Special 2 day feature as we’re taking Friday off for a long weekend before school starts!

It is my absolute pleasure to promote and feature this brilliant shop as we all know and love the owner! Our beloved Babyluxe founder, Sarah Masci, is a busy little bee with not just Babyluxe but also a career, a family, a LIFE, and with Paperluxe Studio!

It seems like every time I turn around, there’s another shower to be thrown, more thank you cards to write, birthday parties to plan and attend; having a large family and extra large friend base makes for never a dull weekend! Paperluxe Studio has been a part of every special event in my life for the past few months, and every purchase made with Sarah has been custom made and super perfect! For example, instead of making out a zillion boring thank you cards or buying a birthday card for every gift given, {seriously, we’ve had 6 gifts and parties in the last 2 weeks and just received 2 more invites}…needless to say buying a card each time can get expensive, why not purchase Family Stationery from Paperluxe Studio. Write a little note to the gift recipient or a thank you for the housewarming/birthday/baby gift on beautiful note cards personalized for your family.

This precious stationery is my favorite!

{Thumbprint Vignette}

What Paperluxe Studio is best known for is its personalized stationery favors. For the next bridal or baby shower you host, why not give a favor that is practical and usable, yet gorgeous and chic! Sarah will work with you to design a favor that goes along with any theme you have {or pick a design from her ever growing portfolio}, for as many attendees you have. Each guest will receive a favor they will actually love! Trust me, soaps shaped like hearts or dinner mints wrapped in tulle are quite boring.

You can also be quite a hit at your child’s next birthday party too! Let Paperluxe Studio design your next party invitation! Don’t forget to get matching stationery for thank you cards! For older children, especially girls, give stationery favors. And what about giving a set of personalized note cards for gifts? How about teacher or nanny gifts, think Birthdays or Christmas…it’s right around the corner!

Endless designs, endless options, be creative with your next event! Get your invitations, your thank you cards, your favors all at one place!

Announcements too!

Want to see this beautiful stationery in person? TRY YOUR LUCK AT WINNING SOME! Comment back to us by August 21st what you love the most about Sarah’s business Paperluxe Studio…the favors, the invites, the thumbprint vignette {my favorite}, a specific design, etc…, for your chance to win a set of 24 personalized note cards. Good luck!

Las Vegas! Not a place you think we would promote on a baby website site right? WRONG! Las Vegas is actually very much a place to take the whole family; {sure it’s more fun to go with the girls for a bachlorette party weekend} but now that we are all moms, vacations must include everyone and we must take our vacations where everyone will enjoy themselves. NineBlue Travel Guides is here to help make your next family vacation a success!

NineBlue’s eBook is exactly what you need to make Las Vegas a memorable experience for the entire family. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents, there’s something for everyone to partake in! From family friendly hotels and attractions, the best shows and dining for families {discounted or free meals for children}, and advice on how to get around the “Strip” with kids, it’s all there in the NineBlue Las Vegas Travel Guide. With this guide at your hands, you’ll be sure to stay clear of any inappropriate activity and events.

Let me share two points of view for you on Las Vegas for families and whether or not this guide can help. Coming from me, someone who has never traveled to Las Vegas before, I can honestly say I never considered bringing my children there. I always thought it would be a 20th, 25th, so on, anniversary trip for my husband and I once the kids were older and gone. But as I read through this guide, I realized that a trip to Las Vegas with the kids would be like any other trip with the kids. Wherever you go with children, rules must be followed to ensure safety, cultures are always different and need to be respected, and negative areas and influence are always around. As long as you and your family are aware of your surroundings and plan accordingly, any trip can be a memorable one! NineBlue does a very thorough job acting basically as your family friendly travel agent, in paper form. Over 70 pages dedicated to giving you the insight to all Las Vegas has to offer; it’s not all gambling and adult venues like I always thought it was. There’s museums, circuses, aquariums, arcades, and cinemas. Fabulous hotels with child care services and child friendly activities. Way not eat at the Cheesecake Factory, what kid doesn’t love a big old piece of Oreo Cheesecake while on vacation!

Our friend Jennifer gives us another point of view as someone who has traveled there will her children just recently: “I have been to Vegas several times and I think this guide from NineBlue is great for families. I know there are plenty of things for families to do there but no one seems to know about them. Everybody thinks that Vegas is only for adults. That was the case in previous years when we were growing up. But now the hotels are awesome for everyone! I have taken my kids every time we’ve gone in the last several years. And I would definitely recommend this travel guide!”

Sample this guide yourself on the NineBlue website. Let them assist you in everything from packing to eating, from where to stay to where to play {with the kids that is!}

NineBlue offers family travel guides for destinations all over the world! Pick up a copy for your next vacation, maybe Vegas?!

Only two more weeks until school starts back up here in Charlotte; summer sure flew by! Now it’s time for the mad dash to buy everything a first grader needs: school clothes, a new back pack, lunch bag, and EVERYTHING on the classroom supply list {which this year seems incredibly long}. Cross two things off our back to school list thanks to Oompa Toys!

Bet you didn’t know that one of your all time favorite toy stores had a Back To School section? And a very trendy, “cool” Back To School section at that! Oompa Toys has the best wooden toy selection AND, also, backpacks, lunch bags, art supplies, pencil cases, desks, etc… We received the, from what my son exclaimed with glee, “Bestest Bag Ever”; the Allerhand Ergo Mini backpack {pictured below}, which has not left my son’s back since it arrived! Take your pick from all the great brands, Allerhand, Crocodile Creek, Sigikid, Dante Beatrix, and more.

To go along with the perfect backpack, the perfect lunch bag of course! And again, Oompa Toys has plenty to choose from. The Fleurville Kid’s Lunch Pack was our pick for this year’s lunch bag; this specific lunch bag can either be thrown in a backpack OR worn as a backpack itself. This will definitely be used outside of school…I think camping this Fall! I may just get one to take to the office with me, it’s so spacious!

Already bought your child’s back pack and lunch bag? Trust me, you can find something else they need for back to school at Oompa Toys. If your child is going to Kindergarten or Preschool, how about adding a “school” touch to the play room with a new desk or art supplies for when they are home? They will need somewhere to do their “homework” right?

Okay fine, so you just have babies at home, stick with the TOYS! Toys, toys, and more fantastic toys!

The best part of Oompa Toys, this fabulous giveaway!! Winners pick of a backpack/lunch bag combo! Just comment back to us which backpack and lunch bag you would pick {and feel free to let us know what else you love on their site} by August 18th. Good luck!

Everything now a days is either organic, Green, or ergonomic and we at Babyluxe enjoy keeping up with the modern, better for you products. Today, organic and ergonomic; an organic baby carrier, made with comfort and safety in mind. Little Aidan’s all time favorite way to travel!

Seth and Mark, designers of the Belle Baby Carriers, converted their knowledge of rock climbing safety gear into a safe, functional, modern designed carrier. Made of 100% organic cotton and hemp material, environmentally friendly dyes, Environmental Resin waist belt ring pad, and recyclable packing; this product is making headlines all over the country! It has personally made our 10 week old happy as a clam! I never have to worry about him fussing in public again! He falls right to sleep in his Belle Baby Carrier! It’s comfortable for him and me, beyond comfortable for him I would say since NOTHING puts him to sleep like this carrier!

The comfort of this carrier is simple, it distributes baby’s weight to your hips instead of your back and shoulders. For a younger infant, the waist belt can be adjusted to carry baby lower, a perfect sleeping position for them. As baby grows and can hold his head up, this carrier is also made for the forward facing position. And a “luxe” favorite: chic and hip designs and colors! Including two new Fall styles, Cherry Deco and Organic Denim.

Try one for yourself or buy one for a gift! Babyluxe readers take 20% off their purchase of a Belle Baby Carrier with the code mommies.

I, guess, I’m happy to say, this is my first time with a”paci baby”. My 2 older boys never wanted or took to the pacifier. Aidan, on the other hand, is quite attached to his “niba niba” {what my 20 year old brother use to call his} or “binky” or “paci”, whatever you want to call it, and it’s been a blessing in our home this time around. I know there are many pros and cons to the pacifier these days, my only con right now…misplacing it!

So extremely happy to receive the Bebe Belay, the most versatile baby accessory on the market! We use ours as the ever so important paci holder, clipped right to our ever so important swaddle blanket, both needed if we ever want to sleep again! The multi functional design of Bebe Belay grows with your child and your family. Start using it like we do, as a pacifier holder. Once paci is gone, throw it in your purse to use at the restaurant for a perfect instant bib. Once baby starts to acquire all those must have shoes, and gloves, and slippers, anything that comes in a pair, use Bebe Belay as a connector clip to keep the 2 items together.

Consumers of Bebe Belay have come up with plenty of uses for this fabulous little product in addition to the above, it has also been used to clip baby’s hat to his shirt so it does not blow away in the wind; also to clip the top and bottom of a bathing suit over the shower rod to dry. I have also used mine to clip and hang a plush rattle from Aidan’s car seat handle and activity mat for more eye stimulation for him, as he gets bored easily with his other hanging toys. So many uses out of one small item, how perfect is that!

It’s adjustable, sturdy, versatile, fashionable, and affordable, What more could you ask for! How about a giveaway!!
April, owner and creator of Bebe Belay, has been extremely generous to offer a giveaway of 3 Bebe Belays! Check out her site and let us know 2 things: the color design you would pick if you win one AND, be creative, come up with another use for the Bebe Belay, what would you use it for. Contest ends August 14th.

Check out their super cool, retro lunch boxes, by EmTanner Designs which come in a plethora of colors & designs.  Personalize it with your child’s name or monogram, or even a fun saying.  Each lunch box is custom made to order, so get it any way you want it!

The Silly Wagon is offering 15% your entire order, with the code “funkyme”.  Just enter it at checkout!

Enjoy.

I am a HUGE fan of personalized keepsakes; especially ones that can be displayed instead of shoved in a box in the closet. How sweet to have baby’s birth info {or name or growth history}, hung beautifully in their room to share with everyone who enters! Little Painted Polka Dots can help make your child’s room a special, yet fun and extremely adorable space to call their own.

Birth Plaques from Little Painted Polka Dots are the best way to display, in childish fashion, that ever so special information. Hang them above the crib or on the bedroom door, a personalized symbol of how important that day was.

Every nursery or child’s room should have some form of “art work” containing their name or initials. It adds character to the room and Little Painted Polka Dots can custom design the Name Plaques individually for each child’s personality or themed room. Planes, trains, bugs, or flowers, whatever your little man or lady wants!

Got a play room to decorate? How fun are these!

Lisa, owner of Little Painted Polka Dots, creates each order personally; expressing her passion for art through each and every creation she designs! Let her create something for you or your little one! Growth charts, monogram plaques, Posh parent wall art, canvas art, etc… etc… So much to pick from!!

MamaLuxe Edition

For many of you reading this blog, I am sure we cover a lot of new products that make you say, “Where was that product when I needed it?” Well, today’s review is one of those products! For all you pregnant ladies & moms of infants, listen up.

As so many of our feature products are, this is another that was born out of necessity. The Lily Pod was created as a stylish way to carry your infant car seat, while easing the strain that we all know it takes on your arm. Simply wrap the Lily Pod around the handle of the car seat, and the unique padding practically eliminates the intensity of the carrying handle on the crook of your arm! If you have ever carried an infant car seat {with the infant in it} for any length of time, then you just know how wonderful this product is!

Made from soft cotton, coordinating designer fabrics & trim, The Lily Pod is as stylish as it is practical! When your baby graduates to a toddler seat, use your Lily Pod wrapped around your seat belt shoulder strap to prevent it from cutting into your neck. You can also use it wrapped around your shopping bag handles to give yourself a more pleasant {and lengthy} shopping experience!

Bring a Lily Pod to your next baby shower, and prepare yourself for some major oohs & ahhs, not to mention “Where did you get that?” from all of the other guests!

The Lily Pod is offering BabyLuxe readers a special treat: 10% off AND free shipping, making them the most inexpensive you’ll find anywhere! Simply enter BABYLUXE at checkout!

 It’s a “baby wearing” world out there!  Everywhere you go you see hip mamas wearing all different styles and types of baby carriers.  I’m in the love with the carriers that are a bit versatile.  For example, can you breast feed and “wear”baby at the same time?  I can now!

With your carrier, can you wear baby in a nursing position, on your hip, facing forward, in the back, tummy to tummy??  You can with My Baby Nest!  This wrapless sling provides 5 carrying positions!  It’s made to evenly distribute baby’s weight for less pressure on mommy’s, or daddy’s, back and more comfortable support for baby.  The Baby Nest Carrier is the only carrier that gives full support to premature and newborn babies.  It’s the most comfortable bonding experience you can have!

Why switch from a regular sling for newborns, to a front carrier once they can hold their heads up, to a hip sling, to a backpack carrier, when you can have it all in one!  I must mention the fantastic material too; stretchy, lightweight, breathable, non-bulky, oh so comfortable!   My Baby Nest has one practical feature after another.  How about a carrying bag for better storage {small enough for the diaper bag}, and of course it’s completely washable!  Don’t sacrifice comfort or endure back pain or listen to baby cry one more minute, this sling is the answer to all your prayers!

My Baby Nest Carriers were honored with iParenting Media Awards 2008 Product Excellence Award
