Chalk Mats, Crayon Rolls and More!

So I'm a tad obsessed with shopping for Jackson. Clothes (yes, even though he's a boy) and cool gear for moms and kids make my heart flutter. Pictured above are a few unique items that I purchased from another mom via her etsy site, Katherine's Kloset.

In the upper left is a mini chalk mat, a useful product for keeping energetic youngsters entertained while out to eat. The chalk fits nicely in a special compartment, and the mat rolls up for convenient storage in a diaper bag or purse. As a bonus, it doubles as a placemat.

For fellow neat freaks compulsive about keeping crayons neatly stored, there is the crayon roll. I chose the Dick and Jane fabric, but there are many others available to suit any taste.

The last - and my favorite - item is a diaper and wipes case, which allows me to be prepared for diaper emergencies without having to tote a full diaper bag. It's perfect for my minimalist tendencies.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that although I'm more than happy to provide my talented seamstresss buddy free promotion, I'm also writing this post in an attempt to win a prize. I love free stuff! Check out The Shopping Mama blog for more freebies and ideas.
