Play Date Cards

Minted.Com has come up with the most darling idea for Mommy Calling Cards. Perfect for setting up those back to school play dates with your child’s new friends. I could only imagine juggling a child, backpack and purse all while trying to fish out your iPhone to add a new contact. What a breeze handing over one of these adorable calling cards would be. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

Birthday Invite Inspiration

Although this idea is for a wedding save the date, I think it would fare much better as a birthday invite. I mean ballons go much better with birthdays than weddings! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

THE WIFE Turns 3!

October 2nd, 2008 was my very first blog post and when I christened the idea to start a website to inspire and empower women and wives… and what a few of years it has been! I want to thank all THE WIFE’s readers and fans, without you the success of this blog would not be possible. So for those of you dreaming to be a WIFE one day, for those newly engaged and ready to walk down the aisle, for those WIVES who make your home a happy place to be… Thank You! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE.

Mom Must Have: MomaRoo

We’ve never seen a parent vibrate like a bouncy seat or swing like a swing. But we’ve seen thousands of parents scoop their little ones up in their arms and bounce and sway. And that’s what the mamaRoo does it imitates the way a parent moves with their child. Which is why this is the perfect baby gift for any new parent. Not only does the MamaRoo have 5 great settings, but the most useful setting duplicates a car ride… which we all know soothes babies to sleep in no time and makes this product priceless! – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

Hundreds of people helped develop the mamaRoo. While medical experts pushed for speeds that would really stimulate a baby’s inner ear, some moms preferred slower movements. So we made the speed adjustable. Slow down for rest or speed up to play.

We love monkeys at the zoo, but not in our living rooms. Our plush toy balls are black and white on one side for infants.The other side is for when babies can see color (around 4 months). Perfectly sized for little hands, they easily pop in and out of the mobile so babies can chew…err…study them

The mamaRoo’s seat reclines to any position along its axis. The machine washable fabric removes easily. It’s as easy to clean as it is to use. Babies love white noise machines, so we built one in. Choose from one of five nature sounds, or for something a little more rockin’, connect any MP3 player. $199.99

Mom Must Have: The Origami

Power-Folding:

It’s the world’s first power-folding stroller: at the touch of a button, it folds itself. To open or close the stroller, just push that button and relax while the rest takes care of itself. So you won’t do it by accident, folding the Origami takes two (easy) steps: turn the activation ring, then push the button. There’s also a hidden lock switch to thwart those curious toddlers.

LCD Screen:

The LCD interface makes the Origami so easy to use our grandmothers can do it (no offense, Grandma). Plus, the Origami knows things. All you have to do is look at the display to confirm it knows a child is in the seat, or how charged the battery is, or how far you’ve walked. Easy, convenient, and very cool.
