We’ve recently partnered up with some fellow stylish bloggers to bring you a weekly dose of cool web finds for your weekend reading. This week’s treats include:

A very fetching round up of the best-fitting, figure-flattering maternity jeans, from SheFindsMom. Kudos for Babyproofing Your Marriage, from OneChicMama. Tips on how to use color to inspire kids, from Coochicoos. The peaceful deal behind the names of Angelina Jolie’s kids, from CelebrityMoms. And the baby photo of the week, from Babyfaces.

Express Yourself

The parenting journey thus far has made it clear that little people have passions. Laurel and her friends have long shown fierce devotion to certain areas of play and expression, whether it is art or song or books or trains.

Now you can express your child’s passion via YoonKids, a collection of hip, customized wall art suitable for babies to tweens. YoonKids allow for the ultimate expression of kids’ passions and diversity; choose a themed kid (e.g., girl drummer), background color, hair and skin color (hooray!), and canvas size. YoonKids currently are available in girl designs; the boy line is forthcoming. Other collections include the Yoonies, an endearing series of chubby, wobbly critters (pick a character, background color, and size), and the Silhouettes line, which features classic imagery - such as the gorgeous, vibrant Bird Tree (shown) - styled with modern graphics in cool color palettes.
Each piece is custom made through a giclée printing process; water-resistant canvas is stretched over sturdy frames and finished with an ecologically friendly coating that protects against sun and water damage. Two sizes are available (9"x12" for $85, 18"x18" for $150), and you can add a name and birth date to your artwork for an additional $10 each.

Uncommonly Cute

Is it a complete sign of regression that I want one of these super cute UncommonGoods Animal Lamps ($20) for myself? These paper lamp pals are about 8 inches long x 6 inches wide and come in the form of frog, piggy, puppy, kitty, and monkey. A 25W bulb is included.

Pillow Talk

Nothing dresses up a room and hides baby-induced stains quicker and more economically than throw pillows. Pier 1 Imports has a dizzying array of eye-popping pillows, such as the fresh and fabulous Loft 21 Floral Pillow (shown). This pillow is priced at the higher end of Pier 1’s collection ($30), but you can snatch up sale pillows for as low as $5-10.

Head over to a local store, or check out the collection online; the online search engine (keyword: “pillows”) also leads you to coordinating décor selections.
