Sep, 09Make Tonight A Date Night
Totally stumped on what to write today, I was talking to a good friend of mine and she didn’t really know what to do on this fine Friday night. Well, with her husband having to get up early for work tomorrow and a 3 month old baby boy at home, she said she’d just hang out. Well, I thought, “Why not make it a special Date Night at home for him when he gets home?!” She liked the idea so she might rent a movie and get some sodas, popcorn, and other great snacks. Maybe you can try a At Home Date Night tonight! There’s no rule that you have to get all dressed up, get a babysitter, and go out! If you do something fun tonight, please share!

Sep, 09Willow Blanket | by Chickiedee
I call this blanket Willow. The colorful top is 100% cotton and the soft minky back is 100% polyester. It measures apox 34″ x 34″ and is great to cuddle up with. The fabric was pre-washed in perfume free and dye free detergent so there will be no funky shrinkage here! The best part of this blanket is that it’s light weight, yet super warm for those chilly months ahead. You can find it here at Chickiedee! Enjoy!

Sep, 09Colors That Inspire {Orange}
Orange is a great color to bring Fall in with, don’t you think? It’s vibrant and warm with a whole lot of pizazz! I’ve been very attracted and inspired by the color orange lately, so I thought that I’d share a few wonderful product that are drenched in this fabulous color! Enjoy!
1. This Fitted Stripe Crib Sheet at Giggle is made from 100% Organic Cotton. It’s temporarily out of stock at the moment, but you can visit Giggle and they can email you when it’s back in stock. I thought this was just too cute not to share.
2. Meet Bob. Bob is an Orange Odd Duck by Boon Inc. at Amazon. He is PVC Free and air tight to avoid trapped wather and mold growth.
3. I’m still not quite sure how I feel about glass baby bottles, but this sure looks great! This LifeFactory Wee-Go Glass Baby Bottle can be found at OompaToys.
4. This Fresco High Chair in Harvest Orange by Bloom is so sleek and modern for that baby that has everything. It can be found at CSNBaby. Best of all the seat moves to a laied back postion as well!
5. This Silicone Baby Freeze Tray is the perfect way to freeze your baby’s food in the perfect sized portions. The tray doesn’t absorb flavors and they say you can reheat the food in the same tray, but I only see this working if you have one portion left. Otherwise you’d be re-heating all fo the portions at once, right? Anyway, it’s a great idea!
6. This Skip Hop Duo Deluxe Orange Nappy\Diaper Bag is a mouthful to say, however, it’s very durible with tons of pockets! Best of all, it is a great stroller bag. It can be found at Tots n Tales. The price is pretty steep in this economy, but it’s still nice to dream.

Sep, 09Cloth Diaper Laundry Service | Eco-Baby in Colorado
My husband was telling me that a friend of ours here in Colorado uses Eco-Baby Cloth Diaper Service for all of their diaper needs. Before him telling me, I had never heard of such a service, but I’m in love with the idea! Not only are you reducing waste in landfills, but you are guaranteed that your diapers are washed thoroughly and disinfected. Best of all, you don’t actually have to do anything. Pretty sweet deal! You can even set up a registry with them.

Sep, 09It’s all in the letters…
What a fabulous idea to decorate your baby’s nursery with the alphabet in a very mature manner. The Alphabet Mural tutorial is posted at Project Nursery, so be sure to check it out! I just love the overlapping letters in the light shades of blue and they go great with the bedding. I like how this nursery looks clean, crisp, and classy.
This Baby Block Cake featured on MarthaStewart.com is a great was to celebrate the coming of a baby. All it is is a sheet cake cut into square blocks and covered in fondant. It seems a bit time consuming, but well worth the effort.
Over at the hostesswiththemostess.com, they have have a great way to celebrate a baby shower using the alphabet. Even the placeryemats have the letters of the alphabet on them! I do love how they used the pacifier as a way to hold the silverware together on each plate. Enjoy!
