Nashville Themed Baby Goods with Gugu Guru

Nashville Themed Baby Goods with Gugu Guru!

The countdown to baby 2 is creeping up on us, and I’m so fortunate that some family and friends have asked if we are registered or what we need this go around. One of the good things about having two boys in 14 months, is that we have most of what we “need.” There were some things with Georgie that I wish I would have had and then some things that we need to adjust to two babies instead of one.

I registered at Gugu Guru this time around. It’s completely customizable, so you can add things from any site. When you first sign up you complete a quick survey that gets a good sense of your style and what type of parent you are. (They are images/mood board style so it’s extremely easy). They then match you to items that fit your lifestyle needs and aesthetic. You can pick from those items, and also add items from any website. I found things that truly fit my style perfectly!!

You can also choose to have a Gugu Guru team member review your product choices before publishing your registry. All of the items they have on their site have gone through safety testings and various other protocols to make the cut! If you are completely overwhelmed with all of the products on the market, you can use their concierge service. You tell them your lifestyle, budget, and personal style and they match you with a professional baby planner that will curate a registry just for you. (Wish I would have known about that for G!)

Being a Nashville, music traveling family we thought it would be fun to partner to bring ya’ll a themed registry guide with a Nashville themed baby goods! All of the products are produced here in Tennessee or the Nashville area or are centered around music.

Rowdy Sprout:
These vintage looking band tees and pajamas are the absolute cutest! This company keeps a mom and pop shop vibe, and sells in small batches. All fabric is made & cut in the USA. All products are printed in the USA. Each product is licensed which means we pay royalty to all your favorite bands. (As a music business family this is so important!)

Milkbarn Kids :
This is a Tennessse based company where the products are well made and not mass produced. I love the creative and fun fabrics. It’s a mother-daughter duo and the daughters designs appear on many of the prints! I just love their pajamas, rompers, hooded towels and even little baby robes.

Rockabye Baby! Music :
These are so fun! They are lullaby renditions of your favorite bands. In their words, “Rockabye Baby makes rock music baby-friendly and kids music adult-friendly.” How cool is that?! We played these over my belly when I was pregnant with Georgie, and I contribute this to his love for music now. It’s so fun to watch him react to music and dance along, or a ballad soothe him. We are playing these for baby #2 as well!

Little Bits Nashville :
I love their “love you always” memory box. It makes a great gift, but it makes it easier to write little notes about special memories and milestones that you can share one day with your little one. They also have cute little baby onesies, like this guitar one.

Shop Sugar Babies :
Ok, so this one breaks the Nashville theme, but this Modern Burlap “hello world” swaddle was just too cute not to include. We used swaddles like crazy with Georgie, and not only is it perfect to use to swaddle baby #2, but it will make such a cute background for pictures of him when he is a newborn. This is from the Shop Sugar Babies website, they have such cute brands and baby products!

Even if you aren’t a music city dweller, these Nashville themed baby goods make great gifts for any music lover in your life!

Meet baby G and his nursery

All of the cliche’s about the love you feel for your own baby became instantly true the moment I met my son. We are so excited to welcome baby Georgie into our family. My heart wants to explode with love every time I look into his adorable little eyes. He has been the sweetest baby so far, and I feel lucky to get to be his mom. Getting adjusted into a newborn’s schedule is hard, and you just want to be comfortable. I was able to wear the things I bought for pregnancy, like this beautiful bell sleeved blouse (and it’s on sale!) These boyfriend jeans are slouchy at the waist and more comfortable for a post partum body.

I had so much fun decorating G’s room. It was a slow process and I would do one thing at a time over the course of my pregnancy. We are so happy with the final result. My parents crafted some of the items, which makes them extra special. The whole theme derived from the teepee, which my sweet parents made. Here is a similar teepee at a great price! I placed a dream catcher over the top to add interest. The chandelier and crib are both Restoration Hardware and were such great statement pieces, that I thought they were worth the splurge. This sheepskin rug keeps the room light, and I also put the babe on it to take sweet pictures.

I knew I would be spending a lot of time in a rocking chair once the babe arrived. I wanted something oversized and comfortable, but still with some style to it. I thought the tufted back and nailhead detailing were the perfect touch. The printed blanket adds a little pop of print and is soft and great for late night feedings. These velvet curtains add some texture, but keep the room light and airy. We put a black out shade behind the curtains to make the room more comfortable and dark when he sleeps. I used rope from Michael’s to tie the curtains up. (It was under $5.) I decided to go with an inexpensive changing table and then added baskets and basket liners for easy access to his essential items and lots of extra storage.

This sweet toy box was a handmade gift from some very sweet friends of ours. It goes perfectly with the room and is such a great statement piece

This  diaper bag was perfect for our stay at the hospital. I fit all of the essentials for the babe in here and it’s nice and light. (Bonus: It’s under $50!!)
