]]>Our desire to be perfect consumes us.
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a fundraising brunch hosted by Bottega Clothing here in Billings this weekend. As I sat drinking my mimosa next to two beautiful ladies, my employees, I thought to myself, "Wow, every woman here is BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING, and Perfect!" What a blessing to be surrounded by these women. I then had thoughts of, "I wish I could pull off that style of dress. I would love to be that confident in heels. Oh, I should have worn a long dress to cover my legs! I should run to the bathroom and check my makeup. Ect." But then it hit me, these women not only have some of the same insecurities I am having, but these things (dress, heels, makeup, etc.) aren't really what made me think they were beautiful.
As I looked around the room I saw friends laughing, co-workers relaxing and enjoying themselves, ladies being silly getting their photos taken; it was then it hit me. The pure joy and connection everyone was sharing was what I appreciated in that moment and what makes each of us perfect!
There was also a moment I looked over at the owner of Bottega (a business owner whom I admire) and she was beaming! It wasn't her beautiful dress or her long lean legs that impressed me, it was her passion, her excitement of the event, and I saw in that moment, she was proud!!! It was powerful. If only we all felt that all the time. Yes, even when we mess up or say something that wasn't deemed 'appropriate'. If we TRUELY felt that proudness of ourselves in the lives we have built, the things we have accomplished and the things we have participated in, and heck, even felt proud of the things we haven't done perfectly.
You my dear are perfectly you. Own it.
]]>Our maternity clothing has been slowly coming in this spring, and we couldn't be happier with how beautiful it is! We are carrying 4 lines Lilac Clothing, Everly Grey, Ingrid & Isabel and Alex + Harry. The great thing about these collections is they are almost all made to wear beyond the bump! So they work perfectly early pregnancy, full term pregnancy AND after you are carrying that sweet bundle in your arms! (Shop our collection here or stop into the store at 219 N Broadway Suite B Mon-Fri from 10-6 or Sat 10-5)

Alright, let's get to the fun stuff!!! I have 5 new collections that should be rolling into the store in the next month! I cannot wait for you to see the new products!!!! I go back and forth about which ones are my favorite, but I cannot wait to see which ones you all like best!
Kickee Pants is a brand that has a HUGE following! It is made with bamboo so it is extremely soft. They make beautiful prints and the footie pjs have fleece lining so they keep baby warm but also cool them off if they are too warm.
{Thank you}
...Well as I sit here thinking about all of the wonderful things I could write about, my beautiful 20 month old baby, the blessings of the holiday season, new and beautiful products to feature from my store... my hands rest on typing about YOU... fans and supporters of Bumps 'n Bundles. Whether you shopped at Ca-Layla previously, just found out about us, saw an ad in Magic Magazine or online, or you just know me personally... I want to say 'Thank you!' Thank you for shopping local, thank you for believing in me, thank you for being patient with us as we worked out some of the kinks of owning a new business, thank you for saying hi to my daughter when you come in, and thank you for being the biggest reason I can live my dream day to day. I would not be here without YOU! I feel so honored and blessed to have this opportunity in my life and I'm happy I get to share it all with you.
Since a very very young age I have loved fashion, see attached photo. Growing up I had the pleasure of wearing mostly hand-me-downs from my two older sisters. I am grateful for that now, because I believe it gave me a strong sense of what I like and don't like (back then, not so grateful... hind site is 20/20). I want to bring uniqueness and trendiness to the great state of Montana! Let's be honest, Montana is the best state in the country, but we are a little behind when it comes to trends.
{We want to hear from you}
Feel free to give me feedback on what we have in stock and maybe even don't have! The only way to get better at ensuring my vision comes to fruition is to know what you want! If you find an amazing brand you cannot live without and you think others would feel the same, speak up! I'll see what I can do to carry it in-store...
I am so happy to take this journey with you all and cannot wait to create bonds and friendships with you all and watch your children grow year to year!
Merry Christmas to you all... xo!
B.
