What Sets Strawberry Jam Kids Apart:

  • Authentic Retro Vibes: Our designs capture the essence of the ’60s and ’70s, featuring bold patterns, bright colors, and funky prints that were synonymous with these eras. Your kids will love grooving in our bell-bottom pants, graphic tees, and flower power dresses.

About Strawberry Jam Kids: 
After having an Etsy shop for many years, founder, Caitlyn, launched Strawberry Jam Kids in 2020 and quickly grew a following of vintage-loving moms. Our pieces at Strawberry Jam Kids are designed by myself or with the help of print designers under my direction. We extensively research vintage children’s styles, silhouettes, prints and colors to create one of a kind styles inspired directly from the 60s and 70s.

Holiday Must-Buy if you Celebrate Christmas!

Guess this mystery doll?

Looking to start a new tradition with your little ones? This next one is a new favorite of mine and I don’t even have a little one. Have you guessed who the doll is on the left? It’s Santa! I know! He isn’t completely in all his Santa Claus gear but that’s because I’ve decided to play along! Each day we are adding a new clothing item!

As a parent you have likely heard this question a lot: “How many more days until Christmas?” Now Santa himself is here to help kids count down the days. Santa Clothes Doll is a super soft, adorable, plush Santa toy who is only missing his clothes and then he will be all ready for the big day! Santa Clothes® Doll is a fun way to build the excitement leading up to Christmas Day. Each night, beginning on December 12th, kids dress Santa by adding one article of his clothing before bedtime. The remaining clothes on Santa’s clothesline are a visual aid for kids to see just how close Christmas is getting. Kids can count the clothing on the line to know exactly how many days are left until the big day arrives.  For more information please visit: https://santaclothesdoll.com/

You hang up his clothes and each day you add a new piece of clothing to Santa!
This really is one of my most favorite products that I have received this holiday season!

The Gnome In Your Home Can Teach Kindness

Teach them the importance of kindness with The Gnome in Your Home. The Gnome in Your Home is an illustrated, rhyming children’s book about a group of gnomes who, due to their small size and lack of magical skills, question if they can make a difference. The hardcover book tells the story of a group of gnomes who learn they have a special gift of kindness to share. They find that even though they may be small, their kindness can make a BIG difference. The book is accompanied by an adorable plush toy, named Heartley, which will inspire families to establish a tradition of daily acts of kindness.  With the holidays around the corner, The Gnome In Your Home would make a great gift for little ones! The little one that I reviewed the Gnome In Your Home with loved the story and Heartley the Gnome! I love all the kind acts suggested at the end of the book!

My Favorite Fall Must-Try!

Soul Food Starters

Nobody knows good soul food like Booker co-founder of Soul Food Starters – well, except some of our grandmas. But in today’s world, not everyone has the time to put love into a good homecooked meal. You know, the kind of comforting soul food that gets each member of the family excited to sit down for supper. That’s why husband-and-wife team Claude and Crystal Booker decided to transform their cherished family recipes into pantry-ready starter kits that make it easy to bring together the heart and soul of every family through food.

I featured the brand a while back, but finally had the opportunity to try them! My favorite is the Peach Cobbler! It’s easy to make and it tastes delicious!

Find Booker’s Soul Food Starters at your favorite local grocers, including Winn Dixie, Kroger, Stop & Shop, Food Lion, and more. The meal starters are also available online.

To learn more about Booker’s Soul Food Starters, visit the family-owned business at SoulFoodStarters.com.
