We have arrived at the highly unanticipated "I can do it myself" stage in our household. Unfortunately, that includes things that my daughter really can't do herself, like chopping vegetables with a big pointy knife. So in order to maintain some semblance of my sanity, I'm in the market for anything that fosters independence--and won't cut off her fingers.

That's why I'm loving Myself Belts, the do-it-yourself pants holder-upper invented by two moms who obviously felt my pain. With a simple snap and a press of the velcro, your child will have fastened his or her own stylish belt without once screaming, moooo-ooooom. There's a design for every outfit, including even a fancy black leather.

Not only will you have a well-accessorized child, you might actually have more time to do some things for yourself in the morning. Remember what that was like? -Kristen
