Mommy FTW

Last week the owner of Monk’s Trunk, a new kids consignment shop in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, emailed me to let me know about her store, and to tell me that they do pick ups of clothes!  For busy moms, I know this is key!


Of course we have Still Hip in our neck of the woods – but if you can’t make it over there to drop things off, or just want another option (for getting rid of used things, or for shopping) then check out Monk’s Trunk located at 23 Hawthorne Street.  Here’s a little more info on Monk’s Trunk:

*Sizes 0 to 6 for boys and girls from Gap, Tea, Janie & Jack, Jacadi, Petit Bateau, etc. in excellent used (or even new) condition, averaging 75% off retail.
*Selected baby gear and toys as well
* Bring in your kids’ clothes today for consignment and earn 40% off of sales price in cash. We are especially interested in sizes 3 to 6.

There was a discussion on Parents Around the Hill recently about kids’ music and it made me want to post about Cameron’s favorite CD’s.  Most of these were given to me by another mom whose child loved them – and with Cameron they were also an instant hit.  I also like them because they are classic kids songs which I already know the words to.  Here’s what’s on Cameron’s play list:

Playtime Favorites

Playtime Favorites has classics like BINGO, 1 2 buckle my shoe, itsy bitsy spider, hokey pokey, wheels on the bus, and London Bridge, a lot of which are sung by kids (he seems to like hearing the kids voices.)

Silly Favorites

Silly Favorites is similar to the other one, and has more classics – the ants go marching, apples and bananas, do your ears hang low….

Singable Songs for the Very Young

We also have Singable Songs for the Very Young (by raffi) which has Down by the bay, brush your teeth, baa baa black sheep….

Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams

And before naps and bed time Cameron listens to Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams which has all the classic lullabies.

The amazon links have little samples of all the CDs you can listen to.
