Start your own Christmas Traditions

Christmas Traditions

We have very fond memories of our childhood Christmas traditions and want to share some ideas for you to create your own traditions with your family.

• Make or buy a Christmas ornament each year for each baby and as they grow older, let them choose it.
  
  
• Buy a small photo album and add their Santa photos. It's lovely to have them all in one place and to see the changes from year to year. If you do a special Christmas photo shoot, include those shots as well.
  
  
• Get the older kids to write down what they think they'll be when they grow up and what they think their baby brothers or sisters will be too. Get the grandparents, aunts and uncles to make their picks and put them somewhere safe until their 21st!

The Miracle of Miracle Blankets

Miracle Blanket - Houdini proof swaddle

Swaddling is the new black. Well not really, swaddling has been around forever but it's certainly being given a revival by sleep experts here and overseas. The Miracle Blanket makes it easy to get the perfect swaddle every time, even in the dark.

Your baby will sleep better, longer and will be less fussy since they will finally get the sleep they (and you) so desperately need.

There are six colour options and we have a very good double-pack special to save you money. Check them out here

Consumers Continue to Shift Purchases Online for Convenience,

An interesting article from Market Watch on the trend towards online shopping during the economic downturn to save time and money.

The main reason to shop online, sited by 74% of respondents, is still the time saving aspect although online shoppers are now also looking much more at finding value and competitive pricing.

And on that note..... don't forget to check out the very cool TAKE 10 sale on at Belly Beyond.

Julia Roberts wears the Ergo and we meet our Business Coach

Julia Roberts is on board the Ergo Baby Carrier fan club - and really why wouldn't you be?

She's seen here carrying 14 month old Henry. Looks to me like he could even be breast feeding? Or maybe he's just having a snuggle.

Business Coach

Heidi and I had our first appointment with our Business Coach yesterday. Absolutely Brilliant!!

Was so fantastic to get confirmation that we are on the right track in most areas and to have the areas where we are a little unsure about clarified for us.

Looks like it's an office and part-time staff coming on board before Christmas for us!!

Fertility Products

Funny story about the Male Fertility products we used to stock. We took them off the site because our supplier had discontinued the range but it seems Google still 'sees' the products on searches which means we are still getting orders.

Anyway, I've explained this to our latest customer to order them and I wished her luck for the journey ahead (assuming they were for her partner) but she replied back that they were for her dog!! Apparently they make a big difference to sperm count in the doggy world too. :)

How 'bout that...
