What a wonderful organization!!!!

In this crazy thing called being an entrepreneur, I get to meet a great deal of inspiring people along the way. And Kate Crawford happens to be one of the most awe-inspiring women I have met yet. Well, I haven't met her "met her"....only virtually. Which seems to be the way I meet people these days!!! I bet you are wondering WHY Kate is so amazing..... Well, I am so glad you asked.

Kate has started a non profit organization called Project Sweet Peas

which provides a variety of care packages to neonatal intensive care units across the country. They include items to promote bonding between parents and child, and also wellness items for Mom and Dad. If you are not familiar with the NICU environment, it is a very stressful experience, especially for the baby. The stressful environment for baby (bright lights on and off, noises, machines, etc.) leads to sensory issues such as visual ones.

Visual stimulation is vital in the NICU. Most NICU's worry about getting the baby healthy enough for discharge, and do not worry about what they consider minute problems. If some sort of visual therapy is not introduced during the vital period of the development of the eye, babies can lead into long term problems, which could include blindness. Project Sweet Peas try to include items that are visually stimulating for babies in their care packages. (Now I bet you can figure out how our paths have crossed....lol)

Kate Crawford, Corin Nava, and Stephanie Olivarez started up Project Sweet Peas so they could comfort parents and children nationwide that are struggling through the NICU experience just as they had years ago. With the help of others and donations, Project Sweet Peas, has delivered 2061 care packages. And I think that is pretty AMAZING!! And I am happy to be able to help them out! Please check out their website for more information http://www.projectsweetpeas.com/ and donate today if you can!!

Thank you Kate, Corin and Stephanie for making a difference!!!

So many exciting things at the year end!

It is hard to believe that 2010 is coming to an end. It truly has been such an exciting year for Zeebabee! And it is making me very exciting to see what 2011 has in store. As most of you already know, the Burp Sees made there debut in an upscale department store, Von Maur. This was a goal of Zeebabee's (and of course, mine) to be in at least one larger retail store or department store before the year's end. And we did it!! Now with this under our belt, I am sure you will be seeing a great deal of Zeebabee products on the shelves wherever you shop. Go BIG or go home.....that's what I keep telling myself!!

Another bit of exciting news is that very, very soon, we will be revealing our newest product. Well, it doesn't have a name yet but I will give you a hint..... it is "mini" tummy time mat. I just got my hands on the first one and it is so darling....super cute....absolutely adorable. I hope my customers (and my baby customers....that's who matters, right?) love it as much as I do!

A big thank you for all of you who have supported me and Zeebabee during our journey so far. I promise you there is much, much more to come.

Happy New Year, Everybody!!!!!

A lot can happen in a year....

It's almost December....it will be one year since I pitched the Burp Sees to our local boutique, The Littlest Details. 12 States and 21 boutiques later....Zeebabee is headed to Von Maur Department store, an upscale department store in the Midwest. Our Burp Sees will be introduced to Von Maur customers in 11 of their stores this December. I am very excited about this venture and I am looking forward to seeing the Burp Sees amongst all the fabulous infant products Von Maur carries.

I do have to say Zeebabee has come a long way in the last year. It makes me a little giddy to think what I might be typing in my blog next year at this time. I am a dreamer and a true believer that if your visions are clear and you are driven....anything is possible.. And that to me is so exciting!!!

New product news..... Just designed a new tummy time mat. Haven't named it yet but I love it and I can't wait to share it with you and all our customers. It certainly should be ready for sale by the beginning of the year.

OK, lots of work to do as always. I promise to not be a stranger to the blog. :)

All the best!!!

The best visual stimulation for baby's eyes

The best way you as a parent can stimulate baby's vision is using black and white or light and dark contrasting colors. So what about those nice soft pastels that used to be so popular in baby toys and nurseries? While these may look pretty to you, they do nothing visually for your baby. Research has proven that black and white contrasts register powerfully on baby's retina and send the strongest visual signals to baby's brain. Stronger signals mean more brain growth and faster visual development. Surround a baby with soft pastel colors, and you might as well be blindfolding him. Surround your baby with black and white products or pictures, and watch your baby's eyes light up.

The Importance of Visual Stimulation

Visual stimulation is the whole idea behind Zeebabee and our products!!! And for that reason, I have created a Fan Page on Faceboook for .......(drum roll, please) ...........

Visual Stimulation for Babies

I will use this to post information on how important black and white stimulation is for newborns and infants. If I find any freebies, fun facts, stories, great products (other than Zeebabee's....ha ha ha), etc. There is so much great information out there that I would love to share.

I also will be sending out email campaigns, newsletters and such! This I am very excited about. Business has been very good lately....and I am just trying to keep up the momentum!!! Slowly but surely you WILL see Zeebabee in every baby boutique nationwide. Okay, okay....maybe not everyone....but MOST of them....all the great ones!!! :)

I must get back to work..... till next time!! (ps. I am getting a little better at this blogging thing)

Zeebabee Excitement

Well...Zeebabee is making it's buzz around our local town. Me & Zeebabee were featured in an article in our local paper. Here it is below....Check it out:

Mom's Baby Business to Grow from Home

And here are the pictures of the Zeebabee display at our local baby boutique here in Avon, Ohio, The Littlest Details. They have such adorable things there....it makes me want another little one every time I step foot in there.

I am very excited about all the great things happening right now with Zeebabee!! Definitely getting lots of good exposure!! :)

Exciting adventures 2010 has brought!!

Wow!!! 2010 has brought some exciting things for Zeebabee Designs! I have been reaping the rewards of my hard work. The local paper, The Morning Journal, is including Zeebabee in an article that will be published next week, I think. It's in their insert called Good Living in Avon. The circulation for the paper is about 20,000 plus on news stands locally. That is some great exposure for us!!

I have been reaching out to baby boutiques nationwide. And it has been quite a successful campaign. I want to try and do as much as I possibly can before I have to contact some sales reps to help me. I want to wait as long as I can before I have to pay others 15% commission.

I am also working with a national magazine to be included in an article. I'll keep you posted once I know more.

So I can definitely say....I think 2010 is going to be the year for Zeebabee!! Well, at least, here's to hoping!! All my friends and family have been so supportive and extremely helpful on spreading the word about Zeebabee. I am so thankful for all of you!!

Oh....and I almost forgot....the boutiques that the burp sees ARE in-----are selling them like hotcakes! I get so excited every time I hear about the great sales they are having. :)

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I am looking forward to a wonderful and very prosperous year for Zeebabee Designs!! 2009 went out with a bang....and here's to a very successful 2010. Zeebabee's goal is to be in boutiques all across the US. We will do it!!! Soon you will see a list of stores in which you can purchase Zeebabee products on our website. I love having a goal, a vision, it helps me keep an eye on the prize.

The burp sees are selling like hotcakes in the boutiques that they are in. I love it!!!

Once again....Happy New Year everyone....May God bless you and your loved ones this year!

Great things ahead for 2010!!!

With the holidays fast approaching.....I have never been so busy in my entire life. Zeebabee has boomed and I think there is no going back. :) I am hoping the momentum continues in 2010. My goal is to get into as many boutiques as I can. I just have to find a way to do it....because I can't do it all right now. I would love to go the route of sales reps...but I am having a little trouble finding some. I contacted a few but haven't heard back as of yet. If any of my readers no of any sales reps please let me know....it would be very much appreciated.

And maybe this year we will see some new products from Zeebabee.....who knows??!!!???

Happy Holidays!! Stay safe and healthy!! :)

I need a personal assistant!

Okay I know, I know....I am not very good at this blogging thing. I try....but I run out of time in the day. I need a few more hours everyday...as I am sure most of us do. I decided that I need a personal assistant and a nanny. I know that won't be happening anytime soon....so I will have to learn how to organize my time a bit better.

I really want to keep you all informed on my journey....so I will start my New Year's resolution early and Blog more..... Wish me luck!!

Okay now on to some news----- Found out that the Burp Sees are selling like hotcakes in boutiques!! This is very exciting for me. So I am moving full force ahead and working on getting some sales reps to get Zeebabee in boutiques nationwide. I am going to pitch to a few today and hope that they would like to take me on as their client.

And here are some great pics of some baby gift baskets using the Burp Sees in them. A boutique that sells Burp Sees makes gift baskets, too. And the owner just loves using my products in them. She's one of my biggest fans!! Thanks, Melissa!! Here's a shout out to her boutique---- http://www.candidgifts.com/

....it's going to happen

Whenever I talk to my sister T, about Zeebabee and where things are at. She is always so quick to say....I know you are going to make it big. And it's not just that she says these positive words....but it is the way she says them....with such conviction, like she already knows it will happen!! And that means so much to me. The reason I bring this up is because I have been thinking a great deal lately of what I need to do to get Zeebabee out there.....to really make it a household name. And positive thinking is the key. God has a plan....and I do believe I am following His plan. Sometimes I wish He would just help me out a bit and give me a quick look at His plan....lol. But I trust that it is what it is :)

Okay on with what I need from you!!! I humbly ask that each of you pass on Zeebabee to your friends. Whether it be in an email or by word of mouth.... tell them about a great product!!! I am going to send out an email to all my friends, family and customers that I will ask them to pass on to EVERYONE they know. In these tight times, I am choosing to not get a PR company, but to do the work myself. And this will help out a great deal....and it's free. And you'd be helping out a friend :) Remember the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon....just think how many people I could get the word out to.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
