Is it too soon to start thinking about Valentine’s Day? Maybe. I bet that once the drugstores clear all their Christmas merchandise, the candy will start rolling in. In any event, I just took a peek over at Klosti’s etsy shop and saw this super cute Dishtowel Dress. It’s even in a color scheme I love!
Connie, the maker of these sweet dishtowel dresses says she started her etsy shop as part of a dare but really found etsy as an inspiring place. I totally agree.
When I first chatted with Connie, all I noticed in her shop were the dresses. But you know what? She has BABY STUFF in there now! I swooned over this bib & booties set.
Even though I have three rough-and-tumble boys running around my house, I find myself browsing the adorable girl stuff online and longing for a sweet little one to dress up in bows and ruffles. This fetus I’m carrying is most likely a boy, so I shouldn’t drool too much. One can only hope, though…
Speaking of dressing up, TuTees is a shop that sells these adorable personalized t-shirts with little tutus attached. And for the little ballerinas, there are onsies with tiny tutus. The cuteness is OVERWHELMING I TELL YOU. Never fear, though, mothers of boys, TuTees also sells Super Tees with capes attached.
TuTees is a mother-daughter collaboration, the daughter being the inspiration. Like me, she has three boys and “needed more tulle in her life.” I understand. What fantastic ideas she has! She thought the traditional tutus would be extra sweet with polka dot ribbons.
A lot of the ideas for TuTees come from customer requests, so who knows what they’ll come up with next!

With only a few months left of this pregnancy, I’m starting to examine our cloth diaper stash and all of its accessories. For the most part, we’re all set with prefolds and a few fitteds for the non-prefold-loving family members/church nursery/lazies. I have to knit a few newborn and small woolens, but there’s still time for that. One item in particular that we received when Simon was born is still going strong and I am anticipating will last well into this baby’s potty-learning days: The Hanging Diaper Pail.
The Mother of Eden Hanging Diaper Pail is a magical bag that contains the smells of the worst diapers and is leak-proof. It can be hung from a door knob, or like we used to do, the corner of our changing table. And it holds a LOT of diapers. When the bag is full, you just dump the dipes into the washer along with the bag and wash it all at once! Oh, and there is also a nifty little sachet sewn into the bag so that you can add a few drops of essential oil for extra odor control. BRILLIANT.
We still use our hanging diaper pail even though Simon wears only a nighttime diaper…and those are RANK. For a while, we just tossed his nighttime dipes into the laundry room with the underpants, but the smell gets overwhelming after a day. I suggested we just use the diaper pail for them and save the planet from excess toxins in the atmosphere. Problem solved! We hang it from the back door knob in the laundry room since Simon has significantly outgrown the changing table.
My only regret with the Mother of Eden Hanging Diaper Pail? I wish we had an extra one to use while the other one is in the wash! I do believe another one will be going on our new baby’s wishlist.
