Wee Baby Stuff

The other day I found a sheaf of paper with arcane writings in illegible script in the Bear's room. An example: Ppop - 13.41 or RIGHT -  4.00? - 25 mims. Ah yes! The breastfeeding and diapering 'charts'. For those folks who haven't yet had their pookie some explanation is probably in order; hospitals usually ask new parents to compile a list of their babies intake (time at the breast) and their 'outgoings' for the...

Turning your babies room into a planetarium, (minus the grade 4 field trippers) sounds like a wonderful idea to me.  The Twilight collection of nightlights by Cloud b do just that; they project the constellations (accurately) onto the ceiling, as well as providing a comforting nightlight. And they have soft arms! They come in a turtle, sea-turtle or ladybug design and are second cousins to the sleep sheep that Diy Maven posted about. A part...

Kawaii is Japanese for CUUUUUUTE! Cute cute, big eyeballs, fluffy-bunny, rainbow-poodle cute. It's rather an acquired taste.If you love it then you might be interested in Artist Ami Suma's wall paintings, they manage to be cute without being sweet enough to give you toothache. See more of them on her website. If you like the look but can't or don't want to commit to a huge element like a mural then Superbuzzy, emporium of all...

My sweetie and I aren't religious at all so a Baptism or Christening for Ted wasn't something we felt comfortable with, but we wanted to do something special to mark Ted's birth, and a non-religious Naming Ceremony followed by a party seemed just the ticket. Being the Curbly type's that we are we wanted this to be a very handmade affair, with everything from the invitations to the cake being made with care by either...

Update: this line is now available again at Amazon! Click here to check it out! Here's the direct link to the Contempo highchair.   Friends, I come to you with bad news: Graco is discontinuing their Rittenhouse line. Like Tori Spelling, Marcia Cross and me, many of you have fallen for the classic and modern black and white toile design, the signature scheme of the line. It's really wonderful. In fact, my first post on Wee...

Finding socks that will stay on baby feet is a bit like the quest for the Holy Grail, only cuter. We've tried a few different types and brands across the price range and I think we might have finally hit on sockies that stay on. This is the problem: Sockies simply slither off, (sometimes helped along by a pookie hand or mouth) so you yank them back up again and again and again. Roughly 60...

I discovered a Web site called Mama Bargains last weekend and have been religiously checking it ever since. It's basically Woot for mamas and papas, and it's a great place for anyone having or raising children. Here's how it works: The site features "one hot item" at a time at a discount of 50 - 80% off its original retail value. You can find everything from diaper bags to strollers.  This site thrives on customer...

I have a weakness for ruffles. It's well documented and something I proudly declare. In fact, it's quite possible that the only reason I think we may be having a baby girl is that the thought of adorning her in ruffles makes me swoon. Baby, if you are a little boy, I will do my best to tone it down, but you may need to ruffle it up on occassion. I'm sorry. Now, when you...

First the Leander Cradle, As well as looking completely awesome it's Danish makers have some pretty interesting claims about the rocking of the cradle helping premature babies gain a sense of balance.
