Well Home: Crane Humidifiers

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

–Sponsored Post–

When thinking about Spring Cleaning, we often overlook the most important aspect in the house: the air we breathe. When it comes to keeping a Well Home with babies, it’s significant to keep the air clean and humidified, to prevent tiny nasal passages from getting clogged up. Crane USA Humidifiers are the perfect way to keep the air in your home just the way you want it; with their line of drop humidifiers in a huge variety of colors, you are sure to find a color which matches every room in your house.



The drop humidifiers feature a ultrasonic cool mist which increases moisture in the air for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep; whether it is in your bedroom, the living room, or baby’s room, wherever the family will spend time, or sleep, is a wonderful place to have a Drop Humidifier. It’s so important to have the right amount of humidity in bedrooms, as proper humidity relieves cough, cold, and flu symptoms, as well as nasal congestion, dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds, and dry skin and hair. Furthermore, the clean control antimicrobial material in the base is proven to help reduce mold and bacteria growth up to 99.96%.

Plus, these Crane Drop Humidifiers are super easy to have around! The removable 1 gallon tank easily fits under most bathroom sinks, and they don’t even require a filter. How easy is that?! They run whisper quiet up to 24 hours, providing your house the proper humidity it needs. One Drop Humidifier effectively humidifies small and medium rooms up to 250 square feet, and the auto-Off function activates when water tank is empty. Additionally, these humidifiers are more energy efficient than a household light bulb – up to 45W. There’s simply no reason to not have at least one of these Drop Humidifiers in your house!

The Gugu Guru team loves products which overlap wedding and baby registries, If you’re getting married, the Drop Humidifiers make the perfect wedding gift, as they have a sleek and modern design, a full line of colors to chose from, and most importantly, will keep you healthy year round; plus, if you have any musical instruments which need humidity, Crane has you covered with these easy to use Drop Humidifiers. Any pregnant woman can tell you how important humid air is, as sinus pressure and dry skin are #pregnancyproblems for many women; the Drop Humidifier makes the ultimate baby shower gift, so don’t forget to add it to your registry today.

DIY Toddler Game

by Gugu Guru 2 Comments

See Kate Sew partners with Gugu Guru once again to share a fantastic DIY tutorial.  This time? An easy and fun game you can play with your toddler. 

Today’s DIY is a painting activity! This is a matching game made with paint on wooden discs. This is a pretty simple tutorial so you could involve your toddler in making it, if you want! The game itself helps teach colors, shapes and designs, which is an added bonus.


I’m always looking for activities I can do with my 4 year old while entertaining a baby as well and the Little Nomad mat has been a fun place for us to play together. We can pull out a little game or a story and set some toys out for the baby. Everyone is happy and we love gathering here.

This mat is so cute and flows nicely with my home decor. We have the mat in our living room and I love not having a primary color mat where we entertain! It’s nice and adult feeling but still functions perfectly for our little kids! The baby knows its her place space and loves to explore the mat! You can read more about it over at See Kate Sew!

Materials:

-2″ wooden discs
-colorful acrylic paints
-vinyl
-xacto knife

Instructions:

Cut out squares from the vinyl first and create shapes using an X-acto knife. Before cutting, layer 2 pieces of vinyl so you get two designs that are exactly the same.

You can use a hole punch, craft punches and other tools to make different designs. I made polka dots with a hole punch, a scallop circle with a scrapbooking punch and then made another by covering half the wooden circle with vinyl. There are lots of possibilities and you can take input from your toddler or older child, too!

If you are low on shapes, make multiple circles, for example, and paint a pair a different color.

Use paints to paint over the the vinyl.

Let the paint dry, then peel off the vinyl. Your shape will be nice and dry and you’ll be ready to play.

Cora’s Nursery

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We absolutely fell in love with Lindsay Wilkins of Hello Hue Blog, when we came across her Instagram.  Then pregnant with her now 4 month old beautiful daughter, Cora, we love Lindsay’s sense of style.  The decor that she selected for Cora’s nursery is so special and eclectic; we find it the intersection of sophistication and simplicity.  The room is not overly designed and has lots of eye-catching gorgeous touches. We’re excited to share it with you today. Follow along as Lindsay lets us know about her choices to decorate this unique nursery.

First up – the crib mattress. Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to selecting a crib mattress. You may ask, “Can a crib mattress be a nursery accent?” Our answer is an emphatic YES!

breeze_1024x1024

Gugu Guru recommended Lullaby Earth Breeze crib mattress as a perfect fit for Cora’s nursery because, not only is it safe and breathable, it comes in a gorgeous array of colors as seen above – like this pink hue that Lindsay selected for Cora’s sleeping space.

We’re all about personalization on Gugu Guru and it’s also a huge trend in nursery. On Etsy shop, Lucy’s Letters, you’ll find wooden name signs available in a rainbow of gorgeous colors. The signs are all lightweight and perfect for personalizing a space.

sign

Next up – a key nursery accent: bedding. We love us an heirloom quilt over here at Gugu Guru. Lindsay selected Etsy shop The Feather and Arrow‘s beautiful quilt work for the nursery. Lindsay says that she loves the brand for its maker but also because the product is high quality, “Megan has a heart of gold and her quilts are not only lovely but so durable too ( believe me- we’ve washed ours several times already thanks to our little Poopy McGee).”

nursery4

One of our favorite touches to Cora’s gorgeous nursery is these absolutely stunning paper flowers from Amaranthus Paper Flora on the wall. Not only are these flowers beautiful, but they’re perfectly lightweight for hanging above baby’s head. This company is run by mother-daughter duo Meredith and Cherie, which makes it even more heartwarming.

Thank you to our brand partners at Lullaby Earth for sponsoring this post.

Inspired by: Wes Anderson

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

Whether you’re a fan of Wes Anderson’s films or not, you can’t deny that his style and color scheme is utterly amazing to see and would be such a fun inspiration for a baby’s nursery. We rounded up our favorite Wes Anderson inspired products for a nursery, baby style, and gifts for mama. Now, all we need to know is – which Wes Anderson movie is your favorite? 

nursery

For the nursery: When we came across this Bill Murray as Wes Anderson character mobile, we knew we had to share it. Quirky? Yes. Amazing? Yes. A must have baby shower gift for your best friend. Looking for wall art? We’re loving this Wes Anderson character print – baby can learn all the character names before their first birthday! The camping crib sheet is totally Anderson inspired and would work in many different nursery themes (gray, woodland). Of course The Fantastic Mr. Fox had to make an appearance, in both a mobile for the nursery and a mod throw pillow too.

style

Baby Style: We think this onesie inspired by The Life Aquatic is super rad, and will you check out the beyond adorable jacket inspired by The Fantastic Mr. Fox? Hello, that bushy tail! Swooning.

mama

For mama: Since mama’s a Wes Anderson fan to begin with, she deserves some quirky gifts as well, like this perfect Anderson coffee mug, or perhaps a Royal Tennenbaums’ tote, or a Grand Budapest Hotel pouch for her mom essentials.

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!
