Cutest Ponytail Holders for Your Little Princess!

Chris Rea has a beautiful song I always liked called "Little Blonde Plaits," and fortunately I can now sing it to my daughter. She has beautiful blonde hair. However, it takes skills to keep it away from falling into her eyes. 

When Sophie turned one, I was able to put her hair into a little ponytail but I did not have anything to hold it with. So I started looking for ponytail holders on Etsy.com and I found a great shop! CuckooBoo has everything you need to make a beautiful baby hairdo, including hair clips, pins and ponytail holders. 

If you have a little princess at home and have some free time to experiment with baby's hair, then you will soon add the CuckooBoo Shop to your favorite online shopping destinations!

Stroller liners for comfortable stroller rides

I started looking for a stroller long before my daughter's birth. After many hours of browsing online and an extensive research, I finally made a significant investment into our first stroller. It was my biggest disappointment when the stroller arrived and I found out that the seat of the stroller did not provide enough cushion for the baby and, most importantly, it was made of polyester! 

I cannot have my baby sit on the polyester cover in a 80F degree weather, can I? So I started a new search. This time, I was looking for an all natural stroller liner. After many hours of search I gave up and decided that I must invent a product suitable for my needs. Strollababy was created. 

Comfortable, naturally soft and foldable stroller liner for happy tushies!

Strollababy Shop on Etsy offers stroller accessories for parents, who are looking for natural liners for their little ones. Most liners on the market claim to be 100% cotton, however, are filled with polyester, which traps the heat and makes baby hot, sweaty and irritable. Strollababy liner features 100% cotton front and back plus 100% natural cotton double padding for extra comfort of your child. The combination is highly breathable, helping to keep baby cool in summer days and warm in the winter. This helps reduce the risk of eczema and skin irritations. Designed to fit all regular 5-point harness strollers. The liner is reversible - just flip over for another look! 

They are easy to put on and take off and are machine washable. These liners have an hourglass shape and fit most regular 5 point harness strollers where straps come apart and can be threaded through the holes of the liner. Strollers that fit this liner include (but are not limited to):
 Inglesina, Bugaboo (Donkey, Cameleon, Bee (For the Bee model liner will overhang seat), Phil and Teds main seat, Mamas and Papas, Quinny, BabyLove, Steelcraft (including Agile), Baby Jogger (City Mini, City Mini GT, City Select, Elite), Maclaren, Peg Perego, Uppababy, 
Mountain Buggy (including Swift).

Another important feature of these liners is that they are lightweight and fold with your stroller! You will find it to be a convenient feature when you get your tot an umbrella stroller. I found it very handy during all travel trips with my baby girl. The stroller would fold with ease, just like there would be no liner. Most liners on the market have a thick cushion, which will not let you fold your stroller.

A bed your tot always dreamed about!

This is a fantastic find and it is definitely coming to our home with the birth of our second baby. I wish I found this bed when Sophie was younger, as she never liked her crib. I guess she never felt secure behind those crib bars and she was always frightened of the "sleep" time.

It was until the day we bought a low frame queen size bed for our fourth bedroom and Sophie took possession of it the very same day. She climbed into the bed and covered herself with a blanket. It was the moment when me and my husband decided our daughter was ready for her "big girl" bed. We were all beyond happy! Sophie was 15 months old. 

Today, Sophie is 21 months old and she loves going to sleep! She brings her teddy bear and books to bed, and she enjoys climbing on it by herself. The frame of the bed is low and we were never afraid she might fall down.

Beautiful design with no sharp edges 

Parents often ask when is a good time to make a transition from crib to bed. Many parents are afraid to remove those crib bars as they think it will remove the bedtime boundaries. However, it was never a case for us. Sophie goes to bed according to her set schedule and she enjoys falling asleep knowing she is not trapped behind the bars. 

I personally think that kids have to feel comfortable when they go to sleep and when they wake up. And, as long as it is safe for your child, "freedom" may actually be a beneficial thing for you and your toddler.
