If anything makes me crave childhood, it's the multitude of children's birthday parties I've been to this last year. I enviously discovered that kids toys, games and outfits just keep getting more creative every year (far more fun than they were when I was a wee one!).  As such, it also gets harder and harder to find innovative, fun and unique gifts that these youngin's don't already have and won't be bored with. To make my kiddie b-day party shopping easier I frequent a delightful children's lifestyle store called Bullfrogs & Butterflies.

Located on Division Ave, B&B is like entering a fairytale playground. From vintage bloomer undies and Room 7 bonnets to Agatha Ruiz de La Prada dresses (so cute you’ll want to wear them) and footgear like Pediped & Robeez shoes, B&B knows how to make dress up fun. They even help moms out with tummy honey creams, books on “What a Mother Should Know”, and genius Bella Bands (the kind that hold up your pants and avoid embarrassing moments). I love that their variety of products allows for one-stop shopping for both baby showers and birthday occassions.  In addition their life-size stuffed animals, huge color-a-mats, plush monster bowling sets, and teeny, tiny, oh-so-adorable sunglasses just make my smile (hey, there's kid in all of us!).

There is no doubt that if I was re-living childhood again, this is the place I would beg my parents to take me to. Bullfrogs & Butterflies delivers the ultimate goodies and reminds me of the magic of youth.
