Cookie...upscale new parenting magazine

There are a bunch of parenting magazines out there, and we all have our favorites. The next time your at the bookstore check out Cookie or visit their website at www.cookiemag.com. You can get a sneak peek into their next issue. It features fashion, home, travel, entertainment and health for parents and their children.

It's not your traditional "baby magazine." The category is changing. Category leader Parenting started to research in 2002 what women wanted in parenting magazines, says Jeff Wellington, vice president and group publisher. The answer, he says, was content that felt more like Vogue and Elle, magazines they read before having children. It's worth checking it out!

Is your toddler getting you down? Feel like you've got a monster on your hands? These monster shirts from Dishy Duds are a riot! There are six monster faces tee's to choose from. These soft cotton tee's are available in sizes 3 months through youth 10.

Desperate Housewives...a video game?

Okay, I'll admit that my Sunday nights are filled with Wisteria Lane (okay, fine Grey's Anatomy as well). But a video game? Disney's Buena Vista is releasing a PC video game based on the Desperate Housewives tv show. I'm not really sure who would actually buy a Desperate Housewives video game. I can't see a 9 year old too excited about scandals and affairs of a 30-40 year old woman. But this is the new technology age, so maybe there's housewives out there looking for something to fill that empty "hmm... I need a computer game" hole in her life.

Classic Vintage Tee's

No ducks or bunny's here. Altru vintage tee's are hip and cool for boys and girls. Remember the "sorry charlie" ad campaign with that witty blue tuna fish always out smarting that fishermen? Take a look at some of their tee's they offer, your sure to love them.

Egg Pet Plants

Recently, my daughter brought home from Kindergarten her most recent prized possession, her grass plant she grew in a lovely white styro foam cup. She asks to place it prominently in the kitchen window and waters it daily. If you've got a horticulturist on your hands and would like to be spared the stylish styro foam cup, these egg pet plants will fit the bill! Easter is right around the corner, you may even be able to swap out a chocolate bunny for the egg pet plant and save those teeth! You can find them at store.yahoo.com/zebrahall/600853-.html or you can get one FREE with an order here www.trendytogs.com. Still looking for that Easter or Spring dress, check out Deux par Deux they've got an adorable knit floral dress with a matching cardigan!

Our two favorites for girls shoes this Spring are: Lelli Kelly Dahlia Dolly and Naturino 7720 (I know, Naturino needs to work on a little creativity there). The Lelli Kelly Dahlia Dolly shoes just flat out rock! Great slip on canvas shoes with some definite funk and pizzaz (and very reasonably priced)! The Naturino 7720 is every little girls dream shoe, pink, pink and more pink! Satin mary jane with a pink flower--just darling!
