current momma obsession -- the wiggyroll -- giving away one too!

By Jenny Ford, Contributing Writer 

So I don’t have a lot of time anymore.  This mama’s kid is on the MOVE.  No time for installing things, plugging things in, backing things up, brushing my hair (oops, I let that one slip).  When I am trying to do these things my little guy is climbing all over me (Mama Mountain, I call myself) or getting into something else – so I instantly throw anything aside that has instructions.  When the WiggyRoll arrived, I seriously thought, Ohhh Mmmm Geeee, I am going to have to find the time to “install” this too – ugh!  Not so fast…as Oscar was climbing all over me and his car seat I decided to grab the new WiggyRoll and try it on for size. 

So simple I could’ve installed it while I had twins, or triplets even, crawling all over me.  And enough about the installation of the WiggyRoll, can I tell you that it’s so super soft that I kinda (secretly) want one for my car seat?  Even though we received the roll during one of the hottest days of the summer I know everyone will be looking for the perfect car seat blanket coming up in a few short months.  And one of my thoughts is - it’s not going to fall off at the most inopportune time as your crossing a giant puddle during those blustery months of winter.  Check out my little guy with it on…He looks so snuggly.




Ingenious design actually stays put on your kiddos car seat.  Some kids like to chuck things from their car seat (not mine, he’s perfect).

Built in storage – the WiggyRoll simply rolls right up and contains itself.  Ah, no last minute running through the house wondering where a clean blanket is.

The WiggyRoll is made of 100% anti-pill fleece.  Folks, they didn’t skimp on this fabric. It’s soft and it’s nice and thick, something I totally want in an outdoor blanket.

The blanket is cut precisely to a car seats measurements, which keeps it from hanging over the sides.  You can just tuck your little dumpling in and away you go.

I would totally go get one NOW before the fall and winter months creep up on you!  Or know someone with a baby due in the winter months, this would be a great gift for them too (I wish I had one when O was born last December, brrr.).

PS – they’ve got the cutest little matching hats too!

meet part of the cupcakeMAG team! Sprinkles Contributing Writer, Jenny Ford!




Jenny Ford loves all things in life that are pretty and functional.  

This silly Denver girl has an opinion about almost everything, and keeps about 1/3rd of it to herself.  She loves to spread the word about all she encounters which is why writing is such marvelous creative outlet for her.  Just like any girl she can get lost on the internet for hours daydreaming about an amazing new wardrobe or standing in front of her closet with a pair of scissors looking to make something new out of something old.  Creativity is oozing out of her pores whether it is through rearranging her living room because it’s been the same way for 2 months straight, or painting a quick project on her daughter’s bedroom walls, she’s always got a project going. 

Jenny wears the humongous, but fabulous, hats of Wife, Mom (of three) and serial entrepreneur.  Her very first business baby is a children’s shoe company, Monkey-Toes, which has been spoiled with her love and affection since 2000.  Laughing her a@$ off with her husband’s firehouse humor is an addiction for this girl.  In any free time she might have, she can be found indulging in some sort of sweet, in bed, while watching gluttonous reality television, as she is a self-proclaimed sugar addict.

Etsy Featured Designer -- Bunny BOWtique -- plus a giveaway!






Cute clips, fun colors and great styles! Whats not to love about Bunny Bowtique! When the designer sent us a sprinkling of fab clips we were beyond thrilled at what we saw. The Etsy shop instantly became a favorite! We especially LOVE the Wool Felt Embellished Clips  and the perfect pink & black set of four! And now Bunny Bowtique is taking custom orders! Do you have a Gymboree, Janie and Jack, etc outfit and need the perfect color or style to match? Well, Bunny Bowtique will make it happen!




We have a little girl with very fine hair. When she was a baby I purchased some really expensive clippies for her next to nothing hair. Little did I know it would take another year before we could even get them in her hair. I started to create a few styles for her and the next thing I knew I was making them for friends. Here I am over 2 years later and still enjoying designing new products. As for the name? My mom's name is Bunny (our daughter calls her Hop Hop)! Growing up everyone loved my mom's name, but always asked what her real name was...I couldn't count how many times I had to say "Bunny is her real name". It was the kind of name you couldn't forget so It felt like the perfect match to brand my clippies. Needless to say Hop Hop thinks it's pretty neat.    --- Jamie, designer of Bunny BOWtique.


Ready to shop? Well, you are in luck, if you can wait because Jamie is giving one of our lucky readers a $20 gift certificate to her shop! Tell us which clips you would buy!This comment is mandatory!
