1 Soft to the touch velour is wrapped in olive and blue stripes, then paired up with solid color velours and soft knits. Le Top creates these sweet outfits, and we think they are just fabulous. Fill up on the details of this great playwear in the editor's blog.

2 Unbelievably soft!!! Max Daniel Baby is the place to find seriously luxurious blankies and throws to cuddle up with on a brisk autumn day. We are especially fond of the camo print with it's chocolate charmeuse satin ruffle edging. Highly coveted by kids and Moms alike.

3 Fuzzy on the outside, cotton dot print on the inside...this is a bunting any bunny would love! Wraps up your cutie with ease, leaving lots of room for happy feet to wiggle and kick. Everyone will be cozy and happy...guaranteed. Find this cutie at myprincesscloset.com

4 Here's a little ditty about Jesse Walker : knitting since seven, decided to stay home with the kids, started her own biz (knitting of course!), and now she is a success with products located in 400 stores across the USA and internationally. Pick out your yarn choice and, before you know it, you too can have one of these Cupcake Hoodies. Perfect for chilly morning walks!

5 The Pink Katie Cardigan from Room Seven is a wrap around cardigan inspired by the twinkle toes of ballet. Colorful and snazzy, this sweater can brighten up any outfit. Order up @ the Silly Wagon!

6 Looking for a unique addition to a fall wardrobe? Look no further. Lola in Pink or Lola in Green are the legwarmers from Matilda Jane which scream cool. Throw them on with a great skirt and let the pom-poms take care of the style.

7 Absolutely adorable! These high-top booties from Robeez can make any outfit work. Luxurious faux fur and cuddly lining. Totally necessary for keeping those piggy toes bundled in warmth throughout the upcoming seasons.

8 The AllyZabba signature baby blanket has transformed itself into a huge adult sized treasure. Gorgeous chocolate plush fabric on one side and your choice of blue aloha or choco-dot as the reverse side print. Cover up the whole family while watching the tube...ya, it's that big!


Keeping your child well during the cold and flu season
With fall comes runny noses and sore throats… the dreaded common cold.

The cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus. And, like all other viruses, the rhinovirus has no cure. A virus infiltrates a cell and rewrites the DNA to mimic the virus. From there it continues to replicate these viral cells.

The way to fight a virus is to fight the symptoms. There are over 200 types of rhinovirus causing the common cold. The cold virus you get today may not be the same one you contract next year.

Cold viruses attack the respiratory system. We cough, sneeze, our noses run, our eyes run, we get a sore throat, and we generally feel really, really bad. People can function with a cold but often it takes all the strength we can muster.

When our immune system is compromised we are more susceptible to the viruses invading our bodies. The “compromise” can come when we are rundown and tired.
Our bodies are ill prepared to fight the potential infection.

Protect the one you love and yourself by taking care of colds and flu at the first sign of symptoms.

There are ways to help avoid colds and flu. Eating certain foods can fight infections and other nasty things that attack the body.

What we eat is important. It is our food that provides the nutrients to sustain our body’s metabolism, cellular function, and defenses. A lack of those nutrients and the body starts to feel ill inside.

Calcium, protein, fruits, vegetables are all required to make the body function properly. If you are not getting plenty of these in your diet your body will find way to get them by robbing from your muscles, bones and other body parts.

Watch what you and your children eat. It not only tastes good on the outside but does a body good on the inside.
