Clean Machine
A one-woman cleaning/organizing dream
Have you ever been attacked by your linen closet? Door opens, sheets, towels, sleeping bags, you name it, tumble out. This has happened to me, many times, and since having children this closet has only gotten more stuffed, more disorganized, and nearly impossible to find time to tame. Enter Nikki Harris, cleaning extraordinaire with over 20 years experience in South Tampa; a woman who not only cleans to my mother-in-laws standards, but who also will organize anything so that it is functional again. She is a self-starter and finisher and you'll love her creative, detail-oriented approach to organizing your home. A true talent in creating nurturing and visually appealing spaces. Added bonus: she is schooled in organic and natural practices, using the least harmful and toxic chemicals whenever possible. Available for household organization, cleaning, house plant maintenance, light yard work, projects and home clean outs. Nikki lives in South Tampa and provides free estimates. Contact her today at (813) 874-3024.
Barn Dandy
We heart Barn Dandy
A website you must check out for your next birthday present of play toy for your child; Barn Dandy’s site, based in Oklahoma, weaves a magical tale of, “cowboys and hula girls and hide-and-seek”. Their patterns are fanciful and vintage inspired. Their toys and accessories are not to be missed. One of our favorites is the Barn Dandy Tepee, a fabric structure sure to inspire quiet moments with favorite books and endless games of peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek. Also check out the suppertime tab, full of old fashioned TV trays and dandy dish sets. Visit www.barndandys.com
Julian and Co. Jewelry
Never Too Little for Style
Pass this trend alert onto hubby, because you are going to want one of their mom pendants for Mother’s Day. Adorned with pint-sized feet and hands, plus a spot to engrave D.O.B., these darling silver pendants are just the tip of her collection. Peruse through her website and you will see this creative mom has found her niche. Baby and kid jewelry is sturdy yet fun and even includes a stylish medic bracelet with message of your choice (i.e. peanut allergy). And why leave dad out of the fashion party---Julian and Co. offers jewelry with masculine appeal including cuff links, key chains and dog-tag style necklaces. www.julianandco.com
Mimic Me
Sign Language for Babies
Selena began signing 13 years ago as a way to communicate with a cute deaf guy. The payoff was huge—she is now married to him and they have two young children and she has created a company based on the sign language she learned. Mimic Me, a unique DVD, teaches over 100 signs to babies and toddlers. Sing-&-Sign songs, stories set to sign, and a multi-camera angle ‘Summary of Signs’ chapter is just a few of the amazing features of this innovative DVD. The production is clear, colorful and musical. And not that you need celebrity endorsement to be impressed with this communication tool, but this DVD was chosen for the Oscar gift basket, given to all the celebrities to who attend the award’s show. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt gives two thumbs up! Scoop them up today at www.mimicbaby.com
