We're neutral!

We won't bombard you with our own political views but when we saw this cute little onesie/burp cloth set we figured we would play it neutral:Check out these other hilarious sets:Now we will show you a little bit of our personal style...laminated vintage bibs...it just doesn't get any cuter than this!

One of our favorites...

The perfect shower gift just got even cuter! Stop in to see the new designs of our diaper caddies (the Pink Bird print and the Sea Turtle prints are our favs) They are great for keeping the necessities close to you no matter what room in the house you are in.

Just found out your pregnant? Here is a great way to let your mom know...One of the most hilarious books I have ever read, the Granny Diaries and an Expectant Grandma pin will let your mom know that she is about to have someone to spoil!

New Item Friday

There are very few actual new products in the baby industry that we get really excited about, sure there are a lot of cute things that we adore, but as far as a really GREAT product that we feel that every single customer will want to purchase, well those don't come along everyday.

We just received one of these exciting products in the store... they are adorable and completely functional size rings for your little one's closet. We've all seen the cheap looking round plastic size rings that you get through basic catalogs, but these are different and SO MUCH BETTER!! Here's why... they can be hung on your standard hang bar OR the wire closet systems that the majority of us have in our closets... the sizing label sticks out to the side so it is easy to locate no matter how many clothes are hanging...the set of 5 comes with pre-printed labels (newborn, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 2T, 3T, 4T, Dresses, Jammies, Onesies, Sweaters, Jackets, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) which all can be easily removed to switch out when necessary. They also provide 4 blank labels in case you need a category not provided.

I don't know of anyone that wouldn't appreciate a little organization in their closets! The best part is that they come in four fun colors (pink, blue, green, and yellow - all with cute white polka dots)

They are $25 per set and will certainly go fast, feel free to shoot us an email or give us a call if you need a set today!

For the little golfer (0-12 months) ...a Bailey Boys John-John, a custom burp cloth and matching box of 6 pair of Trumpette golf socks. What a great present this would be for a newborn or a Dad-to-be on Father's Day (June 15th). Retail for 3 pieces is $86.50

New Item Friday

The cute little boxes of Trumpette socks are one of the most popular items we sell (you know, the Mary Jane socks and Johnnies). Well, we just received the new style of Princess socks. They are so sweet, each sock has little gold crowns woven into the pastel cotton colors. These won't last long (we never can keep our Trumpettes for long) Six pair of socks per box, $26.50

Gift Idea Thursday

Nothing is more well received than a personalized gift, for the simple reasons that everyone loves to see their name and it shows that you took some time in picking out the perfect item.

Our gift idea for today are these FABULOUS hand-painted star pillows by one of Jamie's good friends, the oh-so-talented Holly of Twinkabella. She hand paints the recipients name and embellishes the pillows with glitter and flowers, something that any little girl would want to keep for a lifetime. You also have the option of adding a ribbon tie to the pillow so it can hang on the wall or perhaps on a closet door knob (just in case the toddler bed isn't the ideal place for such a stunning piece of art) They measure 16"x16". Call us to order yours today, these personalized beauties take about 6 weeks to arrive and are $88.

Gift Idea Thursdays

We get asked all the time about ideas we have for decorating and gifts so we are adopting a new format for our POPIN blog that we hope helps you out a little. Here is the schedule of posts we have decided on (and we are going to do our best to be faithful bloggers!):
Monday- Coupon Day! We will have a coupon you can print good for that week.
Tuesday- Inspiration Day! We will post and discuss pictures of well designed rooms and how you can achieve similar looks.
Wednesday- Corners of our homes Day! A glimpse into our homes and our personal style.
Thursday- Gift Idea Day! We will be bringing you an idea for the perfect gift.
Friday- New Items Day! We'll show you what new and exciting products we received this week.
We hope you enjoy and please email us if you have any ideas you'd like us to feature~


Thursday- Gift Idea Day!
Today's gift idea is for your upcoming baby shower.
We constantly hear from Mom's that the ultimate receiving blanket is the favorite item received as a gift. We paired the blanket with a set of matching burp cloths, a soft my blankee for the little one and a squeaky cookie cutter animal. We believe that you really achieve a "wow" factor when you coordinate your gift by color and/or theme. We've shown above the combo for girl, boy or neutral. Your total price would be $86.50 and (no matter how swollen her feet are) your gift will certainly bring a smile to the Mom-to-be.

I have a thing for Storks...

I have been collecting Storks for a while now (I think it started when Brian and I started trying to have kids) It seems like a silly collection now that we have been unsuccessful (baby-wise) although the adoption process is coming along nicely... more on that later.... Anyways, we received these baby pillows in the shop today that I AM IN LOVE WITH!!! Aren't they just the sweetest little gift? ~J

Bless this baby

The sweetest items just arrived in the store, perfect for a shower gift or baptism, they are Blessing Rings. How they work, you simply add all of the cards and well wishes that you receive to the ribbons on the rings by punching a hole in the upper left corner of each card and tying them on. Then place the Blessing Ring on a doorknob and continue to add your blessings over the years. What a cherished keepsake this will be!

MITI & Big Bellys

We had another great Make it/Take it. We made kitchen towels but more importantly we learned how to hand embroider. Once again, Heather's pink lemonade cupcakes were divine! (She is making some yummy chocolate ones for Preston's Birthday next week...so much better than store bought)
We also got in new Big Belly Banks yesterday. Kids love putting change in these and watching it go all the way down to the "belly". Makes a great Birthday presents!
For those of you who will be in the Jacksonville area on Saturday April 7th, make sure to stop by and pull an egg out of the basket for special discounts off your entire purchase. We hope you all have a wonderfully blessed and safe holiday weekend. Happy Easter!

Back by popular demand....

We just received our shipment of The Baby Bistro Boxes at POPIN, and I must say that they would make the perfect gift for that first time mom. Each box contains recipe card format cards with up-to-date nutritional information you need to feed your baby for the first twelve months. It includes safety rules, shopping tips, recipe ideas, and prenatal suggestions. I know I would love to receive this as a shower gift, it is so unique! Stop in the store and pick a few up for your prego friends or go to our website and put some in your cart! ~J

Christmas Shopping

I don't have pics of our November swap yet but it was a good one! We had a crazy October, Jamie and I both celebrated birthdays and we had our first all girl get-away (will post some pictures later). I just felt so bad not posting anything lately so I thought I would write a little something. It is so funny because there are a few blogs I follow religiously and get so upset when they don't post everyday and here I am posting twice a month!
I will let you know that I am a very early Christmas shopper and pride myself in usually having it all done before Thanksgiving...not this year, not even close. Kids are almost done because I do have a small connection in that arena...but adults are getting harder every year. I, myself am very hard to shop for because I can't ever think of anything I need until after I receive something I don't need (that sounds awful but sadly true). The one thing I really wanted for Christmas I got for my birthday so I am back down to nada. I got the most softest (wrong wording but best way to describe) pink robe ever!!! and matching slippers!!! The kids actually fight over who gets to snuggle up with me when I am wearing it! They bring it to me and ask me to put it on then hug me and don't let go...this robe is the holy grail of motherhood. Last week I was having one of those days so I went and put on the robe and both kids could "sense" the robe was on and ran as fast as they could to snuggle up with me on the couch. Even if it was a ploy to get my kids to comfort me, it was worth it. My kids, who I feel safe to say, are not reading this so I can tell you a few of the wonderful things they will be getting for Christmas this year. First is the crayon keeper. Again, a trick on my part, I know they will love it AND will clean up their crayons at the same time. I had their names put on each one because if their names aren't on it then they fight over it. Nevermind one is pink and one is blue, they will always want the other one unless it has their name on it. I also am getting them a few things for their rooms- Mike has questioned me on this one (I know, can you believe it?) He doesn't think the kids will like art for a Christmas present but my theory- and I am right (right?)- is that it adds so much fun to their room and they will want to play in their rooms, and make believe and it will invoke creativity which is one of my main goals in bringing up my kids. Here is one of the great pieces from MaryJack Studios- the detail is amazing, it has glitter and hand sewn sequins on it. It is huge too! I could just stare at it for hours- I know Bella will too, imagining being here in this picture. For Preston I got him this great treasure map from Oopsy Daisy. He has a great Pirate room already but the map he has is paper and is torn from all of the play. This one is made on canvas that can roll up if he takes it off the wall (it has grommets so it just goes on the wall with tacks- easy up and easy down) it will handle all of the rough play. So I will be online shopping for the adults unless I get really brave and make some presents this year... I'll keep you posted on the shopping- if I find anything great, I'll let you know- likewise, if you know any good gifts for people who are so hard to buy for, please let me know!
