Fawn&Forest recently introduced Amenity’s latest collection of serene forest life for the nursery. Think wetlands, nature preserves and modern Bambi. Amenity’s sweet organic pillows, blankets, bedding and prints provide a soothing escape from primary colored, battery operated toys and flashing lights. Charming descriptions also make them that much more lovable…

The Woodland Collection “Among the violet wildflowers, whimsical squirrels scamper after acorns and butterflies. Their playful smiles are sure to be contagious.”

The Wetlands Collection “At the watery edges of the ocean, a blue pool warmed by the sun and surrounded by reeds is the most natural habitat for a young family of ducks out for their first swim.”

On our way back from Lake Tahoe we made a pit stop in the cute college town of Davis to grab a bite and tire the little tikes out in an attempt to achieve some road peace for the remainder of the drive back to San Francisco. I was delighted to discover the cutest little t-shirt shop ever! It’s called nina and tom, a husband and wife team who are all about creating handmade shirts and baby onesies with original, bold and lively designs and phrases. Nina says, “We believe in having your child wear a t-shirt that is as unique and fun as they are. We believe that nina and tom baby onesies, kids and adult t-shirts are more than just t-shirts, they are truly something special.”  

Nina and Tom share a passion for the environment and all their shirts are made in the USA from 100% cotton. These guys are so cool they were even featured in the book Gorgeously Green, written by Sophie Uliano with a forward by Julia Roberts. I purchased the “I’m Like Totally Organic” tee for my daughter and it was a smash hit at preschool this week. Other favorites of mine are the “ABCs” organic tee and the “I’m this many” birthday shirt. Lots to love so check them out and maybe you will want to pick up an adult tee like the “This Mama is For Obama” (Or not, we at PN steer clear of politics and just stick to design). Because they have such positive, feel-good messages and a care for the environment, it makes spending just 20 bucks on a shirt feel like a good deed.

Imagine this scenario: You and the family are at that cute and cozy neighborhood spot for Sunday brunch. You’ve got new baby in tow who is soundly sleeping to the tune of a noisy restaurant. Your delicious eggs arrive when out of nowhere feeding time has arrived and baby is letting you and the entire restaurant know. You look at your watch and quickly realize baby ain’t waiting. That’s when you whip out your trusty and stylish Bebe au Lait nursing cover, slip it around your neck and without skipping a beat, latch that baby on. Now back to those eggs…

All nursing moms have experienced a stressful public nursing situation and many choose to just stay at home during feeding times. That’s exactly why mother of two daughters, Claire Ekelund created the Bebe au Lait nursing cover. A discreet and fashionable way to keep the goods private when nursing in public (take that Barbara Walters!). Recently, Bebe au Lait has expanded their line of nursing covers ($35) offering more bold and stylish patterns. We are loving the new “Shrine” Print. Available in both aqua and pink, the colorful tonal geometric print is sweet and stylish.  

All fabrics are hand-selected, 100% cotton with terry pocket detail for quick cleanup and storage. Machine washable (of course, can you imagine?) and their unique structured neckline allows for ventilation and eye contact during feeding. Also, they have come out with a line of 100% certified organic fabrics called Simple in savvy solid colors for the eco-concious yet still chic mom. A great new mom gift and with such fabulous color and print options, a nursing mom can have one for each day of the week…
