We’ve recently connected with a wonderful group of small business owners, all based in Charleston, who design the most amazing products. We went in more-or-less as complete strangers, and after chatting for less than an hour were all so energized and inspired that we knew we had stumbled upon something incredible. Here is the start…
I’m not going to even try to hide it – I’m always excited to try new Stonyfield products. When a refrigerated box showed up on my front step a few weeks ago, I may have done a quick, and probably pretty embarrassing happy dance while I was opening it. Inside was. . Ok, ok; so the…
As a new mom, I’m slowly perfecting the art of doing things with one hand while holding a baby in the other. Typing with one hand – yep. Brushing a teeth while entertaining an infant in the bathroom mirror – check. Making breakfast while bouncing a cranky baby – got it down. Having…
Going from one to two is a big change. Just when you think you’ve mastered the toddler phase, and you’ve regained some of your pre-kids “normalcy” (aka – the ability to leave the house. . .alone. . for more than 30 minutes at a time). . . a new baby comes along and flips your…
We are over-the-moon to officially welcome Miss Eleanor Claire to the hemming birds crew! Miss H is thrilled to be a big sister, and Matthew and Lizzy are super excited to have a new baby cousin. These days you hear a lot of “she’s MY baby cousin,” “NO, she’s MYYYY baby cousin,” and “she’s MY baby…

Jennifer and I first heard about 16 Minute Club a little under a year ago when we were introduced to Wendy, the certified lactation consultant and all-around wonderful lady who curates the boxes. We were thrilled to have 16 Minute Club be our first wholesale retail order – and you’ll still find Hemming Birds Boutique…
Looking for the perfect snack to eat poolside while you relax in the sun drinking your ice tea and reading a book? Ha. More like the perfect appetizer to snarf down during catch-up with your parent friends while your kids run around the house throwing stuff on the floor. Either way, this is it. …
I grew up in rural Connecticut – in a town that we often “joke” has more cows than people. Whether that is really true or not remains TBD. My mom always had an incredible garden, and many of my fond memories of growing up involve helping her in the garden. Pulling weeds was never a…
I love yogurt. Like, really, really love yogurt. And so does my family. When Stonyfield asked me to test out one of their new products, Oh My Yog!, I said “absolutely!” Our family is already pretty hooked on their last release, Petite Creme. In fact, I’m pretty sure most of Charleston is in love with the…
