I need to get rid of a wooden high chair, changing table, stroller, safety gates, bed rails ... I'm sure the list will go on once I finally get a chance to clean out the attic where I crammed all my outgrown baby stuff just to get it out of my sight.

I'm leery about Craigslist because I don't want creeps at my house, eBay just isn't for me, and I'm so not in the mood to put on a tag sale. Not keen on paying money for an ad in the paper, either. Come to think of it, all the above options could involve creeps.

These lovely stacking blocks are decorated with beautiful papers, small words, all the letters of the alphabet, and the numbers 1-10. There's also a full picture on one side for puzzle-making. A great plaything and a learning toy combined.

Right now these pretty handmade and made-to-order blocks are $24 (sale price) for the set of 12 at Lily & LOU (aka CafeMom carrie_grace). Blocks are sealed with several coats of a waterproof, nontoxic, water-based sealer.

Love this non-toxic duck!

My daughter loves rubber duckies, and she has quite a collection since her grandfather has sent her every duck imaginable—a princess duck, a cowboy duck, a chef duck, etc.  She plays with them during her bath and likes to put them in her mouth, which stresses me out. Why? Rubber ducks are toxic.
