Gap's New Shoe Store

Red Hot Leather Peep Toe Platforms


Peep toe platforms are HOT this season..and it doesn't get any hotter than these firey red peep toe platforms by Boutique 58. I found these shoes at Gap's recently launched e-commerce site called piperlime.com. Their new site features shoes for men, women, kids and babies from about 100 different high-end brands. Gap has streamlined their selection of different brands to include the best of each brand. Piperlime does not carry shoes made by Gap or Banana Republic. Prices range from $20 - $300 +.

These platforms would look fabby with black toe nailpolish - also very hot this season.

Madonna Adoption

I just read this story about Madonna's recent adoption of a 13-Month Old Malawian boy named David Banda. Madonna has adopted this boy who would otherwise live in an orphanage and perhaps starve to death or worse in the poverty stricken country. A human rights group is trying to prove that the adoption process was hurried along due to Madonna's celebrity and they are concerned that all the proper laws were not followed. If the parents of the child and Madonna have agreed that she will raise this child as her own, I don't understand why the human rights group is having problems with this. The picture above (courtesy of the Associate Press) shows Madonna with Lourdes, Rocco and David. Lourdes looks just like Madonna as a child.

On October 17th, 2006 Madonna wrote:

"My husband and I began the adoption process many months prior to our trip to Malawi. I did not wish to disclose my intentions to the world prior to the adoption happening as this is a private family matter. After learning that there were over one million orphans in Malawi, it was my wish to open up our home and help one child escape an extreme life of hardship, poverty and in many cases death, as well as expand out family. Nevertheless, we have gone about the adoption procedure according to the law like anyone else who adopts a child. Reports to the contrary are totally inaccurate. The procedure includes an l8 month evaluation period after which time we hope to make this adoption permanent. This was not a decision or commitment that my family or I take lightly. I am overwhelmed and inspired by my trip to Malawi and hope that it helps bring attention to how much more the world needs to do to help the children of Africa. My heartfelt thanks for all the good wishes I have received and I hope the press will allow my family some room for us to experience the joy we feel to have David home. Madonna Ritchie October 17, 2006 London, England"

Get Your ZZZzz's

Because babies are initially in the warm uterus of the mother, newborns prefer smaller, cozy areas to sleep, such as bassinets. During the first few weeks, newborns sleep at lot, mostly in between feedings.
If placing toys in a crib make sure that they are safe andchild-proof. Never place battery operated toys in a crib, as they may leak toxic chemicals. Do not use blankets to cover your baby, until she can roll both ways from front to back, or back to front. Using blankets too early on can lead to your child suffocating.
A car ride can be a neat trick if the baby is colicky. Simply place your baby safely in the car seat and cautiously drive for a bit until the baby falls asleep. Gently place the baby back to sleep securely in the home crib, after you arrive back home.
Your baby will start to be awake more and require less sleep after a while, usually after about three months of age. Open the blinds or curtains in the baby's room in between naps to help your baby to differentiate between night and day. Talk or sing to your baby between nap times to try to stimulate her.
At night time, allow baby to relax by initiating peaceful times. Even at that young age, your baby is quite smart. She will gradually be able to recognize bed time quickly enough. Don't play or talk with your baby if she wakes up or cries during the night for feedings. This will be a hard pattern to break later on. After feeding, immediately place the baby back to sleep.
To lengthen bed time hours, try speaking and singing to your child for longer periods of time during the day. By engaging her in longer periods of activity, you will stretch your child's amount of sleep time.
Allow for few stimulants in your baby's room. Just like adults sleep better with fewer disturbances, babies are even more sensitive to stimuli. Dim the lights around bedtime to help your baby to prepare for sleep. Don't forget that your baby was inside of you for quite a while, hearing your heart beating. Assist your baby to adjust to this change more easily by trying to imitate some of the sounds inside the womb. You can do this by running a dryer or a fan. Relaxation tapes that imitate the ocean or rainfall are great substitutes and will save you money on electricity.If you initiate a regular quiet time at night, your baby can adjust to a fairly constant bedtime.
Babies and toddlers thrive on routine. Sometimes a warm bath or a comfort object such as a soft blanket or favorite stuffed toy helps when Mom and Dad are out of the room. Please be sure that you select your sleep time items carefully, always keeping safety in mind. Be sure to always adapt bed time rituals to your child's age. Also note that every child is different. Not all babies need the same amount of sleep. Try to familiarize yourself with how long your baby sleeps and note when she wakes up. Once you know yourbaby's rhythm, it will be easier to establish a sleeping pattern and soon enough you will be getting your zzz...s.

Website for Dads

Michael and Nada Arnot conceived thefunkystork.com when they learned that they were expecting a baby. After taking some time to get used to the whole idea, Nada hunted for books to learn more about what she should expect when she was expecting. Surprisingly, there were only a few resources available for Mike and other expectant fathers.
Thus, thefunkystork.com was born. Working with a great advisory team, which was comprised of experts in prenatal care, nutrition, exercise and psychology, thefunkystork.com concept became a reality. After many late evenings, early mornings and weekends, the website was successfully launched in October 2005.

Customer Testimonial

October, 2006

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am to have received such great customer services with your company.My boss will be having a little girl next month - and everyone knows already that this child will be trendy. Therefore, I was looking for unique gifts and found your company on the celebrity baby blog website. I ordered the fashionista onesie by Uncommonly Cute. First of all, I was pleased with the price. Secondly, I ordered it late one afternoon with standard shipping and received it within about 3 days of the order. Lastly, even though I did not order the gift-wrapping, I still received the onesie wrapped in tissue paper with your company sticker instead of plastic wrapping.You have such a great selection of clothing and gift ideas. Needless to say, I will be checking your website often for great deals and cute baby clothing for my little boy who is 5 months old and fashionista little girl who is 6 year old.

Thank you again for such great service,

Monday's Unsolicited Parenting Advice

Words of parenting wisdom for today: Stick to your guns

Toddlers especially will test your patience like you wouldn't believe. It is during this time that it's important to remember that you are the parent. Do not let your child bully you. Parenting can be very tiring at times, and sometimes it seems so much easier to give in to the child when it will stop the tantrum. This is a HUGE mistake. Kids will test you..they really want to know how tough you are since they know that you are in charge of their well-being. If you back down- they will act better but they will also lose a sense of security. After all, if they can push you around how can you take care of them? If you stay strong and stand your ground..your child may complain but will still feel safe knowing that their caregiver is competent and strong.
