Chris Harris Jr. distributes coats at Denver Children’s Home | Bamboo Baby Onesie

Employees were assigned sizes and shopped personally for a girl, or donated money for a coat to be purchased.

She also shared a photo of the family’s ‘tent’, which featured a fireplace and an outdoor bathtub, as well as stunning views of the rolling hills. 

For the super cute little dresses and blouses, they like to hide them at the back of the collar, on the shoulder, or running down the back of the clothing (try doing and undoing those bad boys while the clothes are being worn by a floppy newborn…).

As I’m sure you’ve already heard — unless you’ve been on social media/news lockdown for a week — Kim Kardashian’s surrogate gave birth to the newest baby in the Kardashian-West Klan, little baby girl Chicago, also known as “Chi.” Since this isn’t Kim K’s first baby rodeo, she’s created a list of baby gear she can’t live without, including organic seat pads, wood bouncers, broccoli teethers, unicorn rattles, and more, on her blog. I know, lap of luxury, right? But it turns out that Kim Kardashian’s favorite baby items are actually things you might love, and are surprisingly more affordable than you may think. (I mean, there’s no gold-plated rattles here.)

Petite Vigogne is new to the market, and specializes in high-end luxury baby goods. Their products are made from 100% baby alpaca wool or vicuña, the highly-prized soft hair sheered from baby alpacas. The founder, Kathy, is a native of Peru, and was a Director of Product Development at Ralph Lauren . Her line includes handmade hats, scarves and mittens that are eco-chic and beautifully made.

I love the simplicity and functionality of their one-piece outfits, the softness of the organic cotton fabric (which only gets softer with each wash!) and the adorable unisex patterns that you can choose from, such as bees, bikes, and map print. No chemicals are used in the dyeing or finishing process, so you do not have to worry about toxins leaching out. My son especially loved his bicycle print playsuit – It was one of the first things he wanted to wear when he started picking out his own outfits!

It is essential to have diaper cream that works on your new mom baby registry! This is something new moms actually need and will use often. It can be hard to know what to put on a baby registry, and diaper rash cream is often omitted. It’s one of the last items new moms will think of when planning for the future. Insider, experienced moms know, you’ll be reaching for the Boudreaux Butt Paste when the inevitable diaper rash erupts. It belongs on any essential baby registry checklist.

While handmade knit hats are amazingly cute, not all of them make the cut. Look for ones that are stretchy and soft. Nothing is worse than trying to pull a small hat onto a screaming baby. For Max, hats that snap under his chin or tie are the most reliable. They stay put and keep his ears covered. The fur-lined hat from Pistil ($34.95) is a fun take on the classic trapper hat, and the adorable Turtle Fur Penguin hat ($28) makes kids and adults alike grin from ear to warm ear. And our go-to for squirmy tots is the Patagonia Synchilla Fleece Hat ($29).

The Philadelphia 76ers put a bow on this year’s Season of Giving by surprising more than 20 youth at the Boys & Girls Club of Camden with an afternoon full of fun activities on Dec. 21. The entire team and coaching staff, along with their families, had the opportunity to spend time with some of the club’s youth, learning new games and making arts and crafts. Of course, to officially make it a holiday celebration, the players and coaches ended the day by handing out holiday presents to each and every one of the youth participants.

“Perfect sleep dress! The fabric is very soft and comfortable. The neck is sized just right to keep me warm (I do not like V-neck sleepwear because I get cold), and it is simple — no buttons or itchy lace, which I love! I bought a size up from what I would normally wear, for extra room and comfort.”

Justin also played street hockey in Westerville, as part of a former program in Huff Park that was makeshift in nature. As Jim remembers it, "They’d take bumper pads out of a big shed and make up a little rink in the parking lot."
