    Finally, a sophisticated mother’s helper cart caddy not meant for baby toys and drool! I am loving it and want one…NOW! It will come in handy when baby’s in the sling and I still want a hand free. Ooh, and “Handmade Soirées” has been on my wish list for some time…I’d love to own this new gem! Thanks again!

    Posted: November 14th, 2009 at 2:03 pm →

    When I saw the cart caddy I thought it could be used to attach small flat toys to the pocket that kids can play with and not drop on the floor. No picking them up and they stay clean!

    Never ending vanilla! I am very excited to investigate that as a holiday gift for baking friends. And I might have to make the coupon holster for myself – I’m always losing coupons through the slats in the grocery basket and usually end up tucking them between the bananas. This would be a much prettier solution!
