Knee Bouncers

The Buddy is totally intrigued with the computer and always wants to mash the buttons when we are working...{er or facebooking}. So I thought the Knee Bouncers website would be a hit and BOY was it!


There are several games that help teach colors, numbers and letters by simply pushing any button!

They even have an app for it...now I just need a dang iphone. Try it out and see if your buddy loves it too.

Time to Party Tuesday: Party like a Rockstar!

I am always on the look out for great boy parties and came across this one a couple of months ago. The theme is fun and the ideas are unique! This is one that everybody can get into.


Perfect centerpieces put together with Dollar store votives, clearanced M&Ms, wrapping paper and clipart! Just another reminder that perfect party supplies don't have to be expensive :o)


Remember to continue your theme in every part of your party like this clever drink sign.


Favor bags are another great place to continue your theme. Aren't these clever??



Go visit fellow 'Boy Mom', Laurie to see more! I am anxious to see her future parties!

Do you have a boy party to share with us? We would love to see it!! Please email it to pedicurestopuddles@yahoo.com.

"To Infinity...

I don't know about you, but we are hearing this phrase a lot in our house lately. The buddy is loving Toy Story and we are contemplating it being his first movie in theaters. If you have been out and about in the last couple of weeks, then you have seen the uproar of Toy Story gear! It is EVERYWHERE!

We have a standard at our house (as silly as it might sound) but we don't dress the buddy in characters. It just isn't my style. He can have it on his jammies and undies...things like that, but you won't see him in a Buzz Lightyear t-shirt. With that said, I have seen some cool gear out there. Check it out:


THIS is a 2 in 1 rocket/table and chairs set from Toys R Us $79.99.
I love that it stores in a space saving way! Can't go wrong with that. Plus if your buddy has a space themed room, this could be a cool addition.
I am not sure if you have gone to purchase a Buzz or Woody action figure lately, but they are pricey!! We found this perfect set for The  Buddy ($9.99). It is actually sold as diving sticks for the pool, but they are soft and durable. He loves them!


HERE is another option for a good sized Buzz for a fraction of the price ($7.99 at Toys R US)! It is Buzz Lightyear Bubble Bath and the helmet opens and closes! (you unscrew his head to get to bubble solution)


Lastly, I am totally intrigued by this find. We came across this 3D Water slide at Toys R Us today. It comes with a pair of 3D goggles that are supposed to make the characters jump at you while you are zooming past on the water slide! How fun does that sound!?!? 


PLUS: This week get a free Toy Story 3 Movie Ticket with any Toy Story purchase of $25 or more at Toys R Us. Purchase must be made in store. Movie will be released this Friday, June 18th!!

Puddle Jumpers


If you haven't seen a puddle jumper yet, I am excited to be the one to introduce it to you! My little buddy hasn't had a swimming lesson yet (I know shame, shame), but loves the water. I have been looking for a flotation device that would allow him to feel confident in the water but still safe...Voila! Puddle Jumper!


The patent pending design allows free range of motion and great stability while in the water. They have great faces on the front that your buddy will love too. I have seen them online anywhere from $15.00 to $34.00. I found The Buddy's last weekend at Tom Thumb...$12.00 with my TT card! A local swim teacher says that these are so great she expects them to be sold out once the word gets out, so run out and get yours now before they are gone!

"You know you're a 'boy mom' when...


...you find yourself accompanying your son outside to watch the trashmen work...

Submitted by fellow 'boy mom' Mandy (M.O.T.B)

PS..This reminds me of when my nephew told his mom that he wanted to be a trash man  when he grew up because they only work on Tuesdays...{grin}

Do you have a "You know you're a 'Boy Mom' when..." to share? We would love to hear it because I am sure we can ALL relate! Please send to pedicurestopuddles@yahoo.com.

My First Shades


Sunglasses for babies, toddlers, and kids should do two things:
** Provide 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays
** Be comfortable, attractive, and durable so they keep them on







This summer I am sure that your diaper bag is stocked with sunscreen for you little buddy, but have you considered protecting his eyes?? These kids sunglasses are Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) compliant, CE Certified and FDA Approved for protecting children’s eyes against dangerous exposure to UV-A and UV-B rays. They are lead-free and made of impact-resistant, shatterproof polycarbonate frames and lenses. There are a ton of styles and colors available, including sports styles. Some of these styles can even be fitted with prescription lenses!


My Buddy loves his Gymboree sunglasses, but won't leave them on. These stay in place with a stretchy neoprene band; which is great seeing how shades don't provide much protection if he keeps taking them off.  I am anxious to try these!

Plus!! I Found a coupon code:  Enter the code "coolbaby" for a 10% discount on My First Shades through July 31st

Happy Blankie!

Most mommys have a little one with a lovey, a favorite stuffed animal, and in some cases both. Boy mom, Emily, encouraged her then 7yr old son's creative idea of joining his little sister's love of her blankie and stuffed animal; thus creating Happy Blankie! 




Happy Blankie's are made of the most luxurious plush "minky" fabric and the silkiest charmeuse satin.You can even personalize them to make the perfect gift! Thread color is available in 13 shades.


My FAVORITE part of the Happy Blankie philosophy is their One to Love, One to Give program! Happy Blankie is donating blankies to children in need all over the world. YOU will be able to make a difference by choosing where you would like to give a blankie. When you receive your blankie you will be able to follow the instructions on the "giving is cool" tag in order to donate your second blanket.



Happy Blankie is changing the world, two blankies at a time, and we think that is Awesome!


(wouldn't this be perfect for the tiny Baylor Bear fans out there??)

Pedicures to Puddles thinks Boy-Mom, Emily and her little man, David totally Rock!! Run, don't walk to check them out! You can even enter your email address to win a FREE Blankie!!
