Dare we say, "Fall is coming?" Is it really time to put away the flip-flops and plastic beach toys? Sure, Fall means back to school, but the signs of autumn also mean wardrobe updates for your best dressed kids. Here, at The Silly Wagon, we are all about the natural colors, soft fabrics, and unique designs from Baby Nay and Wonderboy.

This Fall, Baby Nay has adorable Sari-Inspired prints and a few classics that we all know and love, in sizes infant to 4T. Their Baby Sacks are a must-have for new moms and of course, you can't not have one of their super-adorable Kimono or Swing sets. We happen to love the Lotus Fray dress. They'll be sure to please the hippest moms and tots on the playground.

Meanwhile, Wonderboy dresses your little man with a subtle yet totally stylish finish, in sizes 2T to 6/7. Wonderboy has classic button-down shirts in some very cool prints, like the Casbah shirt and the Turbulent Indigo Jeans for maximum boy-ness and the coolest distressed-leather silver belt EVER. Kelly Ripa and her boys Joaquin and Michael are big fans of Wonderboy.

The Silly Wagon is proud to carry Baby Nay and Wonderboy for all your fall fashion needs and splurges! We're taking pre-orders now, so get them before the leaves change colors.

Nicole Ritchie IS in fact pregnant AND will serve 4 days in jail.

Nicole Ritchie and boyfriend Joel Madden, arrived at court on July 27th. Nicole was sentenced to four days in jail today following her arrest for driving the wrong way down a freeway.
According to In Touch Weekly, Nicole is also pregnant and due to give birth in January.

Nicole has allegedly fought a battle with anorexia, drug abuse and occasionally her "frenemy" Paris Hilton (who incidentally, if you hadn't heard, due to living under a rock, also spent time in jail recently)

We wish Nicole and Joel the very best of luck and can't wait to see her blossom in her pregnancy. Hopefully, her pregancy will be a time of self-empowerment and Nicole will learn how powerful and positive a healthy body can be!

Gorgeous Eva Herzigova Breastfeeds Newborn Son, George

Eva Herzigova and her new son, in interview and photoshoot for Paris Match and other foreign magazines. As seen on Celebrity Baby Blog, you can read all about this gorgeous model, her pregnancy, boyfriend Gregorio and son George and those amazing boobs!
I think that it's fabulous that she was photographed breastfeeding, even if it wasn't in an American publication. It's important that women are taking a stand and protecting their right to breastfeed their children. And if I looked that good at any point during my post-pregnancies (or any time in my LIFE, for that matter) you know I would be buying billboards across the US to show everyone!
Check her out in that bathing suit and high heels, you go girl!

Fantastic Product, An Inspiring Story
by Pastel Toys

The Silly Wagon is now proudly offering Pastel Toys, an amazing wooden toy company with an even more inspiring story. Pastel Toys, offers heirloom-quality wooden blocks and toys for children that take you back to a simpler time. No buzzers, no batteries, no annoying songs...just simple,

classic, timeless designs that children love. Everything is hand-painted, hand-shaped, hand-sanded for impeccable quality, made from non-toxic and sustainable materials, you will actually feel good about giving this to your children. Their blocks are fantastic, better than any block I have found to date...heavy in the hand for great stack-ability (is that a word?), smooth and gorgeous paint colors, aged just right with no splinters or funny nicks and knots. Yeah, can you tell I am a little bit "picky" when it comes to my kids blocks!

A not-for-profit organization, has established a village and home for adults with special needs. Within the framework of the work and rehabilitation programs various branches of employment have been established, allowing the residents to acquire skills in different types of work. Buying a toy from Pastel Toys carpentry helps the residents to be self-sustaining, enhances their self-esteem, while improving their skills, and supports the development of the Village.

Kishorit was founded in 1994 by a group of parents and professionals with the aim of establishing a settlement, which includes a communal neighborhood (a kibbutz) and a village for people with learning, functional and adaptive disabilities, while giving parents the security their children will be provided with a home and treatment for the rest of their lives. The village is set up in a community, planned according to the example of the Israeli kibbutz. The 120 residents of the community take part in most of the decision making process and in the organization of the village (including the management), as well as helping friends to reach decisions about their personal and social life. In order to reduce the economic dependence of the Community on parents and government offices, a number of profitable production lines have been established like an organic vegetable garden (as almost all residents take medication, the consumption of healthy food is of prime importance), an organic goat farm, a milking station and a kennel, as well as carpentry and an organic chicken coop.

Dare we say, "Fall is coming?" Is it really time to put away the flip-flops and plastic beach toys? Sure, fall means back to school and all that...but, signs of autumn also mean wardrobe updates for your best dressed kids. At The Silly Wagon, we love nothing more than dressing our kids in cozy clothes when the weather starts changing. We also adore the natural colors, soft fabrics, and unique designs from Baby Nay and Wonderboy. These fall lines will take your kids into the cooler months with style without sacrificing fun.

Baby Nay consistently provides luxurious comfort, high quality, and exquisitely girly prints for their baby and toddler clothing. This fall, Baby Nay has branched out to Indian sari-inspired prints, as well as more modern foliage designs sure to please the hippest moms and tots. Their super-adorable 'Baby Sacks' fit newborns through nine months old, and we're sure you'll wonder how you could have lived without them. Classic Kimono sets and Swing sets fit sizes 2T through 4T, and are perfect for active toddlers who need movement and softness with their clothes. The most adorable part of the line is the new kimono top paired with a skirted leggings set - great for cooler days at the playground for girls who love their skirts but need some warmth! And if you need added warmth and fashion, have her throw on a pair of fun and highly-functional Baby Legs (arriving soon)

And don't think we left out the little guys... Wonderboy dresses up your little man with a subtle yet totally stylish look, in sizes 2T to 6/7. Wonderboy uses plush corduroy, classic button-down prints, and details such as duo-tone piping and colors that feel like an autumn afternoon to finish your son's wardrobe with function and kiddie-coolness. We adore the already-broken-in-feeling Turbulant jeans that adjust from inside the waist, leaving your smooth kid looking, well, smooth...pair it with the no-nonsense Hombre shirt for maximum boy-ness! There's even a little bling in their belts - can you say 'Hi-ho, Silver, away!'
