to wear and it is a happy day in our household when that occurs… even more so when it’s super cute.  That said, you can imagine my thrill at opening up a little package from one Red Thread Design.

The Caterpillar Dress is a super cute dress creatively designed to fit your child from roughly one to three years of age.  First, it is worn as a knee-length dress, then a short dress, and finally a swing top.  I had my doubts but this dress actually fit my super skinny baby and (almost) my size 5 kid.  What’s even better, it looked like it was meant to fit whoever was wearing it (as opposed to me trying to squeeze a too small dress onto my rather large kid).  The Caterpillar Dress really does grow along with your child.

The craftsmanship is fantastic and all of Red Thread Designs are 100% ethically made in Canada.  Our Caterpillar Dress washed up like a dream and kept looking good as new.  The fabrics are fun, and funky, and soft.  These dresses are unique enough to catch your attention but also fit nicely into already acquired (and sometimes bulging) wardrobes.  Truth be told, the only problem I can find with Red Thread Design’s Caterpillar Dresses is that they don’t come in my size.

You Name It Baby ~ Snack Packs

Have you ever put your hand in your purse in search of your wallet, only to pull out a mouldy sippy cup of milk?  Ever forget to feed your kids until you’re half way out the door?  Perhaps you’re tired of having to make Timbit runs to ensure that your kids make it through until lunch.  If this sounds like you, you are not alone.  This has been my daily routine until recently.

You Name It Baby makes unique and personalized gifts for babies and toddlers and they also make snack packs.  Snack packs that are large enough to fit in what the girls need but are still small enough for them to carry themselves (which means two less things for me to have to worry about).  They are super cute and have the kids’ name on them so that no one argues over who gets what.  The snack packs are insulated and easy to clean, and reasonably priced.  Better yet, they eliminate mouldy purse syndrome completely!  Can you find a snack pack elsewhere?  Sure.  But it won’t be as cute.  And as you all have come to know, cute is very important in this household! 

WIN IT: Win your own personalized snack pack from You Name It Baby!   Send an email to contests@wundermums.com with “SNACK PACK” in the subject line and the answer to this question: How many designs do the beach cover up towels come in? Contest closes March 20^th, 2009. Good Luck!
