Wow. Twelve months. How did we get here?! It boggles my mind all the time. Happy to share my twelve month must haves before GBB turns 13 months old! Eeee! Officially starting year 2 with our bugaboo.
Megabloks: These are a huge hit with kids + I was so over the moon happy when George was gifted these beauties from one of my favourite people, Auntie Tina (thanks Tines!). I love that GBB and I can sit and play with these all day long. They are such a wonderful toy because you can literally do anything with them. Not gonna lie, George has been pushing them around and making the sweetest “vroom vroom” sound. I, on the other hand, have been creating castles and robots and I’m having so much fun, ha, #nerdalert. These blocks are bright colours + perfect for little hands. As I have mentioned before, GBB is a big fan of death-gripping his toys, so you better believe he likes to death-grip these puppies + carry them around everywhere. Megabloks.
Skip Hop Water Bottle: I had been on the hunt for the perfect water bottle for George as it is hot hot hot in Toronto + staying hydrated is key! I had a few rubbermaid straw bottles but GBB had a tendency to hulk-smash the living daylight out of them and they never lasted longer than two weeks…I honestly kept buying them and finally gave up on them. My little baby Hulk. ANYWAY. This straw bottle is the cutest and is durable like, woah. GBB still hulk-smashes it but it stays put + I love that it has a velcro strap so I can attach it to the stroller if I need to. Yep, my bubs also likes to throw everything. There are so many cute designs and it was so hard to choose just one. I wanted them all! These are perfect for back-to-school + they have matching lunch boxes and thermoses!!! Skip Hop Water Bottle.
Nudnik Trousers: Okay. You guys. These lightweight trousers are the bomb dot com. It’s been very warm here in Toronto so we haven’t been able to wear them as much as we’d like but we were finally able to put these badboys on when we went camping and they were a dream (and insanely adorable!). They were perfect for around the campfire and you better believe they will be a fall staple around here! Nudnik is a new Toronto kids clothing company that is launching Wednesday August 17th (in TWO days! Stay tuned to HBXO + you’ll have a chance to score a piece or two…)! Each piece of clothing is cut + sewn together from a variety of gently worn, adult sized t-shirts and sweatshirts! No two Nudnik garments are the exact same. Eco-friendly, sustainable fashion for our little ones is where it’s at! The two lady bosses/masterminds behind the label are the most inspiring + kind-hearted ladies I’ve ever met. Nudnik.
Skip Hop Spout Cover: George graduated from his little inflatable tub + has been rocking out the bath time lately. He is a very curious and quick little dude and I knew I had to ensure that the tub was extra safe. Not only is this spout cover cute (and totally goes with our Boon Whale Toy Pod) but it is also durable and soft! No bonked noggins in this house…well, during bath time anyway. Love this little whale! Skip Hop Spout Cover.
Battat B Wheeee-ls Cars: George was spoiled by his dear friend Winter + received these cars for his birthday! Y’all know how much I adore this brand + these cars are no exception. They’re sturdy. They’re soft. They’re cute. And when you pull them back they drive forward quickly and George loves to chase them, whether he is speed-crawling or working on his walk (which by the way, the walking game is strong with this one). I recommend these cars to all the littles that love to “vroom vroom” everything all around the house. Battat B Wheee-ls Cars.
Honest Co. Hand Sanitizer: Can you tell how loyal I am to brands that I love? Ha. This hand sanitizer spray is the best because it is so easy to apply, smells great, and is not full of toxic chemicals. I’m a firm believer in getting messy and building one’s immune system but sometimes, ya gotta hand sanitize. Especially in the city. And especially when your little one wants to put everything and its mother in their mouth. This stuff travels with me everywhere. Honest Co. Hand Sanitizer.
