New from All About Baby

All About Baby's line of 100% cotton terry bathing suit cover-ups, bibs and hooded towels are classic and so very cute. Everything can be personalized and would make beautiful baby gifts.

I just ordered a white cover-up with apple green trim that we’ll use for the bath and this summer we’ll take to the pool as a cover -up. Every time I wrap up my daughter, shivering, after a bath I can dream about summer!

Petite Miette: Elegant and Organic

elizabeth leach — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT

Petite Miette is French for “Little Crumb”. Everything about this company is beautiful: their products, their packaging, their logo and their philosophy of designing simple, elegant, organic clothing and accessories for babies and toddlers.

All of their products are 100% certified organic and died with low impact dyes. Low impact dyes create intense, sophisticated, saturated colors. Choose from kiwi, pomegranate, blueberry, Clementine and natural.

The collection includes seven luxurious products: playtime wrap (above photo and below photo), bath time wrap, hooded towel and mitt, bib, bottle cozy, playtime blanket and receiving blanket. My favorite is the playtime wrap, a kimono with a soft cotton fleece lining. Their hooded towel and bath mitt would make a dream baby shower gift. And their bibs have a top layer that can be snapped off and replaced with a clean topper. Great for a teething baby!

The above playtime wrap is in pomegranate and the below playtime wrap is in kiwi. Sizes are up to 24 months. Shop Petite Miette.

In the Nursery: Babylicious is so "Licious"

The new Babylicious website is so beautiful that you are immediately coaxed into the land of “icious” from the moment you see the homepage. All words that end in “icious” are very, very good words. “Droolicious”, being just one of those words. In any case, follow me into this delicious world…

If you’ve heard of Babylicious it’s probably because you’ve seen it at Target, but now they have their own website so many more colors and styles are available. Choose from bedding, hooded towels, bibs, burp cloths, wash cloths, décor, sleep sacks, and pillows all in modern, funky patterns and colors and all affordably priced. (My favorite words are "modern" and "affordably priced.") Here are a few of my top picks...

The hooded towels are luxurious and fun. With 10-oz looped cotton terry, they're extremely soft and absorbent. The above photo is in the "Groovy Blue" pattern. ($26.50)

I’m a huge fan of sleep sacks since babies kick off their blankets when they sleep. I love the "Go Fish" pattern (above photo) in chocolate and pale green. 100% cotton with snaps at shoulders, front & bottom for easy on and off. Choose the lightweight or winter weight options and prices range from $14 to $55.

The "Zoo" pattern (above pillows) is so much fun and babies love it! It's like a picture book! (The pillows are $21 each.) The matching crib sheet, with different colored polka dots, is my favorite in the entire Babylicious collection. The colors remind me of Fruit Striped gum! (Crib sheet is $23.10.)

Children’s Club Expo: 3 Sprouts

elizabeth leach — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:09:00 GMT

I had the pleasure of attending my first children’s clothing show yesterday and what a smorgasbord of fun stuff for kids! I did see some booths of fluffy white dresses that I passed quickly and there were a lot of the same kind of thing over and over. However, a few companies really stood out and one of them was 3 Sprouts.

You have probably already seen their incredible sleep sacks with the three dots on the chest. (image below) Yesterday, I saw their organic hooded towels which are extremely cute and would make unbelievable baby shower gifts. A towel isn’t something I normally would get excited about, but these towels are designed so well and like their sleep sacks are a great example of simple, modern design.

Purchase 3 Sprouts here and the shipping is free.

Droolworthy: Bambini Bliss Masked Hero Hooded Towels

Mir — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 16:02:00 GMT

I'm going to excuse these towels for being $39 apiece on account of they're full-size and easily trump the little animal-hood towels any day of the week. This is the gift that will make you a stand-out, and the towel they'll ask for again and again. Hey, kids fly around the house after a bath -- naked and dripping, declaring themselves superheroes -- regardless. You may as well let them look the part. Get yours at Bambini Bliss.
