Summer isn't summer without the JJ Cole all-purpose blanket

Todd — Thu, 10 May 2012 16:02:24 -0500

The all-purpose blanket isn't just a blanket, it is a mom's solution to every family outing. You don't have to worry about washing it every time you go out because it quickly wipes clean. There is no struggle to fold and stuff it into a bag that is always to small. And it doesn't look hideous. :) It stores easily, fits compactly in your car and folds up the same every time. Add the blanket to your list of summer must haves. You won't go back to that old, ragged blanket again!

Moms Love the JJ Cole Paisley Pillow!

kristina — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:16:41 -0500

The development of the JJ Cole Paisley Pillow was significantly influenced from mom feedback. In working with moms, we found that they had the following un-met needs with their current nursing and feeding pillows.

1) They want a pillow that is lightweight and compact

2) They want a pillow that fits them (all shapes and sizes)

3) They want a pillow that is easy to transport and store

4) They want a pillow that they can use in chairs and rockers

5) They want a pillow that stays firm and provides the support they need

The Paisley pillow was designed and developed to meet these needs. Here are just a few of the comments we've heard from moms about the Paisley:

"I have tried a few nursing pillows and the Paisley is by far the best. Not only is it comfortable for me and my daughter, it is comfortable for my husband when he bottle feeds her."

"As with all JJ Cole baby products I've owned this nursing pillow is great. The quality is good and the extra attention that goes into usability really makes this the best nursing pillow I've ever used."

"I'm a first-time mom and had a c-section. The JJ Cole Paisley pillow helped support my baby so that I didn't have to strain while breastfeeding. It also helped ease the weight of the baby on my incision"

Despite the season you are still conscious of keeping your little bundle cozy. Our spring weather and even those summer nights seem to call for a jacket. So, do it just right for your little one and throw a Bundleme Lite on her car seat or stroller to keep her feeling just right!

Simply Homemade Cakes made a fabulous Baby Shower cake using the JJ Cole Technique Diaper Bag in Red Flower print as inspiration! Angie, the cake's designer, chose to make a light pink and blue version of the bag, as mom-to-be Stacey was waiting to find out the gender of her baby until birth.
