Summer is almost here, and we’re celebrating the season with a little red, white, and blue! At Baby Be Hip, we love the classic color combination of red, white, and blue – especially in the summertime! The patriotic color combo makes a cute gift for a new summer baby (like a Fourth of July baby!), for either a boy or a girl. To kick off the summer, we put a twist on our popular Classic Dotty design, and just launched a brand-new, Limited Edition Red, White, and Blue Dotty Set! Build your own gift set combo for an adorable personalized gift for summer baby showers, birthday parties, and new baby gifts! The Limited Edition [...]
Your Name: Allison Billingsley Hometown: Penn Valley, PA What are the names and ages of your kids? What’s the story behind their names? Peyton 12, Piper 10 and Perry 5. People ask me all the time if they are family names and I respond, no, my husband and I just liked them so that’s what we named them. When I was pregnant with Perry, it just didn’t seem right not to have her name start with a “P”. Their middle names are all family names. A piece of advice you’ve always remembered: Nothing in life is just given to you, you have to work hard for it. What is a good tip every [...]

Name: Claire Franklin Hometown: Glenside, PA High school: Upper Dublin High School College: Old Dominion University What’s your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere down south. I love pretty much everything about it from the people, to the food, weather, and of course Southern hospitality. The best piece of advice you’ve ever received: “If you take less than 30 minutes to get ready you probably shouldn’t be leaving the house is the first place.” – When I put effort into [...]
My daughter, Ellie, had a big hip surgery on Wednesday at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and she did great considering all things. She was in a lot of pain for several days post op and for the most part, I was by her side. My sister, Kelley, came downtown to relieve me on Friday night as I was to go home, see my other kids and get a good night’s sleep in my own bed and Kelley would stay with Ellie. By the time I got everything settled at home, it was close to 11pm. I said to my husband, Brad, I really should go to bed (that’s why they sent me home, [...]
Customer of the Week: Fredericka Gorham Hometown: Lafayette, California What are the names and ages of your kids? What’s the story behind their names? My husband and I both wanted to name our kids something that wasn’t too trendy but not old fashioned at the same time. Our son, Christopher Lucas, is 3 and daughter, Meredith Alexandra, is 18 months. A piece of advice you’ve always remembered: You can’t expect to be a perfect parent all of the time but as long as you have confidence that you are doing your best most of the time you will be a good parent. What is a good tip every new parent should know? [...]
One of our favorite parts about working at Baby Be Hip is seeing all of the great names that come in with the orders! Personalized gifts are so special to give new parents and a new baby, especially if the baby has a unique name or spelling that can’t be found on personalized items in stores – by personalizing their name on a gift, it’s creating a customizable keepsake that parents will always treasure! We’ve started a new weekly infographic on our Facebook page that showcases the most popular boy and girl names of the week that we’ve tallied from our orders! It’s so fun to see the trend of the week with boys and [...]

What are the names of your kids and how did you choose their names? Our 3-year-old identical twin boys are Keegan Andrew and Quinlan John. Keegan is my middle name and Andrew is my husband’s name. We both loved the name Quinlan because it is of Irish decent. Andrew is from Ireland and I have Irish family roots as well. John is a family name on both sides of the family. The best piece of advice you have ever received: “You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow, they’ll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Breathe and notice. Smell and touch them; study [...]

When opportunity knocks on your door (or in this case drops into your e-mail inbox), my advice is to always take it. A few weeks ago I had the great opportunity to attend an intensive day of learning and pitch some Baby Be Hip products at the Count Me In/Smart & Sexy Event in NYC, which you may remember me mentioning in one of my previous blog posts, “The Dichotomy of Life – A Week in The Life“. The day was led by Ariela Balk, the founder and CEO of Smart & Sexy, and Nell Merlino, CEO of Count Me In, a business group for women entrepreneurs and both mentors of mine. If you’ve ever [...]
