The Baby Planners are thrilled to announce their partnership with Classic Kids Photography! Thanks to founder Julie Floyd, Classic Kids is a nationally distinguished name in children’s photography, with nine studio locations across the country – all in kid-friendly neighborhoods!

This elite group of photographers share a common vision and an uncommon style. Their goals are simple, to produce fabulous photographs of kids and their families using black and white film.

They not only have The Baby Planners Seal of Approval, but countless families across the country as well!

Transforming a dude into a dad is apparently not as easy as our hubbies made it look. That’s why we LOVE this new DVD from Australia called Being Dad. There are two discs covering “Pregnancy and Birth” and “Bringing Baby Home” both of which offer a fabulous and fun look at Daddy Dudedom!

The good news is that Being Dad is on a global path. A new disc featuring American Dads (40 Dads, 6 experts, 9 months, 80 minutes!) is now available and they’re currently casting for UK Dads.

You may be surprised, touched, and overwhelmed at what these real dads-to-be go through – without the hormones to blame it on!

Set your DVR’s for this Thursday, August 14th to catch The Baby Planners on Access Hollywood! We’ll be featured on Hollywood Green with Maria Menounos on the Planet Green Channel (click here to find it.) We’ll be taking the Diaper Bag “Green Challenge,” talking about which celebs use which green products, and offering suggestions on how to take baby steps towards a green lifestyle…. (but here’s how they describe it!:)

Pam Anderson bares all about new reality show which chronicles the construction of her new eco-friendly Malibu Mansion, celebrity Baby Planners show us green diaper bag must-haves and the stars for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 discuss how they go green.

With so many of our clients “going green,” we’re often asked about products that are both safe for baby and the environment. Here are a few of our faves as highlighted in a recent Chicago Tribune article:

Fleurville Re-Run messenger/diaper bag
We love this company and their commitment to the environment. Their diaper bags are PVC- and Teflon-free, and made out of plastic water bottles.

Green to Grow baby bottles
BPA and phthalate-free – we’re big fans!

G-Diapers
Whether you “flush, compost or toss,” these diapers are eco-friendly and a great way to ease into the green lifestyle.

Babysoy clothing
Made from renewable natural resources—leftover pulp from tofu, soy milk and other soy products – these clothes are more than just environmentally friendly, they’re adorable, too!

Under the Nile toys
These organic cotton toys are fun and safe for baby to play with and chew on.
