Hey friends! Some big news to share today. I’ve been awfully quiet here on the blog but that’s because I’ve been hard at work over the last few months learning all I can about the art and science of onesie printing: finding printers, creating designs, ordering test prints, learning about shipping (woof), and setting up an online store.

It’s no secret that this little family of mine is a proud Chicago unit of three. (Make that four: our cat is also a huge fan.) My husband and I went into this whole parenthood business pretty confident that this windy city is an awesome place to raise babies and kids—and now that we’re knee deep in it all, we’re positive that’s the case. I’m so proud to raise Hudson in this diverse, vibrant city and I hope that however his life unfolds, he’ll always call Chicago home.

So that was my inspiration in starting a shop for Our Kind of Town–a celebration of Chicago and all that it has to offer it’s biggest little fans.

You can access the shop through this link or by clicking Shop in the top menu of this blog.

It’s hard to draw a line in the sand and say today’s the day! We’re getting started. I’m a perfectionist and there are roughly 3-4 million more things I would like to do—mostly more designs to add, additional styles of shirts, and options for bigger toddlers. But perfection is the enemy of progress, as they say, and I’m so excited to share this with you all now.

I’d love, love, love your feedback and ideas to help me learn and grow on this exciting new adventure. And if you have new ideas for onesies or tees you’d like to see, let me know!
