Sprout Shell Open for Business!
8
Something new going on that is definitely worth posting about. (Don’t worry, Brit’s update is at the bottom).
My mom and I started a company called Sprout Shell. We make stylish infant carrier covers. Well, technically we don’t make them–my sewing skills are practically non-existent–but it’s our product and our business. There isn’t anything else like them on the market, so we’re really excited for the world’s babies to finally get the protection and covering they need!
Our Web site is SproutShell.com
Mark has been great at designing everything, from out logo to our business cards and Web site. Thanks sweetheart! You’re the best!
We think that all babies need a Sprout Shell. All the background is on our site. We’ve used one for Brit since he was born, and I’m so happy I didn’t have to use a blanket to cover him! It was so nice being able to take him out–to restaurants, the store etc. and not have people be able to breathe on him or touch him. It keeps out the wind so babies don’t get cold. It keeps out the sun so they don’t get burned while you’re out and about, or have the sun in their eyes while in the car. Now that he’s older I lift it up and have it partially cover him whenever I need to.
I know, I sound like a commercial. Sorry, I’m just really excited that these are finally available. We’ve been working really hard the past few months on them. So, If you know anyone who is pregnant, has a new born, or knows lots of people who are pregnant, tell them about it. It makes a great gift too.
So, about Brit–He continues to be a good-natured baby. We took him to a dinner party on Sunday and he stayed in his carrier just playing with his toy or looking around the whole time. Later people asked us if he was asleep. He has started to get scared at some noises though–like the whale sounds in Whale Rider or the Ringgggggggg of a telephone. But, he’s also very curious about everything and continues to reach out for toys and objects and put them in his mouth.
He is such a sweet angel while he sleeps! I love to just look at him.
I thought he looked so cute in his little out fit…

Darling. If it’s ok, I will do a little advertising on my blog. I’m surrounded by expectant moms. What a fabulous idea. Thanks to you and your mom for the brilliant idea. I love the colors and can’t wait to order one for myself.
