Par-tay!

So...after the battle royale in the middle of the night last night with my Lucy, I'm on very little sleep so forgive me if things don't make sense!

There as been so many new things arriving that it's hard to decide what to post but when these showed up yesterday, I couldn't wait to show them off. We've always wanted to offer some sort of birthday/party accessories and we finally found some that we LOVE! Check these out!



These are just a few of the candle sets we got in but we also have coordinating napkins, table runners and even some fun paper lanterns!
I almost want to make a cake just so I can use those candles!!! Almost being the key word because really, who has time to make a cake "just because"?

New cloth diapers & accessories!

We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of BumGenius' new products which were supposed to arrive in December and to our surprise, we received them this week! We of course will continue to carry the BumGenius 3.0 pocket diaper but have also added their new Flip and Econobum to the mix.

The Flip is more of a compromise between the traditional prefold cotton diaper/waterproof cover combination and the pocket diaper. It is a two piece system that allows you to re-use the cover and simply replace the insert. They even have a disposible insert that is convenient for when you are out and about and don't want to carry around dirty cloth.




The Econobum is their version of the before mentioned prefold/waterproof cover combo. It is definitely more economical and offers an option for those who don't have the means to invest money in the more "user friendly" versions. All of them are one size diaper which means you purchase them ONCE!
Along with these great new products, we also now carry the bumGenius diaper sprayer, bottom cleaner, odor remover, and flannel wipes. These are all great products that we've had MANY requests for and are happy to finally have on hand for our customers.
Please stop in any time to check out what cloth diapering is all about!
Oh and if you haven't already, pick up the latest issue of On the Minds of Moms for a lot of great stuff including an article written by our very own Holly on this exact topic! Also, one of our favorite girls, Bonnie, is lucky to be married to this month's "rad dad" (and we think he's pretty lucky too)!
I also want to mention a quick thank you to all of our military (including Holly's husband Luke who is currently deployed) for your service. Please remember them on this Veteran's Day.

Do you tweet?

I'm not so great at the whole twitter thing but I've started one for the store and would LOVE if you "followed" us! Gosh, that sounds desperate huh? I'm going to try to update as much as possible and maybe even have some contests every now and then.

Also, since Facebook has made some changes regarding groups and fan pages, we now have one of each! I'm updating the Fan page regularly so if you aren't a "fan" you should become one (again....sounding desperate). I'm trying to merge the two but I'm not sure if that's possible. This is all a little confusing to me!

We have another exciting anouncement coming soon so you'll have to keep checking the blog to keep up to date.

Have a great weekend!

It sounds like a plan

As I type, I'm staring at a tower of boxes that were just delivered from FedEx containing one of my favorite brand of TOYS! Plan toys practices the "Three R's" of green living: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Their manufacturing processes are designed to reduce waste and save energy. They reuse materials, and have introduced innovative methods to recycle paper and other products. And above all their toys are top quality and CUTE!






These are just a few of the cute things we have so you'll have to stop in and check them out. Remember Christmas is approaching quickly so buy early and you can avoid some of the holiday STRESS!

Winter Daily Tea line is HERE!

As one of our most popular clothing lines, Daily Tea pretty much sells itself. Great quality, mix and match pieces, and a good price point are some of the selling points of this great line. Today though when I was going through the new stuff, I have to say I think this is my favorite season of this line so far. The colors and prints are so cute and because of the great quality, your little ones can wear this anywhere! Yes, Lucy can even wear this to daycare where she gets so dirty I barely recognize her some days. All the pieces I've had have always washed up so well that I don't mind sending her off for a day of hard play in these clothes.

We currently have sizes 2t-5t in this line and will keep you posted on when the baby sizes arrive.

Green Toys

Green Toys is a brand we've been looking to add for quite some time so I was really excited to get their shipment in today! Not only are there toys made in the USA, but they are made out of recycled milk jugs! You would never guess that is where these cute toys came from...check out this great dump truck and tea set.





Another cool thing is that their environmental mission even extends to their packaging. All Green Toys products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. Seriously, I can't tell you how awesome it is to NOT have to deal with all those twistie things that are IMPOSSIBLE to get off.

Remember that it's already November so start buying gifts early and get it off your to-do list!
