No, please, not another catalog!

A few months ago I had received one too many catalogs and started to do something about it. Unfortunately, all I knew to do was to contact the individual companies and ask them to take me off of their mailing list.

And it actually worked..or so I thought. Now that the holiday shopping season is in full swing, my mailbox is suddenly working overtime. How many Pottery Barn catalogs do I need?? And I thought I had removed my name from their mailing list!?!?

So today..as I was reading one of my favorite blogs..coolmompicks..sure enough, Liz was fed up as well! She is more resourceful than me and found this cool website to do the work for you! Catalog Choice, a brilliant idea!

Catalog Choice is a free service that lets you decline paper catalogs you no longer wish to receive. Catalog Choice is a sponsored project of the Ecology Center. It is endorsed by the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and funded by the Overbrook Foundation, the Merck Family Fund, and the Kendeda Fund.

I'm going to get started and so should you..lets do something nice for the environment this holiday season!

Rileyroos are a must have!



We just received a shipment of our latest addition to Queen Baby Bean....Rileyroos! These are THE most adorable shoes for your little one. I plan to try a pair out on my son...too bad they don't make big girl sizes because my 4 year old is showing some jealousy! Rileyroos have a very European-look but actually came to be in the state I spent most of my life - Maryland!

How did Rileyroos come to be?


Kim and Brian Gross of Cockeysville, frustrated in their search for suitable footwear for their toddler, set out to make shoes that are flexible for children learning to walk. The result is a line of shoes, leather or suede, that include padded rubber soles that curl above the toes to add traction when a child begins crawling. The shoes, designed for children ages 6 to 24 months, are soft enough to be scrunched into a ball with only a little effort.
