I love Etsy! You can find anything you’re looking for and tons more you didn’t expect to find. My favorite Etsy store right now is Frank and Me. Everything at Frank and Me is handmade by Lauren (Frank’s mom) with one goal, it has to please Frank. The blankets and little swipers have to be soft enough, the boo boo packs comforting enough, and the blankie capes fun enough to make Frank (and your child) happy.
Everything at Frank and Me is made with the softest materials. We got the blankie cape and I was immediately impressed. This really could be baby’s favorite blankie turned into a cool cape for play. It has soft minky on one side and a soft patterned flannel on the other. My favorite part is the unique closure. One side tucks in the other so it will come off easily and quickly if it gets caught or pulled. Little Bug was so thrilled with his cape, he didn’t take it off for the first few days and wore it every where we went. We’ve also played super hero almost everyday, since. I’m always “the bad robot” and of course he is always the super hero chasing me and yelling “gotcha bad robot!” The cape really sparks his imagination and helps him get into character and makes role playing so much fun!
Be sure to check out all the other great products at Frank and Me like the Burp Monsters. These adorable little monsters make great burp cloths but are cute enough and soft enough to be baby’s favorite lovey. Order from Frank and Me during the month of August and you’ll get free shipping in the US or $5.00 of international shipping with the code totsmag.

We moms have so many things to worry about everyday to keep baby safe and since everything baby touches seems to go straight into her mouth, toys are at the top of the list. With the recent reports that many plastic toys are painted with paint containing lead, it’s nice to know there is one toy that baby can put in her mouth that you won’t have to worry about. 
is made in France where it’s been a favorite since the 1960’s. This cute toy is made from 100% natural rubber so it’s not only safe for baby but environmentally friendly, too. Sophie is decorated with food paint so you don’t have to worry when it ends up in baby’s mouth. In fact, when used as a teething toy, Sophie’s ears, horns, and nose will sooth baby’s hurting gums. This toy is easy for baby to grip and squeaks when squeezed for endless hours of worry free entertainment.
