Everyone knows those sweet photos of babies snuggled on top of pillows or smushed up in a flower.

Those photos are taken by famed photographer Anne Geddes. Anne was born in Queensland, Australia on a beef cattle farm with 4 sisters. For many many years before becoming the incredible talent we all now know she traveled, worked, loved and lived until she found that exact passion that made her feel complete, photography. But not just any photography, the kind of children’s portraiture that makes your heart melt and wish you could get inside the photo with her subjects.Today Anne Geddes’ name is known worldwide. Anne’s award-winning images have been published in 83 countries spanning North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Her books have sold more than 18 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 24 languages.

I received her book Pure as a Christmas present from Rob when I was pregnant with Shaun. Opening it for the first time took my breath away. The timing was perfect; the book was filled with images of not just sweet wrinkly babies but of gorgeous glowing pregnant women. The picture of me opening that gift I wasn’t so glowing or gorgeous but the book made my Christmas. I’m not a book collector but this is one I will never let go, that is until it’s time to give it to one of my daughters.

This book along with her other publications, calendars, stationery and best of all babies and children’s clothing and accessories are available at AnneGeddes.com or at the first Anne Geddes retail store in the Downtown Disney® District in Anaheim, California. Shoppers there are able to enjoy selections of Anne’s large, art-quality prints, touch the soft natural materials of her Pure baby clothing line or the classic Fairy Tale collection. Another benefit of being a shopper is the chance to see and meet Anne in person as she is known to stop by now and again from her home in Australia, enjoying the opportunity to chat with friends and fans and to sign her books.

We had the opportunity to experience Anne Geddes’ Tiger collection with a analysis of the Tiger Jacket. I chose the “boy” color to match with more things of Shae’s thing and I wasn’t disappointed with that decision. The jacket is warm and velvety soft. She looked at it and screamed out “For Me!” as soon as I pulled it out of the box. She wore it a few times already and it looks and feels great. This particular jacket is for cool weather but not heavy cold winter. The hood features the cutest little tiger ears too.

Shopping for kids clothes is one of my favorite things to do. I love seeking out bright colors, vivid patterns and cute ensembles that match my kid’s personalities. Since Sabreena was a baby The Children’s Place has been my number one place to shop for clothes, coats and jammies.

This year we bought Shaun the 3-in-1 jacket for the winter. It comes with a fleece inner jacket that easily zips out for warmer days or cooler days indoors at school. We’ve used the coat several times now in the snow and there has been absolutely no problem with Shaun staying warm and dry with it’s nylon outer shell. We didn’t pick up the matching hat but Children’s Place was so kind to send the Faux Trapper hat that I was eyeing, I call it the Fargo hat. Shaun wasn’t too crazy about the hat in the beginning but quickly realized that it kept not only his head warm but also his ears from turning to ice cubes.  As a matter of fact both Shaun’s and Shae’s winter coats were purchased from The Children’s Place.

Along with his new hat Shaun received a beautiful Faux-Sherpa Hoodie Cardigan and matching knit hat that was a perfect addition to Christmas Eve visiting. He’s a jeans and tshirt kinda boy but this luxe brown sweater added just a touch of classiness without forcing him to be uncomfortable.

Shae was treated to a ton of goodies courtesy of The Children’s Place. Shae literally squealed with excitement when I showed her the sweater/hat/mittens combo that she received. She wanted to try everything on immediately so on top of her jammies went the new items still with tags attached.

This winter The Children’s Place has introduced not just cute apparel but also great accessories and toys to fit into any kid’s life. From watches to stuffed animals to fun board books the Children’s Place is a great place for shopping for kids of all ages. The holidays may be over but The Children’s Place is always a great place to shop for all your kids needs.
