I love it when I get the rare opportunity to have my children coordinate in cute and funky clothes! Appaman gives us that chance :-) Here are a couple must haves for both the boys and girls in you house!

These are great for boys and girl -- so much fun!! Perfect with a pair of jeans or a cute little skirt. Check out the other offerings from Appaman for coordinating options as well as other pieces that are perfect for your little one's busy life!

Let the Boys Be Boys!

2010-02-03T00:15:00.000-05:00

Lets spend a little time focusing on the boys. They deserve some attention too! Your little man will love running and jumping in this season's Appaman. Check out a few of these must haves. So FUN!

Appaman also has incredible pieces for girls -- comfortable and full of style. Perfect for the little lady on the go that doesn't want to be slowed down by fashion, but likes an urban edge to design.

Firsts

2010-02-01T22:32:00.000-05:00

This is a time of firsts. This is our first season and I couldn't be happier! We have so many great pieces to offer you and I can't wait to share them with all of you. More wil be added to the site soon - both boys and girls!

Speaking of firsts, this little number from MimPi reminds me of one of my first favorite outfits. I LOVED that little jumper. I felt so grown up and cute in it. It is the best of both worlds -- perfect for the little girl to feel pretty and perfect for moms because it keeps girls looking sweet and innocent.

Another first? Our first give-away! It goes with our theme - - and the winner is... Michelle. She was our first blog follower, our first blog comment, and our first order. So, the prize is a first for you Michelle. You get to pick one item from the site in a brand that you have never owned before. Email me!

More contests to come. Become a follower of the blog and our facebook fanpage to increase you chances of winning.

Thank you!!

For the littles...

We can't leave out the little girls. Of course they can wear all the clothes big sis can wear, but they can also get away with some of the cutest little outfits. I love these pieces by Pink Chicken.

What little girl wouldn't love to run around on a hot summer day in these adorable ruffled diaper covers with a soft cotton tank? Pair together for a play outfit and then change to a Pink Chicken dress.

These are also great for coordinating sister outfits! Check out the rest of the line for more options.

We are LIVE

Testing, Testing, 1 - 2 - 3

2010-01-21T19:34:00.000-05:00

Testing the site and it should be live very soon. Pre-orders will be available for Kids Ink, MimPi, Misha Lulu, Neige, and Pink Chicken. Other brands will be available for pre-order in February. I will keep you posted!

This Pink Chicken photo really makes me look forward to Spring. I can't wait to take the kids to the beach and build sandcastles!

Today was cold and rainy -- it started out fairly nice (in the 50's) and I left my coat at home; by the time I was on my way home it was pouring and in the 30's. bbrrrrrrrrrr... Not beach weather today.

...getting closer

2010-01-13T23:59:00.000-05:00

I don't know if anyone else is as impatient as I am, but I can hardly wait to get things up and running for everyone. We are just about ready to go live. Just in time for MimPi. Here is a sneak peak at some of the items that we will have...

I'll keep you update on our status. More news to come!

Just Around the Corner...

2010-01-09T21:35:00.001-05:00

I can hardly wait! We will be open for business any day now. We just need to make a few updates to the website to get things ready for pre-orders and then they will be available for everyone to begin purchasing.

Here are a few offerings that we will have available when the site goes live:

Kids Ink. Kids Ink is based in Southern California and proudly made in the USA... inspired by pop art, whimsical fantasy... ultra soft fabrics provide both fashion and comfort.

Misha Lulu. Misha Lulu is a family owned and operated fahion brand inspired by their faith, Latin culture, and childhood memories. They are a retro-modern infant and toddler brand and use art, nature, and family as the foundation of their apparel collection.

Neige. "['Neige] clothes are designed with tremendous respect for both children themselves, and to style.' For children, comfort is the yardstick, and each piece on the collection is conceived with this in mind. What separates Neige, meanwhile, is that each piece is designed with an intense dedication to quality and style."

Pink Chicken...

MimPi... also ready for pre-orders...

Others will be ready soon.

Welcome 2010!

Happy New Year to everyone! I can't believe that 2010 is here. Janie B. is looking forward to it's first season and I hope everyone else is looking forward to many positive things as well in the upcoming year.

It is now January and that means that Spring is just around the corner. Soon our pre-orders will be available! I can't wait to show you all of the great lines.

Happy New Year! May you and your families have a great year.

Yipee!!!!

Yipee!!! Jane is jumping for joy in her Misha Lulu and that is how I feel about the store. Things are on their way! Orders are in (just wait -- I can't wait to show you the Spring lines) and the website is nearly ready for business. My increadible web designer has been hard at work. (Don't worry, I'll share her too!)

There is a lot of work to be done on the homefront this week. As you can see, the yard is full of leaves. Thanksgiving is also just around the corner and we are looking forward to having Daddy cook a great turkey and eat lots of wonderful food.

Keep checking back! There are so many great designers and they have really outdone themselves for Spring. I am so excited to be able to carry their wonderful lines in my store. You're gonna love this season!
