The Green Vine original modern “Snug-A-Bug Blankets” Minky* Blanket is made from super soft chocolate Minky-Dot backed with a bold green and cream vine pattern.

The Orange Berry Minky Blanket is made from super soft chocolate Minky-Dot backed with a bold orange, yellow, and cream leaf and berry pattern.

Both blankets measures approximately 25inches long by 20inches wide, (64×51cm), and topped with cuddly soft minky diamond fabric. They are the perfect size for a car-seat, stroller, bassinet, or baby swing.

Finally, after much searching, I was able to find some more fabric for both the Sock Monkey and Animal Cracker Blankets.

The Sock Monkey blanket is red cotton backed with Monkey fur-like chocolate minky. Animal Crackers is available with lavender, yellow, or denim minky and has a cute modern print with giraffes, hippos, and tigers.

You can buy these and my new styles for spring at my Snug-A-Bug Blankets Etsy shop.

We have a filter to improve the taste of our water and I bought a couple Sigg bottles for me, Jay and Georgia. They are made from aluminum and don’t leach into your beverage, which makes them a great alternative to plastic. I picked our bottles up at http://www.reusablebags.com/

They also carry Klean Kanteen. The Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel Sippy Cup includes a 12 oz stainless steel bottle, a sippy adapter and two Avent sippy spouts. which means you don’t need to worry about your toddler and bisphenol-a, BPA.

It comes in sage green or chocolate brown minkee. The print is a modern avocado green with yellow, red, white and pink dove-like birds.

You can get yours at the Snug-A-Bug Blankets Etsy shop.

The Damask print is a Robin’s-egg blue with chocolate brown print. It is backed with chocolate Minky-Dot and topped with Minky-Diamond.

For the first time time at Snug-A-Bug you can buy it in a gift set with a matching bib. The bib has the same modern damask print and is backed with Chocolate Minkee-Dot and trimmed in brown.

Julia Roberts began the the trend when she became pregnant with twins in 2004. Since then, stars like Jennifer Garner, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Minnie Driver, and Jessica Alba, have all started their families. The celebrities who have taken family life to the extreme are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Their ever expanding family includes 2 boys and 2 girls, and if you believe current celebrity gossip, twins are on the way.

I have wondered if this current celebrity boom has caused a baby boom in society as a whole. We are constantly bombarded with stories about the the lives of celebrities. We emulate their lives by following their trends—clothes, cars, and lifestyles—I think that may include children.

Have you been influenced to have a baby because of the celebrity baby boom?

I would like to thank the editors at the magazine for picking one of my blankets to be featured, and I would like to welcome the readers to my website.

New styles of Snug-A-Bug Blankets will be sprouting with the spring flowers.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting the spring line so please keep checking back.

Until then soak up the spring sun, like my pug Oscar. It has been a long snowy winter.

We have a new addition to the family his name is Mac.

He is a 15 week old Brussels Griffon Chihuahua cross, also known as a Brissel Chiffon.

Mac came to us from Griffon de la Griffonnerie in Quebec. They breed both Griffon’s and Chihauhau’s and Mac and his sister were a good oops. He is a sweetheart of a dog. Very small with a lot of moxie.

Oscar our 8 year old pug is not sure what to make of him, but Georgia adores him.
