Almost as precious and important as baby names, is the baby clothing.
I'm not just talking onesies and bibs here, I'm referring to perfect, well put together, southern outfits for our future sorority girls and fraternity stars.
Why not dress our children like perfection from the beginning?
That must be the exact question that caused Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines to come out with their children's clothing lines.

There is absolutely nothing more adorable than a little boy in a bow tie, or a little girl in bright, big, colorful prints.



So start the prep early and strong.

One of the best things about a baby,  I think, is the ability to name them.
Personally, I think names are a HUGE deal. 
That's how your baby will be identified for the rest of their lives. 
Pretty big decision huh?


Now being from the south, 
I can't think of anything better than a traditional old family name for a little boy or a precious double first name for a little girl.
Thankfully, for those of us who are lacking in the creativity area, there are thousands upon thousands of websites dedicated to just that: good ol' southern names. 


One of my personal favorite websites combines traditional southern names with double names:

Some of my current faves are:

Isabelle Dare
Lilly Grace
Addison Dawn


Ellison John
Beckett Lee
Noah Braxton


So when naming your baby, keep it unique, keep it memorable, and keep it double.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice.

We've all heard the nursery rhyme:


"Sugar and spice
and everything nice
that's what little girls are made of.
Frogs and snails
And puppy-dogs' tails,
That's what little boys are made of."

Well, that's exactly what this blog is all about. 
Perfect baby girls and perfect baby boys, and all that they entail.

Inspired by all of family and friends who are mommy's and daddy's to be or who may have just been blessed with a newborn.
I may only be in college, but I absolutely cannot wait to be a part of motherhood.
From baby names, to strollers, to baby's first website, it'll all be here.


With sugar and spice, xoxo.
