The Tavo: A Tasty Modern High Chair

Posted on by MommyQ

Last week I was thumbing through a parenting magazine when I came across this awesome high chair. It’s called the Tavo and it’s made by an innovative design company called Monte Design. Speaking from personal experience, you don’t want to skimp on the high chair. I did and I totally regretted it.

To save money, we picked up a white, plastic high chair. It was such a nightmare to clean and fumbling with the tray made me crazy. I almost snagged my kid’s fingers in it – as well as mine – a zillion times. Anyway, read more about the terrific Tavo in my post on Babble’s Family Style blog.

I like to keep mommies in the loop about cool baby stuff, so I have to blog about a great giveaway happening over at Droolicious on Babble.com.

An online gallery featuring customizable fine art, Gallery Direct, is giving away two contemporary pieces that would look great in a nursery or child’s room. Both paintings will be a Canvas Gallery Wrap, which means the image wraps all the way around the edges of the mounted canvas, so you can hang them with or without a frame. Each piece measures 30 x 30 and will be shipped to you free of charge. Retail value for the pair is $400!

Click here to go to Droolicious and find out how to register. Good luck! Again, here is the pair but they won’t be framed.

She is an EXPERT when it comes to baby products and she puts that expertise to work for you! Need artwork? Ideas? Inspiration? Give Custom Nursery Art a spin. You will love this blog.

Tutu Dress is a Triumph in Tulle

Posted on by MommyQ

I’m obsessed with these tutu dresses. Probably because I have boys and never ever buy frilly prissy girly clothes. And today, I couldn’t resist. It just seems so appropriate for a holiday about love, angels and fluffy stuff.

This lovely tulle Chantella Dress features a neckline adorned with flowers and pearls. It comes with a full length under skirt, from shoulder to below the knee. If this doesn’t make your little girl twirl around with glee, I’m not sure what will! It comes in sizes from 1-year to 8-years and four beautiful colors – lavender, pink, mint green and baby blue.
