Tiny Trends - Bibdanas!

One of my favorite, and first, baby trends I have come across is the bibdana. What is a bibdana, you may ask? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like - a bandana and a bib hybrid of sorts. It's a super cute trend anyone can try on infants and toddlers alike. They are simple and easy to pair with just about anything!

Our fave bibdanas over here in our household are from Drooly Scrumptious! Fun fact: The first shop Miles was picked to rep for was Drooly Scrumptious. I have been buying from them since Miles was about 6 months old. These bibs are functional, just like a traditional bib, but are a little edgier for your fashionable little dude or diva! Drooly Scrumptious makes amazing quality bibdanas and scarf bibs for an affordable price!

And I haven't even told you the best part - they are reversible and machine washable! That's right! so every bandana bib is like 2-in-1. So you can be trendy on a budget, what every mama loves!

Here are some pics of Miles in his bandana bibs and scarf bib - for a little outfit inspiration. Enjoy! 

I love the remix triangle. Perfect for boys or girls!

Camo scarf bib for the win! 

Ninja turtles has always been one of Miles's faves! (Woah, FLASHBACK!)

Drooly Scrumptious even features Holiday bandana bibs! Right now in the shop you can get some bibdanas for your little sweetie or hunk for Valentine's Day!

 

Lumberjack is a classic! Miles has worn this one more times than I can count. Super cute and goes with just about anything!

Baby personal care products - my top 5!

Hey y'all! So tonight I'm super thankful for the new Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb that I was introduced to by LUSH Cosmetics! Why, you ask? Because the calming nature of adding this little guy to the tub has seemed to help my little man chill out and relax before bed time. I am all about health and personal care products for little ones. I think it is important to influence our tiny humans to take care of themselves! My mama was, and still is, forever caring for her skin, hair, and nails. So now, as an adult, I find myself trying to do the best to take care of what my mama gave me. And now, without further adieu, my top 5 tiny tots personal care products!

Number 1: Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb from LUSH Cosmetics
Infused with lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood oils, this baby will always be number one on my list! Shaped like a super cute robot that fizzes when you put him in the bath, this bath bomb will help your little one calm down and relax for bedtime. Plus, he turns the water blue! How cool?!

Number 2: Babyganics - shampoo + body wash, chamomile verbena

Since having Miles, I feel like I've tried every baby body wash on the block. I LOVE this one! Babyganics products are all natural and made with natural ingredients. This foaming wash smells great and is super safe for baby too. Miles loves that it foams up making him want to wash all by himself! 

Number 3: The Honest Co. Wipes

From everything like changing diapers, to messy little hands, these wipes steal the show. Using the most advanced technology, they are made stronger and thicker than normal wipes. They are made with all plant based ingredients so not only are they good for your tiny messes, but they are good for the Earth too!

Number 4: Burt's Bees Baby Bee Multipurpose Ointment

This amazing, all natural, petroleum free ointment is perfect for everyday use! Use it when changing baby's diaper, or to get rid of any pesky little cheek blemishes. I love the smell and feel of this ointment. Since it is petroleum free, it is smooth and silky, not sticky like other ointments. Throw it in your diaper bag or purse for on the go use!

Number 5: California Baby Super Sensitive Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30

As mamas, we all know the importance of sunscreen on our little ones. I love this one because once again it is all natural (are you seeing a pattern here) and fragrance free. I buy the super sensitive version just for extra protection of my baby's skin. He is slightly sensitive to some personal care products, so I'd rather be safe than sorry! If you try this amazing sunscreen out, it will not disappoint! 

There you have it! My top 5 baby "beauty" products! Hope you enjoyed and try some of these products out on your little babe! When you go to grab them from the store, tell them mama Manda sent you! Much love. x 

Tiny Tribe Apparel

I'll never forget that day. I was nervous. Not because of fear, but because of joy. I knew. I just knew. And when that little pink stripe showed up I REALLY knew. I found out I was pregnant with my honeymoon baby in early August. I was ecstatic. So I did what all new moms do; I got to online searching and shopping for the newest trends for my little one. And pretty soon, a whole new world opened up for me. I was introduced to this community of mamas who had small shops with the trendiest of clothes and accessories for baby boys and girls. I enjoyed window shopping (I let gender be a surprise! YES, I waited until my Miles was born to find out he was a boy!) and imagining little outfits in my head. On April 2, 2013, I gave birth to Miles Blake.

He was the most beautiful of baby boys, and he continues to get more beautiful each day. I have always loved trends and "now" fashion, but becoming a mom gave me a new outlet to the source. I wanted to style my little baby in the hippest of clothes. Then I had a moment of "I could totally do this". So now here we are. I'm nervous and excited for this journey, but hey, you've got to start somewhere. Here is my first tee, which my wonderful, supportive husband, so lovingly printed for me! 

If you are interested in our products you can give us a look over at tinytribeapparel.bigcartel.com! We have hand drawn, hand printed, original designs. Our shirts come in sizes for everyone in your tiny tribe. (Infant-Adult) We hope to see you at the shop soon! I will post new designs as they come. Follow us on instagram @tinytribeapparel, and like us on Facebook!

I'm so excited to see where this journey takes me. Life is about chasing your dreams and taking risks. Now, back to the drawing pad. 

A little about me.

Well Hello there! As said in my description, my name is Amanda. I am 26 years old and I currently reside in Louisiana with my husband and my 21 month old son, Miles. My husband is a teacher and football coach. Me and Miles are his number one fans and supporters. I am currently in my last semester of college and I am studying to become an evolutionary biologist (I know, right). It keeps my brain fried and my sleep schedule wacky. I started to get into kid trends from following some fellow mamas on Instagram. I have always had a passion for fashion, but having a little one has taken it to a whole new level. I love styling my little man and he loves posing for pictures for me to post. With this blog, I hope to inspire other mamas out there who have little fashion babes like mine! I also will be blogging about life and such (I like to talk), so I hope all you lovely people will enjoy that too! I'll be brainstorming some ideas over the next few weeks! If you have any suggestions or topics you would like me to discuss, let me know! Thanks for stopping by!
