Milk Saver by Milkies

Milkies is an environmentally conscious company that provides an alternative to disposable products. The Milk-Saver allows you to collect leaky breast milk for later use, rather than having it absorbed into a disposable pad and thrown away.  It’s easy to use; simply slip into your bra-cup on the non-nursing side before you breastfeed.  The Milk-Saver collects the breast milk that is leaked out when your milk lets down.  You can store this milk and save it for any time you need it. No more wasted breast milk!  Visit their site to watch the informational video.  This would makes a great baby shower gift too!

The Smallest Knit | Coraline

I can’t believe the small scale that Althea Crome knits on for Coraline!  It’s said that no one else knits as small as she does with the amount of detail and crativity, and I believe it!  I was blown away when I saw this trailer(click on “Enter Site” at the top)!  If you have time, watch the rest of the video clips to see more behind the scenes of the first stop-motion movie filmed in 3-D. The Coraline website is super fun too!  You can explore her world and get lost inside for hours!
