1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
BZZYFINGERS was born out of my love for creating fun and functional items for babies, children, and adults. I strive to provide high quality products at fair prices, and regularly donate merchandise to a variety of non-profits and charity organizations.

2. Where is it located?
My studio is based at my home in East Falmouth. BZZYFINGERS baby items are available for purchase at Caline for Kids in Falmouth and Cape Kids in Mashpee Commons; adult accessories at Little Anchor Boutique in East Falmouth.

3. What is your favorite thing about our community?

I was born and raised in Falmouth. My family and friends are here, my home, the people and places I’ve grown up loving are all RIGHT HERE. I love the small town vibe and the way so many people work together to make Cape Cod a magical place to live.

4.     How else do you get involved with the community?

I am the PTO President (and Secretary!) at Teaticket Elementary School in East Falmouth and spend many hours each week volunteering. I also work at the BBC in Falmouth and am involved with organizing multiple fundraising events throughout the year such as the Polar Plunge, Lennonfest, sponsoring families during the holiday season, and working with organizations such as the Special Olympics with our Tip A Cop events (to name a few!).

5.     What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community?

Living on Cape Cod is not easy! Most locals don’t grow up spending leisurely summer days at yacht clubs; they work bussing tables as a second or third job to afford their rent or mortgage. The cost of living on the Cape makes affording childcare a huge financial burden.

6.     What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business?

I absolutely LOVE interacting with repeat customers! Seeing the same faces year after year visiting my booth at a local craft fair totally makes my day.

7.     What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community?

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Whether you are a new parent looking for support or resources, a seasoned caregiver with a new child in your care who has special needs, a grandparent raising a grandchild that is “out of the loop” and needs assistance... just ask! There are so many resources available to us through our medical professionals, school systems and social services- but if you don’t ASK for information or help, it will NOT fall into your lap.

8.     Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about?

Keep an eye out at Caline for Kids, Cake Kids, and Little Anchor Boutique as well as at local craft fairs to check our BZZYFINGERS products in person!

Woods Hole Child Center Clothing Sale: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! An Event of Shared Community and Cooperation

Woods Hole Child Center Clothing Sale: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
An Event of Shared Community and Cooperation

On Saturday October 21st, the Woods Hole Child Center will be hosting its 31st annual clothing sale at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church Hall on the Falmouth Village Green. The selection of clothing is enormous and includes outerwear, women’s and men’s casuals and professional attire, children’s clothing, shoes, some children’s equipment, and Halloween costumes.

Doors open at 9am. Clothing is priced very reasonably, most items priced between $1-$5. The sale ends with a “$5-a-bag” blitz from 2-3pm. This is a very popular part of the event and many who shop earlier in the day return for this bargain bonanza. Proceeds from the clothing sale will help cover the Center’s operational expenses.

The Woods Hole Child Center Clothing Sale has been a staple in the lives of many Falmouth and greater Cape Cod residents. Many hands pitch in to make light work of this event and clothing donations are always welcome. The Child Center accepts gently used clothing and equipment, and they are happy to sell items on consignment with a 50/50 split. Interested donors are encouraged to visit the website and click on the tab labeled “clothing sale” or contact the Child Center at 508-548-1773 for more information. Clothing drop off is scheduled for Friday, October 20th from 9am-12pm, at St. Barnabas Hall.

The quality of clothing should be mentioned too. Year after year, shoppers are astounded at the bargains that are available. In a time of increasing awareness of our responsibility to reduce our impact on the environment, recycling clothing in this manner makes this truly a “green” event!

In order to further benefit the community, the WHCC would like to work with other local charitable entities by offering them the opportunity to come pick up the clothing at the end of the sale. This must be pre-arranged through the Child Center.

7 Trends for 2017

My favorite outfit right now Lululemon top & LuLaRoe leggings

7 Trends for 2017
By Molly

As I sit here reflecting on what 2017 is going to bring about there are my hopes and dreams for this year that I will fight for and thoughts too of what will be popular this year. Based on my perspective of things here are 7 trends I think will occur.

People turning towards Whole Foods Plant Based Diets (WFPB).

  a. Pinterest is now full of lots of recipes that are WFPB.
b. Amazon sells lots of WFPB cook books.
   c. Greger’s website Nutrition Facts and book is growing in popularity
   d. Plus WFPB diets are an inexpensive way to solve lots of people's health issues

2. Simplifying Meals.

Just google Instant pot and tons of excellent reviews, recipes and testimonials now popup. I got on before they were that popular and now have two so I can cook beans and grains at the same time.

3. Athletic Dress Clothes. Not everyone call live mostly in workout clothes like I do.

I love the comfort and style of Lululemon and LuLaRoe and if you need dressier athletic pants checkout Betabrand dress pants yoga pants (I have not tried them as I am not a dress shoe kind of gal).

4. Straightforward Sustainable Workouts that can be done at home or right out your door. I run about 30 miles a week it is easy as I just get up and go. Then walk about the same amount between dropping the kids of and my next task that day. My strength training is 4 simple exercises I do at home 3 sets of pushups, sit ups/crunches, squats and arms with barbells three times a week.

Based on the gaining popularity of Sweat with Kayla others like a simple to follow workout plan.

5. Local Food/ US Made

Fresher produce and more sustainable and environmentally friendly
Higher quality and more jobs in USA.

6. Buy Nothing culture growing bigger

The group I am part of has grown a lot over that last few months with many more offers.
Buy Nothing groups help foster community and cut down on waste.

7. Small House/Apartment Living

Simpler, less expensive and environmentally friendly!
There have recently been lots of articles, blogs, and Pinterest post about small living.

What do you think will become trendy this year?

How do you and/or your business get into the spirit of giving?
Christmas Music! My family and I donate every year to various children's causes. It makes me sad to think that there are children who go without especially at this time of year.

What is your favorite part about this time of year?
I love to look at Christmas lights and other various buildings decorated for the season.

What is your local family “must attend” holiday event?
Well this is the first holiday season that I have a lot of time to actually spend with my family. We always try to make it to one of the surrounding town's holiday strolls and most years we go to the Falmouth Christmas Parade

Would you share with us a family tradition?
Growing up my parents bought my sister and I a new ornament for our tree. I love decorating my tree and using all of those ornaments. We have started to do that for our children as well.

If you could have one wish this holiday season, what would it be?
That everyone could slow down and really focus on what is most important- the people in their lives. I would wish that everyone is happy and not stressed about buying the right present.

What are your words festive words of advice for our families during this special time?
Enjoy the time! The holiday's come so fast and are over so fast!

What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Any pie or cupcake!

Do you have a favorite holiday song? If so, which one and why?
I love all Christmas music! I start listening to it the day after Thanskgiving!

A2Z BOWtique ~ Rave Review and Giveaway!

8/17/2012

3 Comments

I recently had the opportunity to check out and review a fabulous business called: A2Z BOWtique. Cape Cod Mom Kelly Eckstein is the owner and creative genius behind this adorable boutique consisting of fun printed dresses and complimentary hair accessories for girls! Even if you don't have a little girl, these dresses and bows make great presents for nieces, grandchildren, or friends! (Read on to find out how to win a fab custom made dress!)

Kelly is a stay at home mom to a beautiful little girl named Zoe. and teaches dance at Turning Pointe Dance Studio, located in Falmouth, in the evenings. Kelly has always had a passion for crafting. As inspiration from her little girl, she has found a new crafting skill: sewing and making hair bows. She took the next step and recently created A2ZBOWtique through etsy.com. She can also be found on Pinterest and Facebook! (see below for how to follow her).

I really love how Kelly pays close attention to detail as she pairs colors and patterns together to create the perfect ensemble! In the purple dress above, note how she has paired the pink bow with hints of the same purple within it, perfectly offsetting and completing the whole look!

We chatted with Kelly about her new venture:

When did you first start crafting? I just started sewing as of 2012...but I have been crafting for about 8 years.

What types of color combos and prints are your faves? I love bright colors!!

What is your inspiration and why dresses? My daughter Zoe is my inspiration and she loves being mommy's little model! Dresses are easy to make and I love putting on the finishing touch with a matching bow.

How do you incorporate this into daily Mommy life? I love to dress my little girl up and she loves to play dress up so it is a really special time together.

Kelly's newest additions to her collection are inspired by the upcoming fall season! I am head over heels for this fun and adorable Halloween dress and bow! I have plenty of nieces and friends with girls who would look so adorable in them!

To celebrate A2ZBOWtique's Grand Opening, Kelly has graciously offered to feature a Giveaway to our Cape Cod Mommies Readers! One lucky winner will win this fabulous Blue Pillowcase dress, custom made by Kelly just for you! Don't you just LOVE the color and pattern!!!!!
