b blanket {giveaway!}

When I found out about the newest line of Rain or Shine Kids, I was thrilled. The Woobee is one of my all time favorite and used blankets. We take it everywhere, the beach, the park, hikes... you get the idea. So when Heather (owner and designer) said they'd created the b blanket at a more economical price point, I couldn't wait to see it. The b blanket is a water-resistant fleece with ribbon ties and sports the same quality you've grown to know and love from Rain or Shine Kids. (also worth noting, there are currently sample b blankets for sale for only $20... so stock up for yourself and for gifts!)

The day it arrived we started using it, even though it's supposed to be for the new baby, it has been perfect for all our outdoor activities despite the crazy weather we've been having keeping the girls warm and dry. I'm sure the baby won't mind that his sisters have pre-approved the blanket for him...

Lucky for you, Rain or Shine Kids is giving away the celery green blanket today (a $36 value)!

west coast baby {giveaway!}

If you haven't experienced westcoast baby yet, it needs to be at the top of your list. Two moms while on maternity leave with their second babies, founded what has to be one of the top 5 layette companies out there. They've taken "traditional Japanese shapes and vintage practicality and added a whimsy of funky colour."

They can be found in over 100 retail locations across Canada and the US and for good reason. Each piece is snapless, zipperless and buttonless providing ease and comfort. They've put together the perfect combination for you and your baby.

They're infant kimonos have long been a favorite of mine, but more recently they've launched the In The Hood line (available in sizes 0-3 months through 18-24 months and pictured above), which is equally impressive. 100% soft, 100% comfortable and 100% perfect.

And while their clothing is fantastic, I can't help but mention this blanket I have absolutely fallen in love with. Bright and fun and perfect for swaddling.

Today westcoast baby is giving away your choice of the Wasabi and Chocolate or Mandarin and Chocolate set in their newest line (a $60 value).

Q Collection Junior {giveaway!}

At Q Collection and Q Collection Junior, we don't just sell products - we sell peace of mind. People Safe. Planet Safe.

With all the recalls, new laws and constant information coming in about the harmful products and ingredients being used in our childrens' environments, peace of mind is worth a lot. Q Collection has been designing and creating beautiful furniture and textiles that are safe for people and the planet for a long time . More recently they've started creating the same things for children, especially infants. It hasn't been easy, but they are proud of the fact that they have an entire line of children's furniture and bedding made to the same standards they've always maintained, and while it may have been challenging, it was absolutely worth it!

The collection is beautiful. It's whimsical and elegant, it is the perfect amount of modern... and has been used by even the most famous of celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman, but don't let that be the convincing factor. Allow Q Collection Junior to speak for itself.



It's easy to fall in love with, and knowing your baby is fast asleep on bedding that is perfectly healthy will help you rest at ease, what could be worth more?

Today Q Collection junior is giving away a set of their Celestial Parade Crib sets (that's a $400 value)!
