Designer baby & kids clothes: buttery soft dresses, and whimsical fairy tanks

When you shop Baby Eggi, you not only get amazing designer clothing for your little ‘chick’ or ‘dude’, but you also get incredible quality and best of all it’s affordable.    Founders, and parents themselves, Jennifer and Julie are well
aware of the need as parents to dress our children in fashionable, high
quality clothing that is affordable priced.  Who would have thought?  They accomplished both with their line of baby and children’s clothing.   Several of the tees and tanks feature the artwork of famed LA based tattoo artist and father of two, Mark Mahoney, making them truly unique.

The ribbed tank for ‘chicks’ has a whimsical fairy on it while the ‘dudes’ tee’s have designs including dragons, tigers, and tattoo style lettering saying "Forgive Me".  How funny is that?

Madelyn is wearing the fairy ribbed tank and the hooded dress below.

Baby Eggi’s hooded dress is buttery soft.  The first time Madelyn wore the hooded dress, she twirled around and rubbed the dress against her tummy with a huge smile.  It was adorable! 

The hooded dress is $20 and the ribbed fairy tank is $10!! You’ve got to stock up on these.  You can get a pack of seven ‘Days of the week’ onesie’s for $28.  I just can’t get over the price for such cute and quality clothes.  Most of the shirts, dresses, and tanks are available in two or more colors and sizes up to 4T.

biome5: organic clothes for kids

I dont’ know how many times I have refered to Madelyn as a little monkey.   We had to get her out of her crib before she turned one because she tried to climb out of it.  She climbs as high as she possibly can in any given situation.

I was excited when I received a cute biome5 Monkey tee for Madelyn because it describes her perfectly.   And as if cute isn’t enough, biome5 tee’s are educational.  Shh, don’t tell your toddler.  How can a tee be educational you ask?  On each shirt, a huge letter is printed with an animal whose name starts with the letter.   The M tee has a cute monkey on it while the Z tee has .. I bet you can guess.. a zebra.  The colors are vibrant and on most designs, the animal printed on the tee looks like a photographed image making the animal easy to recognize.  You child has probably seen most of the animals at the zoo, aquarium, or in your own backyard.

Biome5

Tee’s are available in 2T, 4T, and 6T short sleeve and long sleeve and the onesie is available in 3-6 months and 6-12 months sizes.  All of the designs are gender neutral so you are not limited to the number of tee’s or onesies you buy for your child.

Oh, and what’s really neat is that the name of the animal on the shirt is printed upside down so your child can read it while wearing the tee.  That is such a cool idea!  biome5 tee’s give toddlers the opportunity to work on learning the alphabet and phonetics while wearing an awesome tee.

Playskool Cottony Cloths

PlayskoolcottonyclothsOver the years, I learned that even soft little toddler faces can turn into what looks like a cafeteria food fight broke out with the toddler right in the middle of the action and that it takes a lot of patience and wiping to get such a tiny face clean.

Made with real cotton and available exclusively at C
VS/pharmacy and online at
cvs.com, Playskool Cottony Cloths are a must have for parents; especially when traveling whether by car, plane or train. 
Cottony Cloths are available in a few different sizes including a
convenient travel size with 16 cloths which is what we used on our recent summer vacation road trip.

I used to pack a wet washcloth in a sandwich bag to use on the kids hands, faces, and clothes after snack time in the car.  What was kind of yucky about using a wet washcloth is that I had to use the same washcloth over and over which got pretty gross after one or two wipe downs.

I used Playskool Cottony Cloths while on our recent road trip and was thrilled to be able to use a clean cloth each time I needed to wipe the left over snack off of Madelyn’s face, hands, and clothes.  I was also very pleased to learn that one Cottony Cloth goes a long way.  Because they are so thick I was able to use one cloth per wipe down session as opposed to the several thin wipes I used to use before I switched to the wet washcloth method.

Scootababy – a sling that holds my two year old

VerticalgoodishMadelyn is a very attached child and has been since she was an infant.  As a matter of fact, as I am sitting here typing this, she has half of her body on me as if to say "don’t even think about moving mom".   I’m sure a lot of it has to do with me holding her 24/7 for the first few months of her life, but now that she is older (2), it is really difficult to hold her and carry Scootababysmallher for more than a few minutes without feeling pain in my back (previous car accident issues). 

Until recently I thought that baby carriers were just for small babies under a year old.  That was until I learned about Scootababy Baby Carriers which hold babies up to 40 lbs.  Both Madelyn and I find the Scootababy to be comfortable for long periods of time and I am really pleased with how easy it is to put on and take off.   The custom built buckles make for easy adjusting with one hand while Madelyn is in the carrier. The front, back and waist straps can be adjusted so the carrier will fit on a wide range of body sizes.  I have worn Madelyn in the Scootababy while cleaning and was nervous that she was going to fall out when I bent down to pick something up or empty the dishwasher, but she was secure in the Scootababy and she hasn’t slipped out yet!

The Scootababy is easy on your back, stylish, durable, sturdy, and safe.

The Scootababy can be machine washed and dried but it is best to spot clean and air dry it when possible.
