We just received a beautiful delivery from local mom Samara Mahendru who is the woman behind the clothing line Muny. These lovely clothes are hand blocked with eco friendly dyes and 100% cotton (pre-shrunk) and the colors are just exquisite. I can’t wait for the sun to come out again to put one of these dresses on my little one.

The Nui Cotton collection is now at My Brooklyn Baby. These deliciously soft, organic pieces will quickly become your go-to staples for baby and give you one more reason to rub your nose on that cute little belly.

Today was the first day of Baby Breakfast at Habana Outpost and we had a great time (in spite of the rain) making fruit and vegetable prints.
We started out with a variety of fruits and veggies cut in half and just in case the kids decided to taste the “stamps” we used non-toxic, eco-friendly paints from Clementine and Eco Kids.

The rest is easy; apply paint to your choice of vegetable or fruit and stamp on the paper.

The important thing to remember is that kids under 4 are not really making art-it’s about the process so let them explore and experiment. The great thing about this activity is that it is an easy segue into talking about fruits and vegetables; what color is it, how does it smell, how does it feel, what do the seeds look like? Nadia was mostly interested in the different seeds and painting pictures of snails, but she really enjoyed herself which is the most important thing! 
Be sure to stop by Baby Breakfast at Habana Outpost, every Tuesday morning from 10-12 (rain or shine!) And stop by My Brooklyn Baby to find eco-friendly, non-toxic art supplies!
Baby Breakfast is a collaborative effort of My Brooklyn Baby, Sean Meenan and Habana Works for more info about Habana Works, please visit www.habanaworks.org
Last night I found some time to finish off a new batch of hair clips.

Rain boot planters from Rosy ~ Posy
I found this rain boot garden on a sweet blog called Rosy Posy and I am now determined to install a rain boot garden outside of My Brooklyn Baby. But I need boots so, from now until May 1st, you will receive $10 in store credit if you bring in your child’s old boots! You will also have the satisfaction of seeing your old boots growing plants when you walk down Fulton Street and helping My Brooklyn Baby win the Greenest Block in Brooklyn Contest !
