A Very Undead One-Piece Wednesday

This week's One-Piece Wednesday giveaway is delightfully frightening. Psychobabies and zombies have so much in common: they walk around drooling and moaning, doing anything they can to be fed. This one-piece declares that your baby is really a little monster. It also makes the perfect Halloween gift!

Psychobaby's Top 10 Things NOT to do with your Child

Let's face it. Our kids can be our best friend (or our worst nightmare) but sometimes we forget that they aren't ready for all the insanity of our daily life. We did some serious research and compiled the most epic list of things you should most definitely not inflict on your kid.

1. Go to the Gym

Going to the gym is part of our weekly routine... (when we can fit it into our busy schedules). One of my biggest pet peeves is those unfortunate few who skip the babysitter and head straight to the gym with Larry Jr. in toe to cry and make a scene while I'm working off that entire cheesecake I ate the night before. Alright Super Dad. We get it. You are 3% body fat and when you aren't searching for your own neck you are dead squatting 300 pounds. No need to rub it in our faces in it that you can do it all with a kid strapped to your chest! Are you trying to score your kid a date? Jeez, man, just buy him a studly t-shirt from Psychobaby.

2. Fix The Ceiling fan

We all want our kids to adopt our profession... But COME ON! If you are Ceiling-Fan-Fixer you should probably wait till your kid can climb a ladder before you send him up to fix his first fan! His tiny little fingers are perfect for weeding loose wires in and out of small places but lets give the kid the benefit of the doubt and go ahead and say not everyone wants to grow up to be Ceiling-Fan-Fixers. Personally I'd be more likely to opt for the safer occupation like Oscillating-Floor-Fan-Fixer....

3. Use Them as Your Designated Driver 

image credited from: thenewsburner.comSome people have kids to save the marriage, some have kids to shut their mother-in-law up, and some very special people have kids so that they have somebody to keep them company while they hit the bottle. Why not take it one step further, Mr. dad of the year? Plop your offspring in the driver's seat when you've had too much. He's too young to go to jail, right? And you need that license to buy more beer. Call a cab next time.









4. Go Longboarding

Summer's here and I know it because there are longboarders everywhere. Weaving in and out of traffic, flying through stop signs, wind blown hair, and those super stylish floral print board shorts. (I NEED SOME OF THOSE!!) As sweet as it may look, it's some serious stuff! So instead of letting your little boy or girl shred along side you through endless amounts of danger, just take the bus.

5. Go to Martial Arts Class


Taking junior to the gym is one thing, but using him as a miniature sparring buddy is just not fair. First of all, your child is very small and fragile and, even if you do happen to win, it doesn't seem like a fair fight. Secondly, look at your belt, dude. It's black. You're supposed to be a full-fledged ninja by now. The fact that somebody was even able to capture a photograph of you in this position means you should be back at the dojo begging Sensei for forgiveness. If you want your little kid to look like he can kick serious butt, check out this Kung-Fu Romper from Okutani.

6. Cat-Sitting


Big cats can run at speeds up to 70 mph. Your baby can't even walk yet. Do we really need to keep going? We do? Okay. They have night vision, sharp claws and they use Earth's gravity to know where they are at all times. You hear that? They have built-in GPS! You don't let your kid play with your phone, don't let them play with oversized felines, either. Seriously, get the kid a meowing stuffed animal from Melissa & Doug.

7. Visit the Tattoo Studio


Yeah, babies have a "unique" and "innocent" perspective on fine art. We get it. What baby doesn't have is the fine motor skills and concentration required to be a tattoo artist. I mean maybe they've got a real future in the field, but at least get the kid an apprenticeship first. And don't go inking your baby up either, there are Psychobaby tattoo gifts for that.

8. Attend Wild Beach Parties

It's summer time and the living's easy, right? Wrong! Your kid is home from school, bugging you about seeing Spy Kids 4D and telling you that's he's bored every 30 seconds. We know what you're thinking: "I'll just bring the kid to the beach. Babes love kids! Great idea, if you want to be the biggest perv at the party AND have intoxicated coeds sneaking booze to your impressionable offspring.

9. Chop Wood


Unless your baby is setting some sort of record - no, forget that, there is NO reason to put an axe in your baby's hand. In fact, don't even put Axe body spray in your baby's hand... unless you want the house to smell like a locker room. But your kid wants to be a fireman? Great, buy him a shirt or some cool toys. But don't put him on wood chopping duty. Please.

10. Bake Cookies


Sure, nursery rhymes may have you jaded about rolling and patting and marking with a B... but baking with your kid isn't as easy as it sounds, just ask those four and twenty blackbirds who got themselves baked into a pie! If your kid is begging for some stove time, just convince them that these are real.

Conclusion: Your kid is safer at home being watched by the dog than it is going out with you... ANYWHERE! Leave your child at home (and at least TRY to find a human sitter)!

TaranTiny vs Tarantino

Some things just go together... peanut butter and jelly, Hall & Oates, Cowboys & Aliens...

Two things one would not intuitively put together in the same thought: Babies and the films of Quentin Tarantino. BUT WAIT! We've found a way to bring the two together, and the results are quite fashionable.

Here we have an almost identical match - this awesome Kung Fu romper from Okutani is a dead ringer for Uma's kick-butt jumpsuit in Kill Bill.
"And you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? ...A Royale with Cheese!" - Pulp Fiction. Celebrate the worldwide reign of the Royale with Cheese by dressing your lil nugget in Ouch's sparkly Cheeseburger tee.
Maybe your baby is a bad-@ss little Bonnie, just waiting for her Clyde? Let her rock Patricia Arquette's crazy neon style in True Romance with this super-fly pink zebra onesie.
Like car, like child. Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike in Death Proof would def wear Psychobaby's Skully tee... if it came in his size.
Saved the best for last! Whether you have a little Mr. Orange, Pink, Green, Red, Black, or whatever color floats his boat... he will kill it (not literally!) wearing Appaman's Mod Suit in grey.
So even the littlest cinephile can at least *look* really freakin' cool, if not yet actually view the films that inspired his or her ensemble.

When I Grow Up....

Every Psychobaby has a dream. And while their number one dream might be to find cool and crazy kids clothes, most of them have some early career aspirations as well. We sent Steve Harvey to the streets to question 100 Psychobabies, Family Feud style, and the jobs that made it onto the board were: Business Man, Fireman, Artist and, of course, Rock Star.

With the sweet "Shop This Look" feature on our website, you can grab the perfect collection of themed items with minimal hassle. Just choose sizes, personalization (if applicable) and add 'em to your cart! It couldn't be easier.

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a... Very Small Cake?

Boooooooooring

So you're getting ready to make a batch of cupcakes with your little dude. You've got your flour, your baking soda and your sugar ready, when all of a sudden X-Men comes on TV and little dude says: "Hey (mom / dad / grandma / grandpa / Uncle Ralph) can we make our cupcakes look like superheroes?!"

You think back to past baking endeavors... The bundt cake that wasn't quite hollow in the center, the apple pie that turned out looking a little bit square, the banana bread that somehow came out in the shape of an actual banana... And you think that you better play it safe with this batch. That is, until you remember that you've got THESE:

WHOA! (Photo from Williams Sonoma)

That's right. Williams-Sonoma's online store is selling an incredible Marvel ™ Cakelet Pan so that you and little dude can whip up some cupcakes that would rival those of even the most hardcore Comic-Con nerd. No more baking disasters. With this pan you bake Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and The Incredible Hulk right in your kitchen.

But wait! Every superhero-cakelet-baking little dude needs the appropriate threads for such an occasion. Good thing Psychobaby has some of the flyest and hippest superhero gear, like this Superhero Tee (also available as a one-piece) that you can personalize to include your favorite caped crusader's first initial.

And that's not all... We've got an entire page of our cool and crazy website dedicated to Superhero themed gifts. Grab one for the tiny superhero in your life!

One-Piece Wednesday Teaches Your Baby To Play Guitar

You know what they say about baby geniuses... you have to start 'em out young. For those parents who prefer a baby Hendrix over a baby Einstein, we've got this awesome new one-piece that is sure to bring smiles to anyone who sees it in action.

Here's how to create a mini rock star in 3 easy steps:

1. Hold your Psychobaby's left arm out straight. We can also put the neck on the right arm for the Southpaw strummers.
   
2. Take your Psychobaby's opposite hand and strum or pick at the wicked cool axe on the one-piece.
   
3. World tour.

Every Baby Poops...

We recently stumbled upon How To Be A Dad: the hilarious blog of Andy Herald and Charlie Capen, and we can't get enough of their silly "Instructional Diagrams" that explain the things you won't learn in any parenting book.

Psychobaby ♥'s Chicago

It's true! We love the windy city, especially in the summer. Festivals, sidewalk sales and lots of new little (and big) friends have made this summer one of the most memorable we've had in a while.
