RAVE!!! The Vintage Honey Shop!!!! :)

Hello and welcome to my review of a fantastic hand-made MUST HAVE for any baby, bambino, wee one, little, etc. ;)

It's been some time now that Madison (Miss Maddie) has been loving her teething necklace from The Vintage Honey Shop.  However, current events have inspired me to review this delightful shop in hopes that others may find and LOVE their necklaces, too.  These two Mommies (and in-laws), Jen and Mel, put their hearts (and also their livelihoods) into this business.  It is APPARENT, through emails and postings on social media, just how PERSONAL this is to them.  They reply personally to inquiries and truly get excited when others find their products useful.  With that said, I would like to share my experience. 

OY VEY! Keeping little one's hands (and fingers) out of noses (and other delicate areas) can be so hard when you're breastfeeding.  The Vintage Honey Shop has made the PERFECT solution for this problem.  Beautiful, hand-made teething and nursing necklaces that are adjustable by length, patterned for preference, and with or without the wooden teething ring is what they make.  Also, they make silicone necklaces.  We, however, chose the fabric teething necklace with the wooden ring.

                                           No more NOSEBLEEDS for MAMA! LOL.

MORE THAN ANYTHING- we have found that these are great for DAD'S!  Dad's don't lactate, after all.  They need some kind of tool to keep baby busy!  Toys fall on the ground, get dirty, need to be cleaned.  The necklaces from The Vintage Honey Shop are perfect because Dad can wear them, too and it eliminates germs!  They are fully washable in dish or laundry soap.  My hubby LOVES the necklace, and the gender-neutral color and print, which makes it perfect for us both. They make male-specific necklaces, but he is happy to wear my fabric teething necklace. I would even venture to say that he wears it MORE than I do because I have something he doesn't. ;)

When baby's happy=everybody's happy!  So thankful and grateful to Jen and Mel for making such a practical product.  I rave about it everywhere I go and especially GUSH to new parents about how useful this product is.  NOT TO MENTION: Fashionable and Customizable.

Thanks again, to The Vintage Honey Shop for making parenthood just that much easier.  Every new parent knows, any "leg up" is appreciated! LOL.

Please check out this wonderful family-run shop and all of the many FABULOUS options on their website:

Madison's first trip to the ocean.  Fort Bragg, CA April, 2016

The most beautiful, (yet not so beautiful) night.

A rough night. Lots of back and forth parades from the rocking chair to the bassinet. Tears. Tylenol. Teething? Growth spurt? Mommy has energy after it's all over and baby is snoozin', no doubt the adrenaline effects. Reflecting. Pictures. This girl. A month ago maybe? Just pure snuggly love. No enhancements or filters needed for this sweetness. This is temporary, ALL of it. Each stage of human life. The good, the bad. It's all so beautiful. Exhausting? Oh, yes. But she's everything I want. Forever...
