The New Year always makes me think of that beyond cheesy sequel, Rudolph’s Shiny New Year. But, it was another excuse to watch a holiday special and if you will remember, we had to watch when it was on and that was it. We didn’t get to rewind, TiVo, or any of the other things we do now. It took me a couple of years of watching it to understand that even Rudolph can jump the shark.
To this day, I still think of babies as I ring in the New Year. And so I want to introduce you to two Hip Baby Mamas that I’ve recently discovered: Hilary Simon of Whirled Peas Baby Food and Jenn Larson of Bump Club and Beyond. What better way to start out the new year than to get the very best food for your baby, while whittling your butt down from having that baby? Isn’t motherhood the best?!?
Hilary Simon and business partner Wendy Brennan started Whirled Peas because they wanted the best for their own kids. And, that meant Organic! What’s more Hip/Austin than organic? If you are looking for the highest-quality, fresh and clean baby food, check them out. Even the name is Hip – very cleaver, girls. What could be better than Whirled Peas?
I love that Bump Club is all about connecting mothers-to-be and new moms at a time when women really need to connect. Jenn is a great example of a Hip Austin Mom – caring, ambitious, spunky (former NFL cheerleader) and smart. She also owns 2 beagles so obviously she has great taste. Anyone who had anything to do with this is pretty Hip…
Do your baby and yourself a favor and check out these great Austin business started by savvy Austin mothers. Because your alternative of sitting on the sofa and feeding your baby something from a jar that pops when you open it is so 2011.
