Coast to Coast with Lyn & Leigh

If you have a toddler or older child, you know how fast time flies when you try and recall them as a tiny baby. At the same time, it can feel like yesterday that you went into the hospital to deliver. We’re feeling the same way about New For Baby today, as we celebrate TWO YEARS.

We had spent about a year with the concept and pre-production/production of our garments. But good grief, that launch week was stressful! We had decided on a launch date, and I geared up to have a big party here in Oregon. Malia was still very young, so Lyn stayed in Charleston (but sent the sweet flowers below - my fave Gerber daisies!). This also turned out to be the same weekend as Alyssa’s first dance recital (this recital was not messing around, people - two 3 hour shows on the same day, with a dress rehearsal the day before). Well, I made it through the dance recital, juggling my backstage duties and baby Haylie.

I managed to get the party prepped… PowerPoint show was ready, clothing displayed, gift sets packaged, goodie bags by the door, chocolate fountain a-flowin’… What we hadn’t prepared for was the WEBSITE. You’d think that in that year of production we would’ve had a better timeline with building the site, and the problems that can arise! Our poor web developer was working triple overtime, and then we sat in virtual torture as we helplessly waited what seemed like forever for the internet to find us and point to us. The party was done. Peeps were excited. The press push had begun. No site. I will never forget when it was finally up, and when the first order magically appeared. An enormous weight was lifted off our shoulders.

And here we are, 2 years later! We’re still loving (almost) every minute of it. We’re still so excited about what’s coming next, how our brand is coming together, and how the possibilities seem endless. Thanks for being a part of the ride!
