It’s been a while since I’ve done a WEARS THE BABY WEDNESDAY. (My neck/back has been acting up, causing numbness in my hands. The computer aggravates it. Thus I haven’t been spending nearly as much time online.)

We’ve been getting some great feedback from our testers of the Twilli Pie Podegi!! So I decided to post some action shots for you guys to see! And THANK YOU to everyone who has sent me action shots of you & your baby with your pod!

Please LEAVE A COMMENT and let us know what you think about the Twilli Pie Podegi!

Baby Loves Disco is a new trend that I’ve heard a lot about lately. Basically it’s a chance for families to come hang out in a nightclub, with child-friendly environment, with cool music, snacks and even a chill-out room. (I’m flashing back to my days as a rave dj. I’m sure it won’t be quite THAT crazy… but hey, I haven’t been “out” in a LONG time!)

I’m glad that the Baby Loves Disco wave is sweeping over Fort Lauderdale! I’m surprised we don’t have to drive to Miami to catch something like this. (I know Twilli would LOVE some good Salsa dancing. But I’m not able to move that way! hehehe)

Also, a super cool chic from one of our local Meetup playgroups, is one of the sponsors. (Maybe we’ll bring home some cool SWAG!) Nicole is the head chef and chief bpa-free bottle washer for Rockin Mamaz - for Moms who ROCK the Cradle with the Flyest Gear and Coolest Clothes. Bringing you Hip and Funky Maternity and Infants to Big Kids Apparel. Unique toys, BPA- Free Glass Bottles, Sippy Cups and so much more. I immediately resonated with Nicole when we first met. I can’t wait to see what she’s put together for her shop!

Twilli LOVES music! And she loves to dance! Right now, it looks more like HEAD-BANGIN’ than anything else. Actually, that’s part of the humor! Twilli looks too sweet to be a head-banger! But she loves when Au-teen plays metal on guitar, too! I guess she inherited some of her daddy’s taste in music. Oh, and she looks great in black! lol

Hopefully, Elliott will shoot LOTS of photos of everyone shakin’ it to the Village People! lol And maybe we’ll post a video or two of head-bangin’ Twilli!

“Moms Rock” Diaper Bag - at Hip Mama Couture

First up on FRIDAY FUN FINDS we have a hip leather and canvas diaper bag with leather applique that says, “Moms Rock”.

This super cute find is designed exclusively for Hip Mama Couture by purse designer Sadiet Uganza. I didn’t see the bag in person when I visited the store lately, but I’ll have to check it out next time I head down there. Hip Mama Couture is a GREAT little shop! It is primarily a maternity boutique, but has something for every mama, pregnant or not.

Textile Balls Necklace

This funky necklace, by London based designer Veronica Martens, is made of silk threads formed into beads. Each of the pieces in the collection are more works of art than jewelry. And it is all eco-friendly because the designer uses recycled materials such as leather, wool, cotton, glass, paper, stones, buttons and seeds.

If you’re looking for a great, unique gift, look no further than Etsy.com. (Yes, I know it sounds like a paid endorsement. Believe me. It’s not. lol)

That’s all for this week. Please leave a comment about some cool Friday Fun Finds that you have discovered (or created). Maybe we’ll feature it next week!

I recently gave birth to a new blog called “Design Sexiness“. This is the blog where I get to wax poetic about any form of what I refer to as design sexiness. It is several steps above clean, functional design. It has to be really special to warrant the “sexiness” label.

It will be about architecture, interior/decor, industrial design, furniture, art, graphic design, web design, user interface design, etc.

In my research, I have come across many things that could fit in this site as well. I thought it would be cool to do a regular feature, of applicable objects, here at 21stCenturyParenting.com. Sunday seems like a good day for this feature. Please leave a comment to let us know how often you would like to see these features!

So today, I give you the Candela Tooli lights - at Genius Jones Miami. Genius Jones is an AMAZING store for kids and babies. they carry beautiful, modern design. I visited the store when they were on Lincoln Road, in South Beach. The store owner was very friendly and down to earth. Now they have a location in the Miami Design District too! I need to make contact with them again, now that I have a Twilli.

Now I have to admit that I do not own this product. (I would be happy to do a more comprehensive review/shameless plug, if someone wants to send 1 or 2 of these guys my way!) So I can only guess how cool it would be to have these cordless, thus portable, lights for midnight diaper or potty duty! Plus they are rechargeable!

And I find the forms to be very friendly. I guess there will be SOME kid out there that screams in fear when he sees it. But I think Twilli would giggle when she saw it! Seems like this could be a good thing to “keep monsters away”. And it seems a lot safer than the traditional night light, with a glass bulb.

Some further research illuminates the fact that these come in a set of 2 lights - with one base, use LED lightbulbs, and automatically light up when removed from base, or if the power goes out. (That’s perfect! I can justify it as hurricane supplies!) Oh, and they claim to have a battery life of 8 hours.

Do any of you have these? Please leave a comment to tell us what you think. Are they worth it?
