Coccoli: Sweet and Comfy Play Clothes http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/coccoli-sweet-and-comfy-play-clothes/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/coccoli-sweet-and-comfy-play-clothes/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 12:57:01 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=143

Coccoli’s baby clothes are made from soft organic cotton with contemporary style and unbelievable quality. I love the above Organic Skirted Leaf Onesie and the below Organic Skirted Swirl Onesie. Baby girls will look sweet while staying cool and feeling comfortable enough to crawl and explore on the warmest days. (And we’ve been having a lot of those lately!)

For the boys, Coccoli’s organic shorts rompers are perfect for hot days. I love the below Organic Leaf Shorts Romper and Organic Modern Tank Romper with soft colors and modern shapes. Shop our Coccoli collection and see more organic rompers, skirted onesies, pajamas and short sets.

Playful Gardening Toys from Melissa and Doug http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/playful-gardening-toys-from-melissa-and-doug/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/playful-gardening-toys-from-melissa-and-doug/#comments Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:59:58 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=142

Melissa and Doug’s gardening toys from their Sunny Patch Collection are designed to inspire kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors with a playful, creative spirit. Every item is so unbelievably charming and I can imagine my three-year-old becoming very attached to each one. Why play outside with just any watering can when you can have one that looks like a bee with a flower for a nose? And if you’re going to catch butterflies, shouldn’t your butterfly catcher be pink, green and yellow?

To get your little gardener ready for his or her new hobby, the Blossom Bright Tote Set and Tootle Turtle Tote Set is so much fun. Each set includes gardening tools that are safe and just the right size and a whimsical bag to carry them in.

The Bibi Bee Watering Can is fun for the garden, pool, bath tub, sandbox and beach with its flower nose and easy to hold handle.

The Belia Butterfly Net is so sweet, your little explorer will enjoy chasing butterflies, fireflies, flies, fairies and who knows who or what else she will catch!

Your little girl will love carrying her treasures in the Belia Butterfly Tote. Get ready for some outdoor adventures with your kids this summer and outfit them with some fun tools to make the games even more fun! Shop our Melissa and Doug Sunny Patch collection here.

My Timi and Leslie Diaper Bag is Cooler than Me http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/my-timi-and-leslie-diaper-bag-is-cooler-than-me/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/my-timi-and-leslie-diaper-bag-is-cooler-than-me/#comments Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:36:28 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=138

My diaper bag is cooler than me. I don’t mind saying this. I carry my Timi & Leslie bag even on days I don’t need a diaper bag. It makes my jeans and t-shirts look much more pulled together (and I almost forget about the baby food stains). I’m partial to the Hannah Diaper Bag, which is available in bronze or pewter with brass hardware. Both colors look fabulous year round, but just picture them with sandals and tank tops. These bags make me look very cool. (At least I feel cool and that’s what matters, right?)

Timi & Leslie’s diaper bags include an insulated bottle tote, stroller straps, removable shoulder strap, changing pad, wristlet (that’s nice enough to double as an evening bag), waterproof lining, lots of handy pockets and all bags are PVC free. The Hannah Diaper Bag is roomy enough for everything I need, but is still very light and comfortable to carry all day. And it makes me feel pulled together, baby food smudges and all! Timi & Leslie has a lot of fabulous styles. Check them out here.

Momma and Baby Giraffes by Egg by Susan Lazar http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/momma-and-baby-giraffes-by-egg-by-susan-lazar/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/momma-and-baby-giraffes-by-egg-by-susan-lazar/#comments Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:33:04 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=141

Lavender momma and baby giraffes pop against a navy background on this dress and top by egg by Susan Lazar. The sophisticated colors and playful giraffe motif along with egg’s beautiful fit and soft fabrics create the ideal summer bubble onesie and top for special occasions or for every day. The lightweight Giraffe Ruffle Top has ruffle sleeves, a ruffle down the front and sweet navy buttons. Just imagine it with jeans or shorts. Too cute! The Giraffe Summer Jumper looks even better in person and is easily a favorite summer outfit. Both are 100% cotton. See all egg by Susan Lazar here.

Stunning New Aden + Anais Bamboo Swaddling Blankets http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/stunning-new-aden-anais-bamboo-swaddling-blankets/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/stunning-new-aden-anais-bamboo-swaddling-blankets/#comments Fri, 02 Jul 2010 01:20:22 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=137

What could possibly make Aden + Anais swaddling blankets any better? These gorgeous prints! When my girls were infants, I always had an Aden + Anais blanket in my bag and if they were still infants, I would be all over these new prints! Aden + Anais’ new bamboo blankets are softer than ever and the breathable fabric allows baby’s body temperature to regulate naturally, so you don’t have to worry about over heating. (And, I know, you don’t need another thing to worry about!) The size is perfect for swaddling (47 x 47) and can also be used as a nursing cover, for diaper changes, covering your stroller for nap time, you name it. Three blankets come per package. Find the new style here and see all Aden + Anais products here.

Scout Organics: Playful, Comfortable Style http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/scout-organics-playful-comfortable-style/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/scout-organics-playful-comfortable-style/#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:25:43 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=139

Scout Organics always impresses me with their sophisticated colors, bold, graphic images and soft, organic cotton. This Organic Tiered Dress is perfect for picnics in the park, playground play dates, brunch with Grandma and any summer activity. The best part is the dress is as comfy at a t-shirt! Available in sizes 12 months - 4T.

For boys, I love the Organic Smiling Monkey Tee with hilarious and adorable monkey applique and teal and green stripes. (Do you remember Fruit Strip gum?) Available in sizes 12 months - 4T. Also available as a bodysuit for the smaller tyke (0-12 months). Pair with Scout Explore Shorts in teal for a fun, playful outfit that’s perfect all summer. Shorts available in sizes 0-4T.

We love to shop (surprise, surprise!), and when we do we prefer to shop at mom-owned stores and purchase mom-created products whenever possible. Even better is when they are owned/created by WhatEveryBabyNeeds.com customers!

We will begin highlighting our favorites so you can learn about these great boutique brands, and hopefully love them as much as we do! Are you a mom-owned shop and shop with us? Let us know and we will feature you too!

When we saw this link at the bottom of a customer email, we just had to click and are so glad we did! We immediately fell in love with these great looking and versatile canvas bags from this mom-owned company. My favorite is the Basketweave Getaway Bag in Nantucket! Even better? They have generously given us a coupon code for 25% off their site, good till July 31st: BABYNEEDS25 at www.SaltboxNYC.com Thanks, Nicole!

Another favorite is the Icy Pop Treat Cozy from Mom of 3, Lizzie Sorensen! This ingenious idea is perfect for the summer months and will keep little hands warm while pushing up on their favorite treats. Reusable, the felt stays dry and wicks moisture, while looking super cool! Buy them at LunaLou.com

Art Smocks from 3 Sprouts http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/art-smocks-from-3-sprouts/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/art-smocks-from-3-sprouts/#comments Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:05:36 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=136

When Charlotte is in a creative mood, she’s also in the mood to be messy! We have the Green Frog Art Smock by 3 Sprouts and Charlotte will wear it for just about anything: for painting, pretend cooking, helping me bake and just because. I love the fun, contemporary style of the smock, the adorable felt applique frog and bright green color. Charlotte loves that she can put it on by herself. The smock has pockets for art supplies, cooking supplies or, in Charlotte’s case, her favorite Fisher-Price Little People. Made from non-toxic PEVA and recycled nylon, the 3 Sprouts Art Smocks are eco-friendly and durable. For ages 2-5. The 3 Sprouts Art Smock is also available in purple with a cow.

Stay Safe and Look Cool with Snapper Rock Swimwear http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/stay-safe-and-look-cool-with-snapper-rock-swimwear/ http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/stay-safe-and-look-cool-with-snapper-rock-swimwear/#comments Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:02:12 +0000 Elizabeth Leach http://site.whateverybabyneeds.com/blog/?p=135

I am so excited to take my girls to our neighborhood pool this summer. I plan on keeping them safe from the sun while taking tons of pictures of them looking sweet and stylish. Snapper Rock’s UV50+ swimwear blocks 98% of UV radiation, so you don’t need to worry about applying as much sunscreen as usual. I love the surfer vibe and vibrant colors.

The above UV50+ Swim Top and Short Set is available in sizes 6 months - 4 years and in several different colors. I love dressing my girls in swim shirts because they protect so much more than a regular bathing suit. These ones are so cute!

The Snapper Rock Boys Swim Shorts are available in sizes 6 months - 6 years and are ultra cool with fresh colors and hip patterns. Match them with Snapper Rock Short Sleeve Swim Top and UV50+ Bucket Hat.

Snapper Rock offers a huge selection of styles of one pieces, short and long sleeve swim tops, board shorts for boys and girls, swim sets and coordinating bucket hats. They all mix and match brilliantly and I just love that surfer vibe! Snapper Rock Swimwear has no chemical coatings, lead, phthalates or any harmful materials. Have fun in the sun and stay protected!
