Fan Favorite: Bard the Dragon
Baby Einstein loves bringing smiles and giggles to your little one with their fun and entertaining toys and products!

They become part of the fun, and when we asked our Facebook and Twitter fans which character is their favorite, it was none other than Bard the Dragon. He ‘blahhhhs’ all the way into the heart of your babies!
Check out this video of Little Liam enjoying himself silly with Bard.

Guest Blogger Spotlight: One word, “Amazement”
If I had to sum up being a mom in only one word it would be amazement.
I’m sure you are thinking of all the words why pick amazement, but that is simple-children are amazing. As adults we look back at our childhoods and fondly remember birthdays, holidays and special people who played roles in our lives. As we get older and finish school and begin our adult lives we tend to lose sight of what we loved most as kids. Then the day comes when we have a child of our own, in my case a 4 year old daughter. Having her in my life has opened my eyes to so many things that over time I tended to overlook. As our lives get more complicated and busy often the simplest and sometimes special moments do not get the notice they should.
From something as small and simple as watching her play in puddles to mastering the basic milestones such as More >

Guest Blogger: Sisterhood Happiness
When I knew that we were going to be giving our at-that-time 18-month-old daughter a baby sister around the time of her second birthday, I was nervous. As a stay-at-home mama, AppleBlossom was what my world revolved around. How in the world was I going to be everything I needed to be to keep her happy and provide for the new baby? I need not have worried. They are natural sisters and obviously each other’s joy.
The first sign was when we were in the hospital only a few hours after OrangeBlossom’s arrival and she went on an adventure to the nursery for a bath. AppleBlossom was alert and looking around and demanding that she be told where her baby sister was. OrangeBlossom was hers from the beginning and she is in charge, I just happen to be here.
With a toddler, they are curious and into everything, excited to learn about the world More >
