Modern and affordable rocking chair

My friend who is expecting a baby this November, has asked me to find some options for a modern looking, affordable rocking chair or a glider. Here is what I could dig up on a short notice, all around $300.

This rocker has sort of a childish quality to it. Imagine it with a cute fabric on it, or at least a colorful throw or a pillow. Great potential!

Classic Eames rocker will brighten up any nursery, a seating cushion will provide more comfort.

This glider from Walmart is a modern twist on a classic arm chair. Love the comfort, softness, clean lines, plus it comes in many colors, including PINK!

This glider from Walmart is surprisingly modern and edgy. Great for a modern nursery!

Just could not resist posting this great looking crib from Walmart. It looks just as good as similar cribs from Dwell, only this one cost less ( $300)


I almost forgot to include this unique find: a cradle and a rocker all-in-one! I had trouble locating the price, but I am sure it's UP there ;)

What to give to a 3-year-old boy for his birthday?

My daughter got invited to the very first birthday party. It's her daycare buddy, and he is going to turn 3! WIth all the excitement and explanation to Alina of what a birthday party is going to be like, I totally forgot about THE birthday present until today.Thankfully, I still have 6 days to get something special. Ok, so I am thinking: he is 3, he is a boy, what does he want? Quick search online, and I stumbled upon a great webstore - Oompa. The have a huge selection of toys that are eco-friendly, made in the USA, made in Europe, and just simply unique and adorable! There are too many to post here, just go to their website and see for yourself. Here is what we got for the little birthday boy:

E-Truck looks totally awesome! Modern and well-designed to last.

Forest Friends Block Puzzle has 6 pictures to put together! My daughter loves this kind of puzzles!

Because you can never have enough of colored pencils, and these require no sharpener!

 ( though Oompa has really cute pencil sharpeners ;)

Dedicated to all the Baby Girls to be born soon!

Two of my pregnant girlfriends are having GIRLS! Yey! Girls rock! To celebrate this great news I am doing a post about wonderful modern fabrics that I think can inspire anyone to create the cutest nurseries for girls. Not your-ordinary-disney-kind-of cute, but unique, sweet, elegant, modern kind-of-cute. Seriously, this Etsy shop makes me want to have another baby just for the sake of designing a nursery around their fabrics. WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAVORITE?

Baby Sleeps - Mama shoots!

New kind of baby bottles

If you are one of those parents that worry about harsh chemicals leaking into your child's drink from the plastic bottle ( even BPA free), but not a big fan of heavy glass bottles, maybe you should consider new stainless steel bottles from Pura Kiki. These bottles are antibacterial, toxin-free, chip/break-free and are compatible with variety of  nipples & spouts. Plus, look how cool, stylish and colorful these are!
