I recently received a whole bundle of goodies in the mail from Princess Linens owner, Kathryn Orr, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share them with you. Whether you are looking to outfit your child for their birthday or the birth of their sibling, or you’re looking to purchase a delightful birthday or big sibling gift, Princess Linens has something for you.

Complete with personalization, check out their amazing clothing collection, which consists of Bon Bon dresses, Bon Bon John Johns, Garden Princess dresses, The Hamptons John Johns, Hand Smocking & My First Scrubs.

We had the lucky opportunity to see the My First Scrubs first hand, and it is just the sweetest little “uniform”. Alex loves to parade around the house in his Scrubs & they are super comfy for nap time! My first Scrubs make a fabulous outfit for the new big brother or sister to wear to the hospital to meet their little sibling, and they are also perfect for children of doctors, nurses, veterinarians & other scrub-wearing pro’s, to pretend they are like mom & dad. When personalized with your child’s name, it will read “Dr. Alexander” which makes it that much more fun!

Potatoes? Really? “YES! We really do use potatoes to make each design.” That’s the answer to the question this company hears all the time!

What a concept: potato stamping on clothing=unique, absolutely delightful designs! I’ve never heard of such a thing until now, but I’m so glad one of our girlfriends mentioned Potato Playground products and I can not wait to share this clever clothing line with you!

Talk about unique! The ladies who run this fabulous business of potato stamping are just moms with playful minds, playful hearts, and the desire to make simple designs on clothing that CAN be worn on the playground; go ahead, get dirty! Each shirt design will be different from the next, even if both designs are whales, whale #2 will have a slightly different texture look due to the difference from one potato two potato. Basically, each product at Potato Playground is one-of-a-kind!

We were lucky and thrilled to receive an adorable whale onesie from Potato Playground. Seeing the print up close is so cool! To think, a potato painted that! So so cool! And of course, all their clothing is made from 100% cotton material and completely washable.  Shirts and pants, make an outfit that will be admired by all those jealous kids…and moms!

Take a generous 15% off your entire order at Potato Playground with the code ourfriends.

As a mom of two boys, I’ve never really gotten into the whole “boutique” clothing trend. Never a fan of Jon-Jon’s or monogrammed bubble romper’s for my boys; I am proud to outfit my boys in more rugged wear, made to stand up to my rough and tough boys that wear them.

However, my entire mindset changed when we were approached by one fabulous hand-made boutique; Hand Picked Pumpkin! What is so great about Hand Picked Pumpkin? Well, like yesterday’s post, it is designed with you, the “creatively-challenged” mom { and gift-giver} in mind!

Choose from many custom-designed or ready-made outfit combinations, all made with a select handful of perfectly coordinated color swatches. I actually did some cute custom-designed shorts & a ready-made top, which matches perfectly {Alex’s outfit is almost identical to the one shown below}. Let me just say this: custom designing is addictive! Choose your garment, size {up to 24 months} interlocking fabric color, and several different trim options, right down to the flap on the back pocket & the snaps on the overalls.

My package arrived wrapped like a present - what a joy to open, and so perfect for a new baby gift! After weekly washing & wearing for over a month now, the little shorts set we have is still in perfect condition. The material is so soft & forgiving to my little busy-body’s high level of activity & he looks downright adorable in it!

Handpicked Pumpkin also offers a fun twist on the usual playdate, moms night out or baby shower: trunk shows!  Show off the amazing designs & let your guests have fun customizing something special.  Hostess’s earn discounts too!  Check out the site for more details.

Handpicked Pumpkin is offering a generous 15% discount to BabyLuxe readers through the end of July, just by entering the code “BabyLuxe” at checkout! 

“Once upon another time Empress Si Ling Chi
discovered silk while sitting under her palace’s mulberry tree.
As she sat sipping she was startled to look up —
A cocoon fell from the branches to her hot tea cup!
And as she watched, a strong thread unraveled itself —
Five thousand years of legend, timeless beauty weaved to sell.”

Luxurious! Only one word comes to mind as I try to express the absolute beauty of the a b sea clothing line!

a b sea turns silk blended fabrics into manageable, precious clothing for the little ones! Founder and co-founder, {daugther and mother duo} Alexis and Rene, took their love of the beach and the sea and created “luxurious” {I will use this word over and over again on this feature} wearable “sand-castle” clothing. With their sand-castle logo on the back and adorable embroidered designs on the front, these outfits will wrap baby in the finest, most comfortable {natural, organic} material, and please mommy with no dry cleaning care!

The pictures do not do this clothing line justice!  I was in awe when I first opened the package we received from a b sea.  Again, beyond luxurious, beyond adorable, but so completely wearable!  These clothes are perfect for anything from professional photo shoots to nap time!  If you are looking for that one piece of clothing or outfit for your child’s wardrobe to cherish and pass down from child to child, look no further!

Enjoy 10% off your entire order at a b sea with the code LUXE, expires August 1st. 

One popular company stands out when it comes to “innovation” in the world of modern children’s products.  Now this company has taken the next step to add innovative features to their new line of layette, not to mention some fresh, adorable designs!

 Boon Inc. products are made to focus on the needs and wants of the modern parent.  Their clothing line is no different!  Where else can you find a bib that attaches to the bodysuit with hidden snaps or a drool patch that attaches with hidden Velcro fasteners?  What about a burp cloth that contours to your neck for full coverage, less mess on mommy!  And my favorite feature {since I’m changing I think 100 diapers a day now}, a unique coverall with a front waistline opening for faster diaper changing!

If the special features are not enough, all of Boon Inc.’s adorable pieces are made in trendy, colorful designs and comfortable, washer/dryer friendly, 100% cotton material.   And all are package in a reusable storage container.  We received the 2 piece body suit set {since it’s too hot for clothing down in the South lately, my newborn is living in bodysuits}, and I have used the reusable packaging to actually hold all the amazing congratulation cards we’ve received over the past couples weeks.

Bodysuits, coveralls, rompers, pant sets, Boon Inc. has done it again with another innovative design!  Purchases can be made at Amazon.com or BabiesRUs.com.

Thank you to Boon Inc. for their Mother’s Day donation last month!

Well, summer’s about here & it’s time to protect your kids from the earth’s harmful elements. Yes, the sun! Like myself, my older son’s eyes are so sensitive to the sunlight, getting him sunglasses was a no-brainer. Then when I read this, it became clear that there was only one choice for baby shades!

Maybe you don’t have time to go over and read the imperative information on the Baby Banz site - so I’ll give it to you straight up here, taken directly from their site:

“Until approx 8-9 yrs old a child has no filters in the eye to block out UV light. You can actually do MORE harm to the eye if you put an inferior lens in front of the eye! Behind tinted lenses, the iris opens to allow more light into the eye; if the lens doesn’t protect properly, and more UV light gets into the eye potentially damaging the child’s eye.“

Often imitated, but never duplicated, Baby Banz are the standard for baby & children’s sunglasses and UV protection, with 100% protection against UVA & UVB rays. With a unique wrap-around design that is not only comfortable, but also practical {and adorable}, the glasses will stay snuggly on your baby’s face all day so you can spend your days enjoying the warmth, and not worrying about her precious eyes. For those who wear prescription glasses, Baby Banz are also RX-able!

So never mind those cute & fashionable sunglasses made to match all of your little ones’ adorable sundresses & swim trunks; go for safety & practicality instead, and get your baby some Baby Banz this summer! They come in a ton of colors & styles, with something for everyone! Baby Banz also makes UV protection hats, swimwear, new Wrapz Bandanas {shown below} & several other great accessories.

And just for you, SAVE 10% from now through June 30th with the code “BLD08″!

Toddler clothing that is durable; yet unique; yet cute and fun; can be extremely hard to come by these days.  It seems you see the same old styles on kids everywhere {especially when it comes to play clothes}; as you don’t want to ruin those special little outfits, save those for church and tea parties right?  Not with Jasper Hearts Wren; modern play clothes.

With some of the best unique designs and creative styles I have seen in a long time, Jasper Hearts Wren’s clothing line is perfect for looking your best while getting dirty!  Sure these items would be great for those special events as well {especially a photo shoot}, but our Jasper Hearts Wren  rocket tee for my 2 year old looks best on an active little boy swinging at the playground! 

Made to last and made to be different, one piece of this clothing line will add a dramatic “playful” touch to your child’s wardrobe.  From infant to elementary sizes, from felt designs to screen prints, the entire Jasper Hearts Wren collection stands out among others.  Spring and Summer, the best two playtime seasons of the year; isn’t it the perfect time to update your child’s play clothes!
