oh little lovie, we do love you so! some day my children will not appreciate this,
but I’m spilling the beans. they both sleep with their “fwanky.” no, that was not baby talk
for blanky. my older daughter made it up one day when she was about 18 mos, and from then
on it was Fwanky. Fwanky is a she, white and pink, and about the size of a throw pillow. she’s
pulling apart a bit, has been caressed thread bare in places. she’s beloved.

Day 4 of 12: our little roo, not quite what you're expecting

"Kangaroo Mom

Hopping around

Carrying the world

Around in her sack"

I once saw this quote flash up on a screen in an elevator.
I've never forgotten it, and now I 100% get it. 

welcome to DAY 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas!!

day 4 brings you all our roo gowns at 20% off!! 

ENJOY!!

the roo gown was designed for the little bitties. i loooved my babies little newborn crunched up legs. but they do have a tendency to get caught in between the legs of the rompers and jammies, and traditional gowns tend to bunch up too. we say, just let little leggies be free from the start, while staying cozy, allowing plenty of access for bicycle legs, quick changes and snuggles. 

the roo gown offers scratch mitts, and the easy back elastic opening for changing, but the bottom is sewn up like a little roo pouch so baby’s legs are fee, comfy and cozy. we watched while one mama helped her little dude out, completely unhindered with a series of bicycle legs and belly relieving exercises. available in 0-3 and 3-6 mos, in cloud dancer white and microchip stripey with 3 choices of artwork. Click on the here to get your roo gown now!!

Day 2 of 12: Have you met our rompers?? 25% off today only!

how are you enjoying your 12 days of holiday gifts?

today it's all about the rompers. 

have you met our rompers yet? a playful peek-a-boo over the head, and this little piggy
over the legs. our rompers are designed with an easy elastic back opening so you & your
baby will quickly & easily enjoy many dressing & changing positions: on back, on lap,
standing, sitting & (our favorite) face-to-face.

this active, social little peanut, was all over the place. sitting down, rolling over, playing. she was all about eye contact and communication. which is REALLY easy with our rompers. she’s clearly acing all her milestones :)

this sweet one, was ENTIRELY uninterested in being changed her on her back. dad picked
his girl right up and changed her in his arms. it's amazing how a small shift in perspective
can change the whole mood! ooookay, it’s true, we can’t compete with the joys of baby nudie
time, but she IS snuggled down on our big love blanket in the last pic. happy baby or what? 

the lap shoulder construction makes it easy to pull over baby's head. it opens to shoulder width,
so for newborns, we recommend just sliding it up from the toes. diaper changes are a breeze,
and no need to fully undress your baby, especially a newborn. the easy elastic back opening
also allows skin-to-skin contact when only that touch can do.

day 2 of our 12 days of Christmas brings you all our rompers at 25% off!! 

ENJOY!!

They are the beat of my heart, the pulse in my veins, and the energy in my soul. They are my kids.

I love this pic more every time I see it. Daddy and daughter were having some "us" time, and I wandered in and this picture is what I found. Daddy quietly laying there, all ego aside as, our 2 year old "decorated" him with her treasures.

I am reminded of this quote I love, author unknown:
"They know me in a way no one ever has. They open me to things I never knew existed. They drive me to insanity and push me to my depths. They are the beat of my heart, the pulse in my veins, and the energy in my soul. They are my kids."

We are not very patiently awaiting our production shipment, due to arrive on Monday. In the mean time, it's a creative weekend ahead of uploads to our website, and FB fan page.

Holiday shop is almost open!!!

Dear Mom, I love your baby clothes. Your babies will love your clothes.

It was exactly this time, last year that I posted Life is Full after the Halloween blizzard. Once again we found ourselves needing to work a little harder, connect a little more, rely on our creativity, resourcefulness and optimism, and come together as a couple, family, neighborhood, community and country.

Through it all, our production is on it's way, preorders will begin soon, artwork is being screened right now, and things are moving forward in their own way. Not the planned way, but we'll take it.

Our hope is that everyone affected by hurricane sandy is safe, surrounded by community and warmth. Our best wishes and hearts are with you!!

we had a birthday party JUST in time...

my oldest sweet pea turned 6

…we prepared for the storm…

my husband deflated the kids yard toys in his own special way

…families were evacuated and came together…

I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty awesome having a baby in the house

…we made cake (on the floor)…

with one working outlet in the livingroom, and scrapped together supplies

 …we celebrated…

thrilled doesn't describe the happiness, waking up to your own bday cake

…we assessed the damage, and were grateful…

yup. that was our driveway

…the sun came out…

…we went trick or treating anyhow…

sassy pants and muscle man

…we had time to think through our artwork and be more authentic…

SO much happier with these graphics, LOVE

…can you ever craft enough?…

…we had another birthday, and gifted our favorite things…

…we cut screens, mixed colors, and played with stamps…

turns out, my kids are REALLY good at this, I may hire them :)

…we received unexpected support…

"dear mom, I love your baby clothes. Your babies will love your clothes."
From my sweet 6 year old as I worked on the artwork for the holiday line.

L-Day = LAUNCH DAY...but a bit less launchy than we'd hoped

today is L-Day...LAUNCH DAY. however, it's a little less launchy than we'd hoped. by that, we mean our line is still in-transit to our offices. it is arriving a wee bit later this month, and our amazing community of families will be receiving an opportunity to pre-order from our holiday line next week! if you haven't signed up for our newsletter, now is a great time.

what's next is a full week dedicated to showing you where we've come from and where are are now. we've been gathering all the original photos and videos, and it has been a fun, and funny walk down memory lane. the line really has evolved and gotten clear on it's purpose and intent. we hope you will enjoy it as much as we have!

we're starting from the beginning and our first ever prototypes modeled by then little jonah, who was only about 6 months old... even our little ava found a way to squeeze into them, as you'll see below:

we'll continue with our shares right up to our photo shoots from our holiday line. with a full detail and description of our design innovation, quality, fit and artwork. can't help ourselves, here is a tiny sneak peek from our first baby photo shoot!

also up for this week is to announce our winners of the embracing the moment photo contest!! what a turn out!! we absolutely adored the photos of the sweet babies and their amazing families. it really is a beautiful thing when you can see how we are all connected as parents through our special moments with our children. we truly hope you got and continue to receive some excellent "feel good" time as you voted for the little peanuts!

last but not least, we are busy hand screening our artwork for the holiday line in our studio. 

look for more shares coming your way daily!! 

our holiday 2012 launch line: sneak peek here!!

you've been patiently waiting to see what this line is all about! well, ask and you shall receive!

that's how it's looking to a 5 year old, anyhow. little A has her own "art table" in my office, where we often work side-by-side. yesterday, she handed this to me and walked me through her baby clothes. if you look closely, you might see a little holiday art form her mama, in the background :) 

in all seriousness, if you missed my post on the garment finishings and details,
please check it out here! it is a walk through of all the pieces, fabrication, construction, design philosophy and the special innovative features that answer the need, the call, for innovative baby clothes designed for little people, and the big people who dress them. they're about connection, creativity, quality, comfort and simplicity.

then, head's up for next week because it's going to be a week of pictures, photos and big reveals for the line. we will be sharing how we got here, and where we are. we are so grateful to have you all here with us!
