LITTLE PIECE OF OPULENCE


Celebrity babies are the trend du jour these days.  And celebrity babies have the luxury of living lavish, high-end lifestyles.  My grandbaby is a celebrity in her own right simply because she’s mine.  She will want for absolutely nothing and if I can afford it she will have that lavish and high-end lifestyle.

When it came to my kids, necessity was my primary motivation.  Needs came well before wants.  Extravagant was never in my vocabulary.  Not one was afforded the luxury of being spoiled.  Much to her parent's chagrin, I'm sure, my grandbaby will be spoiled rotten. 

Baby shopping has surpassed my obsessive shoe shopping.  Meemi’s baby will probably never wear one third of the clothes she’s already amassed.  Her closet is quite the envy!  It's ridiculous right now and I'm sure I'll come to my senses soon but right now I'm far too excited to be practical.

Recently, as I researched strollers I came across this beauty.  It was BMW’s fictitious April Fool's product which they touted as that little piece of opulence every baby needs.  The P.R.A.M. (Postnatal Royal Auto Mobile) was inspired by Britain's upcoming royal birth, and was available in a Royal Blue or Princess Pink version. It was reported to come with air-conditioning, four-wheel drive, and the N.A.P.P.I.E (Nanny Assisting Petrol Powered Injection Engine). 

I thought this darn thing was as cute as it could be and were it available for real, I might not be able to resist the urge to splurge on my little bundle of joy.

WELCOME TO MeeMi's Baby!


I’m MeeMi, which is short for fabulously young grandmother who refuses to be called grandma.  During the day I'm an award-winning, best-selling romance author.  When I'm not writing, I'm quilting and crafting and designing all things pretty for the people I love.

Recently, with two new nieces under the age of two and a new granddaughter due in August I’m suddenly obsessed with all things baby.  Combine that with my shoe fetish and my passion for fashion and MeeMi’s Baby just had to happen.
I’m not your typical girly-girl and thankfully, neither is my new daughter-in-law.  A former Army engineer with a yearning for zoology, she’s declared a moratorium on the color pink for her baby girl, preferring shades of green and yellow instead.  Thus begins my challenge; how do I keep MeeMi’s baby fashionably attired without forsaking one ounce of little girl cute?  Never one to shy away from a challenge I’m on a mission to keep three very special little people and all their little friends in the fashion know.  And you never know what else this MeeMi might toss into the mix!
I’m excited.  I think it will be an interesting journey for us all.  I look forward to where it will take us.  I hope you’ll stay for the ride!  So, welcome to MeeMi's Baby!
