We went to the most delightful first birthday party last weekend, for our friend Chip and Laura’s baby boy…Jack! This little cutie just turned one, and his mom did a fantastic job putting together a bright, coordinated, and FUN party! If you have ever read Hungry Little Caterpillar, you know that the star of the book goes on an eating adventure…which was the perfect set up for the food featured at the party. Everything was perfectly tagged with a themed stick-card. One of my favorite elements of the party was the favors…Mason jars with caterpillar gummies inside! (Who doesn’t love a Mason jar?) We also loved the potted plants scattered throughout the festivities, with egg-carton “caterpillars”! The cake was a combination of a red round cake with caterpillar “eyes” created by Laura…and the “body” was perfectly positioned cupcakes! Bright lanterns hung from the ceiling, adding pops of color everywhere. So creative, and so perfect for this little guys first birthday. You can tell he LOVED his cupcake!

2012Teether Blankies from Petites Frites
Filed Under (Playtime) by mary on 04-02-2012
We love finding specialty companies with luxury baby goods. And I am adoring the teether blankies at Petites Frites! Made from two layers of their signature fabric (a custom-designed cotton blend knit), the feel and size (12” x 12”) make for the perfect cuddle-worthy “blankie”. We also like the four safely-secured but removable and baby-friendly teethers at the corners. We feel like we have hit the jackpot in chewable blankies! Stylish and so usable!

2011AListBaby Loves: Carolle dolls

Tagged Under : Carolle, dolls for Christmas
There is just something about a Carolle doll that screams Christmas to us. Maybe because our own AListDad bought us a little brunette one 20 years ago. The quality is so great in a Carolle doll—you truly feel like you are gifting your little one something she will keep forever. {I still have mine! And she looks like new. Let me tell you..I took great care of my toys!} Our Carolle crush this year is Ambre. The outfit is so sweet. She looks like she is ready to hit the streets of Vail, Colorado for a chic dinner. Ambre is 14 inches tall, with blue eyes and the cutest little face ever. What is more exciting than a new baby doll for Christmas?!

It’s Friday, our favorite day of the week! Are you going to any birthday parties this weekend? We die for this Dick & Jane birthday party for twins Piper and Parker. The vintage toys remind me of Grandma’s basement in July. I can close my eyes and I am skating around the concrete floor in my Fisher-Price roller skates, sipping a root beer. Thanks to Giggles and More for the pics! If we were invited to this party, we would bring two of these cool Holga cameras from Crew Cuts.
