Self-Isolating with a toddler!   A few years ago when I was childless and mortgage less, the idea of self-isolating would have been quite fun. I would have binged watch some box sets, played a few days of Sims, caught up on some books I have wanted to read for a while and cleaned everything. But babies and more specifically toddlers change all of that, the idea of being stuck in with a toddler with no playgroups, no swimming, gym or even any friends over sounds like my idea of torture! But that is the scenario we all find ourselves...

It has come to our attention that another company is using our designs on bibs again.  This is theft, we actually design all of our designs. It can take up to 8 hours from concept to finish for one of our designs, and then when printing we even then have to change it to get it to look right. It is gutting to see all our hard work and effort, being stolen. We are only a small company.  Thankfully the law is on our side, but we need evidence.

So babies simply are not yet smart enough to manipulate you or anyone...

Do babies need bibs? Well you may think this an odd question, “do babies need bibs” for a company which sells bibs to pose. Of course you will think we will say “yes, babies need bibs, at least 100”. Well actually we are parents ourselves and like to think we are a bit better than that. Our own experience is that for our first child definitely, while teething he was practically a waterfall and we only half jokingly say that we had to have a bib factory just to keep up with him. Changing his bibs regularly saved huge amounts...
