Taking Las Vegas by storm…we hope!

All this week we’ll be in Las Vegas at the Gift and Home Show. We’re excited to show our infant carrier cover to more people and hope to get them in stores closer to some of your homes!
I’ll try to update with the fun we’re having and the connections we’re making.
Have a great week all!

Feature Friday: Snuggie

Well, it may not be called Snuggie in your house, but it is in ours. Others call them Lovies.
Here’s the one my son has:
It’s 14″x14″ and made of super soft material that he just loves! He was about 3 or 4 months old when we gave it to him and he didn’t pay much attention [...]

Feature Friday: Skip Hop Duo/Spark

I’m excited to share about one of my favorite diaper bags. The Skip Hop. When I was in that all-important search the first time I researched like crazy! I wanted to be stylish, but I am also quite frugal, and couldn’t stand spending a lot of money on something that would likely get hammered. I [...]

Feature Friday: Rocker Roos

So, I think I’m going to start a new tradition with Feature Fridays. It’ll definitely get me writing at least once a week! =)
Maybe I’ll just feature one of our retailers (because they’re awesome) or maybe a product that I really like, or if one of you has a blog or something you’d like featured, [...]

Burp Cloth Cover/Attachment?

Hello friends,
I can hardly believe it’s Thursday already! Did you check out our question about shopping on facebook…or get the free shipping code from Real Moms, Real Views? You can also bid  on a Sprout Shell in their silent auction. All proceeds will benefit the March of Dimes.
Anyway, today I wanted to get your opinion [...]

Parental love

We always hear parenting is hard work, but also very rewarding. I happen to think that’s very true. It’s hard in different ways for different people; sometimes it’s physically hard, sometimes emotionally, others mentally.
But at the end of the day, there’s nothing I love more than hearing the funny and sweet things my little guy [...]

What do you like?

Here at Sprout Shell choosing which fabric designs to use for our covers is serious business. It can take us weeks to decide, and then we anxiously wait while they’re made and HOPE our customers will like them.
Some we’re pretty sure about–Bubble Burst, Carnival Bloom–others are accidents in ordering–Forever Diamonds (good thing it’s cute!)–and other [...]

Happy Birthday Sprout Shell!

Hi friends!
We’re excited to kick off this week’s Birthday Bash! We hope it’s a lot of fun, and that we get to know you–and you get to know us–a lot better. Our favorite part of Sprout Shell is interacting with moms, but we haven’t been doing it as much as we’d like…that needs to change!
Starting [...]

Birthday Bash!

Hello friends!

To celebrate, we’re having a “Birthday Bash” week starting Monday, June 21st and going until Friday June 25th!
We’ll be launching some new features/content on our blog and facebook pages to help us get [...]
