rock a bib baby.

sleep, drool and rock 'n roll. We're right in the throes. I enjoy the rocking and rolling during the day and the sleeping during the night, we're getting there, but the closer we get to a "regular" schedule, the older Finn is and the drooling increases. Rock a Bib Baby has proven to be the perfect solution. Rather than ducks and trucks he's sporting bibs that are as stylish as the clothes underneath. 

Rock a Bibs feature cool rock inspired fabric designs backed with ultra-soft, absorbent white cotton chenille. Each bib is reversible and features an easy on/off front Velcro closure. They are great for drooling in style all day long.

They're absorbent, hip, last all day long and preserve the clothing underneath. Every baby deserves to drool in style.

baby sparewear.

It is true we have talked about baby sparewear before, but now that I've had first hand experience with my own newborn, I am forever grateful for my set from baby sparewear. I won't go into details but it did involve diaper changing in a public place, and left me scrambling to get myself, the baby and surrounding area cleaned up.

This is a perfect situation for the baby sparewear sets. They are stylish, comfortable and small enough to have in your diaper bag at all times. What I hadn't realized before, is that the plastic carrying case is the perfect option for your babies soiled clothing. Genius! 

It only took this one incident to ensure that I will never be without a set of baby sparewear in my diaper bag. Thank you  baby sparewear!

Available in infant and toddler sizes (perfect for the potty training days).

raspberry kids.

I love one stop shopping. It saves time and money, and when it's combined in a well rounded boutique it really is about as good as it gets for me. Enter raspberry kids. I recently came across this web boutique and am amazed at the selection, quality and overall appeal. They have you covered from clothing to feeding to decor. They feature brands that you know and love, dante beatrix, babylegs, redfish kids, boon and more. Their tagline "fresh. healthy. fun." is the criteria they use when finding their products. There is nothing in their shop they wouldn't buy, want or need for their own children, which is reassuring to me. Anything I choose comes with their stamp of approval.

I am currently loving their Chipipi Wall Stickers from designer Samantha Peters. In fact I think they are genius. Removable and reposition-able they have been a hit in our playroom. The girls love making new designs on a daily basis, and I can breathe easy knowing they won't damage or leave a sticky residue on my newly painted walls. They're the perfect way to brighten your child's room or playroom and good for hours of entertainment. Available in three different sets Red Robin, Drive Time and Butterfly Patch. $79.99.

introducing the new puj tub!

I've been waiting patiently for months to introduce to you the latest from puj. I've seen it, experienced it and firmly believe it really does simplify parenthood. There's nothing else out there that even comes close. It's new, fresh and innovative.

I've had two babies and bath time was a stressful experience with both. The big plastic tub was bulky, unattractive and not easy to store. Without the giant plastic tub, towels lined the sinks or bathtub, leaving me with extra laundry and sopping wet towels, the bottom line, there was no easy/convenient way to bathe the baby.



That is not the case with the new puj tub. It is made of foam so it's light, soft as your babies skin, easy to clean, dries quickly and comes in a variety of pleasing colors. It stores flat so you can hang it on the back of a door or slide it in your bathroom cupboard. That's convincing enough for me, but after watching the actual bath with a brand new baby (in the first week of life) I was completely sold. The tub cradles the baby, leaving them feeling safe and secure. They don't slide away from you. You can easily maneuver the baby and the tub fits in ANY standard sink. That's right no more crouching over the bathtub stressing your back, neck and knees.



The puj tub is safe and easy to use for infants 0-6 months, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic and non-toxic. Completely safe for baby and absolutely the best infant tub out there. available to purchase at pujbaby.com.

*Also worth noting, puj is currently running an exciting promotion. You can enter to win a $100 puj gift certificate for you and five of your friends. That's $600 in puj product!! Enter below and you'll receive a newsletter with all the details.

Three Good Baby Items for Apartment Dwellers

1. Svan High Chair
Like most city dwellers, space in our apartment is a precious commodity. So when we were choosing a high chair we wanted to find the smallest, most discreet option. I researched several high chairs finally decided on the Svan. Most importantly because of it's small footprint, and second because it has a tray, and finally because of its modern and discreet aesthetic. It is the size of a kitchen chair and blends in with the kitchen. Before we ponied up cash for a new one at the store I kept my eye on Craigslist for a few weeks. There is so much turn over with good quality baby gear that you can almost get anything you want for 50-75% off.

2. Bugaboo Bee
We avoided buying a stroller for the first four months and we didn't miss it once. Everyone I know who has a normal sized (large) stroller, also has a smaller umbrella stroller. The big ones are cushy but so big, alternately the small ones are lightweight but lack in the perks. The Bee is a happy medium between the two. It is a smooth ride but folds up so neat and small it fits in the corner of my bedroom. We've been so happy with it, we haven't needed to buy another one. We couldn't find one on Craigslist but we picked up the floor model at Giggle for a sizable discount.

3. Apartment Crib
My sister (Design Mom) convinced me I didn't need a regular size crib. She let me in on a little secret: a small crib is more than enough room for the first few years. We got this simple metal hotel crib and have loved it. It takes up very little space and I love the simple clean lines.

moses basket.

I'm on the lookout for a moses basket for baby #3. I think this one looks nice. Suggestions welcome of great ones you've seen/used.

ashley york.

Welcome to the world of Ashley York. It's the "perfect place for people with more taste than time". In today's busy world that seems to sum up most of us. There is nothing I love more than having a go-to site for all things "uniquely chic" and Ashley York is the place of all places. They shop the world so we don't have to, finding things that are hand-crafted, modern, timeless, and full of celebrity style. But it doesn't stop there, they've searched out the best for more than just your kids, they've found the best for your home and you! (in both women's and maternity). yes, thank you! They're the one stop retail experience you'll want to come back to again and again.

My top picks:

bird on a branch bootie $29

pink bandage l/s tee $24

Kooky Doll friend Vivi $36

little man houndstooth sweater $26

bubblecakes.

One of the best gifts I received when Stella was born was a baby blanket Ryan's aunt made that she personalized with Stella's name. It added just the right touch and made it mean so much more. In my experience with babies I have found that you can never have enough blankets, and

every time I think I've found the perfect baby blanket, another one comes along. Bubblecakes is the latest on my list of blanket love. My favorite part, the personalization. 

The blankets come in a variety of styles: modern, vintage, retro and more. Each blanket is made from the highest quality cotton and backed with ultra soft minky in coordinating colors, but no blanket is complete without your choice of personalization and a coordinating diaper bag tag.

At Bubblecakes we specialize in baby blankets. Our goal is to create a boutique quality, unique and stylish, personalized baby blankets, that will become a special heirloom to be cherished for years to come.

I think Bubblecakes has more than met their goals, and I can't wait to add one of their heirloom blankets to baby #3's collection.

wet happened.

As a mother, you quickly learn to be prepared. The diaper bag is always stocked with extra clothing, diapers, wipes, snacks the list goes on. At a moments notice you could need any given number of things. I used to always have a plastic grocery bag or two on hand for dirty diapers, spit-up clothing or wet clothes, it wasn't pretty but it did an okay job of masking odors and keeping other items dry.

Wet happened has given me the perfect solution. No longer do I have plastic bags floating around in diaper bags and purses. Instead a fashionable, reusable wet bag. It folds flat and stores beautifully and covers me from diapers to potty training accidents and everything in between (including wet swimwear from the pool) which I have loved this summer.

The details: Made with a whimsical and thick cotton outer print, then lined with a Polyurethane Laminate. Constructed with the two layers sewn seperately, the zippered top secures contents to keep smells where they belong. Double sewn to help prevent wicking. 

Available here in two sizes.
