Another Etsy find: Love this onesie!

My father once (well, probably several times!) said, "I eat to live; I don't live to eat," when  contrasting his contentment with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and my love for a yummier, pricier dinner out.  For that reason, and because I am a proponent of breastfeeding for those who choose, I adore this shirt.  You gotta love etsy!!  Visit www.moonpathdesigns.etsy.com to find this and other organic screen-printed designs.

Baby planners rock the ABC Kids Show in Vegas!

It's been a verry busy Fall here at PBC!  Lots to blog about, not the least of which was a trip to Vegas with a toddler "in tow" to attend the annual ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas!  A two-story convention center a football field long full of new and exciting baby, toddler, kid and parent products couldn't fail to amaze (and exhaust!). 

"Premier Picks" and more photos to follow, but in the meantime, here's a snapshot of most of the baby planners who made it to Vegas.  It was awesome to get together with the ladies of the National Baby Planner Association, whom I chat with on conference calls each month!  Looking forward to next year!
