Tiffani Thiessen’s Nursery Collection: PetitNest

A few months ago I featured Tiffani Thiessen’s nursery. And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she had teamed up with award-winning designer Lonni Paul (you may know her as a finalist on HGTV’s “Design Star”) to launch a nursery collection that was going to knock the design communities’ socks off!

Well folks, meet PetitNest.

We express ourselves every day through style: From what we wear to where we live. What could be a more personal reflection of who you are than your baby’s room? We want to give parents the freedom to express themselves and to create a room that is a true reflection of who they are. Rather than worrying about whether you need to go all-pink or all-blue, pick a color you love and design the whole room around that. Then you can truly make it your own,” recommends Tiffani Thiessen.

PetitNest is made with durability in mind. The chairs, dressers and gliders from the collection are designed to become a permanent part of your home and can seamlessly transition from the nursery into the family room or a bedroom. The PetitNest collection is also eco-friendly and certified by the Sustainable Furnishings Council.

Rockin’ Baby Sling: Wear your Baby with Style!

Baby Slings are the trendiest and most convenient accessory for any new mom. It provides a nurturing environment for breastfeeding, baby is calmer and feels secure because of the closeness to you and it can be worn much longer than a traditional baby carrier (up to 40 lbs. vs 25 lbs.).

But just because you’re now wearing a baby, doesn’t mean that you aren’t as chic as ever! Rockin’ Baby was launched in 2002 by 2 moms that wanted to wear their babies but didn’t want to sacrifice their style.

Rockin' Baby Sling : Reversible

Based in Los Angeles, California, all of the products sold by Rockin’ Baby are made locally. They are also pre-washed to set colors and all of their edges are overlocked then seamed twice to ensure no tearing. Best of all, they use low impact dyes for their prints and their material is 100% certified organic cotton.

Rockin' Baby Sling Adjustable Ring

Rockin’ Baby carries slings and pouches in a variety of colors and prints to ensure that everyone will find one that fits their style. And did we mention that the slings and pouches are reversible? They are made with a hip pattern on one side and a dad-friendly solid color on the other. Easily adjustable, both mom and dad can wear baby and still rock it!

But don’t just take our word for it! Parenting Magazine has called Rockin’ Baby “a must-have” and it was an Editor’s Pick in both Fit Pregnancy and Pregnancy Magazine. And celebrities like Gwen Stefani and Brooke Burke have been photographed wearing their Rockin’ Baby slings (more Press here).
