Is It Really Fall Already?

Where did summer go? Sometimes I swear I spend so much time in the basement the world moves along faster than I think! This summer seems to have just disappeared! Be sure you read Brooke's Blog to see what has been happening with Elliot!

We have been working on lots of new things for Elliot's Preemie Tees! We will be rolling out several new products very soon! The one I am most excited about is our new website!!! It is going to be awesome thanks to my awesome and smart son-in-law and my artsy, super talented daughter! It should be ready by the end of September. (I hope!) It is going to be super cool and the thing you will notice the most right off is how the awesome graphics will build the Preemie Tees right before your eyes! so be watching for that...you won't want to miss it!

In the next few weeks we will have several new products in our preemie clothes line, a dress, diaper cover and pants! We are also building new fabric offerings including a new selection of thermal cotton knits for the cooler weather months.

Also, we will be branching out into other areas not necessarily related to Preemies. Everything we do is because it relates to our personal journey and what we found we needed. One thing that was a particular interest to Brooke is her sense of fashion and the lack thereof in the diaper bag department! Diaper bags are in fact...ugly. She wanted a diaper bag that was fun! So we made her one. And like everything we do...one thing led to another and we made a few more as gifts for friends and neighbors who drooled over our handmade creations. Then one day my neighbor's sister, who was a recipient of one of the above gifts, suggested that we SELL the diaper bags. "No seriously, she said, I have people stop me everywhere I go and ask me where I got it. If you give me your business card I could sell a ton just by walking around the mall!" So we will be launching our amazing diaper bags that are very functional and beautiful in the next few weeks. What do you think about a matching monitor bag?

It is almost Halloween time again! For those who don't know we offer NICU friendly Halloween Costumes and those will be available in the next few weeks. We will have returning our Cat, Pumpkin and Ghost along with a few NEW ones! Stay tuned for a sneak preview! We will get pictures up for you to see as soon as we have them.

I have almost gotten the new preemie toddler sized training pants down! It has been a bit more challenging than I expected. And we don't want to put anything on our website to sell unless it is the best we can do! After dozens of test and feedback from customers who participated in the test we finally have it about right! We have been able to figure out how to make them as simply as possible and that is a good thing for pricing! Our prices will be low like all our other products. To give you an idea look at other training pants prices which are comparable to what we found out there on the web! We also figured out that the gap in the market is for toddlers who are ready to potty train but are still in clothes size 12-18 months. Our training pants will fill this gap! Anyway we hope to have them available for purchase by the end of September! Yay!!!

As you can see we have been working super hard! We love what we do and we are so glad that we can use our tough times and trials to bless others who have to go through what we did. One thing you can know with certainty is that we "get it!" We know what it's like and isn't that what life is all about to use your experience and wisdom to bless others? Pay it forward!
