You know how hard it is to find a present for that person who has everything? I love this unique gift idea for the impossible to please guy or girl!

Introducing The Map Necklace from Three Jane…

Globetrotting Mommy – The Map Necklace

You choose the address (from anywhere in the world!) and Jewelry Designer Katie Schloss custom designs a necklace, bracelet or cuff links! Your personal location is highlighted with a crystal stone and the surrounding streets are engraved onto the 14K gold plate.

You’ll have a lot of fun deciding on your map…think childhood home, spot you met your spouse, where you got engaged or married, best family vacation, favorite landmark or hotel, summer camp, college, or hospital where you gave birth, etc. For more personalization, you can engrave the back.

Do you spend so much time getting your kids dressed in the morning only to realize you have a whole four minutes left to get yourself out the door. Pretty much every single day, right?

I’ve got some good news for busy on-the-go moms! We can now say goodbye to boring mommy ponytails and hello to chic and easy top knots…

I attended NYC’s Fashion Forward Conference last week (yes, I was at Fashion Week!) and this little goody was in my goody bag…I hereby introduce you to The WRAP UP™, the newest addition to my favorite hair accessories list…

Globetrotting Mommy – The WRAP UP

You put your ponytail through the center slot, pull it up towards the end and simply roll it down and fluff the hair around the base. Sounds complicated but I swear the whole thing takes about 20 seconds! Voila. Here I am testing my mad hair skills at the Sarah Potempa booth last week.

Globetrotting Mommy – The WRAP UP

So much more sophisticated than that boring ponytail, right? Works at home or away…playground, supermarket, date night, stroll around Paris, early morning safari. You get the picture.

The WRAP UP™ is perfect for all ladies with shoulder length or longer hair (with long or no layers) and makes a great gift for a new mom. Available in yellow, brown or black, you’ll definitely want to stock up on these for your next trip.

Back-to-School Shopping: …

September 11, 2013 By admin

Does your little girl insist on wearing a dress every day? Does the dress need to be twirly? Can it only be pink, red or cotton candy blue? Yes, yes, and yes. Welcome to my world!!!

It’s back-to-school shopping time so I thought I’d round up some globally inspired girly girl dresses that will please moms and daughters alike!

Globetrotting Mommy – Back to School Shopping – Masala Baby India Rose

These gorgeous dresses from Masala Baby’s India Rose collection feature comfortable styles and beautiful Indian prints. They are just right with tights for fall, with leggings for winter and with sandals for spring and summer. And when they outgrow them as a dress, they will be just as perfect as a tunic top. A great choice for your budding fashionista.

And, if her little sister wants to match, check out the Kolam Coral or Diamond Net Pink sets from the Mini Masala Twosies collection. Matchy matchy is so very cute on the under 10-set.

Best diaper bags for …

August 21, 2013 By admin

Traveling with a little one anytime soon? Below are my picks for the best diaper bags for traveling – think lightweight and functional. These diaper bags will fit all your supplies without screaming “I’m a tourist.” And yes, they all include the mandatory changing pad.

For the Mommy who makes it look easy:

I’ve never met a LeSport Sac bag I didn’t like and LeSport Sac’s Ryan diaper bag does not disappoint. Available in an array of solids and fun prints (love the bronze lightning, black patent and pinkie dot) this roomy classic is very durable, very lightweight and very easy to clean.

For urbanites like Eloise’s Mommy:

City moms like to look sleek and stylish day and night making this Carry Love Tote from TWELVElittle diaper bag a great option. Available in plum, teal and black, the chic and roomy bag features pockets galore and unlike many totes, it has a large top zipper closure for added security.

For the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Multiples Mommy:

When you’re running after a brood, you need your hands free. This quilted TWELVElittle Companion Backpack diaper bag comes to the rescue in teal, plum or black water resistant nylon. The lightweight backpack is roomy inside and out with multiple compartments, side pockets and a secret bottom pocket.

For the Fancy Nancy Mommy:

The sleek Kate Spade Stevie Diaper Bag is as chic as gets in the land of diaper bags. Made of durable nylon that wipes clean, this baby features several compartments and a change purse.
