NO MORE BOBBLE HEADS

This is the neatest product. I have to be completely honest. One of my great sales reps has been trying to sell this to me for quite a while. And well, I just never bought into it. That is until this year at the ABC show. One of my good friends has a store like ours in Nebraska. She just recently had twin girls. At market her dad (who has 2 stores Nebraska and South Dakota) would take the girls and...SHOW THEM OFF...to all his friends. He was headed down an aisle at market when the inventor of this product stopped him. The girls were sleeping all hunched over in a double stroller...you know how a baby looks sleeping in a stroller, carseat, swing...when their head is resting on their shoulders...POOR babies they look so uncomfortable. So she gives him 2 Snugin Go's-helps him put the new head supports in the stroller and how to position the bar right at the girls shoulder blades. Immediately you could tell a huge difference in how the girls were breathing and later resting. It was amazing. This product truly astounds me.

The snugin go simply gives support where it is needed to keep your baby safe and breathing right.



They are constructed with memory foam which displaces with just 4lbs of pressure, the shoulder bar crosses behind baby's shoulders and gently pushes the chest forward, opening the airway

The base bar cradles baby's bottom, reducing slouching

The side bars support the shoulders to prevent rolling

The shoulder bar adjusts up and down for a custom fit

This is considered a SIDS reducing product!

They are instock and ready to help your baby. I so wish I had one of these when Mr. H was smaller. I know he would have rested so much better!

Flowers are Fabulous

We just got in these incredible flowers. They are so cute. What a show stopper!!! These are perfect for those pictures that you will cherish forever. So to all my photographer friends come in pick your favorite color. They are only $9.99. I just love those baby pictures with the giant flowers in their hair. These are perfect!!! These are available at all 3 locations

Baby Human Spoon

The Baby Human Spoons have arrived at StorkLand. I was introduced to this product a while back. The inventor sent me a sample to let my little man try it out. I gave him the spoon to play with and teeth on as a toy. He learned to manuver it from hand to hand. This is a double sided spoon so that it can be used in either the right or left hand. He was comfortable chewing on it and use to seeing it. He also developed muscle memory of grasping the spoon and and moving it to his mouth. Another feature that I really like about this spoon/teether is the over insertion gaurd, this keeps Mr. H from choking himself on it.

About 2 months ago when Mr. H was 14 months old he began feeding himself. He did this so well. Yes it was a bit messy at first but he is still really young. I was amazed at how well he did and how much he liked it. To say the least we are VERY independent and this will make feeding time more enjoyable for both of us. I was also very impressed with his muscle memory.

I think this is a great tool to help baby learn to feed themselves. Come in today and get one. Put you and your baby on the road to happy feeding times

Warmth Protection and Style

Baby Legs have made their way to StorkLand. I just love these. They are a one size fits all...and I mean all. My 16 month old son and my 12 year old daughter can were the same pair. These are great for protecting those little knees when baby is crawling all over, they keep us warm both on our legs and our arms. But my favorite thing about baby legs is diaper changing is so easy.
Wear them with a onesie, Wear them with a Dress, Wear them on your arms....

Our Friend Sophie

Before you start laughing just give me a chance to explain. Sophie Giraffe is our newest teether and I promise you are going to LOVE it!!! Yes I know it looks like a dog toy, and yes I know it is a little more expensive then the RazBerry. But I promise she is worth every penny. To prove it. I am sending out an email today with a coupon for Sophie. So if you don’t get my emails let me know so I can sign you up.

Here is how Sophie made her way to StorkLand. A good friend of mine works at a store similar to ours in Sacramento, CA. She swears by Sophie and has for quite a while. Finally she talked me into brining in just a dozen. And I quote “Anne, that is not enough and you will be begging for more.” Boy was she right. When they came in I took one home to Henry. HE LOVES HER. She is our car toy now. She stays in the car and every time we get in he is so excited to get his hands and teeth on her. There are so many places for him to hold on to her-legs, neck, head, etc. She also squeaks. Henry thinks that is so funny. Especially when he bites her head and shakes her from side to side. Who am I kidding—I think it is hilarious too!!! I promise this is not an item to be missed. We got Sophie when Henry was just a couple of months old and now he is 15 months old. She has a lot of longevity to her.
Ok…So now you know about Sophie. She is a great toy, great teether, great gift. Now print your coupon from your email and come in and get one. Henry promises you will love her!!!

Sophie does have her own story. She was born in France in 1961, and she quickly became a popular gift item for newborn babies, soft, light and easy to grasp, she is perfect for little hands and makes a happy squeal when squeeked. Babies find her bumpy head quite soothing to their teething gums. She is 7” high. She is made in the French Alps with natural rubber and non-toxic paint. Sophie has been safely cuddled for over 40 years! She’s a French national Treasure!

Thanks Ruth, you were right I did need to blog about Sophie. Thanks for reading

Just How Dirty are Shopping Carts?
ABC News reports that shopping cart handles have more germs than public restrooms! According to researches from the University of Arizona, shopping carts are "loaded with more saliva, bacteria and even fecal matter than escalators, public telephones, and even public bathrooms". Their suggestion - wash your hands, wash your baby's hands and invest in a shopping cart cover.

Every time I go to the grocery store or out to eat we always have our shopping cart/highchair cover with us. It makes me feel so much better to know that Henry is touching our clean things rather than what others have touched, sneezed on, licked or worse. I know it is my job as his mommy to do whatever possible to keep him healthy.

Tips to Stay Healthy this Flu Season
The CDC's website suggests these steps:
Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze
Wash your hands and your child's hands with soap and water
Use hand sanitizer
Avoid contact with those who are sick

If you or your child does get sick, do stay home to prevent spreading germs
Itzy Ritzy's Ritzy Sitzy Shopping Cart/High Chair Cover is a great way for your customers to protect their little ones from germs. The cover acts as a barrier between their children and the germ-filled surfaces of shopping carts (both single and double) and restaurant high chairs.

All of the Itzy Ritzy Products are available in a variety of colors and fabrics. They are also reversible. Itzy Ritzy makes an infant car seat cover, toddler car seat cover, and the Peek a Boo Pod as well as the Shopping cart/High Chair Cover.

This Peek a boo pod is one of my favorite new products from the ABC show. I always kept a blanket of the kids carriers to keep the wind. sun, or strangers away. The Peek a Boo Pod is perfect for just that. It is light weight so you don't have to worry about them getting over heated. The sun and wind are kept away and it is hard for people to get in and love and touch all their nasty germs all over your baby. You will love this. Again great fabrics to choose from.
