Clean Up With Modern Baby Wipes

When we were young and babysitting the neighbor’s children was the only summer job that seemed manageable, we were often faced with the dreaded yet inevitable question, ‘Do you change diapers?’ Now, for those who have their own children to change, you’ve come to understand that there is just no getting around this daily dirty task. When having children, a definition of a busy day suddenly changes from shopping, shopping, and more shopping to cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning. Thankfully with the help of Made by Angie’s handmade baby wipe containers, we can feel a little more excited to clean up after our little ones when greeted with a vibrant and unique design!

Back to School: Kids' Activity Tables

Whether we would like to or not, we need to accept the fact that the last few days of summer are upon us and the new fall season is just around the corner. For some of you, this may be the first fall season that your children are going to pre-school or perhaps you are an expert when it comes to getting your kids ready for kindergarten, first grade, and so on. A great way to keep your child engaged in their schoolwork is to have a fun and creative zone in which they can retreat to for activities, workbooks, and puzzles. Kids' table and chair sets come in a large variety of vibrant colors and modern patterns without compromising comfort.

It's important to give your child a room in the house that is truly theirs, whether it is their bedroom, a study den, or a playroom. Many table and chair sets or desks come with extra storage space, drawers, and shelves to encourage an organized environment. You can store arts and crafts materials, pencils, drawing tools, erasers, and any other necessities for your children to use on a regular basis.

Baby Beanie Hats

No, we aren’t talking about the legendary Beanie Babies collectables! Flowered beanie hats are an adorable addition to your children’s wardrobe and accessory closet. Perfect for any season throughout the year, these colorful crocheted masterpieces fit snugly on children from 0-24 months as well as toddlers that are 2-4 years in age.

Featured Design Blog: Project Nursery

When furnishing a new room, everyone needs a little boost of encouragement and a whole lot of inspiration. Without either, nothing would ever get done and that's where baby design blogs come into play. Today I would like to feature Project Nursery, a charming nursery design blog that is full of tips to fill your baby's first room with colorful décor, dress your little one up in modern gear, and furnish the nursery with the latest contemporary baby furniture designs.

After going to college together, the two authors shared an apartment in New York City and went through all of the exciting changes that life has to offer from careers to husbands and then onto babies. My favorite part of Project Nursery is the interactive element as they encourage readers to send in pictures of their kids' rooms, share decorating tips of their own, and discuss any fun and unique children's designs that can be added to a nursery or playroom. When you find yourself lacking inspiration or just can't stand the color palette your interior decorator is showing you, turn to Project Nursery for a breath of fresh air!

A Day in the Life of a Modern Tot’s Shoes

Everyone loves a new pair of shoes to sport around outside, at the mall, or hanging out with friends and toddlers are no exception! Last weekend, I spent some quality time with my second cousin, Vivian who is now 4 ½ years old – obviously she emphasizes the ‘half’ when talking about her age. During our afternoon playtime, I couldn’t help but notice the dazzling kicks she was sporting on her two little feet while she was beating me big time in an intense game of tag.

After asking Viv’s mother where she found this amazing find, she let me know about Morgan & Milo, an up and coming children’s shoe company that fuses a little bit of modern fashion, practicality, and comfort together to produce a shoe that kids love and parents adore. The Morgan & Milo’s site captures the essence of their company’s mission and explains the inspiration behind their wonderful product for the kids’ clothing market:

“We are inspired by the simple, enduring qualities of the timeless brands of our childhood. Classic and comfortable, our footwear is well-suited for everyday wear. With an emphasis on practical detailing, playful colorations and outstanding comfort and fit, our products are perfect for all of life's little activities—all those puddle-jumping, rock-climbing, bike-riding, puppy dog-chasing, and hopscotching-filled days.”

Chic & Stylish Diaper Bags

We all are aware that when having a baby, stress comes with the territory. At least we have accepted that fact and try to find small ways to alleviate some of the day-to-day stress that we experience from the wee hours of one morning to the next. Part of the problem is that we soon realize we only have two hands and most of the time they are busy holding, changing, feeding, or playing with a baby. A second factor to baby stress is that we can’t find the perfect toy, “binkie”, or stuffed animal to help soothe the cries of our little one. Most of the time, we are cleaning up in the nursery or the kitchen after lunchtime and just like your head, your baby’s belongings are all out of sorts around the house.

One way to avoid unnecessary stress, free your tied up hands, and keep your child’s space clean is to invest in a quality diaper bag that will hold all of your baby’s daily necessities. The last mothers want is another backache or headache from a heavy, clunky bag and that’s why I wanted to share a list of modern and stylish diaper bags that are in the form of a tote, backpack, and messenger bag to bring you the comfort and style you deserve! There are even a few patterns that would suit good ol’ Dad.
