Mix & Match Nursery on a Budget

We're back! It's been a while since we have posted, but we are planing on getting back into the blogging game! Keep an eye out for our future posts, and make sure to follow us (Facebook, Instagram) to stay up to day on the BOB latest!

Creating a Shabby Chic Nursery on a Budget!

Source: https://www.decorpad.com/designers/Lay-Baby-Lay

If you're like us, you love: a) shopping local and b) some good old shabby chic furniture. We could spend hours (and probably have) browsing some shops though Facebook like Ramshackled Treasures (Zimmerman, MN) and Second Hand Rose (Buffalo, MN). A good chunk of our store displays actually came from Second Hand Rose, and they are just too cute.

Bringing this shabby chic look into your nursery is totally doable, and its super easy!

The Crib:

Start by finding the perfect crib for your nursery. If you are looking for something cute and simple, try the Jenny Lind crib. This style is wildly popular and you can mix and match with any style. Go for a classy, simple look, or try something a bit bolder by choosing a pop of color for the crib.

The Dresser: 

When you are looking for a dresser, try to find one that is at a comfortable height so it can double as a changing table. We recommend using the Peanut Changer (found here) on top because it is non-slip and waterproof so you don't need a changing box. Of course, storage is key, especially if you want your pieces to grow with your child. The options are endless, and it can be a lot of fun to shop around. 

Shop Brook cribs here: http://babysonbroadway.com/shop/#!/Davinci-Brook-4-in-1-Convertible-Crib/p/77619243/category=18531264

You are sure to find some unique pieces, so have fun making them a focal point of your room! Armoires are a great way to add more style and storage to your room. 

Shop Asher cribs here: http://babysonbroadway.com/shop/#!/Davinci-Asher-3-in-1-Convertible-Crib/p/77485236/category=18531264

2. Austlen Baby Co. Entourage

The minivan of strollers has arrived!

I'm a practical mom. I like to get as much use out of ANYTHING I purchase. I do not see a need, for unnecessary things.

Take the grocery store for example.

Get your kid in a stroller, grab a basket, fill up the basket and still not have enough room for everything you need. Proceed to checkout with a screaming child, an overfilled cheap grocery basket and grey hair, already starting to sprout from your head.

No Thank You.

Welcome into my chaotic filled life, the Entourage.

Where have you been all my life? This stroller is BANANAS.

150 lbs. of kid and cargo capacity and more than 30 configurations, the Entourage gives you the freedom to go and do.

Whoa, wait...You not only hold 150 pounds, but you have over 30 configurations??

Hello "Market Tote"

Hello "Cargo Bag (that expands!)"

Hello "Second Seat"

Hello "Sit and Stand"

Hello "3 stage expansion" Retracted-Intermediate-Expanded

You need to watch this thing in action to get what I mean.

It's AMAZING.

Retails for: $849.00

6. Baby Bum Brush

We LOVE the Baby Bum Brush here at Baby's on Broadway, and we think it is a must-have for all parents. Not only will this product keep your fingers diaper cream-free, it will also prevent bacteria from being transferred to baby's bum. Did you know you are supposed to wash your hands before applying diaper cream? It makes sense--fingers are full of germs and bacteria--but it is not always practical to run to the sink in the middle of a diaper change. Using the Baby Bum Brush will keep baby's bum--and your fingers-- clean. Keep one at home and one in the diaper bag for on-the-go, you will be glad you did. Get one (or two) for yourself and your friends. This is one product you didn't know you needed, but, like we hear all the time, once you use it you will be saying every mom needs one.

Fall in Love With New Nursing Brand Bebe Au Lait

Here at Baby's on Broadway, we are always searching for mom-tested and mom-approved products to bring to our customers to make their lives a little bit easier. Well, for all the breastfeeding moms out there, we have found a brand that we love and know you will too. Bébé au Lait  (which roughly translates to "baby with milk!") is known for their patented Rigiflex Technology in their nursing covers, and they now make a whole line of nursing covers, nursing pillows, and bibs. Keep reading to find out why we love each of their products!

Nursing Covers (Premium Cotton: $36; Premium Muslin: $38; Essentials Set Cotton: $50; Essentials Set Muslin: $52)

Bebe au Lait combines function and style with their mom-designed nursing covers. They are larger than typical covers and are made from high quality 100% cotton or cotton muslin fabrics in a variety of stylish patterns. The adjustable neckline makes these covers truly one size fits all, and they are machine washable for easy care. Two interior terrycloth pockets for easy cleanup and storage add to the functionality, but what makes these nursing covers unique is their patented Rigiflex Technology neckline. A stiff yet flexible neckline allows mom (and only mom) to see baby while feeding, and it lets baby have some ventilation to stay cool. You can get this cover by itself or in a Nursing Essentials set that includes a nursing cover and 2 matching cotton burp cloths perfectly contoured to fit on your shoulder.

Nursing Pillows ($55)

Another product made by a nursing mom, Bebe au Lait's nursing pillow is the ultimate nursing pillow in function. Its open shape allows it to fit any mom, and the adjustable waist strap easily buckles to keep the pillow in place while feeding. The waist strap can double as a carrying strap in addition to the handle to allow easy carrying. Two outside pockets let you store burp cloths, pacifiers, and anything else you need quick and easy access to while feeding. These pillows are designed to be the optimum height for feeding, plus it is dual sides so you can choose between soft and firm. And, just like their nursing covers, both the pillow and the removable cover are machine washable. 

Quadruple Bib ($14)

The Quadruple Bib is another genius product, featuring 4 clean surfaces--two absorbent terrycloth and two printed cotton.  This bib actually closes in front by overlapping two of the surfaces and uses magnets to snap shut, making it easier to put on take off.  Plus, because of the magnets, you can just store these bibs right on your fridge! Again, clean up is super easy--just toss it in the washer! 

We are so excited to bring this amazing brand to you, and we hope you love it as much as we do! Visit us to see the stylish patterns we have in stock of each of these products and try them out today!
