This has been a year of firsts for us!  On November 28th, we had the opportunity to be guests of Julia Sherwin on her radio show, Perspective on Parenting. Not only did we share the story behind GiGY, Madeleine got to perform live!  As a mother/daughter biz, we are about so much more than bringing you awesome products. Our business journey is about learning from and teaching each other, growing together, and encouraging one other to try things we never thought we would. Chatting with Julia live was such a fun experience and another lesson in the benefits of reaching outside your comfort zone.  Here...

Vinnie Paolizzi, "Waiting on Me"  The best part about this business is the people we meet and the artists we are introduced to along the way. It is such a treat when we get to see an artist that we have designed a GiGY™ case for.  Last Saturday, Madeleine and I went to check out the Haverford Music Festival. Because we didn't have a GiGY™ booth at this event, we got to walk around and listen to the music on all the stages. We were a bit bummed that we showed up too late to see Sunday Muse, but then found out we were...

We are so excited for our film debut with the talented team from Something's Awry Productions. They just filmed their latest short film, Encore, about two rising YouTube stars.  If you have not met Kris, Kurtis, Nik, and Amy, I am so excited to introduce them to you. This family is the heart and soul of Something's Awry Productions. From stop motion animation to commercials to short films, they do it all. And I mean it all...from writing the scripts, to filming, and through post-production. Something's Awry Productions has produced commercials for companies, such as Lego and Hot Wheels, and award-winning...

We had a great time at the Burlap and Bean open mic last week. If you haven't been there, it is worth the trip. It's every Wednesday hosted by Michael Braunfeld. Michael opens, each artist plays at least one original song, and every week there is a featured performer. You can't beat the coffee and smoothies and Tara, the owner, is an amazing live music enthusiast. You can view the full performance schedule on the Burlap and Bean website. We want to send a huge THANK YOU to Michael for checking out our new bags. We are so happy he is a fan!...
