Blabla Kids

A few weeks ago, two Blabla knitted plushies came to our house. And boy were we happy campers. I say "we" because I fell madly in love with these things, too. I don't know what it is about them. Maybe it's their fat squishy bodies? Maybe it's their cuteness factor? Maybe it's how well made they are? Whatever it is, I'm, err, my child, no wait, we are hooked. 

One of the Blabla plushies we received was Celeste. In my opinion she looks just like Adrienne. It's hilarious. She has short brown hair with thick little bangs and blue eyes, just like her new mommy. Plus, they are both pretty plump. 

Adrienne was all up in arms because I wouldn't let her play with her new Blablas right away. I know. I'm awful. I had to take their pictures first. There are always rules. After I pried them from my deprived child's hands, I took Celeste and her travel friend River to my room to put them up for just a day or so. I realize that's about twenty years in kid time. #childrenofmommybloggerprobs.

That night, a funny feeling came over me. When I was getting ready for bed I had this strange urge to sleep with these plushies. It was like they were calling out to snuggle. I knew my other half would think I had gone off the deep end, so I didn't bring them into our bed. 

Anyohtobeachildagain, I did tip-toe them into Adrienne's bedroom and placed them into her sleeping arms. I felt bad for making her wait to cuddle them. Plus, I just knew they would bring her magical dreams of unicorns and kittens shopping in a toy store. I'm sure they did.

Thank you Blabla for creating such amazing playmates for children.

Rag Dolls


Our household is obsessed with Bonnie, a handmade doll from Milipa. She came all the way from Italy just to be best friends with Adrienne. And bffs are just what they are. Those two have been pretty much inseparable. 

When Adrienne opened the package, she screamed, "Bonnie! My Bonnie!" I was like, whaa? You remembered her name? We hadn't talked about the dolly since the day we picked her out. Are three year olds supposed to have long term memory? I didn't know.

Anyhoo, my child has fallen in love with Bonnie, as have we. Even her daddy said she was one of the prettiest dollies he has ever seen. You just can't beat handmade. And all Milipa's toys are just that. The detail in their plushes are incredible. From rag dolls, to stuffed mice and clouds, each is beautifully original.

Here are a few of the photos of the two new best frands. I have a feeling they will be close for a very long time. And check out that packaging little Bonnie came in. It's like a straight old school parcel from the streets of Italy. ::swoon::








Post script- My grandfather was from Italy, so this doll means a lot to me, too. I love how Bonnie will be one of those timeless keepsakes. One my child and I will cherish forever. Be sure to check out Milipa and fall in love. There is also a Milipa Facebook page for more cuteness on the regular!
