Tivoli Couture Stroller Liners vit Totsy

I'm in the market for a stroller liner! This winter we used the bundleme in our Bugaboo to help keep Baby J warm and it was so nice to be able to just throw it in the wash and have a clean stroller again. Since introducing the snack cup and sippy cup as regular parts of our walks, my beautiful brown Bugaboo just doesn't look the same with milk stains and smashed up cheerios and goldfish. While you can take the fabric off and wash it in the washing machine, it is kind of pain to take it a part. I was excited to see that Tivoli Couture Stroller Liners were being offered today on Totsy. Now which one to choose? Do you use a stroller liner? The Today show featured fun stroller accesories today. I couldn't live without my stroller hooks and cup holder and
sippy cup holder. What's your favorite stroller accessory?


Are you a member of Totsy? If not, send me an email at magnoliasmarriageandmanhattan@gmail.com and I'll hook you up!

Don't forget to sign up for my Sunshine Paperie sippy cup label giveaway! Time is running out!

I'm deciding between this one and the one below.

I'm leaning towards this one, we have an all brown Bugaboo Cameleon.

For the past couple of months, we have been doing all table food for Baby J. He will be 15 months on Sunday!
He currently enjoys:

toast
eggs
mini pancakes
mini waffles
mini bagels
cut up strawberries
cut up grapes
cut up blueberries
cut up bananas
mandarin oranges (one of his fav, I try to buy the kind where they are in water)
hummus (he liked this for 2 months and now won't touch it)
crackers
goldfish
animal crackers
gerber yogurt melts
gerber puffs
earth's best puffs
cheerios
graham crackers
bits of turkey, ham, cheese
bits of grilled chicken or chicken nuggets
fish sticks
cut up pbj
cut up grilled cheese
cut up quesadillas
peas
sweet potatoes
potatoes
french fries
turkey or regular hamburgers
veggie burgers
broccoli pancakes
spinach cakes
green beans
peas
edamame (used to like these for a few months)
milk
water
diluted apple juice


He does not like:

watermelon (or any other melons)
certain foods that he loved for 2 months???

Do you have any toddler friendly recipes? Any other ideas of foods I should try to give him? Veggies are SO HARD! I would love your ideas!

There is one very innovative lady, Jodi Greebel, recently started a company called Din Dins and she has some great ideas of nutritional foods that you can feed your little one. You can join them on facebook here. 

Baby J had the opportunity to test out the goods recently. Here he is enjoying a cranberry zucchini muffin and some milk. I tried the muffins and let me tell you, I feel like I should order a few in the future for me too! J loved them so much that he knew where I put them in the fridge and everytime I opened the door he went to grab for one!



Here is what came straight to our apartment:


Cute little packages that go right into your refrigerator with cooking instructions and ingredients listed on the sides.

This is the artichoke, corn and chicken quesadilla.  J LOVED these!


Another pic of the yummy muffins!




Unfortunatly, my son is not a big pasta fan. I've tried several times, but I just can't seem to get him to eat it!

He did enjoy a couple bites though.





We enjoyed trying out Din Dins. My husband works very long hours and is not often home before J goes to bed so J eats separate meals from us and I always have to figure out what I'm going to feed him. It was SO NICE to have a few days worth of healthy and yummy food in my fridge so I didn't have to worry about it. What a wonderful service! We will defintely be trying it again in the future.

For those of you that live in NYC, DinDins currently only delivers to Manhattan zip codes, but maybe they'll expand to your area soon! Ordering info can be found here.

Mommy Mitten




You better believe this is on my wish list! What a brilliant idea. The Mommy Mitten is a hand warmer that attaches to the handle bar of your stroller. It is water resistant and fleece lined. My only complaint, it doesn't come in chocolate brown to match my bugaboo! =)

Since I'm out and about in the elements at all times strolling Baby J, I'm looking everywhere for the best gear to help us get through the upcoming winter in the city. This is a great idea for us Moms that need to cover our hands in between handing out puffs, sippy cups and putting hats back on.

Buy it here for $29.99.

What do you think? Would you use it? Do you have any other suggestions for surviving the cold weather with a baby?

Snuggie Love


Just out of curiousity how many of you own a Snuggie? A bought me one right after Baby J was born and I LOVE it! (And yes, I'm wearing pearls with my snuggie in the picture above--I also have it on backwards for nursing purposes--ha, ha!) They just had a pub crawl in NYC a few months ago where everyone wore their snuggies. I so jealous I missed out. Here is a fabulous article in the New York Times about all the Snuggie Love.
