Dodge Boys Mom's Hooded Towels
This awesome hooded towel was designed and sewn by the talented Jeanette of Dodge Boys Mom on Etsy. She created this fabulous crib sheet that I use on Jack's crib all the time. I have washed it and dried it (in the dryer and on the line) weekly since receiving it and it has held up beautifully. The colors are vibrant and the construction is sturdy. The same can be said for these lovely hooded towels.
She has 29 awesome hooded towels up in her Etsy shop right now! Check out these awesome little fishies or these funny pink piggies. Look at all of them. Go on, do it. Then come back here and leave a comment telling us your favorite hooded towel at Dodge Boys Mom. Then guess what?

A Quick Trip Home
She made a pillowcase. I can't wait to see what she will come up with next! (ducking)
He is not too comfortable with grass though- very alien to him.
Good thing we don't have any :)

Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers Review and Giveaway
Adorable! That is what I thought when I saw these AIO cloth diapers. It's all about the prints, people. Yes, absorbency counts... and 5 points for being comfortable- but it's really all about the print. Stacey, the seamstress behind Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers knows how to pick 'em. She has some great options for boys which is nice for Jack and the little fella in your life. How about the Rockin' Flaming Skull AIO or I am loving the bugs on this Buggy Print AIO. But, wait! There's more!! Check this site out... www.threemonkeysclothdiapers.com She has over 200 prints to choose from! Seriously? Yes. She custom sews each diaper to ensure fit. Nahhh... Yes. She does custom orders too.
From the Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers Etsy store:
"My diaper has been tried and tested by many, many babes and with feedback from my customers and my own experience on my babes, I present Three Monkeys Cloth Diapers to you. [On most diapers] The inner layer (closest to the baby) is a coordinating flannel. The soaker is five thirsty layers of cotton terry cloth soaker. Next is the polyurethane layer, which makes this diaper an AIO, that is hidden between the inner flannel/soaker and the outer flannel. Finally, the outer layer is the print of your choice!! This diaper comes with snaps which close on the hip or across the belly. And elastic gussets on legs and back to contain any messes.
I can sew anything from costumes to curtains, but my focus is on cloth diapering needs. Thanks so much for taking the time to check me out and please fell free to ask me any questions you may have :)" ~Stacey

Huggalugs Review and Giveaway
I think I had a baby to put him in legwarmers. When the trend started a few years ago, I could only imagine my little crawler rocking a pair of striped leg huggers.
Now Jack actually wears them! Huggalugs, in fact.
Go check out their site, they have so many adorable designs, and they have some fantastic photography.
My little mansey has some serious chubby legs, and I was worried they would pinch at the top. In the very least, I assumed they would leave red marks, indentations where the leg huggers were pulled up. Nope! Not with Huggalugs. They are breathable, they do not pinch and yet they stay up!
Love them!
Another amazing thing is that Jack and Maggie can share them! She can wear them on her arms and heck, even as legwarmers with a skirt. Jack rocks them on his legs, perfect from crawling and then potty training. Now, how many other clothing items can my 11 year old girl share with my 6 month old, I ask ya? So, I want 22 pairs please. Starting with the Jo Bomber's, then we need a pair of the Wild Child and round it out with a pair of the Train Tracks. I have several adorable shirts to pair my Huggalugs with, this "Here Comes Trouble" tee is compliments of bon bébé from their adorable Wild Child line. You must go check them out- so cute.
Huggalugs has been cool enough to offer a giveaway to Mad Madam Em readers! Aren’t you happy you're here? Just head on over to Huggalugs shop and tell me which design is your favorite and leave a comment below. This giveaway will run for two weeks, ending Friday, July 10th 2009.

The Trendy Tadpole Review and Giveaway
Take pictures of your children. Take pictures of your children in funny shirts. Do this so in twenty years they will look at pictures from their youth and think you were hip. You won't be hip anymore, but at least you were for a while. Not only were you cool, you made your kid cool. Nobody is cooler than Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash and Jack Stone, of course.
This absolutely adorable rockin’ shirt came to us from The Trendy Tadpole. I have fallen in LOVE with their designs. The Buddha Belly, Oh Snap, and These aren’t the parents designs are my absolute favorites, but it is hard to choose.
"What in the world is a lap tee and will it give my baby super powers?
Lap tee's are those funny little tee shirts with the flaps around the neck so the baby's giant head can get through without ripping it apart. Trendy Tadpole baby tee shirts are made on American Apparel and are 100% cotton and stretchy. Trendy Tadpole's funny baby clothes will be the hit at the next baby shower."
The Trendy Tadpole has been cool enough to offer a giveaway to Mad Madam Em readers! Aren’t you happy you're here? Just head on over to The Trendy Tadpole and tell me which design is your favorite and leave a comment below. This giveaway will run for two weeks, ending Friday, July 3rd 2009.

Sum-Bo-Shine Review and Giveaway!
I've always been into heavily perfumed lotions and bath gels. Red Door by Elizabeth Arden, Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath and Body Works... mmm. Then something happened. When I became pregnant with Jack and I used my normal products, they turned my stomach. They smelled great in the bottle, but not when they went on my body. Something about hormones or my body chemistry, either way my body just was not having it anymore. I started to seek out natural and organic products that wouldn't leave an alcohol/chemical smell. That is when I found Sum-Bo-Shine.
"We have received a lot of emails and phone calls inquiring about the name Sum-Bo-Shine. When friends and family see the name they smile because they know where the name originated. My children's names are Summer (Sum), Rainbow (Bo) and Sunshine (Shine).” ~ Carolyn Deal
I love that I can be assured it will be gentle on his dainty little hiney.

blow a few raspberries in his froggy robe, then it's off to bed for this little man.

Sum-Bo-Shine has been kind enough to offer a giveaway to Mad Madam Em readers! Aren’t you happy you're here? Just head on over to Sum-Bo-Shine and tell me which skin care product you would like to try and leave a comment below. This giveaway will run for one week, ending Saturday, June 20th 2009. Winner will be notified via email, so be sure I can get to your email or leave it in your comment.

A Toy Garden
felted items, and play sets. Seriously, how much do you love these
Witch and Wizard Dolls from Brazil? I covet those little guys!
I have spent hours on the site pouring through all of the
beautiful handcrafted, natural and character building toys.
The fabulous Sonya Bingaman, the Toy Gardener herself, has generously donated some toys for Jack to review. Yeah, Jack reviews toys... he's cool like that.
This is A Toy Garden's Figure Eight Rainbow Rattle. Here is what A Toy Garden says about this rattle:
The rainbow colored wood beads are strung on a sturdy elastic string
making this twisty and interesting to play with.
Only non-toxic wood stains are used. It's made in Germany. "
He can get his little fingers around it, it's colorful, interesting and sturdy. Apparently, it tastes amazing.
"London Bridges Falling Down" etc., or for creating a magical walkway over the rainbow bridge for a birthday celebration. All are extra-thick 8mm, China Habotai Silk. Hand-dyed in the USA. "
I love products that inspire creative play & toys that are non-toxic, organic, natural, simple and tough. A Toy Garden is blooming with these toys! They have a huge selection and unique products that I have never seen anywhere else.
I would like to thank Sonya and A Toy Garden for the
opportunity to review their marvelous products!

The picture I would use would be of my family, nestled together, in our coordinating outfits,out by a history barn in Hershey,Pa.My three boys are the babies that the doctors told me I would never have (twins and a singleton) so I've been wanting a large print to hang in the living room, to remind me every moment what huge a blessing they are...even on the hard days. It would be fun to win. Thanks for the chance.
