What is Moda Bambino?....Oh! and a Giveaway!!!

Okay so for starters I was so excited about blogging, I don't think I have given my readers the full picture. For those that don't know me, I kind of like to shop. And I have been toying with the idea of opening a children's boutique. But lets be honest -that is REALLY scary. So I thought well, I can start blogging about all the products I would carry if I had a store.  So from that Moda Bambino was born. And by the way, Moda Bambino is 'Fashion Baby' in Italian. I know, I'm Cuban, not Italian, but in Spanish it is was 'La Moda del Bambino' and I thought that was too long.

So why am I so into children's fashion? Well because of Ellie and Peyton

So we live in Olympia, Wa., and well good fashions are hard to find. We have a few boutiuqes which do offer great clothing for adults (Sweet Life) but for the kiddos there is only the mall. So I find myself shopping on-line 90% of the time for fun, cute, unique things for them to wear- especially Ellie. Now this blog will feature  shops for girls, shops for boys and shops that sell both. But lets be honest, the girl stuff is just waaayyyyy cuter. And for every 50 girl things there is like 1 boy. So for the momies, aunts and friends of only boys, I will try to show a fair share- but it will feel girl dominated. I'm sorry.

My vision for this blog is to feature all these great on-line shops that stay-at-home moms have started up. I wish I was just a fraction as talented as these gals, but I'm not. But I can sure buy all their fabulous pieces. So each post will focus on a shop that I have just fallen in love with and want to share with all of you. Occasionally I will do an adult shop, gift shop and even a photographer, but primarily it will be about the kids.  I hope that my loves will become your loves and you will have lots of new places to shop for any and all occasions.

You don't have to be a mom to love these shops. You can be a friend, an aunt (real and faux)- anyone that has a special child in their life will love these shops. Or its a great way to find that perfect gift for a baby shower or childs birthday you have to go to and want something really unique.

Our faux-aunt Annie:

Now  yes I did mention a giveaway...so lets get this blog to 100 followers! When that happens, I will radomly select (i'll have Ellie draw a name for a basket :-) ) a name from the first 100 followers. The winner and the person that referred them to the blog will win a $20 gift card to a store I have featured. So get to following and referring!!!

Some of you had questions on how to 'follow'. On the right hand side of the blog there is a link that says FOLLOW it will take you to a screen and ask for you to sign in via GOOGLE, TWITTER or YAHOO. I suggest just doing google- all you do is enter in your regular email and password and your set! Each time I post a blog it will be emailed to you. Of course I will post on FB too, but for the contest you have to follow on the blog. 

PS. I will not be blogging everyday, but I promise at least one a week- if not more!

Thank you for your support and suggestions.
