Mimi’s Babies (& A Giveaway)

What’s not to love about crocheted hats, knitted dishcloths and blankets, customized buggy buddies (i.e. grocery cart covers), aprons and precious children’s monogrammed clothing?

Absolutely nothing! That’s why I love Mimi’s Babies so much!

I have known “Mimi” aka Debbie for 3 1/2 years. When I first met her, I immediately knew that she was a kindred spirit and incredibly easy to converse with. Debbie loves to sew (and she’s amazing at it!) and when she found out I was pregnant she said that she wanted to make a buggy buddy for me (well, for Ridley, of course!)

After I started blogging and became more active online, I found Etsy…and Debbie came to mind. During our next conversation, I told her that she should follow her dream of custom sewing by opening an Etsy shop and starting a blog to promote her products.

The next time I saw Debbie she informed me that she and her daughter-in-law (also the sweetest person) Charissa were starting a business called Mimi’s Babies. Their Etsy shop was under construction and Charissa was busy working on the blog. I was ecstatic – to say the very least!!

Ridley is enjoying his “Buggy Buddy” and I love that it keeps the nasty germs away-especially during this yucky time of year. You can read more wonderful things about the Buggy Buddy here.


I was so surprised (and blessed/happy) when Debbie delivered these gorgeously, fabulous dishcloths to me. Charissa did a wonderful job knitting them. I love using these dishcloths because they are such happy colors and very absorbent too. I really like the patterned weave as well. It gives the cloth a “scrubber” feel.

I am very pleased with the beautiful crocheted hat that I purchased from Mimi’s Babies for a Christmas gift. It’s an adorable chocolate brown with a pink flower! Here’s another example of the Mimi’s Babies ladies generosity: when Charissa found out that my sister and I adopted Angel Tree children, she offered to make and donate crocheted hats for our Angels. Isn’t that amazing?!

Be sure to stop by Mimi’s Babies blog and Etsy shop (for last minute Christmas shopping, of course)!

  7. The first time I saw one of these buggy buddies, I was blown away. SO smart! (And WHY didn't I think of it?) 🙂 I actually stopped the lady who had one on her cart in Walmart and asked where she got it!! 🙂

  13. I really love the buggy buddy (I like the western looking one that's pictured!)! I don't like the thought of putting my child in a nasty shopping cart/restaurant high chair so this would make it better! Something I'll definitely have to have for baby!! 🙂
