The sweet ladies at baby girl's daycare (shout out to Connie and Kris!) turned me on to an awesome product by Inchbug. Inchbug makes a personalized, reusable stretchy label that fits over bottles and sippy cups called the Bumpy Name Orbit Label.
No more mix-ups at daycare or playdates, and no more writing names with the Sharpie only to gradually wear off in the dishwasher. Inchbug labels are dishwasher and microwave safe.
A package of four labels with one line of personalization is $12.95, or two lines is $13.95. You can also add icons such as a flower, heart, smile or star for .75. We love our inchbug labels!
I can hear the squeals of delight from here. In the same unique way that Javis Davis has always offered custom baby and kid bedding, now they are offering the most adorable customizable doll bedding.
Your little girl will be able to personally select her very own fabrics when ordering her doll bed. The custom doll beds come in two sizes: Large ($125.00) fits dolls up to 18" such as American Girl® and My Generation®. Small ($75.00) fits dolls up to 13" such as Barbie®, Groovy Girls® and Madame Alexander®.
Santa will be happy to know that we are helping him out this year. We expect such a huge request for our doll beds that the elves have offered to come down to Fairhope and help wrap a few gifts for delivery at Christmas. (all doll beds come gift wrapped...any time of the year!)
Contact me if you would like to place an order or if you have any questions.
I have always enjoyed running, but it wasn't until after having my first baby that I really started getting into running. It was my way to get out of the house and get some fresh air while getting a great workout, all without the need for a babysitter...my baby boy was quite content as long as that stroller was moving. When I first started shopping for a jogging stroller I wasn't sure if I would stick with it so I did not want to shell out the big $$$ for a new stroller. I headed to a local kids consignment store and bought a used jogging stroller for $45.00. Over time I began to hate that stroller! I was constantly trying to correct the steer as it pulled to the right. I logged a lot of miles on that worthless stroller.
Fast forward four years later to when I had just had my second baby. I was ready to hit the pavement again, but there was no way I would battle that second hand stroller again. I searched the web I found an incredible deal on a BOB Sport Utility D'Lux jogging stroller. I paid just under $300.00 for a "last years model".
This thing is the Mercedes-Benz of jogging strollers. It was a bit of a splurge but after searching craigslist I realized that when I am done with my awesome new BOB stroller I will probably be able to sell it and recover about 40 to 50 percent of my investment.
Basically if you are looking for a stroller for casual walks through the neighborhood pick up a second hand or inexpensive jogging stroller. If you are serious about running go ahead and spend the extra money...you won't regret it.
The cupcake clipart was my inspiration to do a pink and turquoise theme for the invitation and all of the decorations.
Back when I first started planning and getting ideas for the party I ran across an Etsy shop called Golden that had the most adorable custom bibs and birthday hats. I bookmarked the site planning to come back to order one of the cute little custom 1st birthday bibs, but when I came back to order there was an announcement that all orders would not be shipped until 4-5 weeks out. Yikes! I did not plan that far in advance. I couldn't find anything else like these adorable bibs, so I thought "I can make this". And I did. And it turned out great. And I was surprised! Really it was pretty easy. I won't go into step-by-step instructions, but if anyone is interested just send me an email.
The birthday party was a success, and I'm only crying a little bit that my baby girl is now a toddler.
Happy 1st Birthday Summer Girl!
