Mother and Child - Modern Chinese Artwork

I love this colorful painting of a Mother and Son... See more of this style of artwork by a young painter named Tian Yong.

Sckoon Organic Cotton Children's Wear

Oh my goodness! I really love Sckoon's collection of Organic Cotton Children's wear! Since I've scoping out boy wear, I am so sprung on the Asian stylings of their Japonesk and Zen & Kabuki collections and the retro modern stylings of the Organic Pear collection! Check them out!

I'm also researching cloth diaper systems, and Sckoon's organic cotton diapers are definitely an option!

23 Weeks!

 
A fresh bouquet from the Farmer's Market and a comfy striped shirt = 23 weeks!

Birth Animation

I am almost 23 weeks now and am finally showing! Yay! Sorry, no pictures yet...lol. But I saw this wonderful animation on how beautiful and efficiently designed the natural birth process can be. I am locking these images in my head for me to conjure up during my delivery...

Baby Trunk Show at Kobo

This weekend is the Seattle Chinatown-International District Summer Festival and one of my favorite stores, Kobo at Higo, will be celebrating kids and families with a special Baby Trunk Show! I missed the trunk show but purchased some cute ornamental baby shoes last year from one of the participating local Seattle designers.

Sakura Bloom } Naturally Modern Baby Sling

I would really like to use a baby sling to promote bonding and rekindle the cultural art of babywearing and childrearing. I love these baby slings from Sakura Bloom that I saw over at Twig & Thistle! (My baby boy colors are teal, orange and green... and there are some perfect color combos for me here!). There are beautiful options in organic linen, sustainable dupioni silk and even styles for the daddy types! I am impressed by the Sakura Bloom collection as well as their commitment to donating a portion of their proceeds towards the well-being and sustainability of the Tibetan community. Oh and check out the awesome instructions on the art of modern babywearing here.

Dream Eco-Friendly Stroller by UPPAbaby

After reading lots of reviews and stalking poor unsuspecting moms, my dream stroller is the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller in green (if I were a rich girl)! UPPAbaby is committed to developing products that are eco-friendly and safe for our children. You can read more about their environmental commitment here. What I like about this set, is that it's compact, sleek looking and the baby has the option of facing you or the world. I love the soybean fiber/cotton lining in the bassinet, the spacious undercarriage for my belongings and how easily it folds up. Watch a video on the Vista stroller here.
