As sleep deprived parents, we can appreciate having quality bedding to lay our heads down on, even if the time spent there is slight. While we may not remember the last time we deeply slumbered away, we can still ensure our little ones get a restful night’s sleep with luxuriously soft baby bedding from Gus&Max.

This very chic line includes Crib-to-Toddler bedding for standard Crib-to-Toddler beds as well as exclusive styles for the Stokke sleepi crib and Stokke mini bassinet.

Get Carried Away

This pick is a little luxury for baby, mom, and even dad! Combining splendid colors and fabrics with a modern, innovative design, BabyHawk.com is the answer to carrying your baby in comfort and style. Adopted from a Chinese-inspired idea for holding your baby, the Mei Tai from BabyHawk.com is as fun and fresh as it is functional.

Baby Hawk Mei Tai’s are designed to carry your baby on your front, back, or hip. We love that these carriers have a simple design that makes them easy to get on and off quickly (which is a lot more than we can say about some of the other carriers we’ve seen out there!) But perhaps our favorite aspect of the Mei Tai’s is their use of beautiful fabrics and detailing. Each Baby Hawk Mei Tai is custom designed, perfect for the style conscious parent.

Visit BabyHawk.com to view their catalog of in-stock carriers and fabric selections. Your baby and your back will thank you for it!

Mommy Must-Have
www.allisorignials.com

Hard working mommies deserve a little luxury themselves. We found the perfect item at Alli’s Originals, where a fellow Stay-at-Home Mom designs personalized sterling silver jewelry. These dazzling, little accessories are each hand stamped and made-to-order. The pieces exude subtle elegance and will be cherished as an artistic keepsake for years to come.

I certainly cherish my Alli’s Originals necklace, which was made especially for me, with my son Aiden’s name hand stamped into one of the charms. The accompanying charms say “love” and “joy “, making this a necklace that really encapsulates my journey as a mother. In fact, aside from my engagement ring, this is the only piece of jewelry I wear every day.

Alli uses only the finest quality materials, including sterling silver, Swarovski crystals, fresh water pearls, and semi-precious stones to create her luminous jewelry. Her line includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, key tags, and even pet ID tags. To customize and purchase your own amazing accessory, visit AllisOriginals.com.

I Dream of Denim
www.madisonandfriends.com

I can’t publish an issue on luxuries without mentioning my personal favorite luxury item: Designer Jeans! It’s the one item I will splurge on because the perfect pair of jeans is definitely worth it. On a recent online search for my favorite brand of denim (Joe’s Jeans), I discovered an awesome little site that not only sells women’s jeans, but men’s and kid’s designer jeans too.

The Denim Lounge at Madison and Friends is the best online source for kid’s designer denim that I’ve found. They carry all of the top brands including True Religion, Rock and Republic, Paper Denim, Chip and Pepper, and my personal favorite, Joe’s Jeans. Now, you don’t need to live near a major shopping metropolis to get your hands on Designer threads for your kids. The selection of women’s jeans isn’t quite as extensive as the kid’s at Madison and Friend’s Denim Lounge, but there are still plenty of fun items for Mom to pick up a little treat for herself.

Wrapables
www.wrapables.comRealizing Easter is right around the corner (Sunday, April 8th) and feeling inspired to make this a special one as this is my son’s first Easter and our first Easter as a family, I went in search for some Holiday décor. The blasé items lining the department and supermarket shelves, with their nauseating pastel designs and corny bunny motifs just weren’t cutting it this year. I wanted something a little funkier for this special occasion and I found exactly what I was looking for at Wrapables.com.

One of my favorite stores to shop for home goods, Wrapables.com, is a modern mother’s dream. From bedding to bath items, this online shop has it all. Specializing in unique pieces, it’s a great place to find hip little gems like these Nyokki Grass Pets. These kitchy creatures are a great way to dress your home for Easter, as is the Vintage Chick Coir Doormat available at Wrapables.

If you’re looking for something fun for the kids, check out this delectable Chirping Chick Kid Apron. They’ll love wearing it while they help you prepare those Easter goodies. Wrapables.com sells more than just fun home essentials. They also carry a charming line of fashion accessories.

This Nesting Necklace would make a wonderful Easter gift or an amusing present for an expecting mother anytime of the year. The necklace is a terrific way to celebrate new life, love and family. Find all of these great items at Wrapables.com.
