get comfy and fit
If your little one is a poser (a yogi that is!), then they need clothes with plenty of stretch and lots of comfort. We've found three adorable lines of little yoga apparel, and can't wait to dish!


For the world's smallest and cutest little black yoga pant, look no further than Lotus Children. Their Little Om Pant is so stretchy, soft, and fantastically adorable that you'll be cooing omigosh! Visit LotusChildren.com, and be sure to pick up a calming graphic tee (or two, we love Tree and Lion) while you're there.




If you love 'karma couture' then Sugar Downward Facing Baby tee is just the thing. These adorable tees are available in blue, pink or black, at SugarTush.com.


Let your little Buddha belly baby find happiness in the comfort and cuteness of OmGirl's Hotei Baby Tee. Of course at TTW, we find happiness through shopping, and think you might also love OmGirl's Long Sleeve Thermals and Little Yogi Pants. Most OmGirl pieces area available in sizes 6 months-5T, and over 30 colors at BarefootYoga.com.



get in shape and loose that baby weight
Pregnancy isn't the time to take a holiday from fitness, unless of course it’s Sara Holiday's Prenatal Yoga for Moms. The only Prenatal Yoga program tailored to each trimester, Prenatal Yoga for Moms helps ease discomfort caused by pregnancy, reduces labor pain, improves your muscle tone and strength and leaves you feeling calm, centered and connected to your baby. Reduced labor pain at FitBySara.com!


Be sure to also check out her Stroller Workout for Moms DVD that will help you loose the weight FAST! Sara combines intervals of cardiovascular and toning exercises for a full body workout. The workout is easy to follow and always fresh. It consists of intervals of cardio (walking or jogging), kickboxing drills, lunges, squats, pushups and tricep dips. Included is an Audio CD, so you can take your workout on the road!


active kids

Wet your child's appetite for fitness with a little water fun: Kayaking isn't just for grown-ups anymore!
The Acadia Scout Kayak by Perception is specially designed for kids 8-12: it features a low deck height so little elbows clear the deck while paddling and a small cockpit where smallest of kayakers can sit comfortably and maneuver easily. And, as your little paddler improves, a rudder can be easily added. Available in red or yellow, the Acadia Scout is sure to turn your little kayaker's friends green with envy!


If your little kayaker isn't ready to be on their own, then Bean's Dirigo Tandem Plus Kayak by Old Town is just the thing. This tandem kayak has the capacity to carry two adults and a child, without loss of stability or maneuverability. The child seat in the rear cockpit can be removed for more cargo space and the rear seat can be moved forward for solo paddling.


If your kids like to stay hot on your trail, lead them in some fitness fun with the Schwinn Runabout Trailer. An ingenious coupler makes attaching the Runabout fast and easy, and leaves you (thankfully!) in control of steering, speed and braking. The runabout's adjustable seat and handlebars allow the bike to grow with your child. Don't expect a runaround when it comes to safety, the Schwinn runabout comes with a safety flag, frame safety pad and reflectors. Take a little ride on over to TinyRide.com to find the Schwinn Runabout Trailer.


take a stroll
For moms with a stroller, a stroll in the park is such an oxymoron! Prove it with the Strollometer. With 8 functions, a wireless design, and super easy strap on/off attachment, the Strollometer can go everywhere (and do just about everything!). The Strollometer tells you how fast, how far, how long, how hot and how cold your little stroll has been...we're telling you to stroll (briskly) on over to strollometer.com and pick up this must have!




keep them hydrated


From the makers of Snapple, comes Waddajuice, another drink made from the best stuff on earth...water! Available in brightly colored spill-proof bottles, Waddajuice is a healthy blend of purified water and fruit juice that kids will love to drink. And, because it has 50% less sugar and is fortified with Vitamin C and calcium, Waddajuice is just what the pediatrician ordered.



When developing a new kid's drink, it’s all about thinking inside the box...the juice box that is! Stacey Griffin (a mom of course!) figured out that juice box was the perfect way to get kids to drink water, and Aqua2Go was born. Aqua2Go boxes contain 100% purified water, have a shelf life of 5 years, and can be found online and in hundreds of groceries stores nationwide. If you've ever cried over spilled juice or gagged over spoiled milk, then let your kids drink water (and have fun doing it).
If your little one isn’t a big fan of water yet, give them a special fruit flavored treat! At Waterloos you’ll find all natural berry, apple and grape flavored water fit perfectly in a box for on the go hydration!
