We adore those who give back and pay it forward. We also love a great lookin' tee made of organic cotton that says a lot without overdoing it. Must be why we fell for all the hip offerings at Booda Brand, a way too cool company that creates soft comfy tees adorned with smart artwork and inspiring words. We love the organic Love long sleeved tee and think the black Courage tee will make a great addition to our tots Fall wardrobe. Seems Oprah shares our love of Booda too, as she mentioned their "I Will Make a Difference" onesie in her fab magazine this past July. If that isn't enough to impress you, you need to know that the awesome folks at Booda will donate a book through Room To Read with every purchase...too brilliant for words.

How do you make packing lunches and snacks less of a chore and way more fun? Get a snazzy and stylish lunch bag mommy...really, it will make the task less annoying and way more enjoyable. A fresh new lunch tote is a necessity for back to school, and we also like to have one for baby's day out. Pack some water, apple slices and cheese and you've got yourself all you need for a yummy snack on the road. We just upgraded our lunch bag with a fab find from Dabbwalla Bags, a company that uses eco sponge to make it's kid friendly lunch bags. They're insulated and totally machine washable (go ahead and spill that cranberry juice). We went for the super hip British Invasion tote....looks too cool and keeps our juice box chilled as well. Perfect for adding a little "wow" factor to your kid's lunch. Have a look at their creations and tell us what one you like most.

We've been searching for the perfect baby blanket to pack in our hospital bag to take our new little bundle home in. We wanted a blankie that was warm, soft and stylish....something a little extra special and worthy of such an important day. Well, we stopped searching when we saw the gorgeous blankets that Sarah Jessica wrapped her two little girls in. Beba Bean makes a brilliant swaddle blanket called The Herringbone...so swish and all about being comfy, cozy warm. We went for the ivory hat and blanket set, however if you know you are having a boy or girl, you can choose pink or blue (we're holding out for one last big surprise). Love the unique over sized triangular shape, as it makes bundling heaps easier for those cool crisp Autumn mornings we're about to start feeling. Beba Bean also creates a line of stunning knit clothes, toys and shoes. If we knew we were having a girl, we'd need those red leather Mary Janes. Have a peak at our new obsession.

We all want to look our best. This is especially important when we're pregnant. We know...morning sickness and looking fabulous do not always go hand in hand, however we really feel (trust us ladies) that when you look good, you feel good. Wearing your hubby's jeans and old flannel shirt will not make the nausea and exhaustion any better. For those of you who feel the same way, we have a brilliant find for you! Sugar Town is a gorgeouse brand from France that will have you looking and feeling tres chic in no time. The tops and dresses are so original and perfect for anything from a quick coffee with friends to an impromto date night with daddy-to-be. Classy, romantic and tasteful are just a few of the comments we've gotten since sporting our new Sugar Town top. You'll feel like a French movie star in no time...and you'll forget all about that pesky morning sickness too.

It's really difficult to find stylish, modern bedding for kids. You really have to do your research, and lucky for you we did it for you! You can skip the big box stores and save hours at the mall just by checking out the lovingly made and too fabulous for words bedding at Jacob & Bonomi. We fell in love with the Li'l Apple blanket immediately. Love the use of gray in children's decor and bedding...it's modern and edgy and goes with so many other shades. The cotton blankets and sheets are just as soft as the web site says...we've even "borrowed" our tot's Jacob & Bonomi blanket ourselves for a quick nap (shhhh...don't tell her). Have a look and let us know what you think of their brilliant bed sheets and blankets. You'll be as smitten as we are. Promise.

We have some advise for all you mommies -to- be...if you choose to breastfeed, do yourself the favor of getting a quality nursing pillow. You will save yourself from back discomfort and be able to position yourself way more comfy then if you go it alone. Believe us...we know this one thing to be true. We wish we had owned one of Bummis hypoallergenic, super soft pillows the first time around. They call their pillow the Kuddle Ring, and it wins our vote as the best breastfeeding pillow on the market. It has a close fit around your waist and has removable stuffing if the pillow feels too high. Best part? The cover is removable and washable...may not sound necessary to someone who hasn't breastfed, but you would be amazed at how messy your pillow can get. The whole pillow is washable really, if necessary. Made in Montreal and well know for their cloth diapers, Bummis has created a pillow that really does make breastfeeding easier and more comfortable (and you'll thank them too after a 3am feeding).

We're not going to try and make you feel guilty....however...using products that are safe and free of harmful chemicals just makes sense. We're not perfect and sometimes we all eat fast food (and enjoy it), shop at big box stores and forget to serve veggies with supper, but when it comes to our tot's skin we think you should use what's best for them no matter what. We discovered Marie Veronique Organics and heard about their new Kid Safe Screen and we just had to try it. Free from all things nasty, it relies on the non-nano zinc oxide as it's active ingredient, so you know it's much safer then anything you pick up at the drug store on the way to the beach. Love the non greasy feel and that it says it can be used around the eyes. We tried it out at the beach last weekend and we're hooked. Can we be a little shallow and admit we love the posh look too? We're a sucker for anything packaged in a small, easy to carry silver bottle. Fancy look, safe sun protection, and peace of mind all packed into a stylish container...time to toss the rest of the sun creams out.

You must think we're nuts for writing about winter hats in the middle of a heat wave. However, we believe that smart mommies know that the good stuff goes first...if you wait till October to buy your tot their winter gear, then you know you'll be faced with slim pickings. We know we love the styles and originality at Zooni, so we picked two of their snazzy and warm winter hats for our kids this coming season. Our pink Flower Power hat is still in fabulous condition after two years, but we wanted to try out their new bamboo line and chose the Sweet On You cupcake chapeau with matching mittens. Love how soft the fabric feels. We also went for their black and white mop top Skull & Crossbones as our toddler has a wee obsession with pirates. Can't get the hat away from him....even in 30 degree heat. At least he loves it. Zooni's handmade hats have been spotted on every A List toddler in celeb land. Everyone from Miss Suri Cruise to Shilo Jolie-Pitt is sporting these fab hats and cosy mitts. Great minds think alike.

Dressing a little boy is heaps more challenging then dressing up a little girl. Thank goodness we heard about CUT By 2 Blondes, an amazing company started by two mommies frustrated with the lack of fashionable and stylish shirts made for boys. Well tailored, super soft & comfy in addition to being amazingly hip, these shirts are made for you tot's next big party or family gathering. Love the contrasting arms and cuffs...adds a little drama and originality without going over the top. Think Kingston Rossdale or Maddox Jolie-Pitt....very hip indeed. Don't fret if you don't live close enough to Fred Segal or Neiman Marcus to see their designs, just check out this list of retailers who carry Cut By 2 Blondes in their stores. We think you'll become as addicted as we are.

When we first saw the adorable prints from Nature Baby's Free Range line we were in love...what pregnant mommy wouldn't swoon at the site of a tiny onesie covered in simple, yet sweet bunnies? We heard that celeb mommy Maggie Gyllenhall is a fan and trust her style instinct. We had to see for ourselves how fabulous their organic line of baby clothes were and when the beautifully wrapped package arrived we must say we did let out a little squeal...another thing pregnant mommies do when baby clothing packages arrive. Inside was the softest onesie we've ever felt. Made with organic cotton, these threads are free of nasty chemicals. The patterns and shades are very baby friendly, yet hip enough for mommies who like that modern, simple and minimalist look (think Gwyneth or Angelina). Our favorite piece from their brilliant collection? The Kimono Dress in Grey Merl. We think you'll agree. After you have a look at their organic line of children's clothes, have a peek at their gorgeous baby furniture...just as fab as the clothes, if not more.
