When disaster strikes, many of us want to do something to help. But during an unstable economy it can be hard to find the funds to donate. Well yesterday we caught wind of a great fundraising effort for the victims of the devastating earthquake that recently hit Haiti. Money Saving Mom has pledged to donate $10 to Compassion’s outreach in Haiti for every person who blogs about this effort and leaves their link on her site! If you are looking for a way to help raise money for those less fortunate, please visit her site for more details.

Baby Shower Gift of the Week: Car Seat Snuggle

Posted on Jan 04

Brrr! Winter is upon us, and protecting a newborn baby from the elements can be challenging. It’s no wonder this wacky but genius idea was created in the Windy City.

What is it you ask? It’s a car seat snuggle, of course! In frigid temperatures, the cozy fleece completely covers your car seat carrier, protecting baby from the howling winds, hail, sleet, or snow while you make a dash from the car. The designers thought of everything: there’s access to the handle, a window to see baby, and vents for air flow.

We found this item, designed by Babbaco., perusing the website of one of our favorite stores, Chicago’s Psychobaby, which carries the best in cool kid gear. The Babbaco. snuggle comes in several colors and different styles, including a pink piggie, or a pretty paisley print.
