Nurseries by Mimi {Shop Spotlight & Shop Credit Giveaway}

When you have a vision in mind that you can’t seem to shake and you come across a person highly committed to making that vision happen it is pretty exciting. That is exactly how Jeanie runs her shop and she doesn’t offer anything less. When I came across Jeanie’s beautiful crib bumpers and reached out to her with exactly what I had in mind she went straight to work finding exactly what she needed to make this vision possible. Not only was she dedicated to making my dream come true, she was incredibly excited and passionate about doing so. There is no doubt that Jeanie loves what she does and her entire heart is in her work. She completed the order quickly and it was on my door step before I even expected it! It’s been tremendously hard to keep it from you this long. So, let’s not any longer…

Jeanie put together the perfect crib bumpers for Elyse’s room. It’s incredible how much they tie everything together. The fabric ties added the perfect feminine touch to the room and I couldn’t be more in love. I just love how girly her room is and have had so much fun putting it together. The piping is perfect along the bumpers and the colors were perfect, exactly as I had imagined.

Now, you’re not going to want to miss hearing the beautiful heart behind this shop AND be sure to read to the bottom for an awesome giveaway just for you!


Who is Mimi?

Mimi is actually me … Jeanie Allen.   I am wife, mother, grandmother, and professor of Developmental Psychology.  I currently live in Ozark, Missouri with my husband, Maggie and Mocha (our dogs), Misty (our cat), and 2 granddogs and a grand cat! 

I officially became Mimi in August of 2013 with the birth of Henri.  I struggled with what I wanted him (and other future grandchildren) to call me.  One day I received a card from the mother of my son-in-law addressed to Mimi (I later discovered that Mimi is the seamstress from the opera La Boheme.  Very fitting!) and that became my name.

What is Nurseries by Mimi?

Nurseries by Mimi is my “all things nursery and more” Etsy shop.  It actually began when my daughter was pregnant and asked me if I would make the baby bedding and accessories.  I grew up sewing and I was used to creating clothing, curtains, dust ruffles, pillow covers, and many other household items.  However, I had never made a quilt.  Being the adventurous crazy person that I am, I said, “Yes.”  And I fell in love with designing and creating quilts. 

My favorite task involves custom orders.  I get so excited when someone tells me they want a certain theme, or a set of colors, or even specific geometrical shapes.  I will spend hours (days, if I have to) searching for the perfect fabric just for that person.  The entire time I am creating my product, I constantly picture people smiling as they use my creations. 

I use only high quality fabrics, because I want your items to last many generations.  I believe that Mimi make memories!

I currently offer quilts, security blankets, burp cloths, bedskirts, bumper pads, pillow covers, crib sheets, and bibs.  I am always willing to try something new, also.  I have recently ventured into requilting (remaking a cherished quilt that needs an upgrade) and tee shirt quilts. 

Jeanie is offering one of you a $20 Shop Credit. All you have to do is enter the rafflecopter below. Also, my Instagram followers get bonus entries for every day they share the giveaway photo, so don’t miss that opportunity!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
