There are an unbelievable products out there now from pregnancy and beyond! The pure imagination and creativity of parents and quite simply people’s love of babies have created products that we just can’t imagine life without now.
I’ve picked out a few sellers that carry items that I would have loved to have used when I was pregnant (maybe for the next one?!).
The first one is a seller on Etsy called 
Jellybean Apparel. Maternity themed clothing for the entire family! That’s right… even dad!! My personal fave…
Check out her store: JellybeanApparel.etsy.com
My next fave is for the baby shower. My mom wanted to make me one of these for my shower and quickly
gave up – too bad she didn’t know about Simply Delicious Diaper Cakes! We knew we were having a girl so this would’ve been perfect!
The “Princess” on the front is a wooden wall hanging! How funky is that?
Here’s her store: http://stores.ebay.ca/Simply-Delicious-Diaper-Cakes
My next choice is for the pregnant mom. Everything she gets (including birthday presents – trust me on this one) is “for the baby”. As great as that is and as cute as the stuff is, mom’s feet are ballooning at a rapid rate, she farts when it’s the most inappropriate times (not her fault) and hasn’t slept in weeks. Why not give HER something to make her feel that little bit better? My new fave (if I could eat it, I WOULD!) is Cozy Moments body frosting! One of the very sweetest sellers that you could ever meet and one of the best products EVER! Extremely reasonable prices AND a 
massive selection that no mom could say no to.
The crazy part is that she and her husband hand make all of their products in their own home!
Her shop is: CozyMoments.etsy.com
So now you’re designing the baby’s room. So many people now are personalizing the baby’s room with those kits that have all of the bedding, lamps, wallpaper etc. to match with a safari, cowboy or princess type of theme. I found a lovely lady who can create a wall decoration to your specifications. Your child’s name, in your color theme, a favorite quote or whatever you can imagine. I had her make up this one for my daughter’s room: 
She made it a beautiful off-white to go on my daughter’s chocolate brown walls (with pink and off-white accents). I know… SO cute! Dr. Seuss and his wisdom will live forever. Her store is: ScribbleIt.etsy.com
Let’s just jump right into the baby clothes because, let’s face it, they’re friggin cute. I SO wish I had the money to buy my daughter a ton of these but her grandma works right beside a children’s clothing store and she’s a little obsessed so needless to say, I don’t need any more clothes. But I’ve been staring at these for a
while now and need to share them with you. She makes tutus for babies! I personally love this one…
Couldn’t you just die???
Her store is: knottybabywear.etsy.com
I bought two pairs of these shoes for my little girl and absolutely love them! The shoelaces on the converse booties were great because she couldn’t kick them off but let’s face it… I bought them because they are cute! She’s even got fireman booties!
She is a wonderful seller too… I wanted the Mary Janes but she didn’t have the size I needed listed so I asked and she made a pair right away just for me! Her store is: kraftyladykreations.etsy.com
I know I’m jumping ahead to the older kids but I have a niece that’s turning 4 in August and I’m getting her a
Nightmare Snatcher for her birthday. I wish these were around when I was little! You just write your fears in
your Nightmare Snatcher’s journal, close it up tight and the Snatcher helps you face your fears and makes them disappear!
This store is: Spiderbite.etsy.com
I was also thinking of getting her a tooth fairy pillow. What is the going rate now for the tooth fairy? When I was young it was a quarter. My neighbor tells me it’s up to $2.50!! What???
Anyhow, my niece is a princess (or so she tells me) and I think she would love this in her room while she loses all of those teeth. What an cute keepsake too. I still have my tooth fairy pillow my mom made for
me. I actually think she still has the teeth in a jar somewhere. But that’s just gross… I’m sure you don’t want any more info on that.
Should I advertise my own products here too? Sure… why not? They’re great for the nursing mom and baby. When babies are aware of their surroundings, they get distracted VERY easily and my nursing necklaces are 
designed to keep baby eating while playing and learning. Their little eyes take in all of the colors, shapes while their little fingers feel all of the textures and spin the spinners! A lot of babies end up weaning themselves because they get too distracted and nursing necklaces
are perfect to help the breastfeeding relationship last a long time.
Then as baby grows up, they become an “I Spy” toy! Have them find the green bead or use the “Alphabet Song” necklace to teach them the alphabet. The letters are separated as you would sing the song!
My store is: SnapdragonDesign.etsy.com
Well, that’s all I’ve got for today. Really, I could go on for a loooong time but I can hear my daughter waking up and my head is still in a towel (don’t worry, I’m dressed).
If anyone has any favorites that they MUST tell the world they’ve found OR have a product that is the coolest thing ever, let me know!
Happy 4th of July everybody!
