Show Us Your Baby
One of the things I love about being in the baby blanket business is that babies are adorable! Now, I didn’t used to think this way. I’ve had a change of heart. I used to think most babies were somewhat alien looking as they came out of the womb, but over time, I’ve come to see just how precious they are. Every baby is different, and they are all cute in their own ways.
So, what we’d like to do is feature your baby on our site! If you have cute baby pictures of your little one (and I know you do – seriously, we live in the digital age for crying out loud), then send them to us through our Contact Us link on the store. Give us a blurb about your baby and why they are the cutest in the world, and we’ll post them on the blog. To get us started, I’ll post about one of our favorite little guys, Ajax Knoechel. Here he is being adorable. By the way, Ajax is an avid Facebooker. Look him up and be his friend! : )

Family Photos
When you are at a friend’s house for the first time, one of the first things you always do is look at the family pictures. The hallways, staircases or fireplaces of family photos remind us of who we are and where we’ve been. Family photos tell a story that you may or may not get from your friends. They also can bring up fond memories.
There are a few characteristics that you can count on in a family photo – big hair, outdated fashion and baby blankets. It’s always fun to laugh at what we used to think was cool. ”Why did I part my hair down the middle?” ”Why did I ever let my wife talk me into getting a perm?” ”Is that a porn mustache?” Outrageous! But among the craziness, there are usually baby pictures – lots and lots of baby pictures. And what is the most common item in those pictures besides a smiling baby? Usually, a baby blanket! So think about it. If you’re giving a baby blanket as a gift, that gift may be plastered on a wall for 20, 30, or 40 years somewhere. Doesn’t that make you think twice before you buy a gift? Maybe you don’t think it’s a big deal. But if you don’t believe me, go check your wall of family photos right now. See if there isn’t a security blanket being held onto by one of your little ones.
