Cuddly Creatures
www.blablakids.com

Little ones love getting cozy with cuddly dolls and toys which is why we’re such fans of the blablakids.com line of dolls, toys, pillow chums, and accessories made from natural fibers and knitted by Peruvian artisans. The design of this line blends bright, happy colors with the ancestral knowledge of the knitters, resulting in dolls that are modern in style, yet “feel like old friends”.

Some of our favorite finds at blabla kids include the line of silly monkey dolls and the enchanting mermaid dolls. They also carry kitty, doggie, and garden creature dolls, each one unique but equally cute. Babies will love the knitted fruit or vegetable rattle set available at blablah kids, and what a fun way to introduce healthy foods.

As defined by the creators, blabla means nothing and everything; it’s a swirl of letters flying, a small word for a big idea…”happiness fits in the palm of the hand.” We love that idea and we love blablakids.com for their dolls that bring happiness and smiles to our little ones.

Sock it to Me

We know how important it is to keep those little socks snug on baby’s wiggly toes. Though this in and of itself can be rather challenging, adding shoes to the equation can sometimes prove downright impossible. The ingenious designs of Trumpette socks offer a simple and fabulously stylish solution.

Why bother with silly ol’shoes when you can slip these brilliant, trendy socks on instead. Babies will enjoy the comfort of these high quality socks and mommy can pride herself on her wee one’s fun fashion statement. We especially adore the Mary Janes for girls and the Johnny’s for boys. Or for another fun look, we can’t resist the Wonderful World of Trumpette Monkeys for baby’s little monkey toes.

Baking in Style

A surefire way to get your home feeling its coziest is to whip up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Toddlers will gobble them up in pure delight, and mom can enjoy creating her tasty morsels in a stylish apron from murgedesigns.com. Own this gorgeous kitchen attire and you’ll be looking for excuses to bake.

There are several adorable prints to choose from in this 100% cotton canvas apron with solid cotton trim. Modern moms will appreciate the voguish look of the bubble design in red and black. Retro loving domestic divas will flip for the loop style in powder blue and coral. Our latest favorite color combination, lime green and chocolate, has even found its way to the stripe design, perfect for any posh mommy.
