This season I visited some family friends, and a good friend of mine (close to my age), had a baby girl in July. Well we have not seen her since even before she was pregnant, so today I got to see her little bunny. And then I spent all day yesterday with 3 little monkeys who are girls ranging from 4-9, and who love me and my sister. But my sister was not there yesterday, it was just me… and man was I pooped. I was trying to convince them that we should all take a nap. They were not having it and said ” We don’t take naps anymore- we are NOT babies!” Oh little ones, I love taking naps- you will see they are the best.
I love kids, I LOVE babies, and I would love to shop for a baby! My friend said oh my goodness, can you imagine how you would dress your kid…they would be super co-ordinated and just too cute. I could only imagine! : )
Here is a little wishlist for me for the distant…distant future (seriously I am not kidding). Don’t get me wrong I want kids- just not yet, but I can dream of the accessories and furniture can’t I?
1. Bugaboo meets Missoni Bee…need I say more? 2. I love the idea of a round crib, I feel like it keeps everything more open. 3. I would also really like a dresser that could grow with my child over time. Something that I can refinish/repaint/reuse. 4. I am a designer, I will not have a traditional “Glider Rocker”. This one I love, wood grain detail, and a lumbar pillow in maybe one of my favourite fabrics of all time? Yes please. Bonus- made in Canada baby! 5. I love mobiles, they are the cutest thing ever, and are beautiful! 6. Super space age like cool! 7. Art is a must! 8. Anything Jonathan Adler for babies! 9. Beautiful printed hampers and baskets. 10. Anything Dwell Studio Baby!
Let us know items that all you mama’s out there swear by!

Love all your picks! When I had my first baby it was really nice that our friends and family bought us pretty much everything we needed, but unfortunately that means that pretty much everything we have is ugly (really hoping that none of my friends/family are reading this!) and nothing co-ordinates with anything! Really wish now that I had put together a wish-list like this back then!
shoes from nordstrom! my little sister just birthed a child, and i always default to the british looking baby shoes from nordstrom.

The lamps are the best – even without a baby I can see that in my bedroom.
