An Inside Look with The Babyplanners

 
 


As The Baby Planners, moms, and shopping enthusiasts, we’re always on the lookout for fab new finds... we look forward to sharing them with you here!

Smitten Baby

We’re big fans of Smitten Baby’s hip, cool, and vintage product line. They’ve taken the traditional and combined fashion and art to create a line of products that includes baby bottles, onesies, toddler T’s, and maternity wear. Their bottles feature fresh and funky colors and designs while Smitten Baby T's are made using original art that evokes ideas of peace, love, and dreams. Their company motto is “live life, love life” – use any of their fabulous products and you will, too!

Mountain Blue Eyes

Mountain Blue Eyes is a fabulous line of active wear for breastfeeding mothers. Active Mom Catherine Decelles created these clothes when she couldn’t find any that would facilitate her outdoor lifestyle with breast-feeding. From Basic Nursing Tee’s to a Nursing Fleece, these discreet, lightweight, and breathable designs are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re an outdoorswoman or simply enjoy the outdoors, this unique and innovative outerwear will have you covered.

Most Decadent Diet Ever

Cozy Wedge

The CozyWedge is the alternative to a traditional padded, crib bumper. It’s basically a wedged-shape crib bumper made of foam that is beautifully slipcovered. CozyWedge bumpers fit snugly around the crib, won't slip down, and are easy to remove for sheet changing. The shock-absorbing foam is the same foam used for swimming noodles and is totally nonabsorbent, CFC-free, and odorless. The 100% cotton slipcovers come in a variety of cool designs from “Groovy” to “Pillow Fight.” This is one idea we can definitely cozy up to!

Boogie Wipes

Throw away those dry tissues and give these moist towelettes with chamomile, aloe, and vitamin E a try. They’re perfect for squirmy babies and runny noses of all kinds - especially during sniffling, sneezing, allergy season. Julie and Mindee are the fabulous Boogie Mamas behind this great product that will keep little noses free and clear. The new grape “flavor” is equally appealing - so whether you keep these in your car, diaper bag, or stroller basket, you’ll get your boogie on!
