Welcome to Fizzabella.com!

Summer has arrived and it seems only appropriate to pick up a good book and head outdoors to enjoy the beautiful weather. We spend quite a bit of time frequenting our local libraries with the multitude of story times they offer. It is a perfect place to kick back with the other mamas (and papas) and let the kids get transported in to new places through books, song and dance. Our library system also has a Summer Reading Program that offers prizes as the little ones meet their reading quotas, which is always a nice incentive. Here are some of our favorites.

I love looking through baby name books. I especially love rare and unique names and the challenge of providing my child(ren) with a modern name, that is both timeless and traditional at the same time. There are so many variables when choosing a name for your child, such as gender, ethnicity, background, religion, etc. When I name my slings, I try to choose names that I find appropriate to the personality of that specific sling. I wanted to share my top 25 names for both sexes along with their country of origin and meaning. I didn’t intentionally pick mostly Irish names…..but I am of Irish descent so I suppose it is only natural.

We’re glad you popped in. We’re totally thrilled to be up and running, FINALLY!
Fizzabella™ Baby Accessories is the result of a hard-working mother named, Michelle Kanaly. After having her first child, Fiona Isabella, she bought her first baby sling and fell in love with the freedom and control it gave her while keeping her baby close and warm. Being an artist and designer, she took this concept and expanded on it, adding her own eclectic personality. She puts tons of love and a lot of time into her designs, utilizing a beautiful array of fabrics. From vintage to mod, she likes to stay diverse, appealing to all Mommies, no matter their style. With the unique design of the Fizzabella slings, we’ve merged the sling, the diaper bag and the purse, giving you the freedom of easy access to everything you need to take with you. Say good-bye to your days as a Himalayan Sherpa. Now, we just need to figure out where to put our Double Mocha, Low Fat, Iced Frappuccino!
