Remember my search for the perfect Valentine shirts for Toddler Boy and Baby Girl? (No? Read here!) I don’t want to brag or anything, but I seriously found the cutest shirts at Baby Dots by the Nook. We had a little photo shoot last weekend with their new duds and they are just the perfect shirts. Clearly, the credit really goes to Summer of Baby Dots who made their adorable shirts. And, now you can get your very own! That’s right, Baby Dots is giving one reader a one-fabric tee or onesie of your choice!

Baby Dots onesies and shirts feature adorable polka dot fabric appliqués that are hand designed, cut, ironed on, and then zigzag stitched with a machine in a contrasting color of thread. I like the initial designs and if you are the first to order a so-far-untitled initial onesie, the listing in the future will be named after your little one. How fun is that?

Toddler Boy is into cars in all forms so I know this Vroom design on a tee is sure to be a winner for any little man in your life.
And my favorite part of Baby Dots shirts just has to be the applique on the back. A heart for girls and a star for boys. Here are my munchkins in their Valentine’s shirts showing off their festive hearts.

The Consumer Products Safety Commission on Friday announced a year long stay on the enforcement of the CPSIA! Our favorite manufacturer’s of children’s products can continue to create without the overwhelming testing and certification requirements that were to go into effect February 10. (Read more details here.) As a shopaholic of handmade children’s toys and clothes, I think this is great news. Let’s celebrate the good news by shopping for some handmade toys, shall we?

I just love the balls and teethers at Little Poppy Shop. Jamie, the creator of all these little gems, says her “ultimate goal is to make toys and clothing that [her son] and other babies and toddlers will love that are completely safe.” All the toys are made of 100% cotton that is safe for babies skin and have small little jingle bells inside. I appreciate that all the fabrics are adorable and not over-the-top babyish and that the noise is subtle and not totally annoying.
