The baby show recapped

Lucy and I had lots of fun at the Durham Parent show this weekend (although note to the organizers: when you invite moms to a baby show, expect them to bring their giant strollers AND MAKE THE DAMN AISLES BIG ENOUGH!).

Our best deal was a brand new pair of Robeez for just $20, on sale at The Cuddly Bunny‘s booth (also an Ugly Baby Clothes Contest sponsor). I also discovered a home grown version of the no-slip barrette, from a Whitby mompreneur named Janet of barette.jpgSugar and Spice Bows. The little cuties stayed put in Lucy’s hair for hours until, of course, Lucy realized they were there and yanked them out.

Did you know Whitby has an upscale baby boutique? I never actually saw them at the show (see: AISLES, above), but grabbed Ben and Hailey’s card. Will hopefully get out there in the next week or so. And you must check out Tamarra’s funky online store (pink skull shoes!) called Lollipops & Lizards, based out of Pickering.

Lucy actually got a ton of attention over the Munchkin Snack Catcher I wrote about the other day. Everyone kept stopping us and asking about it.

And we saw the wonderful Sara, and beautiful Karen of Wee Hands, who was glowing because…she’s pregnant! Karen’s due in September with a big brother or sister for Elizabeth — let the countdown begin! (and thanks for the Cheerios, ladies!)

    Carly: Where did you get the Munchkin Snack Catcher? I would like to buy one for Pearl (I like that it has handles!), but don’t want to have to run all over to find one.

    Hi Carolyn,

    I know, the handles are the best part about it (that and the stars, which are my favrourite ever)! I picked mine up at Once Upon a Child in Ajax. They’ve got a great Munchkin section. I can’t remember how much it was ($4.99? $7.99?) but definitely under $10. And worth every penny!

    oops hit the wrong button!

    I also bookmarked the Lollipops and Lizards store. I love the little shoes that say How’s My Crawling? on the bottom. I do believe my new due in August granddaughter will need a pair of those!
