The Germinator Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer by BabyGanics

Swine flu, seasonal flu, colds, dirt, grime—for some, it may mean wanting to lock the doors and hibernate till spring thaw. But, as any parent knows, it’s not so easy to halt your activities. You need a good system to help you stay safe as you live your busy life. While we know that part of any good hygiene routine includes hand-washing with a lathering soap, soap and water aren’t always readily available, and even if they were, little squirmers aren’t known for their cooperation. For on-the-go cleansing, I’ve found The Germinator by BabyGanics. Sure, there are tons of hand sanitizers on the market, but this one is so safe, you can use it on your baby and not worry about those hands quickly retreating into their little mouths. For my preggie friends out there, BabyGanics has a host of great products, including The Germinator, that are natural, organic, VOC-free, and nontoxic. Green for the planet, safe for you—thank you, BabyGanics! Check out their website (www.babyganics.com) to see where you can scoop up these parent-friendly products.

Penny Loves Kenny Ballet Flats

Penny Loves Kenny Ballet Flats

A great staple for any preggie’s wardrobe is a great pair of comfy ballet flats. In my personal experience, though, style doesn’t always mix with flat-wear. After searching high and low, I’m thrilled to tell you about Penny Loves Kenny ballet flats. Besides their affordability, they let you feel a little like the girl you once were with their funky styles and girlish charm. Wear them at home with jeans or dress ’em up for work. These little puppies are sold through a wide variety of vendors, including Amazon, Nordstrom and DSW. I would normally say “run!” to go get these, but in this case, walk carefully, my belly-bound friends.
