Thank you Megan G. from Peekaboo Picks Magazine for such a cute article about our tagless baby clothing for bigger babies. “As parents, we know how frustrating it can be to buy the correct size for our child only to find he’s already outgrown it before he even hits the age range. This has even happened to me, and my little boy is on the small side! So I can imagine it must be very frustrating for parents of bigger babies.” To read the full article please click the Peekaboo logo or click here.

Pinks & Blues Hosts a Dual Virtual Baby Shower
Last modified on 2008-10-13 15:35:54 GMT. 2 comments. Top.
Pinks & Blues Holds Contest For Expectant Moms; Hosts a Baby Shower for actress Angela Kinsey East Greenwich, RI (January 15, 2008) “ The mother-and-daughters team at Pinks & Blues (www.pinksandblues.com)” the fast-growing online destination for parents to stay up-to-date with trendy and innovative products and services, is hosting a dual Virtual Baby Shower for two mothers-to-be. A Virtual Baby Shower is a shower that is hosted online rather than in person, with the gifts shipped to the shower honorees. Pinks & Blues is currently receiving baby products from companies, and will pass along the gifts to the honorees.
One of the Pinks & Blues Virtual Baby Shower honorees is actress Angela Kinsey, who stars in NBC™s The Office, and is due with her first child in May (the announcement can be found here).
Pinks & Blues is running a contest to determine who the other pregnant honoree will be by asking expectant moms to send in their inspirational, fun or surprising pregnancy stories. Friends and family members can also nominate expectant moms by sending in their stories about why their nominee deserves to be honored with the Pinks & Blues Virtual Baby Shower (contest details can be found here: http://pinksandbluesgirls.wordpress.com/pinks-blues-virtual-baby-shower/ ).
“I am expecting my fourth boy in June, and when we announced my pregnancy on our site ( www.pinksandblues.com), many of the vendors we have featured so generously offered to send me baby items, said Pinks & Blues Co-founder Audrey Couto McClelland. But my sister, my mom and I thought how much fun it would be to instead use these baby items to run a Virtual Baby Shower for one of our Pinks & Blues readers who is also expecting a baby around the same time as me. We thought it would be a fantastic way to make an expectant mom feel showered with gifts like a celebrity! And that’s where we got the idea to get an actual celebrity to shower, as well.
McClellands sister, Co-founder Jane Couto Porricell, added, When we approached the vendors with our idea, the response was amazing! The companies are thrilled about participating in our Virtual Baby Shower. These companies include Hanes, Robeez, Strollometer, Mabel’s Labels, Tots On-the-Go, Posh Peacock, Skimbaco, Secure2Me, Be So Beautiful Baby, Rag & Bone and Bambina Ballerina.
Getting actress Angela Kinsey on board as the celebrity honoree for the Virtual Baby Shower was very exciting for the ladies of Pinks & Blues. Sharon Couto, Co-founder and mother of McClelland and Porricelli said, Angela was our first choice! She is so smart, funny and feisty yet approachable and such a great role model for moms. And we just love her on The Office. It is really special to have her a part of this.
Expectant moms can nominate themselves (or be nominated by others) for the Pinks & Blues Virtual Baby Shower through Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2008.

The voting will end on March 6, 2008 and the Virtual Baby Shower gifts will be shipped on May 1, 2008.

PRESS RELEASE-
Introducing the big and tall online boutique Happy Panda The Brand for the Bigger Baby
Happy Panda announced the grand opening of their online boutique targeted toward the big and tall infant market. The centerpiece of the Happy Panda brand is clothing specifically designed to fit the bigger baby. Customers can take comfort in the Happy Panda sizing system which takes the mystery out of shopping for larger babies by age without having to buy the next size up. Happy Panda’s clothing is high quality tagless babywear, designed and made in the USA, using environmentally safe fabrics and inks for the safest, most comfortable fit for the happy panda in your life.
The Happy Panda brand is the creation of Pamela Kramer, the proud parent of not one but two Happy Pandas. Her first baby boy grew so quickly that he was wearing a size 2T before his first birthday. His growth rate made it difficult for friends and family to shop for him by age because the standard size charts did not apply. She became frustrated trying to find clothes that fit while offering the ability to get through those quick diaper changes without completely undressing her baby.
In August 2006 her second son was born and began growing at an even faster rate than the first. Still, no brand had addressed the needs for bigger babies. After sharing stories with other parents in the same situation she found they also have had to return items purchased by age because they were too small. In December 2006 the Happy Panda concept became a reality.
This unique babywear features the Happy Panda character chosen because pandas are distinctive, big in stature but cute all the same. Each one piece comes with the signature panda face print on the backside diaper area. If you see one of these pandas please make sure to ask the parents before you feed these big bears. Bigger babies can look forward to comfortable, stylish clothes from Happy Panda.
Do you know a Happy Panda?
