So, what’s a Neeblink?
Neeblink, Inc.TM is a new company started in 2009 with a vision of providing women with products that simply make their lives easier, more joyous and more beautiful. Neeblink, Inc.TM was founded by a woman who was raised in the Midwest, and is the youngest of nine children. Now, busy raising her own two children near Chicago, IL., she recalls one of her favorite memories of childhood was the nickname her ever joyful and dedicated mother called her nine children… Neeblinks, meaning loved ones.
She, like her mother, believes that joy can, and should be found in everyday things. The simple abundances that make you smile - our loved ones, of course, the beautiful items that make you happy just by looking at them, the special gadget that makes your day run a bit smoother, a warm cookie fresh out of the oven, an adorable piece of clothing you don your child in that makes them look oh so cute!
Since becoming a mother, she has been inspired to start a company that is devoted to finding and designing eye-catching, fun and functional products for women, mothers, and children everywhere. She thought it only fitting that a company seeking out much-loved things be named Neeblink, Inc.TM
Neeblink, Inc.TM brand names include One Trip ToteTM and Baby Mud FlapsTM.
An excerpt of an article from Willa Cline, “How to Find Joy in Small Things”…
You can find joy all around you, if you remember to look. Make the joyous choice when you can. If you have a choice between buying plain paper napkins, or napkins printed with a pretty pattern, which do you choose? You're going to buy them anyway, so why not buy the ones that will give you a little boost when you set the table, a bit of joy?
Keep your loved ones close. Keep photographs around you of the things in your life that bring you joy. Maybe your special memory is of a vacation that you took with your family, or a photograph of your child or a favorite pet. By keeping photos around you, you can have your special memories with you even if the people who helped you create them aren't there.
Treat yourself occasionally. Finding joy means allowing yourself to buy a box of brightly colored markers when they catch your eye in the supermarket, not telling yourself that it's silly to want such a thing. It's picking up that shiny stone that catches your eye on your evening walk and putting it in your pocket, or calling someone that you haven't talked to in a long time and spending a half hour catching up on old times. It means giving yourself permission to be happy, and not beating yourself up too much when you make a mistake.
Finding joy is recognizing that every day is special, and that every moment can hold joy, if we just remember to notice it.
