The Age Old Technique: Swaddling








When I had my first baby almost ten years ago, swaddling hadn't come back into fashion. In fact my "mommy" friends and myself didn't know what it was exactly nor the value of swaddling a newborn. Perhaps because the so-called "baby blankets" on the market ten years ago were typically knit jersey fabric and not generous enough in size to swaddle. And even if you could have swaddled the baby with these knit blankets, the baby most likely would have seriously overheated with the bulkiness of the fabric.

So much has changed (for the better) in the last ten years with regards to baby gear and baby care techniques. And now the AGE OLD technique of swaddling has really come back as a popular way to soothe and calm a newborn. It helps transition a newborn baby from the womb to the world. And studies suggest that a baby sleeps better and longer. An added plus is having a newborn's little arms tucked in to keep away the face scratches and the sudden arm movements which can startle them.

Today new mothers-to-be can easily find the appropriate size blankets and weights to successfully swaddle. There are summer weight swaddle blankets and winter weight swaddle blankets available on the market now with so many print styles to choose from.

At Hooray! Children's Store we offer both summer and winter weight swaddling blankets in modern & chic prints. Our swaddle blankets are very generous in size and are made in a lightweight open-weave cotton that just keeps getting softer and softer after each wash. And, who knows...these blankets may even become the child's favorite SECURITY blanket as they enter toddlerhood.

Stop in a see our selection of swaddle blankets. We even have matching burp cloths. A great gift idea for the new mother!

Think Spring!

We are ready for Spring at Hooray! Children's Store. New
shipments are arriving daily...and it is always so much fun
to open each box to find the unique Spring items we have selectively picked to fill our store.

One of our favorite brands we offer is Lemon Loves Lime. We love the ruffles, the comfort and ease of knit dressing, and we especially love the outrageous applique tees.

This season we have hunted "high & low" for new items you will not see anywhere else. We have headbands coming in from Brazil, swimmwear from Australia, and several new small USA companies putting a new vintage spin on children's clothes.

Come in and check out all our new finds! We have loads of fun stuff in our store. And just in case you can't make it to our store, you'll find some of our cool clothing items, shoes, & toys available on our website.

Hooray for Spring!

Hooray! Holiday Open House!

Not only are we excited to be in our new location, but now we have the space to decorate and stock fun and exciting items for the holidays!

This coming week-end, November 5, 6, & 7th, is our Holiday Open House. And to kick the season off to a festive start, we have invited artist, Dakri Sinclair, to set up "shop" for a day of fun with her hand painted Christmas ornaments.

Come in with your gift-giving list and she will hand paint and personalize each ornament that will become a keep-sake. From baby's first Christmas to monogrammed ornaments. Each one is a treat to receive! We are excited that she can join our open house this year.

We are also fully stocked with wooden & educational toys! Not to mention the selection of great holiday dresses and outfits. So many treasures to choose from! One for you...and two for me.

Hooray! We expanded!











































What a spring & summer this has been!
With fast pace as our "norm"...this spring and summer was jammed into high-gear not only with kids, school stuff, running a business...but, oh yeah... the additional task of renovating a historic building to expand our store. Are we crazy!? (positively.)
OOOoooh, but the possibilities are endless. As any designer might admit, this is what we love! The planning and daydreaming. And, if you make a mistake...well then...let's just rewind and start all over. And, that is the best part of daydreaming. No demolition involved...just yet.


Enjoy the pictures! Everything was gutted. Even the front was torn off and completely rebuilt. We thank DeWeese construction for their amazing wood-working talent. Bravo!
Stop in and see our new location. We know you will enjoy the visit!

Zutano baby!

We have carried Zutano since opening our store four years ago. And, this brand is a mom favorite because of the cute prints and great price point.

Our goal is to offer our internet shoppers a similar experience to shopping our brick & mortar store. As we all know, time can get away...with work...kids...work...juggling act. You know the drill. So not all products make it onto our website.

However, this month we will be adding Zutano as one of our featured brands! We think you will be delighted with any Zutano purchase. We raised our babies on this comfy knit mix-n-match line and fell in LOVE with the easy care. And, best of all the prints do not fade and your baby will be stinkin' CUTE & KISSABLE!!
