And what, exactly is UPF? The Ultraviolet Protection Factor.

Not the same as SPF, the UPF rating system was developed specifically for clothing and swimwear items. This rating factor helps consumers determine how much protection they can expect to receive from their garments; in this case, baby swimwear.

There are many retailers that are selling UPF rated baby clothes and swimwear, but two of the most comprehensive sites I've found are Baby Sun Protection and Alex & Me Co.

Each of the sites have an amazing selection of UPF rated baby swimwear for both girls and boys and the prices are great. Choose from hats, swim shirts, swim suits, and shorts. We'll have more in the coming week about UPF rated baby swimwear, baby clothes, where you can find them and my favorite picks.

Great news for any parent that longs for the goods that celebrity moms have; eBay now has a store called "Celebrity Moms" and it's got all sorts of hand-me-down goodies on the auction block.

Grab an Adidas track suit and sneakers, worn by the son of one of my favorite actresses, Mariska Hargitay.

Looking for a fly diaper bag? Try a Designer b-kaed Baby Diaper Bag donated by Matt and Lucy Damon; prefer actress Tori Spelling? That's fine, she's donated a diaper bag too, plus some seriously cute baby boy clothes.

All proceeds from the auction benefit Johnson's new global charity initiative, BabyCause that supports a multitude of projects being handled by dozens of charities that care for the well-being of baby's and momma's everywhere.

If you've got some extra cash laying around from the "economic stimulus" check and you feel like splurging on your baby, this is the time to do it. The items are adorable and the cause the auction benefits is great. Enjoy your shopping!
