I'm on the hunt! The only thing i haven't bought yet is a diaper bag! I have searched and searched, and looked and looked, but cant find any like i see other people using. I'm looking for one that i can have my little ones name put on, something girly, but nothing extremely busy. I was told to look at Vera Bradley, so i did, and there is just way to much going on.. Any ideas where i can find a cute, diaper bag that can be monogrammed, In the US or online?

I'm 25 weeks with my 2nd and I can't stop buying clothes!!! When I was pregnant with my first I bought him a few things but not that much. I mainly bought outfits he never wore, I had wish I had more gowns and sleepers until he was like 3 months b/c they were the most practical. So this time I'm stocking up on cute carters sleepers and gowns and socks and hats. I can't stop, everything is so cute! Is anyone else doing the same??? I'm also extremely anxious and want to wash all the clothes and pack my hospital bag. I don't remember being this anxious before. Is anyone else that way too?

I have a 5 month old baby and when she was born I had a thermometer for the room and the guidelines for bedding, when I tried this she was ice cold, then I added a layer and still ice cold, she sleeps in a 23 degree room with 2 sheets and 2 blankets and only then is she just very slighly cool-warm. The guidelines say that she should have no where near this amount of bedding and room should be kept at 18 degreed, I feel her chest and her stomach for a tempearture check not her hands. Does anyone else have this problem? also I use sleeping bags (grobags) and to be comfortable she needs a vest and a sleepsuit in a 2.5 tog bag in a 22 degree room, why is my baby different from the given guidelines?

Hi. My coworkers and family are throwing me a baby shower in about 3 weeks. Since they won't let me be do anything but "show up", I would really like to do something to say thank you. So I wanted to make gift favors. I found a cute Christian thank you verse that I'm gonna print out and make into notes to hang off of the gift bags, and I wanna have Hershey kisses. Anyone have any ideas as to what else I should put in the bag. I'm really working on a budget, and can't afford to get personalized mint jars (??) or anything like that, but would really like to make this special.
I read some people put together a bag of stuff they craved durin their pregnancy.. But I didn't really crave that many things... So I'm lost... Help.. Ideas.. Website links. Thanks in advance.

I am traveling from the US to see friends in Brisbane, Australia and would like to know about bringing food into the country. I'm going to be preparing traditional, American chili con carne and want to bring the prepackaged (dry) seasonings I always used. I'm also interested in bringing in a packaged bag of my favorite ground coffee and a jar of picante sauce and perhaps BBQ sauce (it's a regional manufacturer). I know I'll have to take special care of any products in glass containers, but are there any rules for packaged food products?

None of the ingredients can be used to grow anything (ie. no seeds or living plant material) and will be used solely in food preparation. If it's too much a hassle, I'll leave them at home, but thought I'd check and see if someone knew the regulations or could direct me in the right direction. I wanted to bring some foods from home to share. Thanks.

I am trying to begin a home buisness saleing hand made baby items like diaper bags, toddler bags, name banners, small baby quilts, and bib gift sets. All items would be cross stiched. Toddler bags and diaper bags would come with bottle/sippy elastics and velcro closers. They would also be personalized with a name and designs like dinosaurs, butterflies, ballarinas, farm/ tractor, princesses, sports, and Precious momments. The bibs would be grouped in two per set and framed. They would feature, storks or nursery rhymes, etc. The banners would be easy to hang and the colors would be customizable. They would also feature the designs found on the bags.

Since there are so many parents on here, I just wanted to ask. Would you be interested in something like this for your child? If so, please tell me how much you would pay per bag, bib set, name banner, and quilt.

Thank you.
