Keeping with our tradition, all the Circle of Moms Groups dress up babies and come to The Tulip Grove for pictures and a great parade. This year FREE photographer Jonathan Payne will be teaming up with The Tulip Grove to capture those perfect snapshots of parents and babies throughout the day! You will be able to view and order the pictures online or send to family at discounted prices. A great event for the whole family!

Plan Toys is all about children. They offer educational toys for every developmental stage of childhood that are made from natural materials non-chemically treated rubber wood . ”We create toys that inspire children’s imagination as well as promote their physical and intellectual development. We’re also proving that it is possible to maintain superior quality standards while steadfastly following a path of environmental and social responsibility.” Wow! Not only is Plan Toys an environmentally and socially responsible company, they strive to produce toys that inspire creativity and imagination in our children, something that more toy companies need to do!

What we like most about Plan Toys is that they are built for years of use. Oliver has a whole set of the little wooden trucks and plays with them on a daily basis. Plan Toys states that these toys will enhance fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Children will develop observational and problem-solving skills, which are the basis of science, through observing the toy’s mechanism.

The little pull toys are second to none! The Dancing Alligator or the Pull-Along Zebra will be an instant favorite! While being pulled, the wooden pieces make rhythmic click-clacking sounds as the dance along. Parents are always searching for good toys for their children – we say look no further!

The diaper bag… The nursery is almost done, the clothes are washed, the diapers are stacked. Now… how to pick the diaper bag, which can be quite daunting task. How big should it be? A messenger or a tote? Will it carry everything? What about my husband, will he carry it, too? Some of these questions may be at the forefront of your mind as you are searching for that perfect bag. Fortunately for you, we have many for you to choose from – whether your style is a durable grab and go or a little edgier.

Skip Hop

Skip Hop has mass appeal. Attractive, solid colors, durable fabric, well-designed bags, what’s not to like? Moms like it because the bag will hold up under the wear and tear of infant stains and the constant strapping to the stroller. Dad will want one because it’s not too girly, and could almost pass off as a laptop bag (we know better).  Excellent, well-placed compartments outside and in, it comes with a changing pad and wipes holder. 

Fleurville

Fleurville bags are definitely a hit. The unusual, bright, eco-friendly patterns are part of their signature design. The company was founded by two parents who noticed that a lot of diaper bags simply did not work well for many parents, and they have found a following with their thoughtful yet functional designs. Their products are not only environmentally friendly, but so is their business, recently rated as a certified “San Francisco Bay Area Green Business.” If supporting a local eco-friendly business with excellent, sustainable products is something that is strikes a chord with you, then so will these bags.

Petunia Pickle Bottom

If you are not familiar with Petunia Pickle Bottom, you will be soon. These distinctive, elegant, incredibly well-designed bags can be carried over your shoulder or on your back. One of the outstanding qualities of the Petunia is the front zipper section that turns into a changing pad with your diapers and wipes right at your fingertips. If your goal in this new mommy-life is to become a pulled together chic mom, then you will want this bag.

OiOi

OiOi bags are fabulous, in our humble opinion. You will recognize them for their structured, messenger bag style that still has an air of sophistication. Outside pockets are perfect for bottles, and the inside is big enough for everything else. Interior pockets will help you to keep life organized. This bag is durable and will keep up with the comings and goings of your life with ease.
