As if baby wasn't cute enough, the Trumpette socks are the perfect answer when the question is "Which shoes?". They come in a box of six different colored Mary Jane, Ballerina or Lace Up Tennis Shoe printed socks. The perfect gift to make mom smile.

Take a stroll

2009-01-17T13:19:00.000-08:00

After waiting for months, we finally have our 2009 models of the UPPAbaby Vista and Gluxe strollers. We LOVE these strollers! They come in such fun colors with a bassinet for the tiny baby on a walk and a seat that holds up to 50 pounds. One of our favorite perks is that the baby sits high enough that you can push him or her right up to the table when you're out and about. Come in before 1/23/09 for a demonstration and mention that you read this blog post to get 10% off of your UPPAbaby stroller!

Glowing Groups

2008-08-12T09:57:00.000-07:00

Sign up for a Glowing Mom's Group! Mom's groups give you a chance to meet with other moms who have the same questions and concerns that you do. We found our moms group invaluable for getting us through those firsts of motherhood (that's our current group up there and the babies in 2005 when our group first started).

We will lead the first few groups to get you going and then your group will decide when and where to meet for future meetings. We will have our first group on Wednesday, September 3rd at 10 am. If your baby was born in September or is due in September, this is your group. Send an email to sara@glowingmama.com titled moms group and give us your name, due date and phone number if you would like to be contacted for upcoming groups. We will start a new group each month. We can't wait to meet you and your baby!

One month down!

2008-08-06T18:46:00.000-07:00

Has it really been a month already?? This picture was taken the day we took ownership of Glowing, 7/1/2008. Since then we've learned a TON about retail, owning a business, ourselves and each other. It has been fun and stressful but we're so glad we took the leap.
We've started to get in all of the new product we've ordered. Our fall Maternity clothes are arriving daily and lots of new baby stuff and baby furniture is in the store. Fun, fun, fun!
