All of our members loved the products! Here's what ten of them had to say. We are going to feature ten new moms each day this week.
If you are interested in great baby products we highly recommend Bumkins and so do 50 Mom Bloggers Club members.

- This bib is definitely water proof and I love the back. The velcro that holds the bib in place is slightly adjustable so that I can tighten it for Peanut or loosen it for Bubbie! How great is that! -- Hyperactive Lu
- The suit's material is a premium cotton interlock, which isn't too light or too heavy, so this could easily be a daytime or nighttime outfit. I can't wait to show off his suit to family on Christmas Day! -- Mom Spark
- For quality, the sheer adorable factor, the ease of use, the great design, the bright holiday color and for winning over my son's hard-won approval, this one gets a BIG thumbs-up in
my book! The back pockets were especially a big hit with my son, who like all men, is forever stuffing things in his pockets. -- A Bookworm's (Moms) Blog - The coverall has convenient snaps and is made from super comfy cotton! I am also a sucker for "the little details". -- Go Grahm Go
- The material is very soft and the outfit was true to size. It features the very popular "Thing One and Thing Two" and adorable red and white striped pockets. -- The Not-So-Blog
- Love the pockets. Super soft and it has easy buttons for those quick bum changes. -- Mommy from the Midewest
- I received the most adorable Dr. Seuss Coverall Seuss Suit to review from Bumkins Finer Baby Products. -- Moomettesgram's Musings
- This suit really seems to embody what it is like to be a child. It's bright, fun, cute, and full of pizazz! And of course, it is so well made (I wouldn't expect any less from Bumkins!). The fabric is nice and thick, the stitching is beautiful, it was made to last. They made this one with babies like Calvin in mind! -- The Giveaway
- We also received the Dr. Seuss Waterproof SuperBib which I couldn't wait to use. I got so beside myself, I forgot to take a picture of Jayden in it! Ooops! -- Mommy Daddy Blog
The bib is WAY better than those plastics bibs. It's vinyl, phthalate, and PVC FREE. It's also made in good ole' US of A, with American fabric if you're wondering. -- You're the Boss, Brandice

Ana Tsarev Gallery Exhibit in SOHO
Sunday, November 30, 2008
Giving your children a deep sense of art or going gallery-hopping with your best girlfriends are two of the greatest things you can do in life. It's the little things that render life meaningful. Art, in some form, is most always at the root of beauty and happiness.
At the New Gallery on West 57th Street in New York City, Ana Tsarev's first ever art exhibit, Journey of Discovery, will be held until February 20, 2009.
Zarev's vibrant paintings are concerned with both historic and present day rituals, traditions, and daily life. Journey of Discovery features works depicting the beauty of daily life in a wide range of scenes from the flower markets and rice fields of Southeast Asia to traditional dances of West African tribes; from Japanese kabuki and tea ceremonies to life along China's riverfront.

5 Tips for Shopping Safely Online
Tomorrow is Cyber Monday! Savings and sales will abound at e-stores all over the Net. When you're shopping online make sure to exert caution as you're making your online purchases. Here are some helpful tips from our friends at McAfee.1. Do your homework
- Take time to research the Web site -- are they legitimate, do they have a customer service number or email, correspond/contact them before making a purcha
se. - Read the Web site's Privacy Policy to learn their policy on sharing your information with others.
- A good e-tailer will permit you to return items and get a full and immediate refund without having to jump through a lot of hoops.
- You are protected by the law and liable only for $50 if your credit-card number is stolen and used.
- With credit cards, you can dispute fraudulent charges and by law your liability is limited. But with debit cards, the money comes directly out of your account and getting the cash back can be difficult.
- Encryption is key to secure Internet purchases. Secure sites have a key or closed locked displayed in the Web browser.
- Another way to know if a site is secure is by checking the URL address. It should begin with https://, not just http://.
- Also, check look out for Web sites which are certified for security. Though no company can guarantee 100% safety, McAfee SECURE Trust Mark will give consumers the best chance of never having their personal data stolen when shopping online. We are daily scanning and testing for more than 10,000 vulnerabilities and have done 20 million scans to date.
4. Make sure your PC has comprehensive security software
- Consumers should make sure they have up-to-date, comprehensive security software like before they do any online shopping. This will greatly reduce the risk of contracting a virus or some other form of malware and help them avoid identity theft at dangerous Web sites. Two examples are McAfee Internet Security Suite or McAfee Total Protection.
- Ensure that that the charge on your credit card matches what you agreed to pay. And while you're at it, check your package as soon as it arrives to make sure you received everything you are being charged for.
Finally, remember to make McAfee's free online search tool, SiteAdvisor.com your first stop when searching for gifts this season. SiteAdvisor's easy-to-use green, yellow and red ratings will ensure your online shopping experience is safe and secure.
