Celebrate your Family for the Holidays

2009-10-16T11:07:00.000-07:00

Shannon Sunderlands of Hot Mama Designs creates beautiful customized necklaces and bracelets for moms from her cute little backyard studio. When she isn't creating adornments, she is loving & playing with her new six month old baby.

To help Shannon spend more time with her family right before the holidays, we are offering a free lotus or heart disc with purchase as an incentive to order early (by November 16th). We have samples in the boutique if you live close by. If you are ordering online, email us first and mention this blog.

October & Pumpkin Spice!

2009-10-07T12:52:00.000-07:00

October brings orange leaves, pumpkin spice lattes, and little goblins. I enjoy October at Childhood Bliss because it means a fun new window display (Where the Wild Things Are theme), the completion of our fall 2009 clothing deliveries, and saying goodbye to what's left on sale from the previous season.

This October has been especially exciting, as we have decided to carry Ergo baby carriers. Over the past year we have had many customers rave about the carriers and requests for us to carry Ergo. What we heard most is that the Ergo is the only baby carrier you have to buy as it accommodates newborn to 40 lbs and can be worn on the front, back, and hip.

New Designers this fall: Kicky Pants (bamboo), Keedo (boy), Precious Few on Earth (organic), Leg Ruffles (so cute and flying out the door) , Laughing Out Loud (girls size 4-10), ZaZa Couture (girls size 4-6), Limeapple (girls size 4-10), and LuCoo (mod design t's for babies).

Hey Santa's helpers...Our fall order of Plan Toys is in-stock, along with new Automoblox styles, Sprig Toys (new line - made with recycle wood shavings!), and Penelope Peapods dolls (another new line for us!).

Looking for a deal? We have just marked all sale clothing off from 40% to 60%. Mention the Bliss Blog (email before you order), and we will even throw in free shipping (sale clothing only).

Shop Now! Let us know if you have any questions or special request. AND...please e-mail us pics of your adorable little goblins in Childhood Bliss finery! We would love to share these on our facebook fanpage. ~Julie

What's the Buzz? Your Baby Is As Cute As A Bug at Childhood Bliss!

2009-08-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

Childhood Bliss recently discovered these Noo Sets and of course, we couldn't resist them!
Dress your little darling as a cute little bug! Packaged in a matching pouch and ready for gift-giving, each 4-piece set includes lap shouldered t-shirt, pants, booties and adorable hat. Made of soft, water washed cotton knit, choose either an adorable ladybug or a sweet-as-honey bumblebee. Ideal for baby showers, newborns and 1st birthdays. They are the perfect choice for that first Halloween costume too!

Petunia Pickle Bottom Fabulous Fall 2009 Styles are Here!

2009-08-06T11:25:00.000-07:00

Childhood Bliss is blissfully pleased with the new Fall 2009 Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags, slings, blankets, and organic clothing. How can they outdo themselves each season? The new diaper bags include their signature brocade fabrics--a rich satin luster that is saturated with colors! New brocade fabrics include the Winterberry Roll, Calypso Roll, Tandoori Spice Roll, Chantilly roll, Blue Curacao Roll, Black Orchid Roll, Indigo Roll, and Midnight Iris Roll.

Many of the new Fall 2009 Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags also have coordinating slings and blankets too! Check out the new Petunia Pickle Bottom Organic Stroller Blanket in five earth-friendly patterns.

If you love the glazed line, Petunia's wipe-able, water-repellent matte finish, you won't be disappointed by this season's selection! Dancing in Dublin is amazing....as well as all of the other choices, including Rhone Blooms, Tranquil Tibet, Turkish Twighlight, Morning in Machu Picchu, Misty Shanghai (brought back by popular demand!) Meandering in Marrakech, Strolling in Salzburg, and Granada Nights.

Two new chenille choices in the original Fall 2009 collection are sure to be popular--the Black Currant and the Roseberry.

And if anything could be more decadent than Petunia Pickle Bottom's Cake line, we have yet to see it. The Apple Tart Cake and Chocolate Decadence Cake bags are, well, YUMMY! And the newer richer blue of the French Gooseberry completes the most fabulous colors we at Childhood Bliss could ever imagine. Each color is available in the Cosmopolitan Carryall, the Society Satchel, or the Cameo Clutch.

The Scout collection, with the hearty Rubicon Rucksack and the more compact Journey Pack, looks great in old world leather or post-modern felt. Colors include Brown Buffalo Leather, Black Buffalo Leather, and 3 heathered felt colors.

Petunia Pickle Bottom has certainly made it easy to choose a special organic gift for a special new arrival! Offerings such as the Onesie Gift Set, the Sock Gift Set, and the Swaddling Blanket Gift Set, in artfully packaged gift boxes, come in the most amazing color palettes and patterns for both boys and girls. The new Snuggle Set, a 3 piece set that includes one printed footed long-sleeve romper, one solid knotted knit hat and one printed swaddling blanket, makes an awesome gift.

Petunia Pickle Bottom...Where daring meets darling, and sensible function meets simple elegance. A chic baby collection for savvy Childhood Bliss parents everywhere.

All Bugged out for Summer!

2008-07-01T14:25:00.000-07:00

Summer with kids is all about garden exploration, and one of our favorite garden creatures at Childhood Bliss is the ladybug!

The Summer 08 Daily Tea for girls has some of the most amazing colors and graphics, and each piece stands on its own. Pieces include tank style dresses, shorts, tops and skirts in brilliant tones of blues, crisp whites, and vibrant red prints that will have your little ladybug looking her absolute cutest! Childhood Bliss is proud to offer Daily Tea, inspirational children's clothing for babies and children who play, live and love.

One of our favorite and most popular accessories at Childhood Bliss, BabyLegs, have many fun prints to coordinate with our current Daily Tea collections. We recommend pairing your Daily Tea ensembles with the Baby Legs Ladybug pattern, of course! Whatever pattern or color you choose, these fabulous little stockings will be a staple in your baby's wardrobe. Perfect for both boys and girls, feet remain free to allow for successful crawling, walking, and of course, cruising around on their favorite toy, the Wheely Bug! Our favorite? You guessed it--the ladybug! This toy is the most fun a toddler can have riding on the back of a bug! Winner of numerous quality toy awards, come see all of the Wheely Bugs at Childhood Bliss.

Just Arrived....Ladybug Backpacks & Lunchboxes.....the perfect accessory for a summer outing that will work for back-to-school too! Don't forget to bring along the luxurious Mally Leather Ladybug Bib! And, if you are not bugged out enough already, check out our ladybug timers. We use them at home for music practice, screen time turns, and those time-outs that occur from time to time.

If you just can't get enough ladybugs outside, then decorate your child's room with these sweet bugs! Twelve Timbers Wood Wall Art are hand painted and adorned with Glitter! The edges are sanded after being painted which gives them a unique distressed look. These playful shapes are sure to brighten any child's room. And to end the busy summer day, settle down to a good book....Ladybug Girl!

Dress Your Baby in Soybeans!

2008-06-22T13:15:00.000-07:00

One of our favorite new lines, Babysoy, is helping parents do just that. Soft and design-savvy, Babysoy baby clothing is an environmentally excellent choice, since each and every adorable piece is made with soybean fiber. Soybean fiber is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable natural resources.

Childhood Bliss is proud to offer baby and children’s clothing made from soybean fiber, in an effort to move customers away from petrochemical textile products and help turn waste into useful products. Soybean fiber is part of "sustainable clothing", where sustainable raw materials or waste are used to produce textile products. Soybean fiber does not add any extra burden on mother nature. Another way to look at it is like using "recycled paper", turning waste into useful things thus greatly reduced impact on environment.

Babysoy wanted to contribute our efforts in cutting down human damages to mother nature and help to promote sustainable clothing to the public. Aside from being eco-friendly, soybean fiber itself also has superior warmth retention and moisture transmission, thus keeping babies warm and dry. It also has silky luster and super soft hand feel. We believe soybean fabric is the perfect product for babies with its superior quality. Soybean fiber is soft, smooth and light-weight, it’s texture comparable to cashmere! It absorbs well, like cotton, but has better moisture transmission. Similar to wool, it maintains good warmth retention, but is even stronger than wool in terms of durability.

At Childhood Bliss, we believe baby clothing should be stylish, comfortable, and of excellent quality. Babysoy is all of these and so much more! View all of our available Babysoy styles and colors!

Wrap your baby in Bliss!

2008-01-13T11:10:00.000-08:00

Maybe you already know the secret….Childhood Bliss does! Keeping your tiny baby cozy and feeling safe and secure isn’t a mystery if you have the right tool and technique. All it takes is the right blanket…That’s where Swaddle Designs comes into the picture.

Studies show that swaddled babies sleep better and longer. A snug wrap keeps baby happier on their back than if they were allowed to flail around. You understand the basic concept: you want to bring your little one back into a womb-like environment without having to give birth all over again! Swaddle designs offers you this option in a wide variety of colors and designs, from hip to classic with matching Lovies and Baby Burpies. Childhood Bliss is proud to offer these wonderful blankets to help your baby stay snuggled and feeling safe.

There are many receiving blankets on the market that just aren’t the appropriate size, fabric, or weight to allow you to swaddle your baby. Swaddle Designs blankets are made in the USA from premium preshrunk domestic cotton and organic cotton, and are the perfect weight to allow security and warmth without overheating. Swaddle Designs blankets are generously sized at 42” x 42”, allowing for the perfect size and shape for swaddling. Their unique decorative edging helps the blanket stay secure and each blanket has a handy swaddle tip tag sewn into the blanket. View Swaddle Demo & Tips!

At Childhood Bliss, customers have already discovered that these Swaddle Design blankets are the favorite every day blanket for their baby and the perfect baby shower gift. Childhood Bliss carries every color and style, as well as all of Swaddle Design’s coordinating baby burpies and lovies. Look for new designs later this month! Place an order for $60 (or more!) of Swaddle Design products at Childhood Bliss and receive free standard shipping! (within the U.S. ~ use discount code "swaddlefreeship") Shop Swaddle Designs Now!

Childhood Bliss carries BabyLegs…so all legs & arms will be fashionably protected!

2007-12-29T11:50:00.000-08:00

BabyLegs are designed by a mom (of course!) to be a one-size accessory/necessity for your baby, toddler, tweens & even mom!. These fabulous little stockings, which come in a huge variety of amazing patterns and solids, will be a staple in your child's wardrobe from newborn to age 10 and beyond. BabyLegs make diaper changes a breeze, protect soft knees from harsh surfaces, and keep legs warm year round. Perfect for both boys and girls, feet remain free to allow for successful crawling, walking and dancing. Keep socks on or off! This is way beyond just a fashion statement. At Childhood Bliss, Carol & I wear baby legs on our arms. I have tricked many a friends who think I have a cool new shirt under my short sleeve sweater....and for only $12.00! My 7 year old wears Baby Legs to school daily as footless knee highs and my 9 year old thinks the flames are great for his arms. I always take a pair with me when I'm heading out on my kayak or a ride on my bike. Enjoy! Childhood Bliss offers every design of Baby Legs available. Free Shipping on Baby Legs at Childhood Bliss when you purchase 4 or more. Use discount code "babylegs4" at checkout.

BabyLegs are made with a very soft blend of 80% cotton, 15% polysester, 5% spandex. BabyLegs also come in styles made with organic cotton.

Introducing Renee Kollias the designer of Meli Meli.

Kollias says she wants to bring a European sensibility to kids' clothing by using sophisticated fabrics and techniques like silk charmeuse and silk velvets, unusual appliqués, vintage fabric trims and thick threads. Kollias grew up with the good life, an artist's eye and a fine-tuned palate; her father is a chef, her mother a painter and she speaks in those terms when describing how she sees her children's clothing line.

Meli Meli means Honey Honey in Greek. The beautiful sound of the word Meli reminds us of the beauty in each child... honey is sweet like the children we make clothes for. Meli Meli clothes are European and vintage inspired with an emphasis on beautiful style lines, whimsical and creative details and innovative color schemes. Our clothes are fabricated with beautiful domestic and European fabrics and are made to last. Meli Meli clothes are designed for beauty and versatility. Each piece can stand on its own and be easily integrated into your child’s wardrobe or can coordinate with the other pieces in the collection so that creating Meli Meli outfits is fun and exciting.
