Hi Everyone! We’re taking a break from writing today to enjoy the holiday at the pool! Hope you all have a wonderful, long, fun filled weekend in the sun! We’ll be back on Monday with yet another fabulous giveaway and we’ll pick the winner of the MoBoleez giveaway!
Luxurious! Only one word comes to mind as I try to express the absolute beauty of the a b sea clothing line!
a b sea turns silk blended fabrics into manageable, precious clothing for the little ones! Founder and co-founder, {daugther and mother duo} Alexis and Rene, took their love of the beach and the sea and created “luxurious” {I will use this word over and over again on this feature} wearable “sand-castle” clothing. With their sand-castle logo on the back and adorable embroidered designs on the front, these outfits will wrap baby in the finest, most comfortable {natural, organic} material, and please mommy with no dry cleaning care!
The pictures do not do this clothing line justice! I was in awe when I first opened the package we received from a b sea. Again, beyond luxurious, beyond adorable, but so completely wearable! These clothes are perfect for anything from professional photo shoots to nap time! If you are looking for that one piece of clothing or outfit for your child’s wardrobe to cherish and pass down from child to child, look no further!
Enjoy 10% off your entire order at a b sea with the code LUXE, expires August 1st.

A messy kitchen is a fun kitchen! My children create some of their best master pieces in the kitchen, and not just with food! Between painting and crafts, Playdoh and art sands, their activities can turn the kitchen table into a disaster zone! My floors and table cloths may be ruined but their clothes remain clean thanks to one brilliant and mess-free product!
Bella Tunno offers some of the best creative and fresh products for babies and kids! The favorite in our house right now is the Wonder Boy Smock. Our 6 yr old of course uses it for baking his personal pizzas or helping crack the eggs for mom’s tasty zucchini cake. But it’s the best when used to cover his clothes while he shows off his artistic skills! {He’s also used it to keep himself dry while he washes the dishes, WASHES THE DISHES…how excited am I that he wants to wash the dishes!} These smocks are laminated, so easy to wipe down for small messes or completely washable for the bigger messes. The two large pockets in the front are perfect for holding anything from utensils to paint brushes or for catching more mess!
More creative products from Bella Tunno range from bibs and burpies, binkers and butties, Diaper Ditties and Designer Diner chalk mats. All made from fabulously modern fabric designs, no boring colors or patterns here! Best of all, Bella Tunno donates a portion of every sale to a charitable causes!
Babyluxe readers can take 20% of their purchases at Bella Tunno with the code babyluxe20.
You may already know that Sarah and I are diaper bag {or just bag/tote/purse in general} junkies. I believe it’s our “unspoken” goal in life to find as many fabulous bags as we can, to share with every mom we can find! These next bags are the perfect mix of modern style and practical, functional usage for any hip mom.
I am in love with my “The Minneapolis” diaper bag from Zosephine! The look of these bags is different {in a good way} from other diaper bags out there. It’s feminine but not cutesy, trendy but not over the top; just enough space and essentials that every diaper bag needs without sacrificing style. Each bag comes with a nylon changing pad, plenty of pockets {bottle pockets on both sides, a cell phone pocket in the front…which is awesome, and many more}, and enough room for diapers, wipes, clothes, etc… {I personally can fit everything for my 2 yr old and infant in one bag now without looking like I’m carrying around a suitcase!}
We are thrilled to be able to host a giveaway of “The St. Paul” Zosephine diaper bag {the actual picture above}, a $116 value! Just comment back to us with what feature you love most on any of the Zosephine bags. Contest ends July 8th. Good luck to all!
OR if you can’t wait and don’t feel lucky, buy your own now and take 15% off with the code Babyluxe.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that our comments feature is now working properly. You may go ahead and comment on our current giveaways: MoBoleez & Bumkins. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Two MORE great products from our beloved Bumkins!
This is not your mother’s way of cloth diapering!
As a newbie to the cloth diapering world, I was in awe at all the different types, styles, and accessories that go along with the cloth diapering start up. Luckily, Bumkins All-In-One diapers came my way and saved me from “testing” all the others to find the perfect match for little Aidan.
One word to explain Bumkins All-In-One diapers: simple. The easiest cloth diaper on the market by far! Super absorbent, 100% cotton, with a waterproof exterior in some of the most amazing designs…fashionable style with diapers, how precious! No more plain white diapers here! {Needless to say my mother and mother-in-law will be amazed by these!}
If All-In-Ones are not for you, Bumkins has plenty of other choices for your cloth diapering needs so go check them out!
If that’s not enough incentive to check them out, maybe this will be!
Bumkins has recently introduced the new Grande Diaper Bag; today’s parents answer to the need of function and fashion. With contemporary prints, reinforced straps & water resistant fabric, this is one bag that will keep on giving, long after your diapering days are over.
And lucky for you, Bumkins is generously giving away one of their Grande Diaper Bags, chock FULL of baby essentials from their new organic Natural Collection! A $120 value, here’s what comes in the bag { winner’s choice of boy or girl } :
To win, as usual, simply leave a comment on this post, about all of the new “natural” parenting options that Bumkins has provided it’s customers with. This contest will run for two weeks, due to the amount of vacationers & offline regulars we’ll have this week. It will end on Sunday, July 13th.
Now a days it is necessary to be discreet while breast feeding in public or even at home. {Since visitors could be stopping by at anytime OR if you have very nosy little ones like I do}. It is so fun to see the designs and products that are invented to help mom and baby “conceal” yet still enjoy the nursing experience no matter where you are. From slings to cover-ups, shawls to blankets, and most adorable yet, Hats!
Founder of MoBoleez, Diane Sam, is a mother with a passion for breast feeding. Her playful, fun nursing hats are designed to celebrate the act of breast feeding, with a hint of privacy! Anyone passing by will get a kick out of the illustrations on the top of these bonnets such as”Mmmmm or Milky Way or Cafe Au Lait” and mommy gets her own little message with every peek at baby with special sayings under the brim, “Hi mummy”. Too darn cute!
MoBoleez is one of those unique products you can’t help but want to try out or see in person! I know I say this often, but again, what a fabulous shower gift this would make! Any new nursing mother would get such a thrill out of this product. Diane and her company also donate 10% of all profits to the Children’s Miracle Network, so buy a gift and make a contribution all at once! {Please read Diane’s memoir while you are on their site, the inspiration behind her charitable giving heart}.
Babyluxe {daily} readers can enjoy 10% off their purchases at MoBoleez with the code babyluxe.
OR, try your luck at winning one of these special hats! We have a Pink MoBoleez bonnet to giveaway to one lucky reader. Just check out their site and comment back to us which”top of the hat” illustration is your favorite. Good luck to all!! Contest ends once we’re back after the July 4th holiday!
Soothing an infant can be one of the hardest things for new parents to adjust too. Are they hungry, dirty diaper, are they hot, cold, sick, gas, etc… A mother’s touch is definitely #1 in the soothing category, #2 for mine and Sarah’s babies, and most all infants is swaddling!
Now don’t get me wrong, those “free” swaddle blankets the hospital gives you are great, but they are thick and hot, no where near soft, and they are far from pretty! Solana Swaddle Wraps are the perfect swaddling blankets! 100% lightweight cotton, large enough to grow with your baby, thin enough to be breathable, with a nice “stretch” to keep baby nice and snug. And for mom, some cute luxe designs.
Choose from boy, girl, or gender neutral designs, or some fabulous organic designs. We were lucky to receive the “Pure Hugs” Stretch Organic Wrap, which we absolutely love! For 3 weeks now we have washed our Solana Swaddle Wrap every single night {we have a spit-up machine for a baby}. It still looks brand new, didn’t shrink or pill up. Best of all, it soothes Aidan and he SLEEPS comfortably…{if only for a few hours here and there}.
“Physicians Recommend Lightweight Wraps to Help Prevent Overheating and SIDS”. The Solana Swaddle Wraps are the only baby blankets on the market that conform to these physicians recommendations. Theresa and Sunny, the visions behind Solana Swaddle Wraps, did their research when designing their product. And as moms, they knew best at what calms and soothes babies. Their outcome: such a wonderful, safe product you will feel completely comfortable using on your littlest treasure!

Kidluxe Edition
Kids lose everything! It’s a known fact! I’ve seen the lost and found at the pool and at school, {there’s some nice stuff in there}, and about 80% of it is not marked or labeled. All the money we spend every year on clothes, bags, sports equipment, etc…I’ve decided {with the help from this feature} to label EVERYTHING my kids own!
First thing to label, all our bags. Backpacks, baseball balls, pool bags, overnight bags, diaper bags, how could one family have so many bags? With Mabel’s Labels Bag Tags my son will never again bring home the wrong baseball bag {3 boys on the team have he same bag of course}. So if your child’s backpack ends up in the lost and found, and if it’s the same SpiderMan or pink paisley bag as many other children have, his/hers will be “tagged” and not lost forever! Mabel’s Labels Bag Tags are extremely durable and will transfer from bag to bag; since you know you’ll be buying a new school bag every year, styles and tastes change Mom! These are great for adults too; tag your luggage or briefcase. I seriously want one for every bag in our house!
Secondly, clothing and accessories! Now, I will not be labeling every piece of clothing my kids own, but for those important and expensive items: coats, swim shorts {and towels}, uniforms, hats, etc… Mabel’s Labels offers Iron-ons, Tag-mates, and Shoe Labels for all your clothing labeling needs! All these labels resist the wear and tear associated with washing, drying, and wearing.
Third, and so on…seriously, Mabel’s Labels has possibly every thing you need to organize your children, your home, and yourself. Cord Control, Canister Labels, Curbside {never mix up your trash can and recycle bins with your neighbors again}, Bin Labels, Allergy Alerts, etc… I could go on and on, you’ll need to check out their site for yourself! Mabel’s Labels has so much to offer. It’s so hot outside, stay in and label away!
Where was this product years ago when I was changing my oldest on the bathroom floor at a car dealership while he was lying on my sweater?? I had an enormous diaper bag around my neck but did I have a changing pad or blanket in there? Nope! {I was young, lucky I even remembered the bag, even if it didn’t contain all the essentials.} Now that I’m on baby #3 and acquired this must have luxury item, never again will their darling little “Tushys” touch a bathroom floor or public changing table!
TushyGear On The Road by Emily Sandberg is nothing short of a fabulous creation! These hand sewn, washable, super soft and super chic “totes” are the perfect solution when you don’t need to carry a diaper bag or your purse is too small. It’s your changing pad, wipes, and diaper “gear” all in one! Emily’s designs are unique; the product itself clever; picture yourself carrying TushyGear to the mall, baby will be so happy you did!
Use TushyGear at home too! We use our On The Road at the “changing station” in the living room {couch or arm chair, whichever is available}. Or change out your plain white changing table cover for a soft and fashionable TushyGear At Home cover. Also available, beautiful blankets and burp cloths made from the same exciting fabrics!
Take a generous 20% off your purchase at TushyGear with the code ESD2.
