Does Mommy Love It?

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATS TO AMANDA B., YOU ARE THE WINNER!

Raising a child allows me to, in a sense, relive my childhood .  One of these wonderful playtime memories was time spent with lettered wooden blocks.  I just love the color designs and the layout.  Train of Dreams, an Etsy designer, makes 1/2″-cube hand-painted wooden alphabet block magnets that can be personalized.  These are reminiscent of those used when I was a child.  I had a set made in my son’s full name and display it on his magnet board.  It adds style and flare to the room.  They are too small for infants to play with so for now they are strictly used for décor.  As he grows, I will use them in aid to help him learn how to spell his name.  These are very affordable and make for great gifts!  You can purchase the alphabet magnets at $1.85 per letter.  You can also customize the blocks with your color variation preference.  Magnet blocks are so much fun and glad I found Train of Dreams!

One of my new favorite websites is Etsy.com.  I discovered Chakra Pennywhistle’s onesies there, and I find them to be so very clever and adorable.  The designer, Rikkianne, makes an assortment of items which can be found on Etsy as well as on her website.

Rikkianne personalizes each onesie or tee with an appliqué made from a vintage linen tea towel.  The tea towel is printed with the month of your child’s birthday with the actual day circled in red.  The tees and onesies are made with American Apparel’s 100% organic cotton sustainable edition line.

This could be a great outfit for your child’s birthday party.  I already dressed my son in his for a day and received many favorable comments.  These are so very unique.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.  CONGRATS, GO AMIE, SHE IS THE WINNER!

A friend of mine referred me to Sillie Smile and I just fell in love with the bibs. These bibs are handmade by a mom, Jen and was inspired by her daughter. The unique shapes ( all moon themes) of the her items fit so well on a baby. With the “Collar” bib, it actually looks like a collar on your baby’s neckline and the thin silhouette dresses up the outfit s/he is wearing instead of hiding it. Despite its size, the “Collar” bib catches drool very well. My son’s a drooler and this bib comes in handy. These bibs are great for babies that are teething too, and since they are a little shorter than your average bib, they won’t “block” your baby’s outfit, but will accessorize it! The “Full Moon” bib is great for babies who drool intensely as well as for big eaters. Shaped like a big circle, the bib serves a great purpose when feeding your baby. Another great feature is that these bibs are REVERSIBLE, with terry/chenille on one side and cute designer fabric on the other, and held together with a vintage style pearl snap button for heightened security to know that your baby can’t rip off the bibs. Jen also makes other fabulous items. After researching her etsy site, I’m a huge fan of the “Crescent Moon” blankies, which are lined with soft cotton. I also love her burp cloths and the name of the shape is so fitting, “Half Moon” burpies. All of the fabric patterns are very modern and matches any mom with style. Plus, these baby items are so soft, so fold them up and take one, two, no, three in your diaper bag wherever you go. Everything at Sillie Smile are made with 100% cotton, and are lovingly made from my pet-free and smoke-free home. All items are pre-washed and shrunk with very gentle, hypoallergenic soap (not detergent). Sillie Smile rocks!
