Watching baby take those first teetering steps is an unforgettable moment for parents. For this special milestone, it is only right for little ones to be geared up in the best footwear. Like many mothers, Johanna Parker was frustrated that most socks quickly slipped off her baby daughter’s feet. Johanna then came up with the brilliant idea to make shoes for her daughter, Kaya, using soft cotton fabric and non-skid soles. Kaya loved her comfy, custom-made shoes so much, that Johanna was inspired to start up her business, Kaya’s Kloset, offering fantastically fun shoes that have kids steppin’ out in style!

Many parents don’t have the luxury of a large garage or spacious spot to accommodate all their family “wants,” so they quickly learn to focus on family “needs” instead. However, even storing necessities alone can be a real challenge in a studio or tiny apartment. For families with small children, a stroller is essential, but strollers can take up a lot of valuable room and add little aesthetic appeal to a stylish apartment. MetroTOTS understands this dilemma for urban dwellers living in small spaces, and offers the very necessary, one-and-only, StrollAway — an ingenious over-the-door storage solution that neatly tucks away bulky strollers.

Beba Bean began its business by solving a piddly diapering problem parents of boys know all too well — avoiding getting showered by the fountain of youth! After the birth of her second child, Alex, Lisa Malcic noticed that no product existed to prevent wee willie’s weeing all over her and her husband, Peter. Thus, she was inspired to create the Pee-pee Teepee™, the topper that conveniently contains old faithful’s trouble that starts with a “P”!

Spring 2011 comes from inspirations of fabric,monkeys, and requests from my daughter for full, “round and round” skirts and dresses. The skirts are cute alone or with a petticoat or tutu underneath for more fullness. Peaceful monkeys wear shades, give signs of peace, and spin round and round in hula hoops. They try to catch butterflies but catch laughs and smiles instead.
