          I remember a few years ago my sister set out in search of a cute nap-mat for her daughter (knowing she’d be going to daycare in the coming years… trying to find something practical but adorable – not always easy!)  I’m kind of a know-it-all – which I know isn’t really a compliment, but nonetheless if I don’t know where you can find a good deal or something cute offhand, I am resourceful enough to find something good quickly.  After about 10 minutes with the both of us browsing around online I stumbled upon the cutest handmade item baby boutique and emailed the link to Melinda. 
          When I remembered how cute it turned out, I sent Melinda a few questions (so I could remember all the details correctly!) – and thought I’d share her answers with you guys!!

Me:  Tell us about what you ordered from Custom Baby Boutique!
Melinda: Well I searched and searched on-line for nap mats and ran across this particular place and fell in love with their fabric and personalization options!  My friends made fun of me because my daughter wasn’t even in daycare yet but I HAD to have one!  So I didn’t get much use out of it for the first couple of months but the last year and a half it has been great!  She uses is everyday at day care during nap time and loves it. 

Me:  We found several websites with nap mats, why did you end up choosing this particular one?
Melinda:  Well, I love the way it is made; everything is all in one.  You have a mat, pillow and cover all in one piece.  It makes it very convenient to carry and it is machine washable so every week I bring it home from daycare to wash it.  Did I mention that it is also adorable?  I went round and round trying to pick a design because they were all so cute! 

Me:  How was their customer service and product quality?
Melinda:  The customer service was amazing, during the process of my order the owner’s home was affected by a hurricane and she was without electricity.  Yet she still contacted me and shipped my order on time!  I was really impressed that she went so far out of her way.  And the quality is wonderful, it still looks brand new!
