Babyccino is a website for urban moms: a daily dose of city life mixed with products and parenting tips. It’s like eavesdropping on a group of girlfriends in a café — only they’re inviting you to take part in the conversation! Four women in four cities (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Milan) discuss life, kids, style and all their favorite must-haves. From art projects and toys to fashion and food, the conversation is genuine, helpful and sometimes funny.
We just love Etsy! Isn’t it fantastic to spend some time (and it can easily result in QUITE some time) browsing Etsy, surfing from shop to shop, occasionally pulling out the PayPal wallet to purchase yet another wonderful birthday present?
At Babyccino, we are HUGE fans of everything handmade. We can feel the love, the attention, the hope that somebody will treasure the product with as much care as it was initially made.
Now that we all have school-going kids (time flies when you’re having fun!), we want to equip them with cute goodies so they won’t miss us too much in that strange, scary environment called school. Because surely they will miss us, their beloved parents, their role models, their REAL teachers! Or will we just miss them? To ease the pain on both parties, we have selected some very, VERY sweet back to school items for you — er, your kids!
What better bag will hold your (kid’s) books? By handylittleme, $16.
I’m pretty sure this is the cutest bag tag ever! By WeiOpenSecret, $4.50.

Don’t even think about using plastic bags! These bags are made from 100% unbleached cotton and can be used over and over again. Good for the environment AND your kid’s lunch! Comes with free healthy snack ideas. By evelynfields, $30.
This napkin will be adorable in the lunchbox. Or on any kitchen table. By MyCozyCreations, $4.75.

I love back to school time (hearing school bus squeaky brakes as I type!) and miss getting little ones off to school in the morning. Glad to see cloth napkins for kids! Start good habits early. Love the Bo Bag tag.
Thank you so much for including my Pure & Simple Linen Tunic Dress in this terrific feature!

I used to be a preschool teacher, and those felt numbers would've been GREAT to use! And the alphabet cards!
I should totally tell my old school about etsy, so many awesome things.
