Ohh Baby - Day 4 to 6

Well...so much for that hey? Today is attempt at catch up - yet again!

When I saw the books by Ian Falconer named Olivia, about a colorful little pig I knew they would be a hit in our house. Not only does the feature character have the same name as Liv but the illustration and the stories are delightful! I only wish I could find more! My only fear is that Liv will think she is a pig...I know I know, silly momma!


You can check out the range of Olivia books here.


I had bought these slippers by Padraig for Liv in baby size and had comments on them everywhere. They were great as they stayed on her feet. They were warm for winter and cool for spring. They even wash up great! I need to go purchase the next size up!


They are all natural and Canadian made! How can you go wrong!


And finally to bring todays post to an end The Angel Brush. I have actually bought about 4 of these! They are great for teething and for ofcourse for brushing your infants teeth and gums. They are soft and rubbery and easy for little ones to handle. And you can freeze it for when they are teething.

Ohh Baby - Day 3

I am a bit behind aren't I? Three to be exact. So today is catch up day to get us back to where I should be! :)


First of all we bought these bottles by Green to Grow with the scare of BPA and Phthalates being in baby bottles. And we love them! They were so easy for Liv to change to. I must admit we were using glass bottles before - but they can be so heavy to lug around. I love the design with the little berry on the front and the fact is they are super easy to clean! I also loved the packaging the bottles came in - so cute! It was like a little milk carton. The more I learned about this company the happier I am that I purchased these bottles - such as the bottles to babies program.

Ohh Baby - Day 2

I LOVE the Splash bottle drying rack from Skip*Hop. So fabulous! We received it as a shower gift as well. We love how it keeps the bottles, rings, nipples and the brush all contained. It easily comes apart to clean and it is fairly compact.


Even if you don't have it full of bottles, its still looks like a piece of art! The designer in me says it has both form and function! Sweet.

Ohh Baby!

There is a baby shower coming up for us to attend and that got me thinking. What were the items I received that I loved? So the plan is to post for the next ten days coming up to the shower an item a day!

Today is day one! So here we go!


We received this wonderful mobile for Liv at her shower. Its by Tiny Love. It plays music with the best quality we have heard on any baby product so far! The animals are cute and colorful but modern enough they would easily fit into a modern nursery. Its easy to put together and now that Liv is too old to have the mobile hanging we have left the music player on her crib. She turns it on and loves the music.

Guest Artist

Well lucky me! I have been asked to be a guest artist again for a very special calendar! I get to work on a piece of art for one of the months in the vrse charity calendar. The wonderful girls at vrse asked me last year and again this year and of course I couldn't say no. How could I resist the temptation to pull out the paints! I will post the progress of the work as I go! So you may be lucky to get a sneak peak - if Jess and Joanne don't mind!

I hope all of you will order one and support a worthy cause!

Kirtsy

Well many of you may or may not know about Kirtsy. The site was formerly known as Sk*rt. Its a great site, co-created by lovely Gabrielle Blair of Design Mom fame. I LUV Design mom. All you moms should check out her blog. Beautiful stuff as well as great giveaways!

Kirtsy is great too! Its a place where everyone can post and share ideas on just about anything! I suggest you go explore!

Happy Mothers Day

Well time has flown by as usually. Not getting time to post as I had hoped. But Liv is walking with confidence, which is nice. Much has gone on in our little world in the last few weeks. An engagement (congrats cous!), an announcement of a baby coming (no-not me but a friend-congrats to you too!) and a one year olds birthday party.

And that brings me to today. Mothers day a day to thank those who brought us into the world and raised us to be the people that we are. The day seems to mean so much more when you are a mom too. Today I reflect on how my mom has helped me to become the person I am. The qualities she has that I hope to learn. I hope someday that Liv feels as honored to have me as a mom as I feel with my mom.

Thanks mom for being the best! I love you tons! Happy Mothers Day!

Oh and we shouldn't forget Grandmothers too! Love you Granny! You are the mortar that holds this family together!
