The styles all speak to todays hip and fashionable women without being over the top or impractical.

As women, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders while still trying to look chic and feel organized.

Thrust into motherhood, she experienced culture shock. She immediately went from fashion forward to frantic.
Everywhere she went she was accompanied by bottles, blankets and diapers (always x 2). Yet no matter how hard Wendy looked, she found vinyl bunnies and boring black bags. Where was the fashionable yet functional accessory she wanted? Recognizing a need for a practical bag that allowed Wendy to express her sense of style, she developed the plan for JP Lizzy a name she chose based on the very inspiration for her company John Patrick and Emma Elizabeth.
Wendy knew that all moms go through changes and challenges, and a bag that helped them hang on to their fashion sense while still remaining functional for their baby-toting needs could make all the difference. Today, the JP Lizzy (www.jplizzy.com) product mix includes diaper bags, messenger bags, backpacks, and purses.
All of the products in this affordable ($42- $94) collection were created by a mom for a mom and have great features like wipeable fabrics, changing pads, and makeup bags included in some designs. The JP Lizzy collection blends classic elements with modern flare for a fun and feminine look to match every style and taste.

Tote Couture
Handbags, purses, totes, clutches, shoulder bags ? I don't care what you call them, I love them all. I am a handbag addict. I have them in a countless array of styles and colors. Trends come and go, but "tote couture" remains. True handbag fashion is timeless.
It is not about seasonal fads, but about creating a personal style and reflecting your good taste.
A good purse will last not only for this season, but also for years to come.
This means investing in quality bags, taking care of your purses and totes, and shopping for styles that work best for you.Here are a few simple rules:The Person-To-Bag RatioDo not carry a bag that overwhelms your body size. Petite women should not be lugging around oversized bags that slap their thighs because they hang too low from the shoulder. Not only does it look bad, but can be harmful to your lower back if your bag is too big and too heavy for your frame.
Conversely, tall women look silly with a wrist purse.

Her self-employed father built houses for a living.
Being raised by two self-employed parents fostered a caring bond she wanted for her own family.
Hudson left the real estate/mortgage industry to stay home with her two daughters.
"My dad built houses and I decided to create hand-made treasures to transform a house into a home," she declared.
One evening her daughter was playing a "let's make up silly words" game and called her father a "strawberry?potato."
He responded "You're a Taterberry!"
The name for Hudson's home business was born.
In June 2004, Hudson opened Taterberry Cottage to showcase traditional children's clothing by Alex & Ari and Lucy Pearl.
"The apparel is reminiscent of heirlooms one might find in grandma's attic," states Hudson.
In addition to the romantic feel of such pieces, Hudson wanted...
