There's always been so much controversy about crib bumper safety. Even so, when my first son was a baby, I always longed for a bumper. They looked so cool in the crib and added that extra bit of style to the nursery. However since 2010 w…
If you're considering a baby blanket as a gift for the upcoming holidays, or simply for a new baby in your life, I can't think of a more beautiful gesture than one of these Me Two You baby blankets . Because for every one you buy, one is…
A blankey is the the one gift that I didn't care we received way too many of when my daughter was born. It's a perfect idea when you have no idea what the new parents have or need , but want something more keepsake-y than diapers. But th…
Nothing says "welcome to the world baby" quite like a cozy quilt. We must have gotten half a dozen of them as gifts when each of my sons were born. We are fully loaded with brightly colored patchworks, dizzying animal prints and handmade…
If there's one baby product that's made a name for itself in the last few years, it's the cotton muslin swaddling blanket. Yes, we've been tracking down the best ones for quite a few years now, but they've never been as beautiful and ado…
It must be hard to come up with new twists on old baby gear, like sleep sacks, but it seems there's always a smart mom out there ready to devise a brilliant improvement. And if there is, we're going to find her. Or in the case of the Gun…
I love the idea of buying a keepsake blanket for a baby, but in my experience, they're usually more beautiful than they are useful. However that's not the case when it comes to these mom-designed blankets that are as gorgeous as they are…
We've panted over Noko's baby clothes and girls' dresses and, now the baby gear obsessed among us can covet their new unbelievably gorgeous baby blankets. Or better yet, we can buy them. I am in love with Noko's updated traditional Japan…
It used to drive me crazy when my son was a newborn that I couldn't learn how to swaddle properly with a swaddling blanket. My husband could. In fact, everybody else could. Why wasn't this genius product around then? I could have looked …
I first discovered the fleece personalized baby blankets from mom-run Admiral Road a few years back, and really liked their bold, child-friendly designs right away. Having owned one for several years now, it sure has held up over time; i…
If MTV's show Cribs was actually about cribs, this is what you'd see: Custom, handmade, super-luxe linens for only the poshest of tots. As narrated by Robin Leach. Of course, you can also buy it retail, but it's still going to cost you. …
I remember wrangling that swaddling blanket and trying to wrap our first newborn babe like a burrito over and over and over again. More often, we accomplished a tortilla, flat and floppy, with baby girl seriously unimpressed with her par…
I love making quilts. Well... quilt. I made one quilt. The job, the kids, life in general, and time in particular have since conspired against me. So Quilt Creator is a dream realized. It's the chance to be a quilter extraordinaire--with…
I like to give crafted baby items made of fabric that are as soft and as safe as possible. And if they look fabulous? Even better. A brand new organic baby line is in town (virtually), and the fabrics are sophisticated enough for grown u…
Looks like it's the time of year for another cool line at Target to make me --a Canadian-- feel a little jealous. This time, it's the DwellStudio for Target Fall 2010 collection - a whole bunch of gorgeous baby layette items that I'm alr…
I've had new bedding on the brain lately. Maybe it's the change of seasons, maybe it's the fact that we no longer have babies who are going to be spewing liquids all over our bed. (Or so we hope.) But after looking at the department stor…
Even though I haven't had a baby around here in just under two years, I still use my aden + anais muslin swaddling blankets. But with a new little one arriving soon, I might just have to splurge and add more of their amazing swaddlers to…
Picking out a baby gift for my brand new niece, Isabella, was incredibly easy when I discovered makaboo --or difficult depending how you look at it. [don't miss a great offer, and giveaway after the jump!] Easy, because the shop has a gr…
We get outrageously excited when see some of our favorite small brands hit the big time, and it's no surprise that our perennial top pick Aden + Anais has done just that. They've created a line of their awesome muslin baby blankets and s…
We rarely leave the house without our Rain or Shine Kids waterproof stroller blanket - whether it's a cool fall picnic, winter jog, or spring walk in the park. And now, with their organic sun protection blanket, I think they've pretty mu…
My sons are 7 and 9, but every night, the snuggle up in bed with their favorite stuffed friends. Those "stufties," as my little son calls them, are just one more layer of familiarity and comfort in their lives. Not every child has that t…
The stories are true. It gets darn cold up here in Canada in the winter. The kind of cold that makes your kids stand inside, shivering as they look out the front door, let alone open it and walk out. So, if we ever want to go anywhere at…
With some of our closest friends and family (and yes, even you, our fabulous readers) taking the plunge into parenthood through the amazing gift of adoption, we're always on the lookout for amazing finds as a way to celebrate their journ…
I just found out we're expecting a boy who'll be sharing a room with our 3-year-old daughter, who will be 3 years old, so I need to buy bedding for both of them. Any suggestions on where to find bedding that will look great in a boy baby…
