Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash
I love Burt's Bees and now I get to try the baby stuff too! It really is tearless and I love how my son's hair smells. Even 24 hours later there's a mild, sweet honey scent. The only downside is it's more expensive for a smaller bottle than most... +

I've tried several types of cloth diapers, and these are by far my favorite.
We started using this when our son was about 10 lbs, he's more than doubled in weight since then and the diapers are still fitting great. They've been used for about 6 months and other than fluff stuck in the velcro they look brand new.
We even use these overnight. I had a problem with leaking for a while but I just added an extra insert and now we're great!
I've also used the BumGenius diapers with snaps, but now that my son likes to squirm during diaper changes the hook & loop makes it much easier.
I've got about 25 cloth diapers, of which about 15 are bumGenius. They're my go-to diapers.
The initial investment is a bit daunting but they're worth it!
**from my preview it looks like the photo is wrong. The photo shows the bumGenius 4.0 with snaps.

I got a Kobo Touch for Christmas and loved it so much I got my husband one for his birthday two weeks later! Now we both curl up in bed at night with our Kobos. I'm a big reader and probably spend at least 15 hours a week using this.
It's nice that you can have several books on the go and it remembers your position in each.
I love that it's so lightweight and easy to use, I can even fit it in the back pocket of my jeans! I also like that books I buy on it are also read-able on my iphone/ipad through the Kobo app.
My one complaint has to do with e-readers in general. From my understanding I'm basically stuck with Kobo from now on as the books aren't transferable to Kindles or other e-readers.
Easy to use, love it!

Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Newborn Napper

We used this in our room for my son's first three months. It was great to have him beside us, diaper supplies and a designated changing place.
The play pen works great, the additions worked great. What I wasn't too happy about was packing it up. It all came packed in the carry bag when we purchased it, but when we tried to pack it all up for a move it didn't all fit. And we broke the zipper. But Graco was great and sent a replacement carry bag for free within a week. The playpen part fits in there just fine and we now use the broken bag to store the pices for the napper and change table for the next baby.
We use the playpen when we go visiting or traveling and he sleeps in it just fine.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

It's a bit pricey but there's often deals. I never buy it anyway, my husband usually throws a couple in my Christmas stocking and they last me the year. I'm very rough on my hands, but this keeps them soft and smooth! The smell isn't great, but it's also not overpowering. I have friends that are sensitive to scents but it doesn't bother them when I use it. It does sting a bit if you have any cuts or scrapes on your hands, but I imagine anything would. -

The price tag hurt a bit, especially as I had already tried and moved on from two other carriers. But in the end it was worth every penny! My son is over 20 lbs and I can easily carry him all day in this, front or back. It's comfortable, easy to use, and we both love it. My son (9 months) claps whenever he sees me put it on! Putting baby into the back carry is a little tricky at first, but I've got it figured out. When he was sick and wanted to snuggle all day I used this, and was still able to go aobut my day, doing laundry, etc. A fantastic product and a must for any mom interested in baby-carrying! -
BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Original City Black

My baby bjorn was great when my son was small. Once he hit about 16 lbs it was too uncomfortable to wear him for long periods of time. Also, I disliked that there was no back carry option with this carrier. There were days he wanted to be carried ALL DAY and it was difficult to wash dishes, etc with him on my front. I did like that he could face out though and see the world. I ended up selling it and purchasing a carrier that would allow the back-carrier. Good for small babies, I'd be amazed if anyone could carry one at the manufacturer's max weight (25lbs). If you're gifted one, go with it. If you're buying your own, look at other brands. -
