NURSERY DECOR TREND: The Natural Look

As much as we love bright colors, there’s just something sweet and irresistible about a nursery that is decorated with natural elements. We found this stunning wood crib by Kalon Studios and were inspired to find décor pieces that would accent its natural beauty and create a gorgeous nursery.

This DIY felt bird mobile (tutorial click here) we created would look perfect hanging over the crib, and is also sophisticated enough to transition into a big kid room.

The hand-embroidered woodland scenes on this organic cotton crib collection from Coyuchi would be the perfect complement for this crib.

Personalized growth charts with woodland creatures, like the Woodland Fun childrens growth chart, would be ideal for decorating a natural themed nursery and can easily become treasured baby keepsakes.

Hanging over a changing table, glass terrariums with super low maintenance air plants give baby something to admire during changings.
Do you love a nature-inspired nursery as much as we do?

OUR NEW BABY KEEPSAKES CONTEST

Recently we were talking about our baby showers and what some of our favorite gifts were. Though there were a variety of functional items we couldn’t live without, everyone could name personalized childrens gifts among their top choices. Whether they were personalized growth charts, alphabet posters, or onesies, there’s just something extra special about a custom gift.

So, what was your favorite baby shower gift? Please tell us in the Comments section and you will be entered to win a $50 gift card good for personalized tshirts for kids, including Big Brother Tshirt and Big Sister Tshirt designs, as well as décor. We’ll choose a winner on Friday, good luck!

Cool Name of the Week: Zoe/Zoey/Zooey

Zoe was the name of several Byzantine empresses, as well as a few saints, which means this Cool Name of the Week has a pretty cool history. And even though the name Zoe (also spelled Zoey or Zooey) is ranked the 31^st most popular girl’s name, it still feels fresh and not overly used. Plus it has a hip edginess, which may be why several celebrities, including Rosanna Arquette, Woody Harrelson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Lenny Kravitz, have named their daughters Zoe.
The bird on the branch symbolizes spring, the season of new life, so these personalized growth charts and Big Sister Tshirt would make a great fit for any little girl named Zoe, which literally means “life” in Greek.

So it was no hard task to find the perfect presents to give to baby on his/her first Valentine’s Day.

Personalized baby onesies and a soft baby blanket, like this one from PoshHouseOriginals on Etsy, make a great gift set they’ll love now and you’ll hold on to as treasured baby keepsakes.

NURSERY DECOR COLOR TRENDS: PINK!!

Love the color pink? We sure do! There are so many different shades of this sweet hue that it’s easy to create the perfect nursery to fit your style. We’ve found a few pink colored nursery designs that we adore and paired them with our personalized growth charts.

Cool Name of the Week: CALEB

In the Top 40 popular boy’s names since 2000, Caleb is continually growing in popularity and is our Cool Name of the Week. Of Hebrew origin meaning whole hearted, the name is also associated with boldness, devotion, and strength. Those are perfect attributes for a big bro so we chose the following Big Brother Tshirt designs that complement the name.

The bold font of the Stamped Style, Retro Style, and Nuts n’ Bolts Big Brother Tshirt designs clearly show off his strong sibling pride.

And of course the I LOVE (you pick) tee is ideal for the sweet, whole-hearted boy.

COLOR US HAPPY

Winter can be gray and dreary at times, so having colorful accents in the home and in our wardrobes helps keep the blahs away. We even created wintry-themed coloring pages to give the kiddos something fun to do while they’re cooped up inside. That got us thinking about crayons and colored pencils and how we love creating our line of personalized growth charts, big brother tshirts, and big sister tees so much, those “tools” have turned up in our designs. They make us happy and we hope it will also inspire the wee ones to play, create, and have fun with color!

Our new Kids Play Big Sister Tshirt design is all about having fun, so it’s brightly hued with a big orange crayon front and center.

As designers we can’t help but love the fact that the Love to Sketch Big Sister Tshirt and Big Brother Tshirt is one of our most popular designs – which means you love to sketch too!

Our personalized growth charts are all colorful, but the stacked pencils in the Color Megrowth chart make us want to grab our pack and start to draw every time.

LET IT SNOW!! WITH OUR PAPER PLATE CRAFT

This winter has been especially cold, so we thought we would take a break from designing our baby keepsakes like personalized growth charts, big sister tees, and big brother tshirts, to create a fun DIY project for the kids to enjoy.

This paper plate snowman and snowwoman is easy-peasy. Just print out these templates, one for a girl and one for a boy, and then cut out the parts. Glue two paper plates together to create the snowman shape, and then glue the printed parts on to them to create the finished look.

Celebrity Kids: Max and Emme Anthony

Super-duper cute twins Max and Emme Anthony are turning 5 in a few weeks, which mean gifts galore from coast to coast. And with houses in California, New York, and Florida, personalized growth charts for each home would make wonderful gifts.
For their time in Hollywood, it has to be the Shooting Star personalized growth chart.

The urban-inspired My City personalized growth chart is ideal for their New York home.

The ocean-inspired Under the Sea personalized growth chart would work well in sunny Florida.

With the twins growing so quickly, these childrens growth charts make perfect baby keepsakes to treasure.
