Modern parents are so lucky to have aesthetically pleasing and functional tools to help make days with a baby a lot easier.
Babbaco’s “Airy Cotton Cover” (pictured left and available in a number or prints) is one thing that will be a must have this summer for any infant because the mesh allows air to circulate, preventing overheating while keeping bugs out and away from baby. For wintertime, be sure to get the fleece cover and a bundleme my jj cole to keep you little one nice and toasty!
Take a look at our other favorites in the box below. Our absolute favorite yet simple accessory is the pair of stroller hooks by ‘Think King’. We found them at Bye Bye Baby for the best price point (only $14.99!) :
Just so you know, I absolutely LOVE your BeepBeep
car seat cover!
Before buying your “simple, functional, and super cute” design, I had to get creative with an upside down Bugaboo canopy cover and a blanket pinned with a brooch to make sure my baby’s blanket wouldn’t blow away in the wind!
While that option did the job, it was not as easy as your one piece design!
Super cute designs like this are a must for moms who want the best quality for their child while not having to compromise fashion as well!
Another thing, I’m not the only one who loves your design. I’ve only been out with it about 4 times so far and got stopped store after store by other people who wanted to know where they could get one too! So… I’ll be blogging this letter instead of e-mailing it.
Cheers to Babbaco
! You’ve got a great thing here! Keep great designs coming!

Bumble Bags are originally designed diaper bags that are created using their “one of a kind” hand designed prints combined with water and stain resistant fabrics that make their products lightweight, durable, and fashionable!
Our favorite from The Bumble Collection is the ever so spacious, Natalie bag (pictured left) which is perfect for moms with multiple children or mothers of singles who still want to be able to carry all the stuff they used to!

The Bumble Collection’s Queen Bee diaper bag is indeed the best bag on the market right now because it works for all stylish women (not just mommies!). It is functional and beautifully designed making it so stylish that it can be used by women without kids who are looking for the ultimate overnight/carry-on bag for traveling.
It’s a perfect size measuring at 13 x 13 x 6 with loads of pockets inside and out. Our favorite part of the bag is the adorable removable front clutch with detachable shoulder strap so you can leave the baby’s things (or luggage if using it as an overnighter or carry-on) behind in a snap!
This bag does not compromise function for fashion with exterior features such as the water resistant, full Italian cowhide leather, and 18k gold-plated signature hardware for a rust free easy pull!
The spacious interior features soil-proof lining, snaphook for keys, two bottle pockets, and two zipper pockets.
The only con is that the $300 price point might be out of budget for some women but we say it’s a great investment. Consider the fact that you will be using this bag every single day for the next few years:

“We make the best children’s clothes in the world. Our philosophy has not changed since our first striped T-shirt. We believe in good looking clothes that let children be children. Clothes should withstand wear-and-tear and become part of your family; from brother to sister, cousin to cousin.
This commitment to quality, design and functionality guided us from our humble beginnings in Stockholm to more than 100 stores across Europe. Since 1976, we’ve learned that Swedish families are not the only ones who appreciate our approach to children’s clothing.”

Cupcakes & Pastries clothing debuted a summer collection of lovely frocks for little girls (ages 1 to 8 years) who love their tea parties where tea, cookies, candies and cupcakes & pastries are served. The line features sweet silhouettes and fabulous fabrics that will have your little girls loving their fancy styles day by day.
The creative talent behind the brand is Inshi Khanna, mother of a now 2 year old girl.
Khanna says, “Initially, the dresses were created with my daughter in mind, and after seeing how adorable the dresses turned out, we (my husband and I) knew we would introduce them to the market. The collection immediately received an amazing response from many of the finest retailers throughout the country and and thus, provided enough validation.”
See our favorites below:
Select styles will be available at LMNOP, 2570 North Lincoln Avenue, at Wrightwood Street (773-975-4055); Stinky Pants, 844 West Armitage Avenue, at Sheffield Street (773-281-4002).
