Five Trendiest Baby Accessories

Jessica • Jan 30, 2017

*All opinions are 100% my own. Brands featured in post provided me with product for this review

If you know me, have read my blog, follow me on Instagram, or especially if you have been to my home, you know that I lean towards minimalism. Its not because I watched that popular Nextflix documentary and its not something that I just started to participate in because its trendy, its simply because I am cheap. I am one of the cheapest people you will ever meet in your life. Pretty much, if it isn’t essential to life, it isn’t important enough to spend money on. Yes, I am cheap, and I guess, a little crazy too.

So, although I am crazy cheap and my home is filled with 90% essentials, I do sometimes indulge and 95% of the indulging I do is, you guessed it, for my kids. I have defiantly indulged on their toy room and toy collection , although, most of the toys they have are gifts. I also indulge at H&M regularly, because I just love to dress them. And of course, it is so hard not to indulge just a little on this baby rolling around in my belly. I don’t know why baby stuff is just so cute and so hard to pass up, even with my iron will of cheapness. So here it is, my favorite trendy baby accessories that even the cheapest mom will want to buy.

Five Trendiest Baby Accessories

1. Finn and Emma Play Gym – If you are on Instagram, you have seen this cute little play gym. It is so much better than the cheap plastic ones sold at every big box store because it is made of wood and won’t be an eye sore in your living room. The toys that hang from the gym are either knit or wooden and very good quality. The best part is that Finn and Emma offer so many different color and theme options so you can defiantly find one to match your nursery. You can pick up this really cute play gym for your little one at Finnandemma.com.

2. Milestone Baby Cards – This is perfect if you are like me and you can never ever keep up with a baby book. Milestone baby cards are basically a deck of flash cards to mention a milestone your baby will eventually hit and when he or she does, you take a picture of your little one holding the flashcard of that milestone. This, my friends, is genius and soooo much easier than keeping up with a baby book. You can get yourself a deck of Milestone Baby Cards from Milestone-World.com

3. Binxy Baby Shopping Hammock – This is a perfect item for mama’s who have their hands full, but still have to get shiz done. I am a big advocate for baby wearing and that is what I usually do in the grocery store, but lets be honest, somedays our backs just aren’t feeling it and this is a fantastic back-up plan when you are stuck pushing around a grocery cart. The Binxy Baby shopping hammock allows you to put larger kids in the front of the shopping cart and safely lay your infant in the hammock at the back of the shopping cart and still have room for all of your groceries. You can find your own Binxy Baby Shopping Hammock at BinxyBaby.com

4. Lorena Canals Washable Rugs – A washable rug is a game changer in our house. Lets face it, carpets and rugs rarely stay clean in our house. Its either markers and crayons, dirty shoes, or the dreaded potty accident, it doesn’t matter, something is always bound to leave a stain on our carpets. Now we have an amazing rug in our nursery that is soft, stylish, and washable. Thank you Lorena Canals for making this mama’s life just that much easier. You can shop for your own rug at LorenaCanals.us

5. Doc-a-Tot – Speaking of making a mama’s life easier, this item right here is my favorite for doing just that, making life easier. This little bed can be carried around with you to every room in the house, so that no matter where you are, the baby has a comfy place to rest. It has enough padding that the baby can comfortably sleep on the floor, but it also has a special, extra safe, fabric that makes this the perfect item for co-sleeping with your infant. To learn more about how amazing the Doc-a-Tot is and to get your own, visit DockaTot.com.

So there it is, my list of the trendiest baby accessories that even the most frugal mama will want to go out and buy today.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

Glaze Family Update + A New Favorite Product WaterWipes

By Jessica • 14 Jul, 2019
Four kids, I have four kids! Sometimes (well, every day if I’m being honest) I have to remind myself that I have FOUR kids to be responsible for. If I’m not forgetting to keep an eye on my mischievous 2-year-old, then I’m walking out the door for dinner without dropping a jar of baby food into my bag. (Fries for dinner never hurt anyone, right? That’s what Mr. August survives on once a week at least.) Life as a parent can be chaotic sometimes. #thisisparenthood Thank God my two older kiddos are basically self-sufficient otherwise we would never be able to leave the house. Being responsible for four other human beings (Sometimes five if my husband is in town, am I right ladies?) is so hard!

How To Prepare Your Kitchen For The Holidays With Frigidaire

By Jessica • 18 Nov, 2017
It’s no secret that I am no fan of winter. If you live up north like we do now, you know just how cold, cold is and I can barely survive the frozen temperatures. Even though I would happily leave behind the cold, but there is nothing I love more than Thanksgiving and Christmas! Best holidays of the year, hands down!

Away We Go, Again

By Jessica • 13 Sep, 2017
It has been three years since we left behind our life in California. Three years since we made the announcement that we were moving to Canada. Three years since we started a new adventures as immigrants in a country that is so close to home, yet so very different. And now, after three life changing years, we are on to our next adventure.

The Dreaded Sleep Transition

By Jessica • 30 Aug, 2017
Eli is 5.5 months old, rolling left to right and every other which way, so that means it’s time to ditch the swaddle. *Que the ugly cry.* If you didn’t know, we love swaddling in our home. Rusty and I can count the number of times we have ever had to wake up more than twice a night with one of the three kiddos on our fingers and we thank swaddling for that luck. We start swaddling from day one and we use that as a basis to establish great sleep habits from the beginning that last forever. Sadly, once the skill of rolling is learned, it is no longer safe to swaddling and the transition from swaddled to un-swaddled can be rough. Thankfully, we found the Nested Bean sleep sack this time around and the swaddled/un-swaddled transition has gone perfectly smooth.

Kids’ Cam – Toronto’s Center Island

By Jessica • 28 Aug, 2017
The Glaze Brigade spent the second to last official weekend of summer (which is kind of a joke because summer never actually arrived here in the GTA) at Center Island and we loved it! I’m actually a little bummed that we have lived here for 3 years and only just decided to make the trip on the ferry over to the island.

Two Must Have Items to Fully Enjoy Summer With an Infant

By Jessica • 14 Aug, 2017
We are just three weeks away from the start of the next school year and I am so not ready! There is nothing I love more than the freedom of summer. No school schedules to follow, flexible bedtimes, endless weekend adventures, and daily trips to wherever we can get some sunshine. Sadly, all of that is about to end and I am already planning our next summer.

Rainy Day Fun with Erin Mills Town Centre

By Jessica • 24 Jul, 2017
Since moving to Toronto, the best part of summer is getting outside. Our days are usually filled with trips to the playground, our near by amusement park, riding our scooters around the neighborhood, or taking a fun road trip, but even in the summer, there are days we are stuck inside. Sometimes we spend those rainy days cuddled on the couch, watching a movie and eating junk food, but another fun rainy day activity we enjoy is visiting our local mall.

5 Tasks That Help Teach Personal Responsibility to 1st Graders with Quaker Oats #OvernightSuccess

By Jessica • 21 Jun, 2017
I was just a little surprised to learn that Carter would be starting kindergarten, at the ripe old age of 3, just a few months after moving to Canada. I considered putting her in a preschool a few days a week, but never did I think I would be sending her to an all day, every day, kindergarten class in a school that holds kids up to the 8th grade. Cue the mommy freak out. Of course, Carter loved it and I had nothing to do worry about.

Sleeping Sound Thanks to Owlet Baby Care

By Jessica • 12 Jun, 2017
My middle child, Monroe, was born with a severe tongue tie, it was actually so severe that he couldn’t swallow. For the first week of his life, we had no idea that his entire tongue was attached to the bottom of his mouth (behind his bottom gums), but over and over again he would choke and sometimes even turn blue. Rusty or I or a nurse would have to suction his airway to get things cleared out. It was the scariest time for me as a parent.

How to Encourage Fathers to Become Hands On Dads

By Jessica • 17 May, 2017
Facebook is filled with groups of moms complaining about the lack of help they get from their husbands. Either dad has never changed a diaper, he doesn’t help pick up toys, dad doesn’t help discipline, or he flat out cannot keep the kids alive if he is left alone. I understand that it can be completely frustrating to get no help from the one person that should be helping you the most, so I am going to share with you a few tips that I’ve used to encourage my husband to be a hands on dad.
