MamaLuxe Edition

Have I ever mentioned that I love MamaLuxe Editions?? And jewelry? And better yet personalized jewelry??

What a meaningful and special way to show your love for your children, your family, yourself; beautiful custom made jewelry!

Guest Editor Tanya M. has this to say about Becoming Jewelry:

“…even the packaging was beautiful, inside the bag was the most delicate silver chain with a round silver “C” charm and next to it an adorable little gem stone of yellow topaz. The “C” is for my son Caleb born in November, hence the yellow topaz birthstone. It is such a meaningful piece of jewelry! Since I received my Becoming Jewelry, I wear my sweet necklace both to work when I need to dress up and look professional and also when I’m in my jeans and a t-shirt. Either way I love it! If your are a friend, sister, mother, or hubby this is a must gift for a first time mom or a mom of many. She will cherish it forever as will I.”

Not looking for something personalized with names or initials; how about showing off your inner strength instead. Your Faith, your Love, inspire or peace, so many ways to wear strong feelings and beautiful messages.

From charm necklaces, earrings, and bracelets to a special little necklace for children; you can find a piece of simply precious, custom hand crafted jewelry from Becoming Jewelry for whatever you need it for…birthdays, {how fabulous would this be for a Mother’s Day gift}, Christmas, or do you have a little girl heading to Kindergarten for the first time, give her a timeless gift, an initial children’s necklace like the one below!

Becoming Jewelry is offering this fabulous giveaway to our BabyLuxe readers; an “On the Day You Were Born” necklace!!  To be eligible, just comment back to us on what you love about their beautiful site & jewelry by August 25th. Good luck!

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?!

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!

The search for the perfect stroller can be a grueling one {to me it’s about the same as car shopping}; especially a double stroller! Seems the more children you have, the harder it is to go out of the house {obviously}. So, either you never leave home, or you invest time and money into finding the perfect stroller for your family’s needs. Tots on the Go is there to help and fit your family into the stroller of your dreams!

I mentioned car shopping for a reason. You look for similar features between a stroller and a car: size {small or large family, single or double stroller vs. compact car or Mini Van}, safety features, maneuverability, accessories, modern style, price, etc… My point: you may use your stroller just as much or more as your car {now a days especially with gas prices so high} so take the time to pick the right one for your growing family. Tots on the Go has plenty to choose from, today’s Babyluxe pick:

The Valco Baby Twin Latitude Stroller.

Whether it’s the fully reclining seats for baby, the adjustable height handle bar for hubby, or the generous amount of storage space underneath for mommy, my family has enjoyed every aspect of this remarkable stroller. Tots on the Go states this is “the perfect go-to stroller for our parents on-the-go”! That is a perfect statement for almost all parents who have 2 or more children. The best way to entertain kids is to be “on-the-go” right? Feature after feature, this is one fantastic stroller! It’s a lightweight, narrow, durable, compact-fold double stroller, which is hard to find with a side by side. The easy reclining seats are independent of one another and are compatible with many name brand infant car seats. I love the extra large storage compartment, great for the mall!

I highly recommend this stroller if what you are looking for is an easy to use, easy to maneuver, easy to store, easy on the eyes double stroller! But no worries, if this is not for you, if you only have one child for example, I’m positive Tots on the Go has the stroller you have been looking for; including all your other travel gear needs as well!

 Tots on the Go will give a free Carry You Demi Milan {for a single} with the code BabyLuxeS and the Carry You Sicily {for a twin} with the code BabyLuxeT with your purchase.

{warning, not your typical post}

I posted this review on a Yahoo group that I am on, several weeks ago, and wanted to share it with you all as well! If you are looking for the perfect transition bag, from diaper bag to mommy bag, you must check out Jane Marvel!

Jane Marvel carries a huge assortment of shapes & styles in a ton of amazing fabric choices! Oh, and guess what? They’re AFFORDABLE!

I have the Runaround. It is the perfect bag for me, with a 3 yr old
who is potty trained & a 1 year old, who doesn’t require much. Here’s the scoop, straight up!

The signature white lining, which is on all of the Jane Marvel products, is fabulous! No more digging around in the black hole for your long lost lip gloss. And oh my gosh pockets! My bag has never in my life been more organized than it is now with my Runaround.

{ image of lining }

The big interior pocket has one zippered pocket & I currently carry two size 4 diapers in there along with a Bumkins bib. The bag comes with a clear wet bag, which is where I carry my wipes - they have stayed wet for 5 weeks now. Also in that large main pocket, I have a large wallet, a large cosmetic case & my medium size planner. I can also fit my smaller Canon Powershot as well!

The medium sized front pocket (not the itty bitty zippered one), carries the adorable round matching mirror that came with the bag, my PDA, sunglasses, bulky keys, a few lip glosses, pens, a roll of tums & a couple of other odds n ends. All of these things have their OWN pocket inside that compartment!

The zippered pocket on the front fits a small board book, and another couple of tiny toys - but not much at all.

I have the bag in “plaid flowers” which has the orange trim & I love it. It is waterproof, but not plastic-y looking like many diaper bags are…

This was taken directly from the Jane Marvel web site:

We would like to introduce you to a revolutionary new line of bags.

Why is it revolutionary?

Because we believe it is every woman’s right to have great style and not go broke getting it.

Our products are

lightweight
virtually waterproof
made with environmentally safe coating
leather-free
available in all colorways
appropriately priced

Plus there’s a free gift in every bag…
and each free gift comes in an FAA-approved clear zip pouch for all your travel needs.

Join the revolution: you CAN afford great style.

Though we don’t have a coupon code for Jane Marvel, I simply cannot say enough good things about it, and just had to share it with you all! The prices are so good, you don’t need a coupon!

So you’re having a baby…You’ve got the gear, you’ve decorated the nursery, you’ve chosen to find out or not to find out, you’ve selected the name {s}, & you’ve chosen the perfect take-home outfit.  Done, right?  Simple as that.  Well sure, until it comes time to bring baby home, and you are bombarded by the discharge nurse, with a stack of paperwork & a hundred instructions such as, sign here, fill this out, mail this in {by this date}, call this doctor for this appointment, and on and on and on…

To ease this new baby stress, you need a My Mommy’s Tote!

My Mommy’s Tote is a nifty invention by an organized mom who was frustrated with the excessive paperwork that seemed to follow her new baby girl everywhere they went!  It is similar to a hanging file folder tote, only much more stylish {available in adorable pink/brown or blue/brown color schemes}!  Each My Mommy’s Tote comes with six pre-printed dividers:

“Important Documents” for items such as the birth certificate and social security card

“Emergency Contact Info” is actually a pre-printed card that goes in this slot, which has a space for filling out all of those critical details that you just never know when you’ll need, but that you’ll be glad you have all in one spot!

“Parenting articles and web sites” for holding all of those great tips that you read in your monthly parenting magazines & blogs.  You will definitely find the article on introducing solids to be so important down the road.  Trust me, no one ever seems to be able to give a straight answer when discussing this topic, and it can be so overwhelming for a new parent.

“Medical” because you will be coming home with so much medical paperwork, week after week, month after month, for a good long time!    My son’s medical files were all just crammed into a drawer {until My Mommy’s Tote came along}!

“Receipts” for all of the numerous gift receipts that you will be receiving, the gear that you buy to try out, only to find that it isn’t going to work with your little angel, etc…   I had another whole drawer with baby receipts - not any more!

“Coupons” because now that you are a mommy, you are going to see your monthly expenses start to quadruple….  And you’ll probably find that coupon clipping will give you the financial ability to maintain a semi-regular, much needed, pedicure schedule!

My Mommy’s Tote makes a truly awesome gift for a mom to be, and is sure to be a hit “ooh & ahh” gift at any upcoming baby shower!

BabyLuxe is proud to offer a My Mommy’s Tote giveaway as well as a great discount code!  For 15% off through August 14th, please use code BabyLuxe15 at checkout.  This will take 15% off both the product price as well as shipping!  A great deal!  Or, if you’d rather try your luck this week, simply leave a comment about the product here on BabyLuxe, and you will be entered to win your very own My Mommy’s Tote, in choice of pink or blue!  For a bonus entry, you may do any  of several additional things:

I am by far NOT considered a “crafty” person.  Over the years I have created enough to get by, knitted a few scarfs, put together a few scrap books, but when it comes to sewing and making an actual, presentable, usable product {and actually following a pattern or directions} I’m at a lost!  But I must say, I enjoy trying,  and “I can make it, now…”

 You Can Make This has every ebook imaginable to walk you through {with detailed and easy to follow instructions} on how to create crafts that look just like the original brand name ones!  The ChalkMat 101 ebook I received was the best “pattern” I’ve ever had to follow.  For the experienced and the not so experienced {me}, the instructions mapped out the entire process, with a supply list, pictures of “how to do it”, and special tips/ideas.  The accomplishment you will feel after finishing your project is amazing!  I’ll stick with making one at a time; one woman made these chalk mats as favors for a birthday party, how great would that be!!

See for yourself, from totes to jewelry, clothing to home decor, pet items and baby items, there’s something to be made for everyone!  You Can Make This has beginner projects, Kids Can Make This projects, and the favorite of many, FREE projects!  If you see a designer product on the market that you just can’t afford, maybe you can make it yourself, for much much less!

Make something for yourself, your kids, favors for parties, a gift, holiday decorations, etc…  Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it!

Want to try one out?  Take 10% off your order at You Can Make This with the code babyluxe10 {expires August 31st}.

OR try your luck at winning 2!  Enter to win the ChalkMat 101 ebook AND another ebook of your choice!  Just leave us a comment on which other ebook you would choose if you won!  Good luck, contest ends July 14th. 

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!   Congratulations to Michelle in Texas!

OR if you can’t wait and don’t feel lucky, buy your own now and take 15% off with the code Babyluxe.
