These stylish nursing covers called Booby Blankets use trendy Amy Butler fabrics and are just gorgeous. Every Booby Blanket is made of 100% cotton that is pre-washed and pre-shrunk, and measures 42″ x 27″. A variety of beautiful patterns are available.

You can purchase a Booby Blanket for $25 at Bebe-Leche.com. This makes a great gift as well.

Etsy seller Kimsieboldstudios creates beautiful children’s art illustration prints, perfect for hanging in a nursery or child’s room.

Printed with Claria Hi-Definition Ink on Epson Enhanced Matter Paper, the print sells for just $17.

These all-purpose boots are a great boot for all year long.

One size fits infants through age 12 months. The ankles are adjustable for snugness, and these boots are easy to get baby’s feet in as they slip on.

Although I ended up an average height, I was always short as a child, and my girls all seem to be following in my footsteps. I’m afraid we have first hand experience using makeshift booster seats like pillows and phonebooks. I think it is important to have a sense of humor about these things, however, which is why I cracked up when I saw this Yellow Pages Booster Seat. Made from easy-to-clean foam rubber, it is designed to give children ages three and up a soft boost at the dinner table. You can purchase one for $24 at http://www.oliebollen.com/detail.aspx?ID=12500&Code=WWF003&loc=related.

With three children who have to take a packed lunch to school/daycare every day, lunch bags get a lot of use at our house. Unfortunately, they also have a tendency to get lost. This can be a bit hard to stomach. I’ve learned the hard way that fancy lunch bags are not the way to go for us. That’s why I like this simple cotton tote lunch bag from ECOBAGS. The organic cotton equivalent of a brown paper bag, this simple style does the job without breaking the bank, which makes losing a few along the way a little easier to tolerate. It is super-easy to clean, too. You can purchase one (or a few) for $7 at http://www.nubiusorganics.com/ECOBAGS-Organic-Cotton-Lunch-Tote-P234.aspx.

At my house, my older daughters need no reason to stay in the bath. My four year old will stay in frigid water just to play with her bath toys. My baby, on the other hand, screams as soon as we turn on the faucet. She’s not old enough yet to be enticed by tub toys, but I can certainly see this Boon Splat Floating Ringtoss being a draw for reluctant bathers who are just a bit older. It sure looks like fun. It is also BPA free and easy to clean. You can purchase the set for $7.99 at http://www.allmodernbaby.com/Boon-13584-911-BOO1064.html.

Everyone I know raves about Phil & Teds strollers. The company certainly has a reputation for quality and innovation. This carrier recently caught my eye with its simple, striking style. Similar to the popular Bjorn, it looks like it has added support for moms and dads who will no doubt appreciate it. A Merino lining is super comfy for little passengers. It comes with a newborn head and neck support for the youngest users. You can purchase one of these practical carriers on sale for $79.99 ($10 off) at http://www.allmodernbaby.com/philandteds-CP7-PTJ1019.html. Shipping is free.

I love the bright and cheerful colors in this Catimini Spirit Denim Top and Skirt set. The green and magenta really compliment each other strikingly. Characteristically Catimini, this set has a lot of extra details that make it special. It would look great with some bright, funky tights. You can purchase this outfit in toddler sizes for $110.50 (down from $130) at http://www.forgetmenotkids.com/Catimini-Spirit-Denim-Raspberry-LS-Top-With-Green-Eyelet-Skirt_p_39859.html. It will definitely be an attention getter.
