I have noticed a growing trend in the last few years of mom’s creating their own companies. Perhaps they discover an untapped ability or a missing niche in the market or, in the case of B.Delicious founder Jennifer Talbot they take their pre-mommy skills (Jennifer was an installation artist pre-children) and use them in a new arena.
I first fell in love with B.Delicious designs when I came across the fabulous owls on Etsy. Handmade in a selection of fabrics these owls are brimming with personality and style. I am always looking for interesting and different new baby gifts and these fit the bill perfectly. Charming, playful and interesting the owls come in a variety of colours and styles. Technically they’re a decoration rather than a toy but they are so stylistic and fun that I would hope they have a long “shelf” life in a child’s room.
B.Delicious also do childrens’ barrettes and ponytail holders and the flowerpots are adorable (and last much longer than flowers you take to the hospital!)
One of the most stunning things I have ever seen for a kid’s room is Jennifer’s custom room design. Playful, tactile, charming and fun with new discoveries hidden throughout this is a brilliant example of mommy-know-how combined with artistic flair and is definitely worth checking out!
*I have no idea why B.Delicious’ name reminds me of a high school cheer but it does.

All about: Emily: Emily is very proud to be one of the Spilt Milk Moms ‘founding mothers’ as well as being Mama to “Little Miss” (who was born in August 2009) and Wifelet to her Husbando. She spent seven years living in London which helped her to develop a keen eye for amazing products from around the world. As an actress and producer, Emily ensured her place in hell with over 3 years in children’s advertising (her job was “to create want where there is no need!”) but looks to undo the damage by finding the best things around for mamas and little ones. Emily is always ready with fresh baking, a silly song, or a glass of chardonnay and is renowned for always being overdressed and having a killer collection of heels that she’s not afraid to wear (even whilst babywearing!). You can also find her on her personal blog Aprons & Heels ~ emily (at) SpiltMilkMoms (dot) com |
