We’d like to share another post from "BABY (HAMICO) & I " series where we got to interview our favorite HAMICO ambassadors and take a little peek into their personal life!
In this interview, we connected with the amazing Katie, the mother of a beautiful daughter with a husband and two dogs. She shared with us how she is active on blogs and outdoor activities with her family at Ocean City, New Jersey. We've also asked her to kindly share how we could together cope with the current situation and for her advice towards other mothers out there.

And of course....her experience with HAMICO 💛

1. My name is Katie! I am happily married to my husband Matt and together we have two dogs, Cal & Bear, and one little lady Ava! Ava will be 3.5 in June!

2. We moved to Ocean City when Ava was less than a year old! It's actually my childhood summer town! It’s an island, and while we do still get a long winter we love being on the beach, bike riding, supporting the small businesses here, and just enjoying the breeze on our porch!

3. Ava and I love to go on picnics together. We also do lots of walks and collect things - seashells, pinecones, flowers! We’ve been doing loads of arts and crafts too!

4. I started a blog in January! I love it! I do two new blogs per month. It keeps me sharp and creative and constantly pushes me outside of my comfort zone

5. I am an early bird! I love getting up to seize a brand new day. I usually get up before Ava and go for a run with my dog. Getting ME time in before its Mom time really helps me be present with Ava too. 

6. Life is messy and no one is perfect! No day is perfect! Give yourself grace, learn from your mistakes, and ask for help all the time (or accept the help!) 

7. We loved it! To be honest I should have gone with the kids size but we did the baby size because Ava LOVES unicorns! The pattern was just too cute! Next time we will size up. The company and customer service is also amazing.

8. Yes! Ava loved her unicorn toothbrush and being able to hold it herself.

9. I haven’t! The only issue we have is that she likes to do everything herself! Ms Independent! I try to take over a few times a week to make sure we are getting all the way in the back.

10. The circular handle for the baby brush is brilliant! The patterns and designs! And again just how friendly and amazing the company / customer service is.

11. Thank you for being such an amazing company that cares so much about your customers!!!!

1. Please introduce yourself and your family! 
Hello! My name is Sam, and I have two children, Lennon and Crew!
​Lennon is two and Crew just recently turned one. 
 
2. Where do you call home and what's your neighborhood like?
I live just a little south of St Louis! We just recently moved, but so far our new neighborhood seems quiet but friendly. We really like it! 
 
3. How are you spending time with your kids these days? Would you like to share your (their) favorite activities?
We try to do lots of arts and crafts and also go outside as much as possible!
We’ve recently started bike riding and got a bike trailer to pull the kids behind us, and they love it! 
 
4. Is there a creative or challenging project you're currently working on? If so, what inspired you to start this process? 
I am working on renovating a camper right now! I’ve always wanted to do it, so I just went for it!
I get my inspiration from pinterest but I have a lot of my own ideas too! 
 
5. Could you tell us what motivates you to get up every morning? (Besides coffee!)
Definitely my kids and my family/friends! 
 
6. Do you have any advice for other moms out there to get through this tough wave we're riding together? 
It’s a difficult time, but things will get better!! It makes you really look at the little things that we sometimes take for granted! 
 
7. What was your experience like using a HAMICO toothbrush? Feel free to be honest lol :) 
We love HAMICO toothbrushes! The bristles are so soft and the designs make my kids love them! 
 
8. Did your kids enjoy using BABY HAMICO and did they continue to use it?
Yes! The baby toothbrush was so much easier for my kids to grip.
Even my two year old prefered the baby toothbrush even though she could hold a kids one just fine. 
 
9. Have you ever struggled with brushing your baby's teeth? If so, do you mind sharing about it? 
Yes! Sometimes they just simply don’t want you helping them and lets be honest, they don’t do the greatest job by themselves! Making a game out of it is how I get them to cooperate with me!
 
10. What are your favorite BABY HAMICO features? 
I love how soft the bristles are and how many designs are offered! Every design is so cute!
 
11. Anything else you want to share with HAMICO customers? 
If you’ve been on the fence about trying one, you should definitely give it a try!
My family loves HAMICO!

​We connected with the amazing Jennifer Hunter, the founder of  Jennifer Hunter Design, a boutique residential interior design firm based in New York City. Her work can be described as "glamorous and eclectic, yet relaxed." She has recently launched the Spring 2020 Collection of her offshoot brand, a hairpiece collection inspired by interior design textiles. She will be donating all proceeds to Mount Sinai to help purchase PPE for front-liners. Yes, she managed to do all of this in the middle of a pandemic! 
She shared with us how she navigates her life as a working mom while prioritizing her family time and setting an example for her two girls. We've also asked her to kindly share how we could together cope with the current situation of the world as well as her advice for her other fellow moms. 
And of course....her experience with HAMICO 💛

Please read on to learn more about Jennifer and her family below!
​
 1. Please introduce yourself and your family! 
Hi, I am Jennifer Hunter! I am a mom to two little girls, Hadley and Elle, and an interior designer based in New York City.

 2. Where do you call home and what's your neighborhood like?
We live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.  We love it up here as there are a lot of young families and our go-to neighborhood jaunts, but the best part is the proximity to Central Park.

 3. How are you spending time with your kids these days? Would you like to share your (their) favorite activities?
Keeping them busy in close quarters isn't the easiest, but we have been baking, crafting, and taking walks to Central Park.

 4. Is there a creative or challenging project you're currently working on? If so, what inspired you to start this process? 
I am currently working on an offshoot of Jennifer Hunter Design, which is a hair collection based on and inspired by interior design textiles.  I just launched my spring collection in the middle of the pandemic and decided to donate proceeds to Mount Sinai to help purchase PEE for frontliners.

 5. Could you tell us what motivates you to get up every morning? (Besides coffee!)
Well I am usually woken up before the sun even rises by my girls.  Their energy and determination definitely motivates.  I want to set a good example of a working mama!

 6. Do you have any advice for other moms out there to get through this tough wave we're riding together? 
Just try and take it day by day; if you try to look at the bigger picture it can be super overwhelming.  We are all in the same boat and I stand in solidarity with any mom out there who has moments of frustration.  I'm trying to find the silver lining in this and think of the quality time we get to spend as a family.  If I was at work I wouldn't get to see my children reach certain milestones.  There will probably never be another time in our lives quite like this.

 7. What was your experience like using a HAMICO toothbrush? Feel free to be honest lol :) 
We love HAMICO! Not only are the designs super cute, but the ergonomics are awesome.  My 10 month old is able to grab the ring part easily while we guide brushing her 2 little teeth!

 8. Did your kids enjoy using BABY HAMICO and did they continue to use it?
Yes, sure did!  My toddler actually asks to brush her teeth everyday since using HAMICO!

 9. Have you ever struggled with brushing your baby's teeth? If so, do you mind sharing about it? 
Yes we have and do.  My toddler likes being independent so she wants to brush her own teeth, which isn't very effective.  We usually try to go in for a few seconds after she does and re-brush.  

 10. What are your favorite BABY HAMICO features?
The adorable patterns and shapes of the toothbrushes.

 11. Anything else you want to share with HAMICO customers?
Love how  HAMICO toothbrushes are designed specifically for the baby’s stage in their developmental process--genius!
