Fun styles for Mommy and Baby from Michael Stars

It's' a well known fact that we love the good stuff -- the fun things that aren't just every where and those things that make a grown man want to hold a curl up with a dreamy, creamy blanket while watching a football game.

One new fabulous thing is the new Michael Stars baby line -- Mikey Stars. Made from super-soft, Supima cotton in the traditional shades that every mom loves, but in my new favorite the dip-dye -- like tie-dye but cooler and less-busy. Available in styles for girls and boys with coordinating styles for the bump-set and beyond.

Pictured above are two of our dip-dye favorites: the tank dress ($36) with the coordinating swaddling blanket ($38) -- fabulous.

Panera Bread's Bun in the Oven Salute at INOVA Fairfax

Seriously yummy, good eats and Wi-Fi teamed with a cool, family friendly atmosphere all come to mind when I think of Panera Bread. I am a fresh bagel and baked good lover and with their fabulous semolina bread -- I am a customer for life, but together, Panera and INOVA Fairfax are celebrating an especially busy month and the births of over 1,000 babies at INOVA Fairfax with a special contest and salute to mommies delivering in June with the Bun In the Oven Contest.

They will be delivering sweet, gift packages full of goodies for mom and baby, right to the beds of mommies at the hospital. And, one special baby will have a bagel named in his or her honor for the month of August.

How fun is that, a sweet treat, a rockin' gift bag and a new baby all from a great local hospital? Sounds like a plan to me.
