Kokopax Carriers and Diaper Bags




We love our kokopax baby carriers and sun hats. We take our twin boys on walks around our neighborhood every day and they are the height of comfort for us and the boys.
Brooke and Charlie Sheen



kokopax - Created by Sarah Spoor in 2007, kokopax is a fun line of baby carriers, sun hats, and diaper bags.

If you have a little one that likes to be held or be with you at all times, infant carriers can make a huge difference!  Whether your attempting to cook dinner, clean the house, or outside enjoying the weather, an infant carrier is sure to be the answer to getting everything done with your little one!  Kokopax baby carriers are designed to hold a baby between the ages of 6 months to 2 years old, and can support up to 35 pounds.

There are three carrier styles, the eco-classic carrier, the classic carrier, and the city carrier.  All three styles are SUPER lightweight at 3 lbs or less, and include a 5 point harness.

  • The eco-classic carrier ($179.99) is the premium carrier and the newest model.  The eco-classic carrier features the latest technology in green textile printing and consumer safety.  
  • The classic carrier ($149.99) was designed with daily life in mind.  The classic carrier features a lightweight and easy to use carrier, with a safe and comfortable ride for baby.
  • The city carrier ($99.99) is the most affordable model.  The city carrier positions baby at eye level so that he can see and interact with everyone around.


The Samantha diaper tote, also a NEW addition, comes in the patterns featured above and retails for $99.99.  Our favorite is Sprout, shown at the bottom with the teal pink and orange leaves.  The Samantha diaper bag is so versatile that Mom just might want to use it for her own tote!  The outside is made of 100% cotton canvas, and the interior is made of a water resistant nylon lining.

A little about Sarah and her inspiration . . .Sarah, the mother of four young children, and a huge fan of using baby carriers felt that the products on the market were outdated.  This inspired Sarah to create a new fashionable and lightweight framed carrier with added style and functionality.  

Celebrity fans of kokopax include Tim Allen, Chad Lowe, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mira Sorvino, and Tiffani Amber Thiessen.

Kokopax products can be purchased at www.kokopax.com.  Include code osm2010 to get a 10% discount off your order.

Special Edition Keurig Coffee Makers & a GIVEAWAY

If your anything like me, you prepare your coffee the night prior, and set the timer so that you can wake to a fresh pot of coffee ready to drink first thing in the morning.  Although this routine works, I must admit that it can be such a pain to have to do every night.  Hubbie doesn't drink coffee, so I am on my own.  Can't pawn it off on him . . .no way out. . .until I got a KEURIG!

Have a Blast with LEGO Ben 10 Alien Force Action Figures


For the boys out there interested in building activities and action figures, I recommend you check out the LEGO Ben 10 Alien Force. There are a total of 6 collectable Alien Force figures, each sold for $14.99 at www.lego.com. that can all be "morphed" together to create one large alien.  

The figures can be built within 15 minutes with the easy to follow directions.  The Swampfire is very flexible, and does not come apart easily when you move his arms and legs around.  The Swampfire has large feet that allow him to stand up unsupported on one foot.

The Swampfire has glow-in-the-dark eyes and chest Omnitrix.

To all the Stylish Momma's:  Here's a tip to impress your kids with!  The Omnitrix is a device that allows Ben to transform into many of the different alien's.  When Ben transforms, he also gains their super powers.  Ben transforms into an alien so that he can fight the aliens that come to the earth in hopes of taking over.

The Swampfire action figure is recommended for children ages 5 and up due to the small parts.

Getting Fit in Style with the Jeep Overland Jogging Stroller


One of my all-time favorite strollers for STYLISH MOMMA's and DADDY'S is the Jeep Overland Limited Jogging Stroller by Kolcraft (retails for $197 at Amazon).  This stroller totally rocks with the built in Music on the Move tray.  The Music on the Move tray allows you to connect your ipod to built in speakers so both Momma (or Daddy) and baby can enjoy music while getting in shape.  This stroller helps give you more of a full-body workout since it is somewhat heavier than typical umbrella strollers.

We tested the stroller while visiting Washington, D.C. during the Cherry Blossom Festival.  The stroller maneuvered really well, whether we were strolling down the side walks or walking along the National Mall.  This stroller, like most other jogging strollers has a stationary front wheel.  It did require lifting the front wheel up some in order to turn.  The large underneath storage compartment held all of the necessities . . .from the packed lunches, camera, and diaper bag.
