Taga Bike

Don't blink...you are really looking at a bicycle/stroller apparatus! Not too many people have heard or seen of this bike/stroller called the Taga, but I think it is such a genius invention...and I love watching the tutorial of how to convert it from bicycle to stroller!  This is perfect for someone who lives in a downtown area or beach area or just wants something a little different and ahead of the times!  There are so many options for seats and buckets that it will work for anyone, even someone with 2 kids!  The Maxi Cosi car seats attach to the bike for infants and then seat sizes increase as the child gets older or bigger.

Take a look and enjoy the videos!

byHannahDesigns = Adorable pieces of jewelry





One of my closest girlfriends (the one I am planning the baby shower for) was a fantastically fabulous host while visiting her in Colorado, so I wanted to find a thank you gift that was not your standard gift card or candle. After searching around online I found this website for hand stamped jewelry. It came to me, she is having her first baby, she would love a personalized necklace. So I ordered a necklace that had D & A (she and her husband), a little pearl and Madison (the baby's name). When I got it and opened it, it was adorable and great quality. When Amanda got it, she said she almost cried!  Looking forward to ordering more for different people for different occassions!

**Happy Shopping**

Just a couple nursery ideas!


Absolutely love the dark chocolate walls with the light furniture. The furniture is simple stated with a touch of class! Love, love.


Can we say calming? The colors in this room are so calming and relaxing I would want to snuggle up on that chair and read a book or rock a baby. The colors in this room can easily grow with the baby and the hard wood floors are so rich.


This is so rustic and organic. Any accent colors could be brought into this room so it could fit either a girl or a boy. The bird houses hanging are so chic and the miss matched furniture is so "in" right now. Adding a chair and a vintage or rustic floor lamp would complete this look and the hanging birds are a simple mobile for the baby.


How's this for luxury? This could be for any gender baby.  The wall sconces make the room look a little "old" for my liking, but the chandelier and cribs are works of art. This furniture is like a piece of jewelry and the fabric looks luscious. The babies in this room are probably the most well dressed babies around!

Quinny Buzz 3 Stroller Review

Thought I would do a quick product review on the BEST stroller ever.  As you can see in my picture to the right my Godson has the Buzz 3! 

The Quinny Buzz 3 is hands down the best stroller system for the money. The Buzz 3 is an aluminum light frame, a hydrolic automatic opening system, with a tri-pod like frame and tubless tires. The front wheels have a 360 degree motion so that manuvering is simple and smooth. There are 4 options that are avilable, there is a bassinet for infants, infant carseat attachments (Maxi Cosi Carseat Compatible), an infant-toddler seat and then a toddler and up seat.  Folding this stroller was a challenge at first, but once you get the technique, you're golden!  The handle can be adjusted by moving it up and down so pushing is comfortable for a 5'3" person to a 6'4" person. The seat can be adjusted to lay back or sit straight up and it can face forward or back. This is the same for the carseat adapters, the seat can face forward or back.  There are extra accessories that are available like a cup holder attachment and rain shield.

Only 2 complaints I have with this stroller...#1 would be the really small basket on the bottom and #2 would be that there is not an option for a cup holder and tray for the toddler seat.

This stroller comes in super cute color options and the fabric is easy to wash! There is a Maxi Cosi version of the stroller, but the wheels are different in front which makes the push not as smooth.  The Quinny Buzz 3 runs $550 for the stroller, $150 for the bassinet and $150 for the car seat.  You definitely get the luxury of a Buggaboo or Orbit at a much more affordable price.

Hope this helps someone make their decision of purchasing a stroller!

Baby Shower Bird Houses!


I am planning a couples baby shower for one of our closest couple friends. First I ordered invitations that have little birds on it, so I decided to just run with the theme.  I did not even realize how much bird house themed stuff there is out there.  I googled birdhouse themed baby shower...wow...my idea was definitely not original!!  Their colors are pink, sage green and brown! So cute. I have been on a hunt for bird houses and decided to go to Joanns to check out their wood stuff so I can paint something to make it original.  I hit the mother load!  They had a whole aisle of raw wood bird houses.  I bought 8 of them so I can have one for each of the tables and then a couples for extras.  Also bought a super cute (already made) white birdhouse.  Bought the paint colors and some scrap booking 3D stickers so I could add to the look. Here are a couple pictures of the bird houses I made.  I will be posting more pictures of the baby shower items and decor I accumulate for 3 more weeks until the shower on the 18th of September!  Getting too excited! Enjoy!
