At the 2009 ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas, Nevada last month Cotton Tale Designs launched six new patterns and reintroduced eleven patterns that were originally introduced at the Louisville show.
Cotton Tale Designs Crib Bedding sets include a four sectioned bumper, crib skirt, sheet and comforter. What we love about Cotton Tale Designs line of crib bedding are the matching accessories, such as hampers, valances, toy bags, picture frames, pillows, diaper stackers, musical mobiles, crib blankets, lamps, wall art and the new addition of rugs. The various Cotton Tale Design accessories provide a one stop affordable way to decorate your baby nursery.

Great Baby Crib Buying Guide Tips on About.com that we wanted to share with you from Heather Corley. I know that when we were looking for my daughter’s cribs many of these tips on buying a baby crib would have been helpful and thought you might find it of interest.

My youngest daughter’s crib was bought at Bellini (see below). Expensive but beautiful.
Little Butterfly Kiss is always on the lookout for non toxic products for our little ones. At the 2009 ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas Nevada we heard that Too Good is in a licensing deal with Pem America.
If you were not aware celebrity Jenny McCarthy is behind Too Good. The new licensing deal with Pem America is for a line of affordable, non-toxic infant and juvenile products, including bedding, bath, room décor and newborn gift sets.
Today LittleButterflyKiss attended the 2009 ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Exhausting day but it was really fun seeing all the new and exciting products. Some of today’s 2009 ABC Kids Show highlights:

All new parents have many different items to purchase for the arrival of their little ones, including a Diaper Bag. With all the different styles of Diaper Bags choosing the right bag can be challenging. I hope the following tips help you find a Diaper Bag that will make all your outings easy.
1. Determine Your Budget. Many affordable bags can be for under $40, though you may sacrifice some choices in color and styles. For parents-to-be with a more flexible budget, a variety of designers labels bags are available.
2. Select a Style. Messenger, totes and backpacks are among the many styles of diaper bags available today. Think about whether you will be using the bag daily or for long trips. Decide whether you want a bag you can use while handling multiple children or one that could easily coordinate with your office attire. You may also want to consider who will be carrying the Diaper Bag most of the time. Fathers may resist carrying a pink polka-dot bag, and there are many styles, neutral choices available to suit both parents.
3. Compare Features. Diaper bags should have plenty of compartments to store your baby essentials but not so many that you get tied up searching through lots of pockets just to find your keys. Many bags come with insulated compartments for bottles, changing pads, cell phone pockets and key rings. Decide whether the accessibility of snaps or the security of zippers closures best matches your needs.
I have two kids and have always had more than one diaper bag. I started with a backpack styles that was big enough to hold all the items that a new infant would need. When she got older and I realized I didn’t need half the things I had with me. Then, I purchased a smaller tote size bag. I also kept a changing pad, diapers and wipes in the car at all times.
