We all know of or at the very least have heard of Psychobaby in Bucktown (1630 N. Damen)! Moms and tots alike get giddy when they see a brown paper wrapped package with purple and orange ribbons tied to it and the Psychobaby sticker on it because we know our tot is receiving a unique and creative gift! Hurrah.
Believe it or not, Psychobaby is now even better. Brayden and I pop into Psychobaby on a regular basis to scout out our next birthday party gift and/or purchase a special treat for a special tot...Brayden. And, of course, to play on the GIANT lily pad, test out new toys and kill some time (aka burn up tot energy). On our recent visit we discovered that Psychobaby launched its own t-shirt line last week! From now on all of the Psychobaby rad designs and patterns can be put on any size or style of shirt/onesie. Your choice! Size 6 and under. The 'transfer' is done instantly in the store and your creation is ready to wear.
Psychobaby has also opened its Custom Shop. The Custom Shop offers a variety of designs and letters for printing names and any sayings on a t-shirt/onesie of your choice. The shirts are environmentally friendly and are printed with water-based ink. Bonus! Brayden and I could not resist making a shirt with his name on it. We choose the monster letters. Adorable.
These custom shirts are ready within the hour. Use this hour to let your tot run around roaming the store! Brayden loved the bouncing crying baby heads! And there is still more...every Wednesday at 10:30am stop in and listen to The Storybook Mom , Nili Yelin. The salesgirls at the store told me they call her the kid whisper because her quirky tone immediately silences even the most hyper of kids.
SALE SALE SALE!!!! !!! This Thursday and Friday (14th & 15th) be sure to pop into Psychobaby for the Brick and Mortar Blowout Sale!! You can expect a $5 bag sale, Psychobaby brand samples and much, much more! I am telling you to GO. Brayden and I were running down Damen during the last sale and on whim bought the coolest ACDC diaper bag for $8...originally $38! I get compliments every time I use it :)

BRAYDEN'S Pick: DRUMS! Real drums, rockband drums, buckets, pots, pans, laundry baskets, mom's head. DRUMMING!
Guilty Pleasure: Mickey D's
Let's face it...McDonald's is easy and convenient. I have yet to get a 'not eating' complaint at McDonald's. So I did a little research to make myself feel better for clogging my kid's arteries. Here are the stats of the Happy McNugget Meal:
4pc - 190 cal, 12 fat(g), and 10 protein(g)
small fries - 230 cal, 11 fat(g), and 3 protein(g)
Doesn't seem so horrible for energy burning tots. Of course, the calories are mostly from fat and fairly high in sodium. But the trans fats are long gone.
My point, every now and again, indulge your tot and indulge yourself...get a grilled chicken sandwich and enjoy the peace.
