November 20, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

Fluf bags make it possible to pack all of the things you want in your children’s lunch, and none of the things you don’t.

Fluf bags are made with 100% certified organic cotton and a tested food safe lining. They are also free […]

Zoë b Organic Dishes

April 19, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

Little M and I are very excited about his newest dishes from Zoë b Organic. These dishwasher-safe dishes are eco-friendly, organic and made from corn. They are also super cute and functional. The plate is a good size, yet light and manageable for Little M’s toddler hands. And the bowl is deep enough for all of his favorites: soup, pasta, fruit or even cereal and milk. I love the bright and vibrant colors. I also love serving his food in new […]

Bathtime with Whales and Bubbles

April 10, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

Lately, Little M and I have changed things up a bit when it comes to bathtime. He loves splashing around in the tub and our small bath mats didn’t work as well for an energetic and active toddler. So we made the switch to this Skip Hop Moby Bath Mat. How cute is that smiling whale? Little M loves it. Whenever he is hesitant about getting into the tub, I just have to remind him about the whale and he […]

Itzy Ritzy – For An Organized Life

February 12, 2013 by crayonsandcroissants

Anyone who has young children knows that the days of traveling with just the bare necessities are in the past. When Little M and I go out, we don’t leave home without snacks, sippy cups, diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, extra socks – I could go on (and on and on). I used to struggle with keeping everything in my (ahem) overflowing diaper bag separated and easily accessible and I knew there had to be a better solution out […]
