Chatterbox: Blog Central

I remember when I was working in my corporate job having to take a personal day here and there to take care of “life stuff”. It was no big deal. I alerted my manager, made out my list of to-do’s and off I went. Mission accomplished.

Fast forward to mompreneurship. I still have the same, if not more, life stuff. I still have my list of to-do’s. I even alerted myself that I need to take a day off to complete these tasks by marking them on my calendar. Yet they either remain undone or, worse, I spend the day feeling guilty that I’m not “at work”.

We had a great show in Miami, and although it is not a “kids show” the retailers were looking for the next best thing for summer. Sun protection and kids seem to be going hand and hand and is now available in our newest mom and dad lines. Cannot wait until ENK and ABC, looks like its going to be a great 2011 for Seasons UV!

When you first learn you’re about to become a mother, time stops. It’s just a split second, but it’s a very clear, unforgettable quiet out of body experience. In that single moment, you realize you are no longer just you, you are carrying a life, another. It’s a bit dizzying. The feeling that you are different than you were before that moment is ever present, until one day you realize you can’t remember exactly who you were before the baby. I don’t think there is any single event in the human experience as life changing as becoming a parent.

Sugar Babies” located in Old Town Temecula, California is one of the most unique boutiques we’ve recently discovered. Sugar Babies, is a Specialty Shoppe that carries the best quality toys, gifts, shoes, clothing and accessories. Owner Lisa De la Torre prides herself in handpicked items that are age appropriate and only found in the most discriminating stores.

Our first Baby Shop Hop (www.babyshophop.com) is due September 1, 2010, but our newest event wouldn’t be complete without a chance to give back to the community that makes our Shop Hops possible! For each logo found and clicked on during the Baby Shop Hop we will make a donation to a charity.

Which charity, you ask? That’s for YOU to help us decide. Starting June 1, Shop Hop Productions launched their “Charity Select” contest.

Hudson’s June 2010 issue featured plenty of No Slippy Hair Clippy® in their urban chic “Keep Posted” fashion editorial. There’s a luscious red Kaia flower clip, a shocking pink Emily bow, a Makayla ladybug clip, and a fun turquoise Kaia clip, clipped to a purse. They’re the perfect counterpoint to this raw, gritty photo spread – like seeing fresh green shoots sprouting through cracks in the sidewalk.

I use Spring Bean clamps for everything! Repairing toys, hanging blankets in sunny windows, and creating tents on a daily basis. It’s gotten to the point that I just keep a bag of them in my car! It’s unbelievable how often I reach for them…

Last month we saw “The Biggest Loser” host Allison Sweeney on a preview of the cover of Working Mother with her daughter Megan, who was wearing a light pink No Slippy Hair Clippy® Emily bow. Well, when we finally received our very own copy of Working Mother, we were thrilled to see three more wonderful pictures of little Megan inside, wearing her No Slippy® bow in every one of them!
