Mother of 4 Baby Store - Gifts for baby

Johnson & Johnson said it best, "Having a Baby changes everything". Having a baby is a huge event and one to be celebrated with close family and friends. Everyone has attended a baby shower where the mom-to-be gets EVERYTHING on her registry and everyone says "How cute" a million times regardless if its truly cute! ha. That is great and all, but where does the surprise element come in to play? Everyone loves surprises, so I think it's good to purchase one gift on the registry and one gift that is totally unexpected and creative.

That is where Mother of 4 Baby Store can come handy.

Jessica, creater of Mother of 4 Baby store, knows firsthand what moms to be will use and need. On top of that, she adds a little flair and creativity that will make your baby stand out.

How she finds the time to create these custom pieces while raising 4 kids is amazing to me! Talk about a multi-tasker!

"People go crazy at Babies R Us buying all the cute little things, but having been there so many times, I have basically figured out what every mom needs to survive the early days." Jessica said. "It all started because I enjoy sewing and making crafty things for baby showers! I take pride in knowing that new parents love and adore the things that I make from my heart."

Check out some of her original designs below.

Pillowcase Dresses
The Pillowcase Dress is a dress made for girls of any size! Its a very versatile piece for every girls wardrobe!

The "Mommy Towel"
The "Mommy Towel" is a cute, fun, and convenient way to bath baby without getting mommy all wet during the fun :)

The "Baby Burpees"
The Burpee is a cute, fun, and stylish burp cloth, sure to grab attention!

Classic Diaper Cakes
You can never go wrong with this gift. Diapers are a must and I would be happy to pay someone else to make this. I heard they take a long time to create!

The "Baby Bath Bundle"
The "Baby Bath Bundle" is a super cute, affordable, easy & convenient way to keep baby neccessities together for on the go!

"I can honestly say that people at baby showers are suprised when they see some of the things I make. I've had people say, 'Can I just come see your house so I know what to register for', its kinda funny :)" said Jessica.

Be sure to call Fret Knot Events to help create an unforgettable baby shower and bring along a gift custom made by Mother of 4 Baby Store. You will have all your friends wanting to have babies just to have the cute party and gifts. Okay maybe not, but it's a reason to celebrate.

Happy Planning!

Centerpieces that Rock

Thank you to Nannette for inviting me to "Dinner with Friends" last night. The event theme was "Picture Perfect" and about dealing with unexpected situations that may come up in life. All the hosts sponsored their own table and invited friends who made a difference in their life that year. In addition, the host also pampers and treats their girlfriends to a nice evening filled with great food and conversation topics to get the night started. Nannette is a English teacher who is passionate about books. I loved her table's theme, "A Novel Idea". I wanted to share some of the awesome and creative centerpieces that I ran across at the event. Very simple, very creative and it was so great to see how creative everyone is.

P.S. I apologize for the fuzzy picture quality. I took them with my iPhone which has no flash. Thanks Apple!

The Table Setting created for "A Novel Idea"

She took a "Fairy Tale and Once Upon a Time" Scrapbook page and laminated it.

The napkin rings were made with small book covers that she printed from her computer.

This one has Harry Potter on it -one of her favorite books.

"A Novel Idea" Centerpiece by Nannette

She included all of her favorite books and let us pick one to take home.

Very nice gift - I took home The Kite Runner

Join the Movement
Honoring the hostess's friend who had been diagnosed with MS.

When Life hands you Lemons...

Thanks again to Nannette for inviting me to a wonderful event that got me really excited about having great people in your life and made me realize no one has a "picture perfect" life. There are going to be challenges and ups and downs. That is why you must celebrate and surround yourself with great people. Most importantly, you must let your supporters know how much you appreciate them. That is why we must continue to have "Dinner with Friends (and Family for that matter)".

I am considering hosting a table next year to show my appreciation to those who have helped me through those "not-so-perfect" times. You know who you are :)

Thanks to all for your continued support!

Fret Knot and Be Happy
