What is your “mom culture?”

Bookmark and Share

I saw a link to this article today and thought it was interesting. http://themomblog.ocregister.com/2011/02/17/does-your-mom-style-match-your-zip-code/78401/ It’s about how different places have different “mom cultures” where different behaviors are expected and accepted based on where you live. As a recent transplant from Los Angeles to the Denver, Colorado area, I have noticed this just a little bit [...]

Mom hair

Bookmark and Share

I totally get why new moms cut heir hair short. It’s often either that or put it in a pony tail every day. Not just for convenience, it’s because grabby little fingers grip and pull your hair out in chunks! I went through this a little big with my son, but I wasn’t that bad. [...]

Another try…

I am a writer by nature. Well, that’s what I’m told anyway. I guess it’s just something that comes easily to me, even though it isn’t something I am passionate about. Over the years, it’s something I’ve done less and less, which I’m not too thrilled about. I used to keep a journal—like, actually sit [...]

Pocket anyone?

We’re excited to announce that our Sprout Shell will now have a pocket to carry mom’s essentials on the go. It’s on the side–so baby doesn’t kick it. It’s big enough to hold a diaper and wipes case, plus personal items. I have been looking forward to this for a long time! It will make [...]

Parental love

Bookmark and Share

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 [...]

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 [...]
