the mommy avenger

Every year, as soon as the air turns crisp and the first leaf hits the ground, I start thinking about traditions — the kind that sneak up on you and suddenly mean everything. For my family, that was matching holiday pajamas, hot cocoa on the couch, and a mad dash to take the perfect photo before someone spills something.

This year, that tradition just got an upgrade — and it’s one that actually gives back, too.

A Holiday Collab That Hits Different

Beloved children’s brand Little Sleepies just teamed up with Shutterfly, the go-to for all things personalized, to launch a brand-new collection of matching pajamas, holiday cards, and ornaments — and every bit of it supports Baby2Baby, a national nonprofit that provides critical items like diapers, clothing, and other essentials to more than a million children each year.

You know I love a good family photo moment, but this collab goes beyond cute matching prints — it’s about connection, purpose, and creating memories that actually matter.

Starting today, this limited-time collection brings together everything that makes the holidays feel like, well, the holidays: cozy PJs, meaningful gifts, and those heartfelt little touches that remind us what this season is really about.

All the Prints, All the Feels

This collection takes Little Sleepies’ best-selling holiday prints and builds on them in the most magical way. We’re talking:

• Tree Traffic — that cozy, nostalgic drive home with the perfect Christmas tree strapped to the roof.
• Cookies for Santa — all the Christmas Eve magic: cookies, milk, and kids trying to stay up just five more minutes.
• Hanukkah Fair Isle — menorahs, dreidels, and Stars of David in a joyful twist on a classic pattern.
• Merry Mints — candy canes, snowflakes, holly, and the kind of cheer that smells like peppermint and cinnamon.
• Nutcracker Ballet — pure holiday wonder, like stepping straight into the storybook.
• Festive Fair Isle — bright, colorful, and timeless.
• Twinkling Trees — joyful, whimsical, and just begging to be the backdrop of your family card.

Each print comes to life across matching jammies, holiday cards, and ornaments — so your photos, keepsakes, and gifts all tell the same story: one of togetherness.

Giving Back (and Looking Cute Doing It)

Here’s the part I love most: this collaboration isn’t just about creating memories — it’s about helping others make theirs, too.

Shutterfly is donating $50,000 to Baby2Baby, and together with Little Sleepies, they’re aiming to raise another $20,000 through a social challenge and sweepstakes. It’s a chance for families everywhere to join in, share their own stories, and spread that message of connection and giving.

The Heart of It All

At the end of the day, it’s not really about matching pajamas or picture-perfect cards — it’s about those little moments that turn into forever memories. The laughter before the camera timer goes off. The way your kid insists on wearing their Christmas jammies well into January. The way a single ornament can bring back an entire year in one glance.

That’s what this collab captures — and it’s why it belongs right in the middle of your holiday season.

So grab the matching PJs, pick your favorite print, and make this year’s photo the one that actually feels like you.

Because the best traditions aren’t just made — they’re worn, shared, and passed down.
