And of course we must not forget the most important... MY birthday! :) Yes I celebrate the day of my birth in August as well. So all around it seems August is a month to celebrate. That is why No Slippy Hair Clippy's clips of the month fit so perfectly! Birthday hair clippies honor this special month. Check them out! There are birthday cake clips, numbered candles, princess hats and more. I might even sport a few myself... what? I can combine a few numbers! :)

Birthday Bonanzas

In just two weeks my little niece will turn the big -1- year old. I simply cannot believe how fast time has flown. I remember when she had just been born, she was infinitesimally small. I could fit 10 of her little hands in mine. She was fresh and snuggly and held all the promise that new life affords. And now one year later she is all the more beautiful! She is deserving of the most spectacular of birthday celebrations, alas I will not be in close enough proximity to help facilitate this. So, in honor of my precious little niece, I have written a list of 5 must haves for any one year old birthday bonanza:

1. Buckets of love, you know the good stuff, wet and sloppy!



2. A special birthday outfit: http://breasbabyboutique.com/category_40/Birthday-Outfits.htm



3. A special birthday clippy: http://hairclippy.com/shop_novelty-amber.asp







4. Cupcakes! So much easier than a whole cake and a lot cuter if you ask me. Here is one of my favorite recipes: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/polka-dot-cupcakes?lnc=98d20356c0041210VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&backto=true&backtourl=/our-best-cupcakes?lnc=98d20356c0041210VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&rsc=slideshow_food_our-best-cupcakes&contentid=85cb0000342f0210VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD#slide_1



5. Decorations! The cheesier the better! They will be small enough for silliness for only so long you know.. : http://www.1stbirthdayparty.com/



Happy Birthday to all those little sweet peas turning one this month!

June 2009 NSHC Press

In this month's issue of Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine, No Slippy's Leah Frayed Flower Clip is featured. It is a wonderfully sunny clip that is perfect for spring and summer and easily warms up any babies outfit.

In the June 2009 addition of Earnshaw's Magazine, No Slippy's Shocking Pink Birthday Cake Princess Bow is featured in a "Life of the Party" segment that showcases birthday party apparel and accessories for children. Our clip is a festive way to adorn your little angel with birthday flair. In my opinion it makes paper birthday hats a gaudy wasteful thing of the past. Birthday barrettes are the future for children's birthday celebrations!
