This is an important time of year for my family. In the midst of all the celebrating, eating, and visiting with our loved ones, it’s also the time we show gratitude to one another. It’s a time where we take inventory of all the wonderful things we have in our life and appreciate them. Whatever you appreciate (a comfortable home, a steady job, the people around you, or anything else), make a point to let others know.
Hopefully you were able to visit with the important people in your life over Thanksgiving and express to them exactly why you’re thankful. If you didn’t, there’s always time!
This season, we’ll be showing our appreciation for our success by donating some Zippyz to people who need it. For every Zippyz purchased on our website, we’ll be donating one to a local women’s shelter until December 31st.
Many of the women that pass through the doors of this shelter have children, and they need all the help they can get. They don’t have a lot of support in their lives, so we want to use this as an opportunity to help them.
This shelter is a very worthy cause and I know the administrators personally. Help us help them by buying a Zippyz today.

Like most new moms, Lisa had been up night after night changing her newborn son’s diaper. She was so exhausted she could barely function, let alone match up the tiny snaps on her baby’s pajamas.
Frustrated by endless mis-snapping and re-snapping, Lisa found zippered pajamas, and thought her problems had been solved. That night when she unzipped her son’s pajamas, he started to cry from the shock of cold air. Although less time consuming, Lisa hated that she had to expose her baby’s entire body with the zipper. She felt her baby’s comfort should come first and yearned for the perfect footed pajama, which was both soft and cozy for her baby and hassle-free for mommy.
One night while feeding her son she thought of “Zippyz.” Zippyz are patented footed baby pajamas for easy and fast diaper changes with 3 snaps on the chest and a zipper from foot to belly. Finally, a solution suitable for baby AND mommy! Plus Zippyz are a unique baby shower gift! Along with her best friend and business partner Erica, Lisa decided make the diaper changing world a better place for all new parents!

Spending quality time with your family can’t be emphasized enough. This is especially the case in today’s society where it seems as if everyone is always busy and there’s very little free time between work, school, chores, errands, and everything else that gets in the way. Regardless of how busy life can get, making sure to keep your family as one of the highest priorities is important to keeping the bond of your family unit strong. Here are some reasons for making quality time with your family:
A doctor’s visit is almost as bad as a nightmare for some children. Dealing with these trips to the doctor takes a special kind of care and preparation in order for it to go as smoothly as possible. The main aspect to keep in mind is that your child is simply scared of something bad happening to them, so making sure to comfort and reassure them as much as possible is important. Here’s how you can prepare for the doctor visit:
To children, play is serious business. It’s essential to the development of their intellectual, physical, and emotional health. From our perspective, play can look like silly fun, but to children play is how they experiment and observe the world. A playroom is important because it gives kids a dedicated space to play without interfering with the rest of the home.
As if travel preparations weren’t difficult enough, doing it while you’re pregnant makes things even trickier. If you can get your doctor’s blessing and make smart preparations, there’s no reason to miss out on enjoying travel. If you’re planning on hitting the road, learning how to stay comfortable and educate yourself about which activities are safe, will also go a long way to make your trip less stressful and more enjoyable. Here are some packing essentials for your trip as a mom-to-be:
Before having children, I never thought mornings were very special. I didn’t dislike the mornings, but I never greeted the sun with a smile like they do in the movies. I would wake up and immediately begin to consider the things I had to do that day.
