According to Babble, Ambajam is for the stylin’ tot on the go
As their site states, Babble is the magazine and community for a new generation of parents. The site is full of helpful information, reviews, features, videos, advice on everything baby and family related. We were delighted when Ambajam was selected for one of their product reviews and even more delighted when the review commented that “Ambajam is iresistible to anyone looking for unique and practical clothes for their infants and toddlers.” Click here to read the rest of the review.

It’s our Birthday!
Woohooo, we’re turning two!
Today is Ambajam’s 2nd birthday!! It’s hard to believe it was two years ago already that I embarked on this grand adventure. And what an adventure it has been! As some of you may know, I was on the search for a special and perfect gift for my friend’s newborn twins when the idea for Ambajam first started percolating in my head. Being the type of person who likes to just dive right in, I soon found myself surrounded by piles of fabrics, animal shapes, onesies and an ever evolving idea to create a unique, fun and playful line of quality baby and toddler clothing and accessories.
From the start though, Ambajam has always been more to me than just a product line. Ambajam is a family, a lifestyle. We want you all to feel a part of what Ambajam is all about which is why we love to run fun contests like our “Little Ambajamers” photo contest. We also love to hear our customers’ stories…how their child refuses to go to sleep without their cuddle-up blanket in hand or how their child now has an obsession with frogs thanks to the Ambajam froggie tees and pants! It’s so rewarding to hear these stories and see the photos. There is no denying that this is a tough business. Trying to build a brand from scratch has inherent challenges, frustrations and moments of desperation! However, those challenges and frustrations always fade to the background when I talk with our customers or receive a fun email or photo. Funnily enough, I received the following photo from a customer just as I was writing this post!
Madeline and her Pink Mini Cuddle
It has also been so rewarding to see the response we have been receiving on our blog. Our blog is a way to share info and stories about what’s going on at Ambajam while at the same time offering fun contests and helpful information to our readers on subjects ranging from best gifts for dads to sleep tips for babies (a great post written by our fabulous guest blogger, Nicole Johnson).
As we step over the threshold into “Year Three”, I am excited by what we have accomplished so far and am confident that this year we will continue to build the reputation of Ambajam as a “go to” venue for must have baby and toddler items. Our belief is that every baby should have an Ambajam Cuddle-up blanket – so help us spread the word!
In closing, I wanted to share a poem that my mum wrote when Ambajam first launched. It captures the Ambajam spirit pretty well I think!
Ambajam is who I am
and who I am is Ambajam!
Come join the fun, see what I’ve done.
It’s fun I’ve done so please do come
into my world of colors bold,
where frogs and turtles come to play,
and elephants with trunks that spray
dots and circles both large and small
on onesies, blankets, quilts for all.

Baby and Toddler Jackets for Fall Weather

Baby Clothes for Cold Weather
With fall rolling in quicker than we know it, it’s a good time to think about getting some warm clothes for your little one. At Ambajam we know it’s important for babies and toddlers to be comfortable while they play, so we have a few different options for parents to consider when dressing their kids for the cold seasons.
Layering is important so that when you do go inside, your baby isn’t too hot. You can start with a long sleeve tee or onesie, then add a hoodie jacket and top it off with a cuddle up blanket.
It’s a good idea to keep an extra blanket in your car because sometimes mother nature surprises us. Especially when summer is winding down, you may not expect the evening to cool down so much and so quickly. You don’t want to get stuck waiting for soccer to be over with out a warm blankie.
Having a hat or beanie will also be helpful and it’s nice if you can get kids used to wearing these at a young age so they don’t pull them off right away.
Enjoy watching the season change and the leaves fall and stay warm.
