We have an assortment of summer toddler blankets available in our store now. Check them out. Don't forget the matching pillowcases!

We'll be introducing our Summer blankets this Saturday at the Belmont Spring Craft Faire. See the previous post below for details about the Faire. Stop on by! Free gift with each purchase.

Summer blankets are made from 1 layer of 100% cotton flannel. Like an extra large swaddling blanket, these will keep baby cool and comfortable during the warmer months. Summer blankets do not have a satin handle.

Making a better toddler lunch

Recently, my 4 year old's school lunch has gotten into a rut. He wanted the same soy butter sandwich or macaroni and cheese each school day. Each time, more and more of it would return home uneaten.

I happened to come across a Bento lunch box site called Lunch in a Box. It was everything I had been looking for! I never realized exactly what a bento was till now. The whole concept of a bento is so perfect for a 4 year old -- lunch would consist of a few bites of a variety of foods to keep things interesting. Add the cuteness factor and I was completely sold on the idea. This website was a real inspiration and it got me excited to make my preschooler's lunch. I even ventured farther and made my husband a lunch for work for the first time in 5 years!

Check out my 2nd bento lunch for my preschooler. Fish shaped sandwich with cream cheese, turkey, and cheese. Salami rolls on a pick, grapes, a small container of Kasugai Roasted Green Peas, a hard boiled egg shaped like a car and dyed purple, and finally 2 orange wedges. He loved it!
