INSPIRING THE ITSY BITSY AND THOSE THAT LOVE THEM
Style, clothing + inspiration for the itsy bitsy!
The four of us just got back from Chicago - a quick, jam-packed, fun trip that left me realizing what our travel needs are as a family. Life has definitely gotten easier now that Lucy is almost 8 and Greer is almost 5. However, I’ve learned there are still ways to stay organized and feel good about packing - especially when you are doing it for your little ones. I find the trickiest part of travel to be…
Read MoreWhen a family member or friend have a new baby it is sometimes tricky to come up with the right care package to bring them to let them know how excited you are! Food + nourishment, something for the little one to wear or use and a hug. When that meal-train email comes through you can hop on it without stress. Through the years, I have honed in on my go-to care package - what peeps need (+ want!), a package that is not too expensive that is also easy to put together. Let’s face it - when I make others dinner normally my own family suffers and eats eggs that night! Today Im sharing my “new baby care package” jam with you. My gig is tried and true and easy…
Read MoreAt the Bitsy Style Pop Up Shop back in March we had lots of fun gems for people to shop - lots of brands our customers had never heard of. One of our favorites (and best-selling) was the Nailmatic collection. So naturally we’ve teamed up with the Nailmatic team to bring you a fun giveaway and share why we adore their brand oh-so-much! Let us introduce you…
Read MoreA few weeks ago we brought you a NYC with Kids post sharing how we tackle planning a trip into the City with our girls and what fun things we’ve done. We want to continue to share ideas on NYC adventures as fun ideas pop up and we keep exploring. So today’s post is a little smaller, but hopefully we can keep bringing you…

Read MorePreppy Prodigy is a stationery brand that we’ve been following for quite some time. As we’ve watched their brand grow we’ve become more and more inspired!

Read MoreEveryone gets overwhelmed. But how do you come out of it? I usually crawl into a hole for a few days. Then I come out of it, but only a little. It usually then takes on the form of inspiration boards, sourcing product + ideas and making lists. (OH, and driving my hubs crazy hee hee). Truth is, we've had such a world-wind few months and now that our lives are in more order it has been quite tough getting back on our regular schedule! I've been feeling a bit un-motivated myself and needed a rest, then a push. Does this happen to you? This weekend I made a big push in piecing together
Read MoreWe have a new crush and want to share. Just in time for beach season on the East Coast we are pumped to introduce a swimwear brand for boys, girls + baby that we adore. When creating this post I had trouble picking which suit patterns to include. They are that good. One pieces…
Read MoreWe’ve received lots of asks about things to do in NYC with the little munchkins. Whether it be a day visit or a whole weekend, we head into the City all the time with Lucy + Greer. One of my favorite trips to NYC throughout the year is my birthday trip in April/May. Every time we start planning a jaunt in I set our family up with a simple plan: Find a fun | different activity, a fun place to eat + an…
Read MoreHoliday + theme dressing is one of our favorite jams. Done in good taste, of course! One of our most favorite brands Allegra and Luca create the most adorable, sweet Mexican tunic for your little girl. These little numbers go with so much and also make great cover-ups in the summer or on vaca. You can also swing them
Read MoreWe’ve been working hard to get each room in our farmhouse renovation checked off of the list. Its been challenging since Mike and I have been doing a lot of the work for the reno ourselves and to-dos in different rooms hit the priority list that inhibit us from completing one actual room. For instance, our music cabinet in our family room is still not built. Truthfully, we thought that would have been the first thing Mike completed! Holidays, events and life have kept our list on its own track, despite
Read MoreWe want to motivate you to check Mother’s Day gifts off of your list early so we are sharing a fabulous Mother’s Day gift option today.

Read MoreAs you know, we are always seeking great gift ideas at Bitsy. When we started searching for great product for our Pop Up Shop we opened in March, we came across a “hot ticket item”…
Read MoreI’ve recently received a lot of questions about First Holy Communion dresses and shoes. Lucy makes her Communion on April 27th, so we’re on the “Communion scene” for sure 😜! I’ve been on the hunt for a while. Lu decided to wear my sister, Meredith’s dress. She loves mine, but my sister’s dress suits her perfectly. It fits her perfectly and is so Lucy’s little style. I can’t wait for you to see it! She decided she wants to wear
Read MoreHappy Friday to you. Oh boy are we so happy it is Friday. We have been so busy in the Bitsy household. Cleaning up from the Pop Up Shop, getting our girls back on a normal schedule, finishing up house projects and getting ready for our vaca in a week. Its raining in CT today and I am secretly okay with it. We are looking so very forward to a weekend with no plans - just piecing ourselves back together after a month-long rush and spending some good family time together. Today Im sharing our family’s pancake recipe
Read MorePetite Lucette is a brand we’ve been following for a long time. Its a brand we’ve been buying for our girls for a long time. Its a brand we stand behind and have loved watching for a long time. They’ve just launched their first-ever women’s line and we have been so thrilled to share it with you! It is THE BEST and the most well done “Mommy and Me” line we’ve seen (and we’ve been around!) I snagged a few pieces for myself (I went for the Francine skirt in honey, the Georgette Overall in celadon green, the Rimbaud blouse in black thin squares and
Read MoreA few months back I came across a fabulous little brand named Paper Cape. Their jammies stole my heart, but as I poked through their website I fell in love on every corner. I am a visual person - I love touching and feeling fabrics. I have been doing it for so long that it has become so much a part of who I am. There are those few times, however, when I am online shopping (personally or for Bitsy) when I know (without being able to touch a product) that it is just the right quality fabric and beautifully crafted. Visiting Paper Cape’s website was one of those times. They’ve generously offered Bitsy’s readers a 20% discount so keep reading to learn more…
