I'm excited to announce a new weekly feature to the blog called....WOOT WOOT Wednesdays! I always have customers calling/emailing/texting about how much they love something they bought here at the store and I thought what better advertising could there be? So here it is, our very first....

Customer: Jess - A busy momma of four cute kiddos.
Item: the Keekaroo Cafe Booster seat
Why she thinks its "woot woot" worthy (in her words):
"When looking for an alternative to the high chair for my toddler, my biggest concerns were my child's safety and not damaging the chair. After looking at many boosters, I knew the Keekaroo Booster was the right choice. I I love that the booster is secured to the chair, and my child is secured to the booster seat. Except for the straps, the chair cleans up very easily. Plus, after our child outgrows it, I will keep it for little guests because it's very small to store."
And how cute is her lil one showing off her seat?

Thanks so much Jess. I'm so glad you love it!

If YOU want to rave about something you purchased here at Pout, shoot me an email at kris@poutbabyandkids.com. I'd love to hear from you!

Had to share...

A friend of mine got me hooked on this awesome gals website and I had to share this... Check her out at daniellelaporte.com

This is Your Guarantee of Failure. Proceed anyway.
GUARANTEED, FOR SURE, NO WAY OUT, GONNA HAPPEN, ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CERTAIN:
You will fail. At some point. More than once.
You will get hurt.
You’re going to get dumped, broken up with. Betrayed, even.
Heart broken. Heart.BROKEN.
You might get kicked out, rejected, canned. Denied entry.
Not invited.
You will be criticized.
You will be denied.
You’ll be too late.
You’ll give up too soon.
You’ll misread the fine print, sign a bad deal, and it’ll cost ya — dearly. You will miss opportunities, miss the mark, let some precious part of life pass you by. You won’t win. You will lose.
You will be wounded and you’ll have scars — that show.
You’ll have regrets.
And things you wish you could do over.
You’ll say things you wished you had never said.

There will be many, many things that you’ll wish you had said — fiercely loving and bravely tender things, righteously justice-rendering things that could change everything — but instead, you’ll fail to rise in the way you wanted to.

There’s no mystery, there’s no avoiding it, and no one born has ever, or will ever, be immune. Failing is as certain as sunsets and detours. So why exert energy avoiding the avoidable? Shift your energy from protecting yourself from failure to squeezing the life out of life.

Let your guard down, take the breaks off, and tear up that insurance policy – it was a rip off anyway. The status quo has been feeding you factory-grade illusions. Sign up, speak up, get out, and get it on. You will fail. At some point. More than once. Guaranteed. Proceed anyway.

Happy Thursday... Kris

How cute is Holly's lil man Henry in the cute new outfit we got in? It's nice to have a boy around to model for us :)

A few weeks ago for Lu's FIFTH birthday, Holly and I (and her hubby Luke) brought the kiddos on a trip to Minneapolis for a little fun instead of having a big birthday party. Needless to say...we had SO MUCH fun! Here's a few of the highlights.... We surprised the girls with matching Ooh lala outfits for them and their American Girl dolls Rosie & McKenna.

Manicures...

Birthday lunch at American Girl...

Then onto the rides! Seriously...I think this is my favorite picture of the trip! Is it wrong that Holly and I are laughing hysterically while our kids are completely and totally horrified?!

It really was a much needed vacation for all of us. With Holly living in Valley City we just don't see them enough so I think this might have to become an annual tradition.

Also...our Memorial Day hours will be the same as usual with the exception that we will be CLOSED on Monday. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Kris

Big news...

The Nose Frida is back in stock! Yep...I'll try not to run out again, I promise.
