The Twig Helps Fat Brain Toys Branch Out

By lauren

Fat Brain Toys focuses on open-ended educational toys that get kids playing and thinking. Fat Brain is a family-owned company, started by Web Designer Mark Carson and his wife Karen in 2002. Their son had received a GeoMag set of magnetic building pieces as a gift. When Mark realized how difficult it was to find on the Internet, the Carsons developed a plan to make these types of toys available to more kids, and Fat Brain Toys was born!

Momma's Got a Brand New Bag — Shoulder Diaper Bag by Baya

By ashley

I’ve had the pleasure of using the Chocolate Collection Shoulder Diaper Bag by Baya for a several weeks. As a busy mom to my two-year old daughter, this bag fit in perfectly with my lifestyle. Being a thrifty mom, the bag’s $98 retail price isn’t something I would typically purchase for myself. However, since it comes with so many extras, I could justify the expense. It includes coordinating changing pad, insulated bottle/baby food holder, wipe case and a wallet, which is my favorite. Keeps me looking stylish while only carrying one bag. It is nice to have the matching changing pad which rolls up and is stored loose in the bag.

KidShow - Las Vegas, Nevada (8/31/09 - 9/2/09)

Kudos to KidShow for hosting another great trade event at Bally’s, Las Vegas. Denise Raeside, and her entire team, work hard to create a welcoming, relaxed and friendly shopping environment for manufacturers, designers and retailers to meet, greet and get down to business for Spring 2010. KidShow’s traditional perks include a free breakfast, lunch and snacks every day. It’s especially nice that the dining tables are round and large so vendors and retailers can visit and get to know each other in a relaxed, comfortable setting.

Here are a few exhibitors that really captured our attention at the event: Starting Green,Lexi Kate Designs, Princess Teeza, Jen’s Ideas, and Cacamamie.

Meet Mothers of Invention at The ABC Expo, Sept 13-16

By david gaunt

Mom Inventors Help Build the Baby Business with Inspired Inventions!
This week, The Giggle Guide^® will highlight some new products and line extensions premiering at The ABC Kids Expo, Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept 13-16.

SummerMuff is a soft sac that lines infant carriers, strollers and joggers to provide baby comfort and protection from the sun’s harmful ways. It’s invented by a mom, Colleen Schropfer, who brought the product to market after looking for something to protect her own child. Dipe n’ Go is another real-life solution to a problem that inspired mom Rose Marie Iskowitz to change the way parents change diapers on-the-go. At the ABC Show, oftentimes, moms are the mothers of invention!

We are Back!

By NoSlippy

Hello everyone! It is good to be home. I am sorry for the lengthy time in between posts but a last minute event prevented me from letting you know I was going away and I was unable to access a computer while I was gone. I did have a wonderful 2 weeks though! I spent time with family and had the pleasure of witnessing a dear friends wedding. I just love weddings, don’t you? Two people starting their lives together, truly in love, ripe with all the promise new love can bring.
