Zoe & Sprout: A Locally Owned Online Store With Adorable Kids Tshirts and Onesies

September 24, 2007 | 3 Comments

I just learned about Zoe & Sprout, a locally owned online store of cute (and irreverent) t-shirts and onesies with slogans like:

  • I Can’t Read
  • Backseat Driver
  • Eat Sleep Poop
  • Hello My Name is No No
  • My Mommy is Hotter Than Your Mommy
  • Sleep All Day Party All Night

These would make great gifts for newborns and toddlers with an attitude.  Be sure not to miss Zoe & Sprout’s holiday collection.  I’m partial to the “Not an Elf” one myself.

The online shop was recently started by Amanda Zylowski of Bella Vista.

Special to All Sides of Life Readers:  use the code NWA at check out and get free shipping within Northwest Arkansas for all your Zoe&Sprout purchases!

Looking for a Face Painter for Your Next Kids’ Party?

September 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Try Viviana from Gift of Art.  She painted faces at the Washington County Historical Society’s Ice Cream Social last month and did a great job.  I also like her because she reads All Sides of Life (but I would recommend her even if she didn’t!)

Viviana can be reached by email or phone 479.426.1700.  Contact her for a price quote.
