Bright Pillows



I just saw these on the Fabulous Finds blog and love them! They are from an Etsy shop called Robin's Egg Pink. If you haven't been on Etsy before, definitely check it out. They have much more than baby stuff, but I'm going to spend some more time in the baby section and see what they have.

Two Good Finds



These two good finds come from my good friend Shannon who has a beautiful daughter named Libby. Check out her blog for the very cute Easter garland she just made!

The first is Ju Ju Be for diaper bags. The one pictured above would be great for both mother and father to use, but they also have a bunch of fun pattern choices and several different types of bags and accessories.

The second good find is for more nursery art. Litsy Designs has a nice selection of custom name plaques. Many of them would aslo be pretty easy to paint yourself with a few supplies from a craft store.

Washing Baby


I have always liked Method products and use several of them in our home. I'm sure their baby line has been out for a while, but since we were never in the market for diaper cream until recently, I never noticed them. Well, I noticed these products at the grocery store today and thought they were very cute. So far I've seen baby shampoo, diaper cream, bubble bath and lotion. I'm going to pick some up at Target before the little ones arrive.

Feeding Baby



I have been thinking about trying to make food for our twins when they're ready for baby food. I would like to give it a try mostly to save money. I've talked to a few other moms who have done this and they say it's really not that hard and does save you a few bucks. I won't know until I give it a try how hard or easy it is, but I have been looking at a few products that would help.

The Kidco Electric Food Mill blends and Puree's food and has a great price! The Beaba Babycook from Williams - Sonoma steams, blends, warms and defrosts...pretty impressive for such a small gadget.

Shorty's


We stopped in this cute little children's store on Milwaukee called Shorty's this weekend. It's mostly handmade items like clothes, hats, bibs, blankets, etc. But, they also have a small consignment section that had some pretty nice things. My husband made his first baby purchase at the store, these very cute never worn converse sneakers for $15! Hope one of the twins is a boy! We loved the cute onsies with fun sayings and there were also vintage t-shirts that had been made into onsies. It's worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. It's at 1240 N Milwaukee.

The Red Balloon


Another tip from Alison is The Red Balloon. It's a local store at 2060 N Damen. I haven't been to the store, but I can tell how cute it is by the website. They have a really nice selection of classic books and will put together book gift buckets for you. Very cool!

Rosenberry Rooms




My friend Alison sent me a great website, Rosenberry Rooms. They have everything - furniture, baby gear, nursery art, decor, lighting, rugs...you name it, they've got it. It's a really cute site with tons and tons of products. Here are a few from the nursery art section since I'm on the artwork kick.
