Rocking And Romping

Mothersville will be closing at 2pm on Saturday, April 28 so that I can haul my child and fetus to the first Rock 'n' Romp show of the season.



If you'd like to join us, head to www.memphisrocknromp.blogspot.com or email memphisrocknromp@gmail.com to get the details. (It seems a little secret clubby to get in, but that's just because the shows are in someone's backyard, so they need to keep a handle on the number of people planning to come. Plus it makes us old people feel sort of cool and exclusive again.)

All new! All here!

Ever have one of those, um, seasons? We've been keeping so busy around here with new spring/summer products coming in that it's been hard to take the time to let y'all know about them. But here we are, spring officially underway, so I wanted to take a moment to present some of the cool new stuff you'll find at the store these days.

FOCOLOCO!

We're so pleased to be partnering with this small, family-run, eco-conscious, and super cool clothing company. They design and screen their own fun, whimsical and cheeky designs onto organically grown, 100% sweatshop-free onesies, t-shirts and hats. They even hand-dye all garments themselves, using dyes with the lowest possible environmental impact. What more could you ask for? Oh, right, a reasonable price. They got that, too!

ADVOCACY TEES!

Back by popular demand, we have brought in Little Showoffs' "still breastfeeding" tees in both mom and baby/toddler sizes. Shirts for the little ones are undyed organic cotton, and the mama tees are in a flattering pale pink, both printed on sweatshop-free togs from American Apparel.

SKIP HOP!

We love these diaper bags both for their adult-friendly color schemes as well as their parent-friendly functionality. Built like messenger bags but featuring all the essentials, like a well-stuffed changing pad and super-handy built-in stroller clips, these bags will be useful long after your diapering days are done. In designs ranging from camouflage to bubble-gum dots, there's a Skip Hop bag to meet every mood.

SWIMMIS!

From our trusted friends at Bummis comes the all-new Swimmi swim diaper. Never scramble around looking for disposable swim diapers again! These adorable, reusable swimpants are made with the same well fitting design as the original Bummis, but with interior mesh for easy cleanups and a coated nylon inner layer to make sure your little one is the only thing floating in the neighborhood pool.

And that's not all! We have a whole slew of new Hotslings pouches in the sling zone, plus a constantly changing selection of this season's Robeez. We've also got a thorough collection of Glamourmom Nursing Tanks in both their regular and new longer lengths as well as an extremely versatile knee-length nursing dress, perfect for all summer occasions. Plus new cotton diaper covers from Green Earth Textiles. And probably at least three other things I'm forgetting right now, thanks to an ever-increasing case of pregnancy brain. So just come in and take a look!
