Baby Steps is Now Open!

One of our biggest dreams finally came true when we opened our first ever baby and mommy store - Baby Steps! Grabe, who would have thought we'd be store owners and entrepreneurs. I've always wanted to be a businesswoman but I didn't know what exactly I would like. I have so many on my list but having a store that provides the best, not to mention, unique items for the meticulous and even kikay moms and moms-to-be came top of my list.

Come and visit us at Ground Flr. FSA 3 Bagsakan ni Edad T.Claudio St. Dipolog City
We're open from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm Mondays to Saturdays
We welcome Wholesalers and Resellers as well. ;) Please inquire at 0917.628.8618

We had our Grand Opening  last Saturday, August 18, 2012. Though kami-kami lang kasi hindi pumunta yung mga nainvite namin since ang aga ng store blessing (8:30 am), we were still very excited and happy because after all the months we've worked for this, we finally had it open to all! Nag-pay off din ang mga pagtitipid ng sweldo pambili ng stocks, down payment sa rent, at pagprocess ng mga permits for the business!

The location was indeed a blessing kasi hindi yan originally ang place na ni-rent namin kasi at the time we've inquired, wala nang ibang vacant near the clinics ng OB, Pedia and Family doctors. But on the last week of July, we learned that a stall will be vacant by the end of the month kaya we immediately grabbed the opportunity... and so they say the rest is history. We immediately fell in love with the location because it was facing the main road.

So like what I said, we wanted to really have our own store na magcater sa mga needs and wants ng mga moms and first time moms who are very eager to give the best to their babies, especially if cute items at porma ang paguusapan. We also wanted to have a one-stop shop na meron na yun para sa needs ng moms until after they've given birth. Kasi noong nagbubuntis pa ako kay Eliza, nabitin ako sa pamimili kasi kulang-kulang naman sa Dumaguete and even dito sa Dipolog so naisip namin bakit hindi na lang kami magspecialize dito di ba? Thus it was born.

Why the name nga pala? Kasi according to Ace, Baby Steps has a lot of meaning attached to it. We take small steps towards something bigger di ba, and so he said ang parenthood, hindi naman automatic na natututunan and there's no school for that. That's why everyday is a learning process, taking "baby steps" towards knowing how to become the best parents we can be. Naks!

As for the slogan, "Bringing Beautiful Beginnings", well there's a lot of things that bring beautiful beginnings - knowing you have a gift inside your womb growing; having a baby brings a family closer than ever; the excitement and anticipation; preparing the baby's stuff... and the list goes on. But apart from that, we envision our store to be a gift shop to any and every Mommy and Baby occasions - from the Baby shower, to Mommy's delivery, to christening/dedication, to the baby's firsts including birthdays! 

We're new, but definitely we're competitive.  Medyo bare pa yung store kaya naghahanap pa ako ng iba pang suppliers. But I'm really happy kasi may nasimulan na kami.  More exciting stuff to come!

Ayan, shinare ko lang ang excitement ko. Hehehehe! Help me to pray for the success of our business kasi para ito sa mga babies namin ni Ace. :D
