Attn: Maternity & Pregnancy Related Businesses!

The Baby Store Plus is putting together "Mommy-To-Be Gift Bags" that we will be giving out to Pregnant Moms at our store beginning April 1st.

The Gift Bags will contain:

• Product Samples such as breast pads, nipple creams, teas, etc.
• Informational brochures related to pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, etc.
• Resource information to support new moms.
• Discounts, Coupons, Gift Cards
• Breastfeeding Logs, Breast milk storage magnets, & other misc freebies.

If you have any pregnancy, maternity, birth, breastfeeding, or new mom product related samples, information, or coupons that you would like to included in our Gift Bags, please contact me at thebabystoreplus@gmail.com with "Gift Bag" in the subject line. {Submissions are subject to approval, must be related to theme as stated above.}


Update 3/01/10: We are receiving such a wonderful response from maternity, breastfeeding, & new mom related companies that want to participate in our "Mommy-To-Be Gift Bag" giveaway. I am getting very excited about the great value filled bags that the new mommies will receive. We are planning to fill 50 bags, but may need to increase that number if we start to run too low before Mother's Day, which is the planned finale of this event.

One of the most common question that I am getting is, "Can we submit brochures?" The answer is "Yes, you can." If you can also offer a discount code for the moms to use to purchase your product at some point in the future, that would be a wonderful bonus. It will also give your product greater exposure because a mom using a product will create more mommy conversations then a brochure that a mom has read. If you have samples, that is even better. Example...the gift bags will include a 4 pack of Medela Disposable Breast pads (as well as other brands) along with a discount coupon towards the future purchase of this product. This allows moms to actually try the product out themselves, then receive a discount on their first purchase if they like it.

Another question is, "You are a retail store owner, can I submit a product sample that competes with a product brand that you carry in your store?" The answer is again, "Yes" This giveaway is not about me. I want to give moms-to-be a gift that is valuable and useful to them, regardless of where the product comes from. Besides, if the moms love your product and want us to carry it in our store, then I will be in touch with you :)

The deadline to receive submissions is March 20, 2010, as we will be filling the Gift Bags after that. I cannot guarantee that late submissions will make it in all of the bags. I reserve the right to refuse any product that is not directly related to pregnancy, maternity, breastfeeding, or being a new mom, if you are unsure, just email me first. If your product is specifically related, feel free to go ahead and send a minimum quantity of 50, to:

The Baby Store Plus
Attn: Mommy-To-Be-Gift Bag
28 W Main Street
Cortez, CO 81321

When we are ready to start giving out the Gift Bags I will post on this blog, and within any publicity that we may do in relation to this event, the item submitted, company name & contact information, as well as websites for all products that we receive (and accept), for submission in the Gift Bags.

Thank you all for your generous participation!

Baby Be Mine Maternity Belly Bands

Baby Be Mine Belly Bands...It's a Maternity Belly Band to fashionably cover your growing belly, No it's a Cute Top to show off your Pregnant Belly, No it's a Nursing Belly Band to cover your 'baby belly' while nursing...Well Actually it's All of These!

If you are newly pregnant and nothing fits, your regular clothes are too small, too tight, and too short to cover your belly and you're maternity clothes are still too big, then the Baby Be Mine belly band has got you covered...literally!

Or you want to show off your growing belly in a fun way, the Baby Be Mine belly band works as a fun way to expose your belly as a belly band for the layered look and cover the ugly maternity waist band, (or they are so long you could probably even wear them as a tube top like on our mannequin here.)~~>

And after baby is born, they cover your unbuttoned pants that don't quite fit yet for a layered look, or cover your 'after-baby' tummy while you breastfeed.

Versatile, chic, fun and totally reasonably priced at just $16.95!!

Check out these cute designs! (see more designs in-store or in our online store)





(not designed to 'hold up' your pants or skirt, just to cover the unbuttoned pants or ugly elastic band on maternity pants or fill the gap of short shirts.)

Boogie Wipes ~ "Snot Your Average Wipe!"

Woo Hoo! Boogie Wipes are Here!!
We've got them in Fresh, Menthol, & Fun Grape Scent too!

I sound pretty excited but I wasn't always. The first time I heard about Boogie wipes was 2 years ago when Julie & Mindee (inventors) were being interviewed on the Donny Deutsch show "The Big Idea" (watch the video interview here) and I thought, "Well that's kind of dumb. Its just a wipe that they are marketing as something special suggesting that you use it to wipe your childs runny nose with." Boy was I the dumb one!

Fast-forward almost 2 years later -my daughter and I are using regular wipes to wipe up my grandchildrens faces after lunch and to wipe their hands when they needed a quick de-stickiness. We found that the alcohol in regular wipes was really irritating their sensitive skin. I was wishing that there was a wipe that didn't have all the alcohol...my thoughts drifted back to the Boogie Wipes. Then one of our customers, Jackie Davis, asked me about the Boogie Wipes. She told me that she loved them for runny noses. With this being cold & flu season, runny noses where also becoming an issue for my grandbabies, creating such sore little noses. So out of desperation I bought a pack of Boogie Wipe and used them on my grandbabies. To my amazement, they worked wonderful on their runny noses. I thought they would just smear the, well, snot. But they didn't, they cut right through it better than any dry tissue, and because they are sturdy I didn't have a problem with my finger push right through, like with a tissue. And they did NOT irritate my grandbabies skin...actually their little faces and noses looked better & less dry when using the Boogie Wipes.

So there you have it...I was a skeptic and now I have to eat my words. So, Julie & Mindee, I apologize for doubting you! Boogie Wipes are Wonderful! So wonderful in fact, that I now stock them at my store! So now moms can find three different scents of Boogie Wipes: Fresh, Menthol (my fav) and Grape (the grandkids fav) at The Baby Store Plus.

Stop by the store to pick up a
Free Boogie Wipe Sample
so you don't waste 2 years doubting them!
(available while supplies last)

Watch this video by the Boogie Mommies themselves as they explain what Boogie Wipes are and how they work!

Boogie Wipes are made with saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments. Extra soft and scented in Great Grape, Fresh Scent or Magic Menthol (for extra stuffy noses) Boogie Wipes are recommended by Pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

How are Boogie Wipes different
than a regular baby wipe?

• Made with Natural Saline to Dissolve Mucus
  
• Hypoallergenic
• Alcohol Free
• Moisturize with Vitamin E, Aloe and Chamomile
• Fun Scents Kids Love
• Gentle Enough for All Ages
• Phthalate & Paraben Free

And...The packaging is recyclable and they actually encourage people to recycle right on the package. Speaking of the package...it is very compact and has a tight sealing, snap-shut lid, so you can easily toss it in your diaper bag or purse without fear of it leaking.

The Baby Store Plus would like to help you Child Proof Your Home

Did you know that accidents in the home are the No 1 killer of children in the US? But most of these accidents could have been prevented. The Baby Store Plus would like to help you Child Proof Your Home. Use the tips below to help you keep your children safe at home. To help you make your home safer, The Baby Store Plus will give you 10% Off your purchase of any of our Child Safety products thru the end of February!

Childproofing Steps:

The most effective way to ensure your baby's safety is to take a baby's-eye view of your home. Get down on your hands and knees and see how things look from down there. What's within reach? What looks tempting to an infant or toddler? Where would you go if you could crawl, toddle, or walk? You should repeat this step often, as your child grows, looking higher each time.

~Install Locks on all cabinets & drawers and Never leave any medications or cleaning products in an unlocked cabinet or drawer.

~Install covers on all electrical outlets within your childs reach.

~Get in the habit of unplugging hair dryers & other small electrical devices after use.

~Install toilet locks to keep toilet lids closed. Children are top-heavy and can lean and fall into a toilet easily.

~Use doorknob covers to keep children out of rooms and other areas with hazards, such as swimming pools.

~Install Appliance Locks to keep children out of refridgerators & freezers. Remove the doors from unused appliances so a small child cannot become locked inside one.

~Keep curtain/blinds cords wrapped up high, out of reach and/or use cord covers.

~Prevent furniture from tipping over onto a child by securing bookcases, shelving, & heavy furniture to walls with brackets.

~Use Switch Extensions on light switches that are too high for small children, to prevent them from climbing on unsafe objects to reach the switch.


~All of the tips above are great, but don't let them give you a false sense of safety. Supervision is the best safety device you can have, but not always possible every single minute of every day and that is why these safety devices are needed.

Save 10% on all Baby Safety Devices at The Baby Store Plus. Online: use "Coupon Code: SAFETY10", discount will be applied to all 'Mommy's Helper' safety devices and 'Kid-Switch' Switch Extensions. In-store: look for our Child Proof Rack Cards near safety items and find a 10% Off Coupon on the back.

If you have a Safety Tip that you would like to add, especially something that you have learned about due to an experience with your child, please share it with other moms. Just post your comment below, we would love to hear from you.

FREE SHIPPING on Select ERGObaby Organic Infant Carriers

Now through the end of February The Baby Store Plus is Offering FREE SHIPPING on ERGObaby Organic Emboridered Infant Carriers!

Don't miss this Great Deal!

Choose either the Organic Blue Starburst Embroidered or Organic Black Butterfly Embroidered Infant Carrier and pay NO SHIPPING!

ERGObaby is proud to introduce their Organic Embroidered carriers. They come in a luscious organic black or blue organic cotton with stunning multicolored embroidered patterns of either a Starburst (blue) or a Butterfly (black).

This lovely carrier has a sleeping hood that snaps directly onto the waist belt, rather than storing in a pocket. This design was created to enhance the gorgeous embroidery, keeping it visible at all times! Though this Carrier does not include the zippered pocket, the matching Front Pouch is a perfect place to store any necessities, including keys, a cell phone, a diaper and wipes, keeping all items easy to reach, and leaving you completely HandsFree!

Organic Cotton, Good for You, Good for Nature

Why Buy Organic?

Organic cotton is produced without the use of harsh chemicals. Instead natural fertilizers, compost and the use of natural pest control have helped make the growing of organic cotton a viable enterprise.

The benefit of producing cotton organically, to the consumer, especially our babies, is the softness and quality that only organic cotton can provide. This is one of the top reasons people choose organic cotton for their delicate baby’s skin.

ERGObaby's New 100% Organic Cotton Carriers (including the linings, Infant Inserts and Accessories*) are certified by the Control Union Certifications (formerly Skal International) in the Netherlands. CU is an independent, internationally operating organization that carries out inspections and issues certificates for sustainable production methods.

CU is accredited to carry out inspection and certification services according to the:

• EU organic requirements (EEC Regulation 2092/91)
• USA organic requirements
• National Organic Program (NOP) of the USDA
• Japanese organic requirements

When you buy Organic, you can be sure that the fabric came from partnership with Mother Earth.

Organic Baby Carrier Features

• Ergonomic design
• 400 threads per inch organic cotton poplin lining and hood
• 100% cotton batting in body of carrier to soften edges

Baby Names ~ What's the Story Behind YOUR Name?

Many parents spend a great deal of time picking out their baby's name. For some parents there is no need to pick a name because they feel obligated to name their child after an older relative, while others have had a name picked out before they even conceived the child. Most parents have a name picked out at some point before the baby is born, while others don't decide until they are pressured to choose a name by the hospital staff anxious to submit the birth certificate documents.
But one thing is for sure with everyone's name...there is a story behind how your parents picked your name. Share that story with us. Perhaps a mommy-to-be will read your story and think that is so cool that they will give their baby the same name.

What is Your Name, and what's the Story Behind Your Name? Let me be the first to share. My name now, is not my birth name. I was named Polly Anna by my mother who watched the Haley Mills movie "PollyAnna" right before I was born. That was in the 60's. Sounds like a cute name for a little girl in the 60's but try growing up with that name. I was teased relentlessly throughout my school years, and even in to high school. I was so sick of "Polly Want a Cracker" "Polly Wog" and many other cat-calls that I heard throughout my youth. When I became an adult (and a paralegal) I legally changed my name to Anna Claudia.

The story behind "Anna Claudia"... Well Anna was my middle name and it was a pretty neutral name so I changed it to my first name. "Claudia" was the first name of my great-grandmother who had such a positive influence on me as a child. We actually called her Grandma Claud, instead of Claudia. She was such a strong figure that we called her husband Grandpa Claud, poor guy didn't even have his own identitiy, lol. She passed away before I became an adult but I still think of her at least a few times a week, to this very day. It makes my heart smile every time I tell someone that my name is Anna Claudia.
So What's the Story Behind YOUR Name?
