We recently spotted Dannielynn and dad Larry (mom is the late Anna Nicole Smith) cuddling courtside at a Lakers game. We couldn’t help but notice her matching ladybug face paint and dress.

We tracked the darling dress down here. It’s by Twirls and Twigs — an adorable and affordable line of eco-friendly duds for girls. The style she’s wearing retails for $52.

Want to buy some fun styles for your son? The company recently launched a line for boys called the Critter Brigrade.

Natural Pod Tree Branch Blocks

Since arriving in our playroom, the award-winning Tree Branch Blocks ($30 CAD) from Natural Pod have been a major source of entertainment for my children.

Packaged in a simple cotton bag, these beautiful ‘blocks’ are made from local tree branches from Vancouver Island. They’re sanded until smooth (so no splinters!) and finished with beeswax.

Available in three sizes, the smallest set has 14 pcs — which is a great starter set for mini builders. My son and I loved playing with all the different shapes and creating all kinds of new structures together.

Interested in buying a set? Right now, Natural Pod is offering 10% on all purchases until December 1st. Just enter the coupon code CBB.66f71de.

While you’re shopping, check out their new Natural Pod dollhouse — it’s beyond drool-worthy. Another fave is the innovative Push-Cart/Doll Rocker combo. Both will provide hours and hours of incredible family fun.
