i was conflicted about doing this post because the one thing i feel weird about is “designing” your kid’s life, or creating a remotely instagrammeable lifestyle for your kid. on the other hand i think some kids things are pretty sweet, and i find myself straying into kidswear departments pretty often now that we are expecting one. we are already receiving thoughtful baby gifts and being asked what the nursery will look like – and a big part of me wants to say hey hey hold your horses, it’s not even out of my body yet, can we NOT do this?
perhaps i just need to get over myself, and that’s where this post come in. i also find myself physically recoiling from a lot of the kids stuff that’s out there these days, so this is also an effort to show that there’s hope at the end of the neon disney shaped tunnel. (try not to roll your eyes too hard at me, parents)
i like all these illustrated decals by Durido:
the cutest simple bedding by Ndoto:
the African mobile has my heart, but all of Patricija’s mobiles are amazing:

all of the Big Stuffed animals are just the best:
