Let’s talk about the little people in our lives…
Chances are that most of the time you are more concerned about what they are wearing than what you are wearing. I get it! There really is nothing cuter than little people dressed well. So it is easy to get obsessed. However, shopping with your kids and babies can be such a taxing experience. Between tears, arguing and the not so fun run-away and hide in the clothing racks game, it is hard to focus on finding cute clothes. Fortunately for us busy mommies, there are so many darling online stores that this whole “I need a big glass of wine shopping experience” can be avoided. By shopping online you can take your time and best of all, there is no screaming involved. This means you can actually concentrate on what you are are buying. And just imagine how chic your little ones can look when that happens. Here our some of MCbJ’s fave sites. xx
Janie and Jack is definitely one of our favorite clothing brand for kiddos. Although their price range is considered to be on the high-end side for kids, we can’t help but to love their cute yet, classic designs and quality. It’s no wonder why celeb mom Katie Holmes loves this line as well – remember Suri in this adorable Eiffel Tower dress by Janie and Jack? We’re also a fan of their shoes and accessories as they pair perfectly with the clothes. Make sure to check out their sale items to stock up for your kiddos and last-minute gifts for birthdays and other occasions. We can’t get enough of this Metallic Pineapple Print Dress and Eyelet Collar Oxford Romper for girls; and a pair of Striped Shorts with crisp, Dobby Dress Shirt for boys.
Pumpkin Patch first started in New Zealand and quickly expanded into Australia, the US and UK over the years. The designs are not only pretty to look at, the company stands behind their quality as well. If you’re not happy with the quality you can return it anytime – no time limit, and no questions asked. We also love shopping on this website without feeling buyer’s remorse. Everyone at MCbJ is lovin’ this cute embroidered top (on sale for $11.99!) and dungarees (on sale for $13.99) for little girls; and this easy to throw on cardi and leaf print boardshort for boys. Pumpkin Patch also has everything you need for a baby – from bottles, changing bags, Babybjörn carriers to maternity lingerie – it’s a one stop shop for busy moms and moms-to-be.
We’re frequent shoppers on diapers.com and their sister companies like soap.com and wag.com. They have everything you need – from diapers (of course), clothes, to strollers – you can easily find all the essentials you need for the entire family. One of the reasons we love shopping on this website is their fast delivery. If you spend $49 or more, they offer 2-day shipping for free and if you spend less than that there is a $5.99 flat rate fee. If you’re a first time diapers.com customer, you’ll get $10 off a case of diapers (enter code HEYMAMA at checkout) plus, save 15% off on other items (enter code THOUSANDS at checkout). Also, diapers.com has a top-notch customer service, available 24 hours a day, everyday. Download their app on your phone so you can shop fast and easy anywhere and anytime. That’s one last less thing off your plate, right?
We go to Chasing Fireflies mostly for party supplies and kids costumes for holidays and special events. They have a nice selection of things you need to throw great parties and you can even get inspired to choose a theme when you’re running out of ideas. Also, their wide selection of costumes for the whole family (there is a selection for your Fido as well) makes shopping for Halloween much easier and fun. The only complaint we have with Chasing Fireflies is that they don’t offer free shipping or returns. Shipping is based on the total amount of the order and return fee is $6.95 if you choose to use their pre-paid label.
Lillian Vernon is all about personalization. You can monogram anything you want – from toys, flip flops, beach totes to even pencils – everything is more fun and unique when you add a personal touch to them. One of MCbJ’s staff gave this personalized beach tote to her niece and nephew and they were a big hit! Although you have to pay for shipping (the rate is based on the total amount of the order) personalization is always free.
Our newest online shopping find is Hatched Baby. We love the brands they carry, such as Milk and Honey, Cleobella and Mini Rodini. I mean, how cute is this Chevron Dress by Milk and Honey? And we can’t get enough of this cool onesie for boys! Also, if you’re a mama who is a fan of organic clothing, you can shop their Organics Collection. Shipping is free for orders over $75 and for anything less, they charge a flat rate of $6. Trés baby chic and well priced. Definitely a new MCbJ go-to!
