Juli Auclair: Here at Parents TV, we are constantly receiving great products for babies, kids, and moms too; and you'll often find us playing with the toys in the office to see how they work. We'll today we wanted to share some of the products that we love with you. So, first if you like to workout or you do yoga, you're gonna love this line of clothing by Our Love Yoga. It's not only comfortable, but it's affordable too. They have great stuff for mom. I love the chakra tank with the burnout tunic over it; it's so soft, and look at these great lotus fitness pants; these are perfect because they are long, I like that; and for babies, the Baby Buddha and the Teeny Yoginis Onesie, so adorable; gotta get those for your babies. Okay moving on to Michele Baratta at Home jewelry collection, I just love this. Her designs were inspired by her children and her grandmother. They're just beautiful and they're really different. The picture frame pendants that you see here can hold photos of your kids or who ever is really near and dear to your heart. My husband and children gave me one, it's a bracelet. Does not have the locket, I wear it every single day. They gave it to me for Mother's Day, really like this. Okay, little girls like to wear jewelry too, not just mom. So, we've got something for your baby girl too. It's really cute, it's right here, and it's called Bumble Bells. They're expendable sterling silver anklets, hear that. They've got tiny bells on them for toddlers and babies. You'll always know where your baby is, if they're crawling around with one of this on. Gwen Stefani is a fan of these; she bought one for baby Zuma who is wearing it in this picture. And Bumble Bells is safety certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Okay, if you're having a hard time potty training your toddler, we've got a great kit that can help; the Potty Tots Training Program is for boys and girls. Inside is a great book about the Potty Tots to read with your kids, a DVD with animated story, and Potty Tots songs, and a really cute football inspired progress chart; everything is in 1 box instead of 13 separate DVDs, books, and charts, such a great idea. Now, I wish this next product was available when I have my daughter Daniella, it's called Pumpy and its designed for mom's who are breastfeeding and pumping, and its hands free pumping support that holds the breast pump in place, just goes right through these 2 slits in the front, its like a stretchy strapless bra, which is great hooks right in the front there, the best thing is you can put it right over your nursing bra and this is gonna be huge for moms who you know wanna have there hands free to do other things or just relax when they're pumping, so great. Now, another product they really like is Dapple Baby Bottle in Dish Liquid. It's great for cleaning baby bottles, pacifiers, Sippy cups, breast pumps, and is good for adult dishes too, which is a bonus. Its natural base, it's paraben, Phtalate, SLES and dye-free, and there is also toy and surface cleaner, spray and wipes. I love that. Okay, did you ever wish that you could make your own granola so it could have like more dried fruit or maybe flax seed or nuts in it? Now you can. You just go to MixMyGranola.com to customake it. First you choose a base, organic or low-fat granola, french vanilla granola, or organic muesli, and then you just choose from almost 20 dried fruits, dried nuts, seeds, and then extras like choco chips, fruit loops, gummy bears, peanut butter bits, even candy corns; I know it sounds crazy, but its really yummy. Okay, from granola to candy. I'm a huge fan, a huge fan of Qbel all-natural chocolate candy bar made by a dad who wanted to give his kids a treat that he could feel really good about. No artificial colors, no artificial flavors or preservatives, no high fructose, corn syrup or hydrogenated oils; isn't that huge? And here's the best part, they taste amazing. There are few different kinds, there's milk chocolate, dark chocolate, wafer rolls, crispy rice bars, I'm gonna save this and I'm gonna eat it later, it's my favorite, it's the dark chocolate wafer roll, love it, its heaven in a roll, right there. Okay, we're moving on now to reading. I love reading with my kids and we have received some great books lately. Look at this one for starters, Baby Signs. This is so cute, not only adorable; but it will help your baby communicate with you by learning a sign language. You'll learn 15 signs like yes and no, and I love you, and pop-up tabs on every page, make it a whole lot of fun for you and your baby. The next book is The Zoo's Shoes. It's so fantastic. I can't wait to try this with my son when he gets just a little bit older. Kids can practice tying their shoes as they read along, it's all this laces here, and by the end of the book, they have tied all of the animals shoes; so cute. Now, I have seen books before where you can insert the names of children, but never anything like this, its called The First Adventures of Incredible You. You go to their website, custommadeforkids.com and answer about 20 questions about your child and all those details were inserted into an adorable story about your child. They made this one for my son Dylan. We read it over and over and over. Okay, Tessy and Tab books now. Not only that most kids love books, but they loved getting them in the mail. So, this is the best of both worlds. The Tessy and Tabs Reading Club is the first kids magazine subscription that promotes early independent reading for kids ages 2 to 6. They get 2 magazines a month with titles like Take a Bath and Share New Toys. The other series is Clark the Baby Shark, it's a reading toy for babies from 9 to 24 months old. They'll love the pictures and a textured handles, which are BPA-free. Okay, there is a new series of DVDs that we think you're really gonna like it, it's called Global Wonders. [Music Playing] They're entertaining and educational, and introduce kids to many different cultures as they travel through India, Mexico, and around the world. Finally moving in the toys, The Qubits Construction Toy is one of our favorites. It's a new-age geometric building set that's designed by an architect. Now, because the Qubits pieces are made of bendable plastic, kids can build all sorts of 3D structures and even construct a ball. The possibilities here are just endless and introduce kids to the basics of geometry, architecture, and engineering. Well what kid does not love bubbles? And this is a particularly cool bubble machine; it's The Gazillion Bubble Rocket. You just pour bubbles into the tray, put the rocket on the launcher, and step on it to make it soar, leaving a huge trail of bubbles. My kids had a blast in our driveway launching it over and over. You will want to buy a huge tag of bubbles to go with it. So, these are just a few of the products that we love. If you have something that you think we might like, send me a tweet at twitter.com/parentstvjuli or email us at ideas@parents.tv. Thanks for watching. We'll see you soon.
