OUR CHRISTMAS CARD 2016

/

True story: I designed and printed birth announcements for Trey in June and only half ended up in the actual mail (#busymomprobs) so I knew I needed some extra help with getting the Christmas cards out.

I handed over over the mailing to Postable, who sent them out for me. I just uploaded my address book, choose a design, and they did the rest. I didn't have to lick a single envelope. I felt like this was too good of a find not to share because it saved me so much time,  which is like gold to me in this stage in life and to everyone in December.

We love these cards! Get free postage all weekend with the code FREESTAMPS.

Thank you Postable for partnering with me on this post.

BEST COLD WEATHER BABY GEAR

/

It's getting chilly up here! I looked around for the best cold weather baby gear and found some good ones to share.

This Duodoune snowsuit is my favorite. It's warm, waterproof, and has options to be worn as a bunting bag or snow suit with snaps around the legs. I also love that the fit is a generous cut which has room to grow (Trey is wearing the Large which is size 6-12mo, and you can see that it's slightly big on him, which I was thrilled about since some 6-12mo sizes are too small on him already.)

Baby Mittens. These are waterproof (because, Seattle) and come with a string that can thread through a child's jacket, to keep them attached so you never loose one. They also have tiny clips that can attach on diaper bags, coat zippers, etc.

WarMMuffs for adults. How cool is this concept: these attach to your stroller, so you put your hands in them, but once you get to your destination you just slip your hand out and they stay on your stroller, one less thing to keep track of! These are also waterproof, fleece lined and super warm.

LambPod. I love this! I unzipped it and use half as my car seat blanket currently, it comes with a foot muff that circles around the bottom of the car seat. The fleece lining is so cozy, and the velcro straps around the car seat handlebar so It doesn't fall off. A super versatile, warm, cozy piece.

Blanket 212 Evolution Extendable Baby Bunting Bag. This is an outerwear piece that grows from infancy up until age PRESCHOOL. In an age when babies grow out of everything too quickly, I love that this is a piece that will last for years. It adapts to any stroller or car seat, it's waterproof, and it also converts into a large blanket.

Hats: My favorite knit hats are by Hanna Andersson and Krochet Kids (socially minded).
