Over the last several months (well, year actually) my constant search for the perfect baby goods has been a way to ease my anxiety and pass the time while we waited for our adopted son to arrive. This being our first and only child, I (like most new parents) wanted the best of everything. I bought wooden toys, and the softest bamboo clothing, organic mattresses, and glass baby bottles…. In my searching for the best I came across this wonderful company: Honeydumplings
Honeydumplings was started by two stay and home moms, Louise and Tracey, and their products are all eco-friendly, gorgeous, and nothing short of fabulous! Nothing too busy, or fussy, just my style, clean and classic and gender neutral. Tracey was kind enough to feature Finn’s nursery on their blog a few months back : found here.
I am lucky enough to own several of their products, like the organic swaddle blanket and padded hat in the pebbles pattern, which can be found here: The Essential Collection It is the perfect lightweight blanket for summer and it is not too bulky so it makes swaddling very simple.
Here are a few shots of Finn modeling them for you:
Even more recently we started using the Buckwheat Baby Mat. Not only is it gorgeous with the softest bamboo cover, but it’s filled with tiny buckwheat hulls which have all sorts of cool features, like being antibacterial, antifungal, breathable, insulating, and odor-resistant. Their rustling sound is also known to soothe and calm fussy babies. It can be used for massage, tummy time, in the stroller, playpen, etc…. I just can’t say enough good things about this mat, which is probably why it’s won several iParenting awards.
Finn has been using it for playtime and he loves the sound it makes. He even agreed to another “modeling” session today, so he could show it off for you.
(Warning…. I may have overdone it just a bit with the photos here…lol… but he is just too cute!!!)
Thanks for letting me share with you! And if you have any upcoming baby showers to attend, consider Honeydumplings for your gift giving. I highly recommend them! Check out their site: Honeydumplings their blog: Honeydumplings Blog or friend them on Facebook: Honeydumplings on Facebook and tell them Finn sent you! :o)

He is absolutely adorable! Honeydumplings sounds like a great little company. Bookmarking this for (hopefully!) future reference. :)
awww, what a cutie!
I wish I would have known of a company like this when my son was tiny.
I had the hardest time finding great products that were natural and boy like.

As far as I am concerned, you can Never overdo it with the photos .
I love that smile .. the outfit is cute and all but all I look at is Finn :)
He is beautiful. I miss my babies. I was an all natural Mommie too. I even used the coolest cloth diapers called Bouys. I don’t know if they are even around anymore. I used all organic products(and that was in the day when they were hard to find). I made my own baby food. I never had any chemicals in our home. And my babies all grew up healthy. Now they are making their own choices and I am please to see them choose organic, recycled, reused, eco-friendly products. They tell me they were glad they were raised that way.
Beautiful pictures, such a lucky family. Him to have you and you to have him. What a blessing.
So, So Sweet!
Finn is simply the cutest lil’ guy!! Show us all the photos of him you want, Sara…I promise we won’t get bored:)

I am passed the baby stage (forever, until grandchildren one day) so the baby necessities don’t interest me as much as the pictures of Finn. Darn, that is one cute boy!
Oh Sarah! Congratulations on your family addition/blog editions!!! It’s been since the Independence Day weekend that I was on your site, and my! how things have changed! I just received my Romantic Homes latest issue yesterday with yet another glimpse of you and your favorite corner, wherein you mentioned the anticipation of baby Finn’s arrivial. Voila!!
The photographs are just wonderful – yours, as well as those taken by family & friend! I especially like the closeup of Finn’s mouth, his cuddled sleeping pose in the wagon, with Hannah looking on (melt my heart), and those first ones with you & your husband. Such blessings! I wish you all a happy journey as you grow as one.
The nursery is everything I would anticipate you putting together – I love it all!
Thank you for sharing and, speaking as one of your followers and patrons – we hope you’ll continue your website of wonderful finds and blogging!
Best,
Rita

Looking forward to stopping by & seeing more photos!
Have a wonderful weekend Sara.
He’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I have not been here in quite awhile ( we moved) and I am SO HAPPY to see your new beautiful baby boy Finn! He was born on my Madelyn’s birthday (she is 3 yrs old). I shared quite awhile ago that we also went through infertility and I’m SO HAPY to see your dreams have come true! :)
God bless you all! Ps- his nursery is GORGEOUS :)
Finn without a doubt makes one of the cutest little baby models. And he certainly looks happy whether it’s being all swaddled in his blanket or free as a bird on his blankie on the floor with his teddy.
Also, while drinking my coffee this morning, I was browsing through my October issue of Romantic Homes and saw your little piece about your favorite nook. Reading how you couldn’t wait to sit in your rocking chair with your first child. I instantly pictured you rocking beautiful Finn now and gazing out of your french doors thinking of the future. Can’t wait for the day when you post about hearing his laughter while he and friends play in the backyard. So very happy that your dreams are coming true:)
Thanks for sharing the photos Sara! Finn is beautiful and it looks as though he is ready to roll over any minute :)
He is such a sweetie. I love looking at your beautiful pictures of him. My favourite photoshoot so far has been the one with his dad. Beautiful
He is just PRECIOUS!! I’m so happy for you and your little family! Enjoy him! (oh, and I am in love with your green changing table/dresser!! How awesome is that color!)
Your joys shows in your photos of Finn! Congradulations (he is wonderful)
;)

Lucky, lucky baby (and mommy & daddy).

We really need Honeydumplings swaddling blanket in adult sizes ; )
Thanks for sharing. You can never share too many photos. donna
It’s been a while since I visited your beautiful blog, and I have just read (and seen) your news. I am so happy for you, enjoy every minute because it flies, my eldest starts University in a couple of weeks. Bam! where did that go!
Your photographs are stunning as always, I love the colours.
These photos are amazing! That swaddling blanket is perfection.
What an absolute little doll. You must be bubbling over with joy. I see such a strong face in Finn. Does he know how blessed he is to have you as parents?
God Bless you all, I am so happy you’ve found your happiness.
I will keep that mat in mind for future babies I know. It sounds wonderful.
Congratulations. I stumbled onto your website years ago – just as you were starting a new career. Your life has grown so in all of these years and I’m so happy that you have the family you have urned for.
he is so adorable…and your photographs really capture that so well – but I love your photography anyhow – it’s soft and soulful
what a little blessing he is for you…happy mothering…it only gets better :)
What a gorgeous baby and room! Love what I can see of it. The dresser is lovely. My baby just turned 10 and I miss her being that tiny. Time goes by too fast!
