My son Adrian (Baby Deedee) was born in 2008. It was love at first sight! An active, healthy little baby boy… but boy was it a challenge to get him to sleep.

My instinct told me that if he felt cozy and secure, he would sleep better. His nursery was a little cooler than the rest of the house so I envisioned a sleeping bag in a cocoon-like shape, with a soft cotton exterior and filled with light, breathable, plush duvet quilting. After all, if Mommy and Daddy felt more comfortable sleeping in a duvet, surely Baby Deedee would too.

I couldn’t find any comfy, well-designed versions that matched my vision, so I designed my own. 9 months later, baby deedee sleep nests were born!  For those nights when Baby Deedee and more recently, Mateo & Juliette, fell asleep in my arms, the shoulder snap design made it easy to slip them in the sleeper nest, without waking them.

The original sleep nest sleeping bag was followed by the lighter weight sleep nest and then a whole family of award winning and trusted sleepwear and now outerwear!

I hope that the baby deedee line will become part of your children’s sleep time routine as it has for us!

Making a decision to become a J.Hilburn Stylist in 2011 changed my life! Though, when I made the leap of faith to leave Corporate America (and 2 Fortune 500 companies) to become a J.Hilburn Personal Stylist, I didn’t really think it would be something I would be doing for the long haul.

Well, here I am almost 9 years later doing a job I love – helping men feel great about the way they look, while at the same time, helping my team be successful J.Hilburn Personal Stylists. This j-o-b does not feel like a job at all. In fact, it has become a passion of mine – to be the best I can be, while helping others do the same.

My clients love the quality of J.Hilburn products and our custom fit services. I love being my own boss and working my job around my busy life, rather than the other way around. And, the J.Hilburn digital platform enables me and my team to work virtually with clients and continue to grow our businesses – even throughout a pandemic!

The J.Hilburn Personal Stylist opportunity is made for today’s “new normal” and for busy moms that need maximum flexibility. I’m looking forward to sharing this amazing opportunity with you!

Caiti Courtier is a former Health and Physical Education Teacher with a Masters of Education turned Parent Sex Ed Coach and founder of The Parent Sex Ed Blueprint. After substitute teaching in both Australia and America she saw patterns emerge with similar questions the student’s would ask, their desperate need to have accurate and open conversations about sex education became a pattern. She worked teaching sexual health education sessions to teachers and health professionals and it became clear that they were not having conversations around sex ed because they did not feel prepared to. Realizing she would only be able to teach a small number of students each year, she decided to shift her focus to teaching parents because they are a constant source in their children’s lives to impart information to them. She takes a modern day approach to sex education using a holistic, self esteem building and mental health awareness model. Her mission is to help guide parents in developing confidence and share awareness that talking about sex ed is much more than we have been led to believe. The Parent Sex Ed Blueprint offers self-paced courses for parents to learn when to talk, what to talk about and how to talk.
