INSPIRATION STATEMENT September Quote – "Another Fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer” - Wallace Stegner  Ah yes, fall is most definitely in the air here in the northwest – the mornings have a sharp crispness in them only to be met with the satisfaction from the warm afternoons. A whisper of color change is starting to come to light and an extra blanket is added to keep bedroom windows open for a bit longer.     SWEATER WEATHER: INTRODUCING DR. BLOOM Add some color to your fall/winter wardrobe - the response will really surprise you!  To be clear, while Fall is...

  INSPIRATION STATEMENT August : The Bittersweet Month.Oh August, while we love the hot sunny days and action packed schedules you present us, we also notice the days are getting slightly shorter, the mornings a little cooler, vacations wrapping up, garden work becomes garden clean-up, and teachers are getting their classrooms ready for students to return. It’s time to squeeze every activity out of these last days of summer's final calling. Cities and towns, big and small, are bursting with summertime celebrations and entertainment. Fairs, parades, sporting events, concerts, parties and weddings. To be clear, more stuff to do than one will ever have time to take part in. All in service to celebrate Mother Nature's Last Call for our...

  INSPIRATION STATEMENT Who Loves You, Baby? We do!! February … known for early sunsets, warm tea, messy hair, big sweaters, the Snow Moon, and Love! Today is the first day of the full Snow Moon. This month, we get to lean into our namesake and explain it as a verb, a feeling: "Oh! Baby, I love your way" rather than a noun, a thing: “is this a baby store?" I would be lying if I did not acknowledge the name Baby & Company has been very misleading and confusing since the beginning, as to what kind of store we are. It made a bit more sense to those who knew the the original owner's name was, well, 'Baby'. When...

  INSPIRATION STATEMENT 7:00 am. My phone pings... 'Powder Alert' – 8 inches of fresh powder fell overnight... After a very fun and robust month in Seattle (God, we love our friends, family & customers !!!!) we made it back to Sun Valley to find it fully embraced by the snow covered magic you would expect to see in a charming mountain town. Mother Nature has been very cooperative at blessing the area with a continued dump of fresh powder that has every mountaineer giddy with delight. Christmas lights are in full blaze and the feeling of snow globes, sleigh rides, and hot cocoa beg to be part of your wonderland imagination.   If you find yourself lusting for a perfect slice of winter...

  INSPIRATION STATEMENT Summer has been slow to arrive in the Northwest (sorry to all those in the rest of the country suffering from the heatwave). However, we were lucky to get a gorgeous day at one of my favorite locations  at The Olympic Sculpture Park on the scenic Seattle waterfront. On top of that, I got to work with my friend and muse: photographer Peggy Washburn, my favorite model: Kati Staudt, and the talented stylist Lauren Wheeler.   A big Thank You to everyone for creating the magic and making the clothing worthy of a fashion splurge.   Order quick, sizes are limited.     SUMMER EDITORIAL                        ...

INSPIRATION STATEMENT Even after being priced out of the neighborhood we helped establish and anchor, Baby & Company stays committed to supporting the city we will always call home. The unraveling of our once vibrant and booming downtown center has created a positive shift and growth of neighborhood commerce opportunities and community identity. Neighborhoods like Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, Columbia City, West Seattle, and Madrona are booming with small businesses committed to representing the identity and enhancing community needs and engagement. People can work in and around where they live. This creates a healthy environment to help support and get involved in issues important to the neighborhoods they represent. However, this trend has allowed the residents of Greater Seattle's 206...

INSPIRATION STATEMENT We are two years into the continued feeling of abnormal. We all keep proclaiming to be exhausted, unsettled, frustrated, and basically, "Over it." We have all said it and thought about it over the last several years of political unrest, social unrest, and, oh yeah, a fucking pandemic! I have allowed myself a few too many pity parties, feeling worn down, frustrated, and challenged with reinventing our careers and lifestyles. Until, on a fateful Thursday evening, a war started, and the world seemed to unravel even more. We would all witness a brutal, unnecessary takeover of a sovereign country in the name of power and greed for one person's vision of the world order. Once again, one guy...
