Raves for the Brown Striped Tie Onesie

Isn't this Brown Tie Onesie adorable? Of course, it doesn't hurt that it is modeled by the cutest little dapper dude, Urban.

Thanks to Stephanie for sending in the pictures of your sweetie! He is adorable!

Simply adorable.

Poll

The particulars: dubbed "her first pair of heels". The heel is soft and squishy, and they are sized for babies around age 0-6 months. Retail is around $35.

Poll: Is this something you would likely purchase? As a gift or for yourself?

Thanks for your opinions!

Progress Report: Fail

Whew.

If I were a teacher, my report card for posting this week would be a big fat zero.

A sick kiddo, working on a new project, non-stop orders, and a house that just cannot seem to stay clean were tops on the list.

I was looking for an old picture today and came across this one. It pretty much sums up how this week has been.

So, forgive me for my absence, and I just might share some exciting news. Remember this post? A little birdie told me they are now in stock.

When Spit Looks Good

This adorable designer print bib feaures a soft, boutique quality designer print and reverses to a ultra soft, luxurious minky. The minky is so soft that they'll never want to take off! Snap closure for easy on and off.

Shopping Cart Covers

Something I use all the time is my Shopping Cart Cover from Itzy Ritzy.

True Story: About two weeks ago, I was entering the supermarket and something caught my eye. Sitting in a shopping cart was an adorable little girl. She looked to be about 15-18 months old. Curly blond hair, with the brightest blue eyes. Simply adorable.

However, coming from her nose was a mixture of green and bloody snot. As it came out of her nose, she would wipe it all over the cart handle.

As I was packing my son into a different shopping cart, I watched in horror as the cart switcharoo took place. The mom graciously offered her cart to another mom, who promptly put her child in the cart.

And put his mouth all over the same cart handle that had just been smeared with snot.

Then and there I decided I would never go without my Itzy Ritzy shopping cover again.

There are other ones on the market, but I promise you that you will fall in love with the plushness of the fabric, the beautiful designer prints, and the overall great quality of this item. It fits perfectly into the seat, and best of all- it is reversible!

Considering just how many times you will use this, it is worth it to get the very best.

This interview could possibly be one of my favorite.

FUN.

Please leave a comment if the spirit should strike:-)

Personalized Lunchboxes

Whew! I am only half way through the month, and I am struggling!

Too much on the daily TO DO calendar...blogging gets left behind.

So, on to the new products. I am uploading these right now:

along with a host of other paper goodies. Check back early next week, and they should be live!

Reminder

Mother's Day is right around the corner. Are you prepared?

Wait, don't answer that.

Just wanted to send a friendly reminder that the following items would make fantastic gifts:

Circle of Sentiments Stamped Necklace

Julian and Co Galleria Necklace

A hip and elegant way to commemorate your cherub(s).

Julian and Co actually has a slew of other beautiful, personalized necklaces. Order soon to ensure Mother's Day arrival! All of the necklaces are listed on this page.

Let the Wild Rumpous start

Lately, my sons favorite bed time reading is Where the Wild Things Are. If you have not had a chance to read it, it is a funny children's book. He loves it.

The story is about a boy that sails in and out of weeks, to where the wild things are. They have all sorts of wild rumpous, until he gets hungry and lonely for home. This book has brought about a mini-obsession around here; cute one-eyed monsters are a new fix. This set is a new favorite:


Handmade from the same designer of all the fabulous birthday sets, Liliputians NYC has designed a line of non-birthday children's wear, including this gorgeous Monster Set.

I simply adore the additional details you can customize- if you prefer flannel lined pants, t-shirt sleeve length, and adorable flip up contrasting fabric.

Eight new sets to choose from, retail is around $89.95-99.95 for these one of a kind outfits.

A perfect fit

When Resa Design couldn't find a receiving blanket that swaddled a baby after a few weeks old, they made their own. Made longer and wider than average store bought blankets, you will be able to comfort your baby in ease for many weeks and even months after birth. Available in bold and bright patterns you won't have to tote a dingy and bland blanket again. Resa Design Perfect Fit blankets are turning heads everywhere they go.

I have worked with Resa Design for a long time, and can honestly say she inspires me. Her lines are always crisp, meticulously sewn, and beautiful to look at.

At $16, compared to other swaddling blankets upwards of $44, this blanket is a steal!

New Product Hiatus

I want to take a one day hiatus from blogging about new products. You see, friends, my baby turned one.

We had a most excellent soiree. I am guilty of eating way too much cake, and taking far too much pleasure playing with his new toys.

Bryce-e-Boy enjoyed the attention, but cared far more about the teeny sprinkles than his smash cake.

A great time was had by all.

In honor of this celebration, the next 20 people that order will be entered into a drawing for a $20 MiniMe BabyGear gift card.

'Cause I'm nice like that.

So get our your party hat, let out a Woot Woot, and go shopping.

HOT SELLER ALERT: Baby Legs

I can hardly keep these in stock these days.

Great for crawling, ballet leg warmers, under onesies, skirts, tutus. They are so adorable. One look on your little ones legs, and you will be hooked!

Coming Soon

I gasped when I saw these.

Gasped, I tell you.

I am in love.

They should be here around end of April. In the meantime, feel free to drool as you see fit.

Dani Bags

My four year old loves to carry my diaper bag. Except he normally does not carry it, he drags it on the ground.

I watched in horror as it was pulled through a pile of dirty snow.

Here is what is fantastic about the Dani bags: they stay clean.

The exterior has a plastic lining over it, so all you have to do is simply wipe off the exterior.

That, my friends, is the definition of Made by a Mom. Brilliant..

Pipette Tops and matching hats

Every flower needs a stem. Our pipette tops are a perfect alternative to the naked baby shot. Easy to pull on and off for photographers. Made from 100% cotton in two sizes 6-12 months & 12 months & up. Available in four adorable patterns to match our print hats.

Felt Food Truffle Set

Have you seen the new truffle playfood?

It is beautifully handcrafted, fun to look at and touch, and is a great alternative to the plastic-junky food.

Contains:
6 Truffles- 1 Dark Chocolate Stripe (1" x 2")- 1 Almond Milk Chocolate (1" x 1")- 1 Caramel Chocolate (1" x 1")- 1 White Chocolate with Sprinkles (1" x 1")- 1 Mint Chocolate (1" x 1")- 1 Dark Chocolate Heart (1" x 1")

New Products

In case you have not noticed, there are new products cropping up every day at MiniMe BabyGear. I happen to love finding unique and useful things. One of my customers yesterday sent me this e-mail:

"Jamie, I have no idea where you find the time to add such unique and fun items. Some things I have never even heard of, never even knew existed. I love the new clothing line for Spring- the colors and little girls are amazing."

Thanks, Sherri. I love the clothing line from K Bella Bambino, too.

We will see how long I can keep this up, but I plan on featuring a product a day for the next month.

Starting tomorrow:-)
