We have been crushing on their products for a long time starting with the Sheep Sleep, which helps babies sleep with four soothing sounds (such as a mother’s heartbeat), and attaches to the outside of baby’s crib.

Now that some of our little ones are a bit older, we are currently crushing on their adorable Twilight Turtle. This nightlight shoots beams of lights from his shell up onto your child’s ceiling creating a magical starry night sky.

For kids that may be afraid of the dark, this is a perfect way to comfort them. It includes eight different constellations such as The Big Dipper – what a cool way for them to start learning about stars! (This nightlight also comes as a Ladybug or Sea Turtle.)

First of all, be gentle on yourself… it took a while to put on, and it will take a while to come off.

But now you can shape up while strolling with your baby around the neighborhood with some sneakers that give your exercise an extra boost!

Skechers Shape Ups are here to help – and holy cow – are we crushing on these shoes!

They’re comfortable, easy to walk in, and they look nice, too.

But best of all they offer all kinds of benefits for the body, including…

• Reduces cellulite. (Yes, please!)
• Firms buttocks.
• Tones and firms thigh muscles.
• Improves posture. (Great for new moms who tend to hunch over from holding and feeding baby.)
• Strengthens and firms back muscles.
• Improves blood circulation.

Basically, it does all the things that every new mom wants after carrying around all that extra weight for nine months.

Seriously, run to your nearest store and get a pair of these shoes (or at least check them out online)… and then start walking!
