SANTA BABY: Trendy Remedy

If you have a little boy, you probably feel my pain when I complain about little boy clothing.
It's all the same. Fleece two piece outfits with footballs, dinosaurs, ect. While they are cute, I get bored with it easily. So I spend lots of time on the internet trying to find neat-o clothes for my baby boy. Trendy Remedy is one of my favorite online boutiques!

"Trendy Remedy is all about hip unique baby and toddler clothes and gifts for boys and girls! Our goal is to stay in tune with the latest vibe and trends in the children's clothes industry and present them to you in a way that is simple to shop. Think of Trendy Remedy as your personal shopper. Our team of stylists will dig through all the clutter in the market today and bring you a condensed selection of the best of the best. Don’t think that you’re going to find name brands that are found in department stores. We scour the market to find the newest and coolest designers and products that also offer a great value for parents, friends and family looking for stylish baby clothes and gifts."

I don't think that Trendy Remedy has a product that I don't like!
I love (and want) it all!

I especially like the What Happens in Preschool tee
Skully Rock Royalty Two-fer
and the distressed skull baby hat

Caden received the Honor Thy Mother Hoodie ($34.99) for review purposes.

Product Description:
"This "Honor Thy Mother" hoodie is perfect for little boys who want to give props to mama! A classic, all-purpose zipped sweatshirt. Perfect for layering. 100% California Fleece cotton, combed for softness and comfort Kangaroo pocket. Stretchy, comfortable hood. Stretchy, comfortably fitted double-stitched cuffs and hem."

I LOVE this hoodie. I picked it out because it was unique. It looked like something my teenage brother or 24 year old husband would wear... it's cool and hip! I received it fairly quickly and was a little worried about the size when I received it. It looked like it might be a bit snug. That is until I tried it on him! It actually fit great... and I could see that it was made to be more of a fitted hoodie, not baggy. I love that it is so different looking, not the average, run of the mill little baby boy outfit! We've received so many complements each time Caden sports his Trendy Remedy Hoodie!

Make sure to check out Trendy Remedy. I know that I focused primarily on the boys side but they do carry girls clothing also! Everything is super cute... Your sure to LOVE it!

CLOSED: SANTA BABY: Tiny Soles

SANTA BABY'S GIFT PICK FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!

Shoes are an obsession in our house. Zac and I have overflowing shoe baskets (two of them!) and Caden's shoe drawer is getting a little crowded. (Mind you, it seems like he grows out of a pair of shoes almost everyday.) But I knew that Caden's shoe drawer was in trouble when I came across TinySoles.

"TinySoles is a shoe store dedicated to providing the most complete selection of stylish, comfortable shoes for babies, infants, toddlers and kids. We personally test all of our shoe brands on our own kids first and if we don't love them, we don't sell them. Not only do we care about what you put on your child's feet, we want to provide you with a hassle-free shopping experience with superior customer service. As parents, we know your time is precious. Our goal is to keep your children's feet happy, comfortable and stylish while making shopping a pleasurable experience. We aim to be your one-stop shoe source for baby, infant, toddler, and kid shoes. We are constantly searching for the best new products available to provide our customers with the greatest selection of quality footwear. Our store prides itself on being a mother-friendly and supportive workplace. When you call to speak with one of our knowledgeable staff, you might hear the happy sounds of tiny voices in the background."
After much deliberation we received the Pediped Kyle in White and Navy for review purposes. I had a hard time picking which shoes to review because of the extent of their selection! They have the best shoe brands and styles, including Pedipeds, See Kai Run, Robeez, Eleven, and more! Not only do they offer shoes but accessories as well! Check out TinySoles Sole Accessories tab for everything from hats and mittens to socks, tights, and hairbows!

I was very impressed when we quickly received our Pediped Kyles. Upon opening the box I found a neatly tissue-paper wrapped Pediped box, TinySoles and Pediped company information, and a SUPER cute tiny foot shaped sucker! Such nice, fun touches!

I ordered the Pediped Kyle shoes a bit big since Caden has been constantly growing lately! I wanted them to fit for a while. I was a bit disappointed when we tried them on and they were only a TINY bit big. They will probably last through the rest of the year but not much longer :(
Other than that they are absolutely GORGEOUS! They go great with everything and stay on his feet! :) (Every mom knows thats a HUGE plus!) I like that the strap across is velcro so that I can adjust it to fit his foot width. That especially helps with actually keeping the shoe on Caden's foot.

Overall I was EXTREMELY pleased with TinySoles and the Pediped shoes we received. They were so kind and helpful with the shoe selection process and fast to get them to me! I will definitely be ordering from them again!
