You didn't think we'd forget little ones in our 2015 Valentine's Gift Guide did you? While of course we dig all the romance of the day, we also can't resist showering babies with love, which is why we put together this list of 16 Valenti…
If you didn't get a chance to snag one of the aden + anais and (RED) swaddle blankets that support The Global Fund earlier this year, you're still in luck. You can treat a baby you love --while you help other babies--with this brand new …
This time last year, our kids were all about foxes , probably because The Song That Will Not Be Mentioned was playing on repeat in our homes. While woodland animals are still a favorite with my kids, I'm noticing one animal obsession ris…
When I finally figured out how to get my babies in a good, tight swaddle, it changed my life. My night life, at least, because mama finally got to sleep. So I mean it when I say a good swaddling blanket makes all the difference in the wo…
I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for nice baby blankets -- which is why you see a lot of them around here. Especially handmade ones. I mean, what's more sweet than wrapping your little newborn up in a soft bundle that's one-of-a-…
We've loved the cool indie designs at Society6 on everything from art prints to gadget cases for a long time. So we were pretty stoked to discover that those gorgeous designs are now king-sized. As duvet covers , that is. And yes, queen …
Muslin blankets are among my most beloved baby items. They're so perfect for swaddling, shading and about a thousand other baby-friendly things, too--as all of us have been preaching for years. When my kids were babies my favorite muslin…
True story: when my daughter was born in 2006, I struggled to find a stroller blanket that wasn't either pink butterflies or blue trains. I basically taught myself to sew just so I could make a black blanket with flame-printed fleece. So…
When it comes to charities helping moms and babies, I'm crazy supportive of (RED) , a division of The ONE Campaign. Actually, we all are around here. Over the years, they've raised millions to bring life-saving anti-retroviral drugs to H…
At the moment I am sitting on the couch in front of a roasty fire. There's snow outside, Sarah McLaughlin is on in the background (guilty pleasure, don't judge), and I'm draped in my new Aden + Anais Bamboo Daydream Blanket . You guys, t…
Whether you know a pregnant typography geek who's starting to look like an uppercase B, or even a grandmother who asks you to call more often to say hi, this luxe, and very amicable blanket is the perfect way to greet her on Mother's Day…
My 5-year-old showed almost zero percent interest in maps until we went on vacation to a beach town. Suddenly, it was very important that she be the holder of the map at all times. It was ultimately a good thing, even if said map ended u…
There's always been so much controversy about crib bumper safety. Even so, when my first son was a baby, I always longed for a bumper. They looked so cool in the crib and added that extra bit of style to the nursery. However since 2010 w…
I'm from small-town Iowa, so when my daughter was born, the Quilting Ladies (as they are known) whipped up something custom, no problem. I didn't even have to ask. But fear not, Quilting Lady-less mamas, for Etsy has delivered once again…

I've noticed this odd thing about lovies and security blankets -- the kids never like the ones I like. If it's soft, even if it's ugly, they dig it. Go figure. But in the case of the fleece Mini Miette baby lovie from the luxury eco-cons…
I'm the woefully unprepared mom at my daughter's soccer games -- the one who's sitting directly on the itchy grass (and who will probably forget to brush the grass off her rear end when she stands up). So I was practically giddy when I d…
It's so nice these days that a modern mama has more choices when it comes to nursery bedding and accessories-- even more so than I did nearly (eep) four years ago when I became a parent. And with the proliferation of all this great mod d…
Blankets Kristen : The blanket we have from Ellabalou is a favorite of both my children. In fact, I should probably grab a second one and make my life incredibly easier. Liz: Hooray for Martha of Blankets by Martha , who makes funky lovi…
