The cuddly Owl teaches kids to do just that! What could be better?

Kid-Friendly Plush, Parent-Friendly Design. Kids love the soft and cuddly Owl! His tummy is fun to press. Parents appreciate the function and form. Concealed "parental" control panel provides access to clock options and instructions.

Ooh La La!

Check out a few of these ADORABLE sassy outfits that we just got in....



It really doesn't get much cuter.

Also, did you know that its the first ever SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY? Sounds a little happier than "Black Friday" huh? I know it's hard to pass up some of the flashy "must have" toys and gifts from the big box stores but be sure to stop in to some of your favorite local businesses this Holiday season. $68 of every $100 spent at a locally owned business STAYS IN THE COMMUNITY.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

I hate to break it to you...

but I AM NOT a girl who gets up at the crack of dawn for Black Friday "deals". This means Pout will be open regular hours of 10am-6pm on Friday. In keeping with the holiday spirit however, we will be having some FABULOUS sales going on so stop in if your out and about shopping!

Now lets catch up on the new stuff that's been coming in...

Check out these ADORABLE "lacette" legwarmers!

I also got more of my "rocker" blabla hand knit dolls in! Seriously, how cute are miss Lola and mr. Otto?


And for you cloth diaper mommas...we just got in the BRAND NEW "Funk Rock" by Rockin Green detergent. It's an ammoinia buster treatment that you can use periodically or in every wash to help get rid of the "stinkies".

There is much more to share so I promise to be better at blogging!

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Although Lucy will be with her dad, I have so much to be thankful for and am lucky to have such wonderful friends and family to share my day with.

Happy Thanksgiving!

simple wishes

As a mom who nursed and pumped for a year, I KNOW how inconvenient and trying pumping can be. I was lucky enough to have borrowed an awesome "hands free" strap from my sister and honestly don't know how anyone pumps without one. While I was at market, I came across an updated and more user friendly version of a hands free bustier and ordered them on the spot.

Simple Wishes Bustier allows multi-tasking moms the chance to be more productive while they pump, or simply to take a breath and recapture a moment for themselves. Stylish and functional, and grounded in innovative, thoughtful design, the Bustier is an affordable and quality alternative to the fussy and unflattering hands free alternatives on the market. Although the pictures are kind of silly, any pumping mom will tell you how AMAZING it would be to be able to work, put make up on, or even just talk on the phone while pumping!





If you don't have one of these you need to stop in and check them out!

For a good cause...

My friend Melissa who I've known since high school is doing a great thing that I thought I'd pass along.

During parent/teacher conferences for her oldest son, she was made aware of the fact that there are 5 kids in Anthony's class that do not receive milk each day at milk break. 5 kids that cannot receive it because there families cannot afford it. When she had the conversation with his teacher about it she thought instead of feeling sorry for them she was going to try raise the funds needed. So starting in December Melissa's goal is for them to receive milk just like their friends every day. She needs to raise $420 total and anything that goes over that she will be donating to Reinertsen School for any other kids that are not receiving milk. To make a donation you can go here. On Melissa's behalf, I thank you for all of your support and helping to "be the change"!

more Earth friendly toys!





This adorable line of toys from EverEarth(TM) is kid safe, eco friendly, and manufactured with wood taken from renewable forests, as well as recycled rubber wood. They’ve also taken care to only use water color based paints that contain less chemicals than the traditional acrylic paints used by most manufactures. EverEarth's hope is that others will also take the “eco” high ground and follow their lead for a better tomorrow. Green Today… Here Tomorrow. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that they are ADORABLE too.

Awwww....

When I was at market last month this was one of my absolute favorite finds! Most of you know that I'm divorced which means my little Lucy goes to her dad's every other weekend and has since she was one. I keep expecting it to get easier but unfortunately I think it's one of those things I'll just have to learn to deal with. She LOVES going to her dad's but there is definitely challenges that come along with that. I've always wanted to have something special to send with her to remind her that I'm always with her but haven't found the right thing...until now.

Check out these amazing "family tie" jewelry sets!

The idea behind this unique line of jewelry is to allow you and your child to wear a bracelet that symbolizes your unbreakable bond. Whether you are together or apart, the bracelet serves as a symbol of this cherished relationship. The centerpiece of each piece is a pendant made from 925 Sterling Silver. One side of the pendant features your choice of either a heart or a star. The pendant is linked by an adjustable Italian woven nylon bracelet.

Family Ties jewelry is available in two sizes: adult and child. Available for purchase individually or in sets. Presented in a beautiful box that makes them a perfect gift.

I can't WAIT to give Lucy her bracelet!

Have a great weekend.

Preggie pop drops

My biggest goal on my trip to market last month was to add some "momma" products and this is just one of the many new things to come. I get SO MANY request for Preggie Pops that I finally have them on the shelves so stop in and grab some if you are battling morning sickness!



Doctor recommended, drug-free, and made with Natural ingredients, these are definitely a great way to ease the queasiness that can come along with those first few months of pregnancy.

I'm still getting together my Halloween pictures so I'll be sure to post some of my lil bunny and her best bud Scooby Doo later in the week.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!
