Hi Babiekins readers! I have a feeling that you have noticed we are slowly introducing you to our new Babiekins Magazine blog contributors. We are so excited to have these lovely ladies on board and hope you enjoy getting to know them just as much as we have. Today I want to introduce you to Kaitlyn, an active mom with an eye for fashion. You can also find her over on her blog, Fringe of the Cro, where she proves that you don’t have to sacrifice your wardrobe for your little one. She has found the perfect balance between kids and fashion.

We asked her a few questions and here is what she told us.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn & I live in a very small town in Texas with my family. I have an awesome & encouraging husband & one beautiful little boy, Revel. I’ve worked with blogging, retail, interior design, but mostly, I’m just a 23 year old mom. I spend most days chasing him around while doing those normal mom things… Being inspired by those not so normal mom things. I love fashion & styling, cooking & eating, laughing & growing everyday. You can join me here: Fringe of the Cro // @kaitlyntru

What does 9pm look like in your house?
Me and my husband in bed, relaxing with some wine. He works very long days so we value all our time together.

What’s always inside your purse?
Cork screw. Kidding! Just the normal things like phone & wallet… Some EOS.

If you had a group of friends over for dinner, what would you prepare?
Salmon with a béarnaise over some spinach quinoa with an acorn squash wedge. It’s my favorite.

Pick two celebrities to be your parents?
I actually get asked about relation to Brooke Shields a lot. But I think I’d go for someone I could see raise me the same as my mother… Lauren Hutton is pretty timeless. Diane Keaton would be interesting, too!

If you could be invincible for a day what would you do?
If that applies to just taking risks in general, I’d finally open a boutique. It’s my dream.

What’s something you don’t leave the house without?
Besides my child, I guess my phone. Maybe some coffee :/

Favorite designers at this moment:
For children, I literally can’t get enough of Bobo Choses & Mini Rodini. I’m so original (eye roll.) I also really love Soft Gallery, Bang Bang Copenhagen, Quinn & Fox & really need to get my hands on some more!

Thanks Kaitlyn! We are so excited to welcome our new team of bloggers and hope you are just as thrilled.

Greetings Babiekins readers! Today we want to introduce you to Isabel, a talented young mama who happens to be another new contributor to Babiekins Magazine blog. On most days you will find her over on Instagram sharing her lovely photos or on her personal blog talking about family and fashion. We asked Isabel a few questions and this is what she has to say.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello. Although I love to write, I find it a bit strange to write about myself here. But, hey, let’s do this!!!
I am Isabel, a 29 year old mama from Belgium. I have a little boy named Jules (almost 3) and a babygirl named Jeanne (5 months old). I’ve been married for 3 years now to Walter. These three mean the world to me. I love being their mama and wife, but from time to time I need to get out of the house and meet my friends, who are pretty important to me too. They keep me sane and I love them for that. In 2012 I started to write a blog. I love to write, but find it quite challenging to write in English, which isn’t my mother tongue. I have a passion for fashion and love to shop, especially for the little ones. You will find out more about my little family soon!

Who is your style icon?
I am inspired by a lot of people, but someone who can’t do any wrong in my book is Kate Moss. Cliché, I know.

What song and/or band best describes you.
The Kills! For sure! Especially their songs ‘Future starts slow’ ( if i ever give you up my heart will surely fail) and ‘DNA’.

What does 9am typically look like in your house?
On the weekends 9 am means cuddle time in bed. The kids wake up around 8 and then we are all in bed together until 9 (or even 10 when we are having a lazy day) this is my favourite time of the weekend! Talking to each other and seeing how much love can fit in one bed.

Name something that is always in your handbag or purse.
Cookies (healthy ones, of course) or candy. My worst nightmare: starving to death!

Quick, you get 20 minutes to yourself, what do you do.
20 minutes. Not long enough to take a bath or shower so I’d probably check instagram/whatsapp or shop online!

Who are your favorite designers at the moment?
My favorite brands must be Acne, A.P.C, Cos and Isabel Marant. Their designs are simple yet timeless. Unfortunately, my wallet doesn’t always allow me to shop these brands.
For my kids I like TUSS, Nununu, Popupshop, Mini Rodini, Bobo Choses, Quinn + fox, Petit Bo …. and of course the Belgian Brands Morley and Gold Belgium.

Thank you Isabel for sharing! We look forward to reading your posts.
