Furry friend #Review

Our apartment complex is overrun with tame feline house pets. It didn't take long for the animal lover in me to take to becoming a cat person!
Meghan of SillyKittyCreations Etsy store sent along this $15CAD charming blue and green burp cloths trio.
Each 100% cotton flannelette front is a different yet cohesively coordinating pattern: playful kitties, alphabet fonts and gingham. 
For the back, minky textile is soft with textured raised polka dots which provide a bit of grip to stay on your shoulder and is completely comfortable. 

If sweet pastels aren't your cup of tea, this Sci-Fi burp cloth pack is a whole lot of wacky fun for a little boy!

Mat on the move #Review

BettesDaughter is a lifelong sewer who has turned to Etsy to share her craft. Custom-made at an affordable price, this is a shop I've been waiting to promote. Carmel sent me this delightfully cosmopolitan $20.96CAD baby changing mat that will be a very pretty portable necessity for the little one. When folded, it's handy size fits easily into a purse!
Outside is girly pink vine printed heavy cotton:
A decorative floral closure band covers a pink velcro simple closure:
Inside is contemporary grey and white tile patterned vinyl:
Do not put in dryer as exposure to heat might melt the waterproof plastic layer!

Handiwork for hibernating hands #Review

I've been preoccupied with real-life rather than online-life lately. Summer's slipped right by me and now we're headed into autumn! These $18.79CAD classic striped mittens with string from TillyandLola Etsy shop arrived from the UK just in time as the chill is starting to set in.
Handmade in luxurious cashmerino wool, these thumbless mittens are going to be soft snug winter-wear companions. Coral and charcoal grey colors contrast pleasingly, making the beautifully knitted stitches truly stand out.
The sturdy string strives to keep your child's fancy mittens from getting lost. Put on one mitten, route the other with the string up the coat sleeve, across the back, and down the other sleeve to reach the other hand!

On the move #Review

Moving out of an apartment in the city to an older home in the mountain-side suburbs means everyone getting accustomed to draftier conditions. 
In a timely collaborative effort, I received sophiezhappy Etsy store's best-seller silvery grey wool blend children's infinity scarf:
as well as this one in a WestCoast mix of brown, green and blue:
Sophie created this crochet pattern for her daughter. She designed the cowl in such a way that it is not cumbersome during play and cannot be easily pulled off. Priced at $18.00CAD, these twice wrapped comfortable circle scarves are made to order for each client as "mini couture crochet".

Mellow yellow #Review

Lately I've been seeking out products from other stylish mothers. With the numerous baby things available, statement choices are key for a modern mom.
Gender-neutral baby colors have progressed a long way from cringe-inducing to cool. 
This brown woodland sketch print with white minky chenille backing baby bib from Etsy store knitwhitscouture gives off a good vibe. At $10.50CAD, this an excellent quality bib that is well-priced to be well-cherished.
Bonus points to being a fellow Canadian, within country shipping generates less greenhouse gas emissions. It is always a good deed to buy from a local entrepreneur!

Animal agenda #Review

PlaidPlatypusGifts lures shoppers in with on-trend fabric selections for functional parenting accessories.


This $10.74CAD wildly metropolitan zebra print fleece blanket at 50 x 60 inches dimensions is sized large enough to serve as a baby blanket, a toddler security blanket, or an adult lap throw. Made from a single layer of material, the anti-pill micro-fleece is light weight but yet warm at the same time. 
Supple and slightly furry feeling!

Emily also offered to send me one of her biggest sellers: $9.39CAD Sneaky Peek door mufflers which works to quiet the sound of opening/closing doors. By suppressing the latch in an open position, you do not need to turn the door handle; thus allowing you to silently check on the nursery without disturbing your baby.
This foxy flannel sandwiching batting door silencer is reversible. 
Emily's patterned for perfectly lined up center placement of a whole orange fox on one side and also an entire navy fox on the other side as well.
The best thing is that Sneaky Peeks ship free with the purchase of any other item!

Teehee #Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was an iconic childhood cartoon! 
In one of TeeTurtle's shirts. 


I was so excited to see AbicoyCreations carrying these wacky characters in her summer line! 
Babies have very delicate skin, so sun protection is key especially with global warming changing the state of the climate. I joke that Vancouver is becoming the next California!
This bucket hat style provides shade coverage with it's wide brim.
All stress seams are double sewn to handle much ninja kid play.
This hat is entirely reversible between it's cowabunga print and it's solid green sides. Rhonda can customize the color for your preference.
