April showers bring May flowers and that couldn’t ring truer here in Oregon! And what fun is all the rain if you can’t deck your children out in adorable, I meanKidorable rain gear! I’ve had both my daughter and son in Kidorable rain gear practically since they were born and will continue to do so until they are too big to wear it anymore! And what fun because there are so many different styles to choose from for both boys and girls that they can always have something different to look cute and stay dry in every year!

This Spring, my nearly four year old daughter has been sporting the Lady Bug Kidorable rain wear collection. This particular collection offers styles perfect for any child year round featuring not just Spring and Summer light rain wear but knit hats, scarves, and gloves for the fall and winter too! And Kidorable doesn’t stop there, they also have matching book ends for your child’s room, as well as towels, hangers sets, and matching back packs for on the go!

To review and spotlight, we were sent the Lady Bug Raincoat, Hanger, Backpack, and matching rain boots. The colors in this particular collection are a very eye catching pattern of black and a very bold red, perfect for any ladybug lover! Children ages 1 through 6 year olds can wear this set in style through out any rainy season! Trust me, oohs and aahs are sure to follow! There’s nowhere we go that my daughter hasn’t been complimented on her Kidorable rainwear ensemble!

The Ladybug Raincoat is made out of PVC which is very easy to wipe clean and lined with polyester. It has two pockets one a giant ladybug and the other a large black spot that feature zipper closures so your little one can keep perhaps a hanky, hair band, or something else safely tucked away from the elements. There are four snap button from top to bottom and an inner loop at the neck of the coat for easy hanging up after use. The coat pattern itself is all red except on the hood, sleeves, and the buttons which feature darling ladybug spots! The coat my daughter received is a size 4t and is giving enough to accommodate my daughter and whatever she is wearing such as a thin top or a bulky sweater until she needs the next size rain coat! Almost forgot to mention that it came with an adorable matching hanger too!

The Ladybug Boots are perfect for a stroll to the park on a over cast day, helping out in a muddy garden, and my daughter’s favorite rainy day activity….puddle jumping! These boots are excellent in resisting water with the natural rubber exterior. There’s a pull tab featured on the top part of the boot making it easy to slip these boots on. These boots are light weight so it won’t weigh down your children’s feet as they are walking or running. Speaking of running, the non-skid soles improve traction on wet surfaces and are great in preventing accidents. You can easily wipe these clean after a day in the mud! This style of boot is available in My First (size 5), children’s sizes 6-13, plus young adult sizes 1 and 2.

The matching Ladybug Backpack is great for kids of all ages. My daughter loves to carry this bag along with her wherever she goes. It features two front zip close pockets and one large compartment. Right now my daughter likes to store her drink cup, a snack, hairbrush, rubber bands, lip balm, and other various random treasures. The bag would make a great take a long for a trip to Grandma’s house, daycare, preschool, or any other outing where your child would be excited about bringing it along. I like the bag has held up well and that the straps are fully adjustable.

Overall there’s nothing we don’t like about the Ladybug Collection from Kidorable. In fact, we are already looking to purchase the matching umbrella soon. If interested, you can purchase Kidorable products at their website ranging from $11.50-$36.00! I highly recommend the  Kidorable  Collections not just because of adorable they are but because how durable they are too!

For a second time this year, I’m thrilled to be sharing the latest news about Cheeky Umbrellas! If anyone missed my first thoughts on these fantastic umbrellas, you can visit that review by clicking the following article which was written early September : http://connected2christ.com/theblog/2009/09/cheeky-umbrella-review

In addition to Cheeky Umbrellas six designs for adult, three incredibly cute designed have just been added for children! I don’t know if I could have been more thrilled for the opportunity to review a child’s umbrella for my daughter Melody.

I knew right away that I would love the children’s umbrella line as I’ve been really happy with my own from Cheeky Umbrellas.  The three designs come in colors of blue, pink, and green with sayings that include ” Warning, I Splash!” and If You Can Read This, I’m not Muddy Enough!”.

My daughter and I have been enjoying the pink and white colored umbrella that reads ” Rain of Shine, I’m Still Cute!” and if you know anything about my daughter, you’ll know this umbrella fits her character and personality like a glove!  I imagine my daughter will be using her umbrella for a very long time and I am at perfect peace with the quality as it’s just as good as the adult umbrellas. We live in Oregon where it rains cats and dogs, so an umbrella is a key necessity but thanks to Cheeky Umbrellas a fun fashion statement too. Now my daughter and I can keep dry and stay stylishly fashionable together.

Buy it: Cheeky Umbrellas would make a fantastic Holiday Gift! Trust me, the spring photos with one of these umbrellas would be so incredibly cute, priceless even! Adults umbrellas retail for 44.00 and the children’s umbrellas are 28.00 each.There is only a flat rate shipping fee of $5.00 for one or more! Also, all umbrellas come with a lifetime warranty.
