Trendy Faves - "Babies Are Boring"

Babies are boring, repetitive, and a whole lot of work. This charming little book by Jon Ritchie provides a humorous look at the endless diaper changes, midnight feedings, and all the other tedious tasks involved in infant care. It truly is the perfect relief for any parent looking for a fresh new book to entertain their young ones, making it one of our immediate faves. Each page is brightly illustrated with a different animal family surviving everyday life with their young. It's not  all work though and some of the sweet rewards of parenthood like the giggles and smiles are included towards the end of the book. It finishes with a sweet, but simple message..."Babies are boring...but if I have to be bored, I'm glad it's by you!"

Available from Purple Possum Publishing, Babies are Boring would be a wonderful addition to any little library.

Trendy Faves - Custom Artwork Applique

  Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh have all created masterpieces, but nothing as priceless as your child's art. The problem is that the prime display space on a typical family refridgerator fills up quickly, leaving many works of art collecting dust in a drawer. That's why our new fave is Cascade Lemonade's custom applique created from your own child's artwork.   You can choose between an iron on or sew on patch that can be added to clothing, bags, pillows, blankets or most things you can imagine. Created from a photo of your child's drawing, Cascade Lemonade will work with you to design an applique that features the colors and pattern you prefer. What a great way to create a unique gift for someone special or a keepsake of your budding little artist's talent!

Trendy Faves - "Cozy Wedge"

Everyone wants the polished look of a finished nursery. Crib bumpers are an easy way to create that picture perfect look, but pose many safety concerns. Research from safety organizations link crib bumpers to SIDS among other risks. Now a little company called Cozy Wedge has the solution and our new fave!

The Cozy Wedge bumper provides a finished look without the safety risks. Created from baby safe foam that is extra firm and lightweight, the wedge shaped bumper fits snugly into the crib and won't slip down or compress when your baby rolls against it, so it will not form a pocket around their mouth and nose. The cotton slipcover is available in a variety of patterns and solid colors and can easily be removed for washing. With six ties, (only three need to be undone to change the sheets), this little gem will be less of a headache for you too! Sweet dreams!

What a delightfully delicious idea!

Trendy Faves - "Boo Boo Bags"
