A Book Every New Mom Must Have!

I was among the first of my close friends to get pregnant and have a baby. I had very few resources and considered myself one of those people that didn't know anything about babies and not even really a "baby" person.

Fortunately, at my baby shower someone gave me the book, The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problems by Tracy Hogg. For someone who didn't know how often or how much to feed the baby or how to get the baby to sleep, this book quickly became my new BFF.

I have since given this book to no less than half a dozen of my friends and recommended it to strangers who have joined me in new mommyhood. If you or a new mommy you gift this great book to reads it and follows the techniques, it will make life with a new baby much less stressful!

Stay tuned to our blog as we'll be featuring a series of baby tips for new moms.

Birthdays are the Best

It was my birthday last week and my dear daughter and husband baked me a beautiful and delicious birthday cake! Her birthday is coming up in a few months and I can't wait to celebrate it with her.

I'm still deciding on which special birthday t-shirt and/or birthday dress to order for her. You can CLICK HERE see our adorable selection. We have all kinds of birthday t-shirts for boys and girls as well as birthday dresses for little girls and birthday shortalls or longalls for the little boys. These birthday clothes can be personalized with the birthday year they're celebrating as well as their name, initial or monogram.

Zosephine Diaper Bags Gives Back

Owner of trendy diaper bag company, Maria Winslow, has announced a partnership with the National Domestic Violence Hotline to donate 10% of sales to the national organization. “Business and charity can exist in partnership to make the world a better place,” Winslow said.

Beginning immediately, 10% of sales of Zosephine diaper bags will be donated to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, a non-profit organization that provides crisis intervention, information and referral to victims of domestic violence, perpetrators, friends and families. “We are excited about this partnership with Maria and Zosephine diaper bags,” said Hotline CEO Sheryl Cates. “This project is an excellent example of how business and individuals can make a difference in the fight against domestic violence.”

Winslow, inspired by a friend’s ambitious fundraising in honor of Nancy Cooper, commits money to help victims escape domestic violence. When Nancy was murdered before she could leave her abusive husband, Winslow was shocked and saddened, but didn’t know what to do to help other women in similar situations until she got the inspiration to use her business to help the cause. “It’s still a shock that someone I know was murdered before she could leave an abusive relationship”, says Winslow, “and it made me realize that if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone. I’m proud to have this opportunity to support the important work of the National Domestic Violence hotline.”

Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique is proud to be a retailer for Zosephine Diaper Bags.

Halloween Already??

I was not expecting Halloween costume catalogs to arrive in my mailbox in early August! But there they are, reminding me that it has already been almost a whole year since my baby trick-or-treated in a Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz costume.

What about two years ago when we weren't going to dress her up because we didn't have plans to go anywhere? But, as luck would have it we decided to go over to a friend's house to help pass out candy at the last minute. She couldn't go without a costume so we had to come up with something quick! We put on her swim suit and cut one of my husband's undershirts into a sash and she was going to be Miss Universe. Well, writing on that shirt with a Sharpie wasn't as easy as you'd think so "Universe" became a much shorter "USA". I can't say it was a costume with a lot of class, but not bad for the last minute!

At Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique we don't have costumes, but we do have adorable personalized Halloween and even Thanksgiving dresses and longalls for babies and toddlers. Our outfits with pumpkin and spider appliques are perfect for photos at the pumpkin patch and our turkey appliques will add that extra special touch to your family's Thanksgiving dinner festivities. These outfits are made to order; please allow 3-6 weeks for delivery. Shop now to avoid rush shipping charges.

No Identity Crisis Here, SHE'S so cute!

I am so excited to add these adorable and unqiue baby hair scarves to our hair and accessories collection!

The Quinna Collection hair scarves are hand-made by friend and fellow mompreneur, Kirsten Hetherly. Her inspiration was the ever so annoying "Isn't HE cute?" comment that so many baby girls get no matter how girly and adorable they (or their outfits) are.

Each of these practical yet stylish scarves features two fashionable fabrics and are fully reversible. No need to worry about clumsy ties, Quinnas are made with a color coordinating soft elastic.

Quinnas are available at Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique in five fabulous reversible patterns.

What's His Name?

My daughter, Allie, is two and a half. For some reason she is obsessed with names. She knows and wants to know everyone's name. She knows all of her friend's names in our playgroup as well as all of their mom's. She knows the names of every single character in her favorite books, TV shows and movies (like Cinderella's mice friends). She asks us what everyone's name is: the cashier at the grocery store, the garbage man, strangers biking in the street - nearly everyone she lays eyes on, including animals. As if that is not enough, now she is also fascinated with who and how people are related. She asks questions like, "What's his dad's name?" (with no dad in sight) or "Who's that boy's grandmother?"

Combine all this talk about names and relationships and I can't believe we weren't expecting her next question. We were driving in the car one day and she saw a dog.
She asked, "What's that doggy's name?"
My husband mustered up every ounce of creativity in his being and said, "German Shephard."
Then she asked, as if it was the most logical follow up question in the world, "What's that doggy's daddy's name?"

Well, in honor of Allie's awesome doggy question, I'd like to feature this adorable Blue Dog Baby Woof Gift Set by Orange Cupcake. Not only is this woof set super cute, but with every purchase, $5.00 is donated to one of these charities of your choice: Teach for America, Charity Water or Donors Choose, connecting donors to classrooms in need. So, not only will your baby or favorite little toddler one be sporting this cool, modern lounge wear, but you'll be giving back too!

I Begged for Fans

Ask any marketing professional and they'll tell you a presence in the social networking scene, especially Facebook and Twitter, is a must for almost any company, organization or even individual.

After a little bit of what some might consider begging, I acquired the necessary minimum of 100 fans to create a username for my Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique fan page: www.facebook.com/sillyandsweet (thanks, friends!!). I'll admit, I am just a little bit obsessed with watching my collection of fans grow; I check it multiple times a day to see if anyone new has become a fan. Silly, I know. Hopefully my fan fascination will subside soon. My shameless begging has paid off though, in less than two weeks I have 140 fans for my new baby boutique - many of whom I don't even know.

The viral effect of social networking is evident. I've gained customers, mailing list sign ups, as well as new wholesalers who have great baby and toddler lines that I'll be adding to the Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique catalog soon. So if you are a fan, thank you! If you're not, please Become a Fan and help me spread the news about Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique!

It's A New Kind of Blog!

Until just recently, I had been keeping Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique a bit of a secret from everyone, including friends and family. I wanted to make sure the site was functional and plump with product before I started to spread the word. I didn't want people to visit an incomplete site with a meager inventory of baby and toddler items and ruin my one and only chance at a good FIRST impression, even with my friends and family.

Last night, just before a friend and I met up for drinks, she received an email from me introducing Silly and Sweet Baby Boutique. Although she was surprised I had kept it so quiet, she was really very excited for me. Her excitement was contagious; we ended up talking about my new baby boutique for hours and she gave me some really great, honest feedback.

Although the majority of her feedback was positive, she did have a constructive comment about my Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique blog. BOR-ING! She said it looked like just another page of baby products, and although that type of content is good for SEO (search engine optimization, a.k.a. how Google finds you), it doesn't really appeal to my visitors enough for them to come back to.

So, this my first official personal blog entry. At her suggestion, I'm going to start blogging more about personal experiences so people can relate to me. She said people would rather read about or see a picture of our trip to Sea World's Aquatica, than just a blog full of product - and I think she's right! She gave me much more great feedback and advice, but right now, right here, I'm just going to focus on the blog. So, stay tuned for a new kind of blog with only a shameless plug here and there (like, click here to view the adorable baby and toddler bandanna dress that my friend loved!). ha-ha

"Pukies" Stain Friendly Baby Products

Even though we haven't officially launched yet, we'd love to start introducing you to some of our favorite products.

Pukies products (bibs shown here) were the inspiration of a mother of two who wondered: baby clothing is constantly being stained, so why aren't there baby clothing lines made with fabric the same colors as the foods babies eat? She loved dressing her kids in organic clothing but the bland colors that eco-friendly clothing usually came in were easily stained. So, she went on a quest to find suitable stain-friendly fabric that was available in logical baby food colors and she created Pukies.

Pukies products are soft, yet extremely durable and the line includes bibs, burp cloths, blankets, onesies, tees and pants. All Pukies products are made with fabric that is 56% organic cotton, 37% soy fiber and 7% spandex.

Where did we get our name?

Good question!
Silly & Sweet Baby Boutique owner, Michelle Steffano, was inspired by her adorable 2 year old daughter, Allie, who does 'silly', playful little things throughout the day, but is also an especially 'sweet' little girl. One of the moms in her playgroup even said, "If there was such a thing, Allie would be voted Prom Queen." :)
