I was recently invited to a baby shower for my nephew-to-be, so I instantly began scowering pinterest for the cutest items (I settled on basic NEEDS...clothes, diapers, etc) but I came across a "big sister kit" and of course...my creative juices started flowing!! Most kits included a shirt, and small activities. I settled on a coloring book/twist up crayons, a "New Baby" book (little critter is one of my favorites), and some snacks. Then I started on the custom items. I got a pink shirt and iron on letters from hobby lobby (I do sell the shirts on my page Belly Buttons & Baby Bottoms I got my friend from the Darling Diva "Bow"-tique to make a bow (as "crafty" as I am, I just cant seem to wrangle ribbon into anything that remotely resembles a bow...hers are amazing!!) and then I made her a matching Minnie mouse necklace also sold on my page! Here are all her goodies...
I added some tissue paper to a cute bin (also found at hobby lobby) and put everything inside! I can't wait to give it to her

Hello! I’m an editor at the parenting site Thestir.cafemom.com, which gets over 30 million unique visitors a month. I’m writing a story titled "Big Brother & Big Sister/Ready for Baby Kits," and would love to feature your idea and photo on our site!

If you’re open to that, here’s how it would work: We wouldn’t be reprinting anything from your site; rather I’d just run a sentence or so on what makes your idea so great, plus one photo from your site per idea (which I can just download myself). Then we'd link back to your site where our 30 million unique visitors per month can read more. We will also spread the word about your blog through Twitter and other channels and hope you’ll do the same. In our mind, it’s win-win for both of us!
Here's a sample of how the piece will look:

Please let me know if you have any questions. Due to my deadlines I’d love to hear back from you today, but I know that’s fast; just let me know what works for you.
Thanks so much!
