If you were a child growing up in the nineties, there’s a good chance you had a Lisa Frank binder or two, possibly some stickers, and for sure some pencils. Her iconic rainbow-ed animals and images were all the rage for middle school kids everywhere – and now, it’s back! Today we rounded up our favorite baby registry items inspired by Lisa Frank’s designs.

This Unicorn Over the Rainbows LilleBaby carrier is way too hip and way too cute!

Back to Sleep Day 15: Cloud b

by Gugu Guru 4 Comments

We have lots of heart for today’s Back to Sleep sponsor: Cloud b – and that might be because the brand’s adorable, award-winning Sleep Sheep has a lot of heart for newborns (heartbeats, that is). Sleep Sheep is the ultimate sleep-aid for your babe. It is a cute, cuddly, little lamb with a hidden sound machine that plays white noise to soothe your child into a restful, relaxing sleep.

If you’re on the go with baby a lot, whether it’s down the street or “across the pond”, it’s important to create a familiar, comfortable sleep environment for your baby to promote good sleep habits. Whether it’s at home or on a travel crib, Sleep Sheep’s velcro tab allows for easy attachment. Also important for travel is that Sleep Sheep is easy to clean – just remove the soundbox and through in the washing machine and dryer.

To an infant, there’s nothing as comforting as a mother’s heartbeat and the Cloud b Sleep Sheep is the perfect stand-in, especially when baby is at daycare. Sleep Sheep features a heartbeat setting that mimics the comforting sounds of the womb in addition to three white noise options.

The Sleep Sheep is scientifically proven to promote sleep. This is important for all babies but especially premature babies, who spend a fraction of time in deep sleep compared to their full-term counterparts. A study of 20 newborns found that infants were more likely to fall asleep within five minutes in response to white noise. And, preemie or not, little ears are more sensitive, so Cloud b products are kept within recommended sound levels.

A Princess Bride Baby Registry

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

A Princess Bride Baby Registry?
Inconceivable!
(You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.)

Raise your hand if you’re a Princess Bride fan like the team at Gugu Guru is. Bet you didn’t know that you could design a Princess Bride-themed baby registry. Well, now you know and we’ve done a lot of the legwork for you with these awesome picks featuring some of the most memorable movie characters of all time.

For Mom

You don’t even have to wait until you’ve had your baby to get your Buttercup on. The designers at Fillyboo maternity have you covered with their line of boho chic maternity clothes fit for a queen. Shown here from the collection: Wonder Years in ‘Baby Baby’ blue and I Believe In Unicorns maxi dress in off white.

For Nursery

We found our “true love” when we discovered is this beautiful, whimsical hand made Princess Bride crib mobile from PinkCheeksStudios on Etsy.

This “As You Wish” (secret code for “I love you”) print is a simple, beautiful touch for the nursery. Available in different colors.

For Baby

From our favorite revenge-seeking swash buckler, Inigo Montoya to the inconceivable Vizzini, there’s no shortage of awesome onesies for your little one on Etsy. Shown here: “Hello. My Name Is…” toddler t-shirt and Inconceivable onesie.

If you happen to be expecting a Princess Buttercup of your own, might we suggest checking out an eponymous floral crown from MaeMillerCrowns on Etsy.

Back to Sleep Day 11: 4moms Breeze

by Gugu Guru 9 Comments

This is hands-down, one of the coolest play yards out there. Any seasoned parent will tell you that play yards can be so dang confusing. Some have this whole step-by-step process of popping up the sides and then pushing some button in the middle while the sides that you thought were popped in wind up collapsing on you… (Wait, yeah, that’s not the way it’s supposed to go but that’s been our experience and the experience of many others.) And that is why the team at Gugu Guru just loves the sleep-certified 4moms Breeze. Learn more about whether this product is a fit for your lifestyle and/or baby registry then enter to win one below.

Aside from its general ease of use and the fact that it comes with a convenient travel bag, the 4moms Breeze is so sturdy and well made that it is sure to withstand the beating that traveling baby gear typically takes. From being stacked on to thrown on a conveyor belt, rest assured that the Breeze can take it and will still provide a comfy, familiar place for baby once you arrive at your destination. The fact that both the play yard and bassinet attachment wipe clean with a damp cloth is also a bonus when you’re on the road frequently.

4moms is really THE gear brand for tech loving parents. The company actually doesn’t call itself a “baby gear company” but rather a “consumer technology company that leverages robotics, technology and innovative design to disrupt and redefine.” With its one touch open and close feature, the Breeze doesn’t disappoint in terms of disrupting the category.

4moms calls its Breeze “seriously easy” and we agree, hence our No Fuss badge here. To open the Breeze, you just give one push. To close the Breeze, you just pull a single time. Anyone who has ever battled with a clunky play yard of the past will more than appreciate the ease of use that the Breeze has to offer. Furthermore, there’s something to be said about “so easy to use that a grandparent can figure it out” and that definitely applies here.

Gender Neutral Nursery Inspiration

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

As Zoolander might say, Gender Neutral is “so hot right now” and today we have some tips to create your most stylish and functional gender neutral nursery, along with some product suggestions and inspiration along the way.

Step 1a. Start with a focal point, like a crib or an eye-catching mirror. We love this Dream On Me 5-in-1 Convertible Crib.

Step 1b. Select your crib mattress. Bet you didn’t know that crib mattresses could come in different colors? Well the Lullaby Earth Breeze breathable 2-stage crib mattress does and for our gender neutral nursery pleasure, we love the gray.

Step 2. Build around your focal point with complementary but functional items. Don’t just add to add – trust us, you will regret filling your nursery with too much “stuff” later on. Your nursery should be as serene and uncluttered as possible. For storage and hampers, we love the whimsical bins from 3Sprouts.

Step 3. Choose non-toxic, high quality products that are built to last like a non-toxic, machine-washable rug from Lorena Canals. We are digging this gray ombre for gender neutral nurseries.

Step 4. Make sure you have a comfortable place to sit for those late night feedings. We are huge fans of the Nurseryworks Sleepytime Rocker – another high quality piece that will last.

Step 5. Invest in some good tech to ease your mind when both you’re present and not in the nursery. We’re big fans of the new Project Nursery baby monitor, which boasts the world’s smallest 1.5” audio and video Mini Monitor; perfect for taking with you around the house to keep a constant watch on the little one. Talk about multi-functional – the aden+anais Serenity Star includes a feeding diary, sound machine, room temperature indicator, night light and clock. If you’re a music lover, adding some modern lullabies and rhythms to the nursery helps to create ambience. We dig the VAVA Voom Bluetooth speakers that provide 360 degree surround sound. Lastly, air quality is key and Crane’s smartDROP Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier is a high tech humidifier that increases air moisture for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep.

Step 6. Keep in mind that diapering can now be stylish too. With brands like Ubbi, a diapering station in the nursery no longer has to be a disorganized, plastic eye sore! We love their sleek diaper pails (including the awesome black triangles featured above that’s coming soon) and caddy. Plus cover up a diaper changing pad – like this one from Munchkin – with a gorgeous cover from aden+anais and that corner may just be the chicest in the room!

Back To Sleep Day 3: Naturepedic

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Today is all about a premium line of organic crib mattresses for your baby – Naturepedic. Naturepedic uses only U.S. grown and certified organic cotton filling in its crib mattresses. Today we shine a spotlight on the brand’s top of the line Ultra Breathable 2-Stage Organic Crib Mattress.

Naturepedic’s Ultra Breathable’s intelligent organic design is free of flame retardant chemicals and other questionable materials. The combination of organic, breathable, and practical makes the Ultra Breathable 2-Stage a healthier, safer crib mattress than conventional breathable designs.

The Ultra Breathable 2-Stage starts with a firm, flat crib mattress for safety, then a breathable mattress pad is added to keep your baby cool and dry. The patented waterproof surface of the mattress protects the interior from urine, spit-up, and other messes, and it’s easy to wipe clean. Meanwhile, the breathable mattress pad maximizes airflow between the baby and mattress for a cool, comfortable sleep with less risk of overheating.

Naturepedic is proud to offer the very best organic mattresses – made right here in the U.S.A. When you buy a Naturepedic product, you can feel proud of your support for U.S. jobs and industry. You can also be assured that your bed was crafted by people who care.
