Monster Playground Pants are in!

Hi,  Friends!  I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to our new supplier of super comfy and cute pants for babies and toddlers............Monster Playground.



The pants are perfect for so many reasons.  They have elastic waistbands to keep babies comfy.

They also come in an array of fabric colors and weights for different seasons.

(.....Or,  like this summer in Berkshire County with it's drastic change in temperature from one day to the next!) 

They run from a size 6 months to a 2T.  Prices range from $8-$10, so they are very affordable. 

I am thrilled that to have Angela Burro join forces with Jam 'N Jellybeans and offer her creations to you all.


Angela is a talented artist who also has her own Etsy shop, called Monster Playground.

Take a look at some of her art!





Have a great weekend, everyone!

Jam on!

Love, Peace, and Sandy Feet,
Mama Nic

Let's get this Mother Truckin'

Do you like what Jam 'N Jellybeans is all about and would like help fund the next creative project? 

Mama Nic has a business plan set to go, along with the drive, determination, education, and experience but needs your help with the start-ups costs.  Investing in a project like this will do more that help out one Mama and her family get a sustainable, vital business off the ground, but will help her to support her family and give back to the community and world around her.  Donating to get her started will in turn help the community, spread awareness about green and eco-friendly practices, support handmade vendors, and make her dream of taking Jam 'N Jellybeans to the streets!  How you ask?  Read on.....



I am sure you have heard of the success stories happening right now across the nation, or seen for yourself the food truck business that has really caught on as a practical and fun way to do business?  Well, Mama Nic has decided that this idea is very applicable to a retail shop or service business and it is her goal to turn an old Box Van (or vehicle of the like) into her own traveling retail boutique! 

 Jam 'N Jellybeans on wheels will be able to go directly to her customers instead of waiting for them to find her.  She will get to attend concerts, festivals, events, fairs, and markets anywhere she sees fit.  She will also be able to offer her truck to be booked for private parties taking the home party to a whole new level!  Not to mention how fun it would be for you and your friends to have a truck full of groovy things come right to your house.  




Being a mother of three,  she needs the flexibility that a business model like this has to offer.   It is also her dream to live by the coast and it just seems organic to start a business she can pour her heart and soul into and then be able to have it move with her when her family is ready.  


She also plans to do events to help her local community and charities with some unique fundraising events that would only be possible in having a traveling boutique. 


If you have any questions for Mama Nic or have an idea or suggestion, please email her at mysweetmarmalade@yahoo.com.
