This is the first baby swing I’ve seen that has a canopy attached to it. It almost looks like a glider. Having an indoor swing like this Airy Fairy Baby Swing from Haba will help entertain your children on rainy days or on days when your child may be getting over a cold and needs to stay indoors. If you’re purchasing a swing you want to be sure it’s of good dependable quality with a secure system for attaching the swing to the ceiling.

The Airy Fairy Baby Swing features extra security features to ensure your child fits safely into the swing. It has safety straps in the front and back, a high seat and netting on the back of the seat to help keep your child cool and allows air to circulate.

The polyester fabric is washable. The maximum weight load is 45 lbs. Designed in Germany but you can order yours at oompa.com for $119.99.

The border of this Fairy Birth Announcement by Inviting Smiles says “Thank heaven for little girls!” I was just looking through a line of birth announcements that include baby’s picture and there were certainly many designs to choose from. These Birth Announcements  caught my eye because they look three-dimensional with the watercolor flowers design printed on a vellum overlay and the attached organdy ribbon.

There are several styles from which to choose from at  InvitingSmiles.com, all or most of which are adorned with a vellum overlay and matching organdy ribbon. These announcements are priced at $1.79 each with a minimum order of 25. You can pre-order your baby’s birth announcements or purchase them as a baby shower gift. The new mom will then be able to decide on a design and provide the new baby’s vital information. I think it’s a nice idea for a shower gift because it’s thoughtful and unusual.

Depending on the weather this Halloween, you might want to include a pair of bright pink or orange stockings for your little fairy princess to wear under this delicate Fairy Costume. Made by the Children’s Place, this Fairy dress comes with its own satin-trimmed tulle wings at back and a sweet taffeta covered elasticized headband with flowing satin and organza ribbons. The bodice is elasticized polyester taffeta with a foil-printed design that is sure to sparkle and shine on that fun night.

This Fairy Costume is on sale for just $12.25 - and you know you won’t find a costume like this, at that price at any local costume department or specialty store. Inventory is low, but it is still available in sizes XS, S, and M at ChildrensPlace.com.

Imagine how much easier the Tooth Fairy Pillow by Mullins Square will make your life. No more wrapping a lost tooth in tissue paper and placing it under your child’s pillow, only to find that the tooth has vanished when you tiptoe back in to your child’s room to make the switch.

This specialty pillow, which comes in girl’s and boy’s motifs, has a tooth applique pouch on the front to keep its treasure nice and snug.  Price: $16.00 at Littledragonflies.com.

With swim season upon us and a not quite potty trained two year old, I’m on the lookout for an environmentally-friendly alternative to disposable swim diapers which, in my opinion, don’t seem to work very well anyway. This may well be the most beautiful swim diaper I have ever seen.

Made by Luna Luna Copenhagen, it is absorbent, reusable, and decorated with beautiful flowers. I’m a little afraid that my daughter wouldn’t leave those flowers alone, but the pool may be a big enough distraction. This piece usually retails for $36, but you can buy one on sale now for $25 at itsaragdollslife.com.
