Interview with Babybottoms Boutique

Tell me a little about your family.

Having 4 children makes for a hectic everyday adventure. No one day is alike. But they sure are precious, and they are certainly a joy and they bring smiles to our faces everyday.

What advice do you wish someone had given you as a new mom? What advice would you give to a new mom?

That half the things you register for your baby, you don’t really need and won’t use.

What have been your favorite moments of motherhood?

I love reading to them. And of course kissing all those boo boos. Mommy (and a band-aid) can always make them feel better.

What has been your most challenging moments of motherhood?

In the beginning of my motherhood, balancing work and home was my most challenging issue. I could balance it, but my main focus was on work, when it shouldn’t have been. I have since been a part time employee. And since our family has grown, I have more of a respect now for those that stay at home. We are some busy moms!! It has helped me to see how we should all respect each other and our decisions and our roles in life.

What inspired you to start your business?

I believe everyone needs to know that there are other options than disposable diapers.  I would not have known about cloth diapers had not my husband’s cousin told me about them. She encouraged me, and I want to encourage others!  I started using cloth diapers to save money, and I want others to be able to do the same.

What products do your provide for new moms?

• Cloth diapers
• Safe Cloth Diaper Detergent & Diaper Rash Cream

Interview with La-Di-Da Baby

Tell me a little about your family.

Debbie has been married to her best friend for 32 years. She now has an empty nest, but looks forward to time spent with her granddaughters. Missy has been married for 8 years. She has developed an interest in sewing since the birth of her daughter.

What advice do you wish someone had given you as a new mom? What advice would you give to a new mom?

Limit unnecessary activities that overtax family time and tend to separate everyone in different directions. Be faithful in the God given responsibility of raising your child–don’t trust that to someone else. And, most importantly, faithfully follow God’s direction in His word concerning child rearing and trust Him with the results. He IS faithful.

What have been your favorite moments of motherhood?

Saturday night homemade pizza dinners, swimming together in the swimming pool, playing flashlight tag with the neighborhood children, the special smiles, hugs, sloppy kisses from toddlers. Things money can’t buy.

What has been your most challenging moments of motherhood?

HOMESCHOOL. For ten years. Hardest job I ever had, but worth every second, by God’s grace. Fatique, sleepless nights, worry over the future of each child.

What inspired you to start your business?

With the impending birth of our first granddaughter, we discovered that most of the baby items were “run of the mill” and expensive for mediocre quality. With a sewing background, we thought–“we can make this” and make it boutique grade!

What products do your provide for new moms?

• Ultra soft sheet savers with a unique design features
• Burp cloths made from premium cotton, warm and natural batting & cotton chenille.
• Burp cloths using flannel front &cotton terry cloth back
• Unique and colorful bibs
• Pack n play sheets
• Rag quilts
• Swaddle blankets in XL sizes

What is one product that you provide that you’d rather not live without?

Sheet savers are a huge time saver for a sleep deprived new mom. They protect the crib sheet from the inevitable mishaps that happen at all hours. We have a unique design for our sheet savers and they are a much higher quality than what is available in the box stores. Our sheet savers have detachable ribbon ties than can be unsnapped from the ties, avoiding having to retie the sheet saver every time it needs washed.
