wooden toys that last for generations

When Sophie entered a teething stage, I started browsing internet for natural, safe and well-crafted wooden toys that could substitute plastic toys. Plastic often contains harmful chemicals, such as lead, Phthalates, or Bisphenol A (BPA). The toys made of plastic brake easily and many times have sharp edges or batteries inside (that baby can chew on). As a parent, my first priority was safety for my child and I decided to try wooden toys. I found a wonderful shop on Esty KeepsakeToys, which sells beautiful handmade wooden toys and teethers. All toys are made out of non-splintering solid maple wood and sanded smooth. The teethers are very comfortable for children to hold in their little hands and safe to put in their mouth. The shop offers customization: you can engrave a name of your child, which will give a toy a special meaningful value. The toys have loopholes and you can attach them to your child's favorite lovie. Another great shop on Etsy Strollababy sells beautifully made lovies with detachable beeswax maple teething rings. This is a creative and safe way to keep your child busy for some time. The lovies are perfect size and became our favorite travel companion.

Hello!

I am excited to finally be able to write my own blog (as my daughter now sleeps though the night and I have all this time to myself). I will be writing alongside other women on internet, who were gifted the best present of all: motherhood! Just like me.

One particular thing I will be sharing with you is my internet shopping experience. I love shopping for my daughter, but I gain the best experience by taking it to online retailers.  I find online shopping rewarding - both money-wise and time-wise, as not only it saves countless trips to stores but it provides access to all the money-saving deals. So join me in this blog to learn about the latest finds for your tots.  

MEET MY FAMILY




My daughter Sophie, who taught me what unconditional love is, and my husband Alexander, who knows how to make his often too-serious wife laugh.
