Celebrate! Songs for American Holidays - Recipient of multiple Adding Wisdom Awards and The National Parenting Center "Seal of Approval", this CD sets a new standard in educational songs. Performed by top Los Angeles musicians and produced by award-winning composer Richard Geere, these songs make holiday projects or presentations all the more special. Children singing these well-crafted songs can learn about Martin Luther King Jr., Mount Rushmore (Presidents' Day), Old Glory and more - including fun, catchy songs for Valentine's and Mother's Day.

Producer Richard Geere worked closely with experienced teachers to find songs that they needed but could not find. The result was "Celebrate!" which has subsequently been endorsed by teachers, parents, organizations and - most importantly - children across the country. A timeless album that you will use throughout the year. Buy it on Amazon!

This widely acclaimed album features relaxing music by 12 of the world's greatest composers.

C-Panty The After Cesarean Underwear
A high-quality, pull-on and go panty (all we moms have time for!), C-Panty utilizes an incision area support panel as well as an inner silicone layer.

Designed by a two-time C-section mom with a team of therapists, surgeons and other C-moms, C-Panty incorporates technology from Bio Med Sciences www.silon.com, an award winning company specializing in wound care and scar management. C-Panty is also made in the USA with a premium, nylon and spandex blend fabric that provides the perfect amount of shaping and compression without feeling like a boa-constrictor control panty!

Designed to flatter and fit the post-partum mom, it is not a granny panty, but not too skimpy either. C-Panty is seamless, low-rise, medium cut and washable. See http://www.cpanty.com for more information.

Dose Keeper helps caretakers keep track of when last dosage was given.
Dose Keeper helps more than one caregiver keep track of when the last dosage was given between multiple caregivers and moms and dads.

Kissaluvs Wipes
Stretch Terry

Custom-knit in the USA to our specifications.
Knit terry, unlike woven terry, has built-in stretch. Not as much as the fleece, but enough for a little extra "oomph!" in sizing.
100% cotton loops. A touch of poly (10%) in the base adds durability, and knit construction ensures that only cotton touches baby's skin.
Thicker, heavier, more absorbent than cotton fleece.
Pre-shrunk.
The Kissaluvs terry is "burley terry," a rugged, absorbent terry heavier than most. It's not stiff and scratchy, but neither is it short-loop and sparse like baby-terry. This is serious terry for maximum absorbency! We add no softeners to the fabric, as they would only wash out and inhibit initial absorbency anyway.
Unbleached fabric has a natural beige color, slightly darker than the cotton fleece

See http://www.kissaluvs.com for more styles and information.
Buy it on Amazon!

Kissaluvs Diapers
This is a three pack set of the famous Kissaluvs diapers, known for quality fabrics and terrific fit. These diapers are made of wonderfully soft, absorbent, and durable cotton fleece. Stretchy elastic and fabrics create a snug-fit without binding. Elastic at the legs and back contain messes. Unique fit with low-rise front and full coverage back fit easily into diaper covers. Size 0 features a snap-down umbilical cord zone and adjustable rise. All sizes have durable plastic snaps and let you overlap the wings to get a great fit on even the thinnest baby. Uniquely spaced adjustable wing snaps provide numerous options depending on your babies build for a custom fit. The simple design is especially popular with dads and babysitters! 90% unbleached cotton, 10% polyester. See http://www.kissaluvs.com for more styles and information.
