Be Still and Knit Boutique

Be Still and Knit Boutique takes yarn that has been rescued from old sweaters, afghans, and other places and makes baby blankets with them. We love the idea of recycling yarn, and the blankets are quite beautiful. Each one is unique because they take from different scraps of yarn, but they are all still quite soft and snuggly. They are also all hand crocheted in the USA by stay at home moms. You can choose between either light or dark blankets. This boutique sells baby hats, booties, and more too.

Cream Lamb Sleepy Cuddler

Cream%20Lamb%20Sleepy%20Cuddler.jpg

If you're looking for a cuddly blanket for your baby this winter, I think the Cream Lamb Sleepy Cuddler is a great pick. This blanket is in the shape of a lamb, is super soft, and it's also life-size at 22x22 inches. It's also machine washable, which is essential for this type of product!

Perennial Buggy Blanket by Brooks Pond

Books Pond makes some super cool products. Their Buggy Blanket is a great example. This blanket is much more than just a blanket. In the summer you can convert it to a lap pad or play mat, and its washable bottom half can be used as a liner to protect your stroller from sticky summer messes. In the Fall use just the breathable wind- and water-resistant nylon shell. In the Spring the scuff resistant boot guard and boot pouch protect the interior from muddy shoes. And of course, in the winter, use it to keep your child warm on those cold wintery walks!

Mairzey Dotes Blankets

I had been meaning to write about Mairzey Dotes Blankets since we recently had an ad up from them and they seemed like nice blankets. But of course life took over and I forgot. Today Peter and I were realizing that we need a blanket for Andy's crib, and I realized that these blankets would be perfect! All we have right now are super heavy blankets, and we realized that we need something to get us to winter. These blankets would be perfect. They come in a bunch of different styles and colors as well as in two different sizes.

Cherries Blanket

cherriesblanket.jpg

Andy has a ton of baby blankets, but he doesn't have a quilt. I still have the quilt I had as a baby, so I wish he had one too. The Cherries Blanket might be a little too girly for him, but it'd be perfect if you have a baby girl or know someone else who is having one. It has a bunch of cute fabrics that are colorful and fun as well as lots of different textures. There's also pink bows at each corner!

Blankets by Sugarplum Creations

I probably love baby blankets because they are so much softer than adult blankets. And I love being able to wrap up Andy in something super soft and comfortable.The blankets by Sugarplum Creations at Etsy look super luxurious and I'm sure any baby would love them. They are colorful with fun prints and some really lush fabrics. Some of my favorite designs include Secret Garden, Fighter Planes, and Princess Petals.

Baby Summer Wrap with UV Protection

babysummerwrapuv.jpg

One of my biggest issues last summer with a newborn baby was that he couldn't be out in the sun. My pediatrician told me not to put sun screen on him until he was six months old, but by that point it was already well into fall and I wasn't outside much anymore. I really wish I had the Baby Summer Wrap with UV Protection back then. It only allows 1/30th of the sun's UV rays to pass through, it's very lightweight so your baby stays cool, and it's easy to pack and travel with too. If you plan on being outside with a newborn a lot this summer, I think this is a wise purchase.

Review: Secure2Me

You may remember Secure2Me, the blanket that clips to your stroller, car seat or wherever else you need a blanket for your baby, which we wrote about last month. We love this idea and could have used it a ton of time since Andy was born. The company was kind enough to send us a blanket to review for you all!

Cashmere Baby Blanket

cashmerebabyblanket.jpg

When you think of cashmere, you probably think about how expensive it is and how it's definitely a luxury (unless you're richer than the Hilton sisters, and then you probably buy whatever you want whenever you want and I'm quite envious). However, The Pashmina Store has come out with Cashmere Baby Blankets that won't break the bank. These blankets are handmade in Nepal Retailing at $59, they are available in seven colors and are Grade A cashmere (which the site says is the best). We aren't sure how long this price will last, so consider buying one now if you're interested!

Interactive Play Quilt

interactiveplayquilt.jpg

I have about a thousand baby blankets or various different shapes, styles, and textures. However, one of my favorites is one that a former boss made for me that has a bunch of different prints so I can play games with it with Andy. I like how interactive it is; it's so much more than a regular blanket. Therefore, I think the Interactive Play Quilt is a great idea. Each square (16 in total) has a flap with a picture underneath. There are matching pictures, so you can play a memory game with the quilt. It's handmade, an easy game to bring anywhere, and it obviously can be used as a regular blanket as well. I think it'd be great to keep in the car so you always have a game in case you suddenly need one (as well as a way to keep your child warm or a place for him to sit if you suddenly end up at the park or at the beach.

Receiving Blanket by Eloise & Etienne

receivingblanket.jpg

I'm realizing how much I love vintage children's fabrics such as the one on the Receiving Blanket by Eloise & Etienne. I just love the look of the circus animals here. It's so classic and yet somehow so new and fresh. This blanket has a 32 inch diameter. Because of availability of the vintage fabrics, your blanket may not look just like this one, so check to make sure you like what you are getting before ordering. But I think with almost any vintage fabric, you'd end up with a beautiful blanket either way.

Secure2Me Blanket

secure2me.png

Yesterday I wrote about the issue of bottles falling when you take your little one for a walk. Today I'll cover another potential issue when using your stroller: the weather. Sometimes you want to walk, but it's just a little nippy out. The Secure2Me Blanket is a great alternative. The blanket has a non-pinch clip on each corner that you can use to secure the blanket wherever you need to, such as the stroller. You can also use it in the car, on a baby swing, a baby carrier or sling, baby carrier, infant seat, and even as a nursing cover-up that won't fall off. There are a bunch of different fabric choices in the collection, with Licorice and the Blue and Pink Chiffons being my personal favorites.
