.!.

I am just so excited to introduce you to these great products!  This is one of those things that I think everyone, I mean everyone needs to see!  I first came across these at a local kiosk and thought they were magnificent!  Fortunately, for those of you that don’t have a local lit’l Desi9ns kiosk, the online shop is just as charming!

Check this out:

 

If you look closely, you can make out the name Alyssa!  That’s what lit’l Desi9ns is all about.  Creative mastermind Debby Yennaco takes names and designs them into cool animals images, that are unique to each name.  You wouldn’t believe the number of great designs she’s come up with.  All of them are different and all equally awesome! 

You can get your name on a print (above), clothing (below):

 

Totes,  travel mugs and stationery:

and my personal favorite, stamps:

You can personalize all of your kids stuff with these!  The best part is – you and your child will know that its their name, but everyone else won’t.   Its always great to have something personalized, but sometimes we don’t want anyone and everyone to be able to call our children by name!  What a super solution!

My little one has been wearing her soft and adorable shirt and has received TONS of compliments!

Now, for the best part.  lit’l Desi9ns is offering 15% off (excluding stamps and embroidered items) just for mentioning Babyluxe in the subject line when you place an order!  This is your opportunity to get all if your kids things personalized so you don’t have lots of missing bags, hats, clothes and sippy cups at the park or pool this summer!  Shop and enjoy!!!

S. Stein Baby Case

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

MamaLuxe Edition

Oh me oh my, it’s not a passion anymore, it’s a complete obsession, maybe even an illness…my love and desire for diaper bags, totes, and now “cases” that is!  And I seriously really don’t need to carry one anymore but why not when they are so darn fashionable now a days, so perfect in every way, so so much better than carrying a purse {well, at least during the day; carrying a purse on date night or girls night of course bets the diaper bag…but you get my point}.  Here’s the next fabulous find; unique and desirable in it’s own special way, S. Stein offers their new Baby Case!

audrey-with-baby-case

Try to focus on the bag, not that precious little girl {what a cutie…}, anyway, check the bag out!!  Different right?  In an awesome way of course!  I’ll show you several pictures and you can see them on the site of course, but none of them do this bag justice!  In person, it’s unbelievable how modern this bag is, again, in a good way.  Leather or suede {now how many times can you say you’ve had a “leather” or a “suede” diaper bag}, spacious and comfortable, and clever too…with a snap-out liner so this bag can grow with you when bottles are no longer needed.

These bags are both mommy AND daddy compatible!  Nothing girlie about an S. Stein baby case which is fantastic, especially in my household!  I’m just fascinated by the look of these cases, aren’t you?  When it comes to any type of bag I have {or you have}, it needs to be unique, something you don’t see everyday, something that will stand out and turn some heads {face it, our short mini skirts sure don’t turn heads anymore, but our mommy products do!}, here you go!  A bag to make you feel special as a parent, more of an adult than a caregiver, a bag for all your needs, and again, so stylish too!

Told ya, looks right at home with Dad too!

While you are over at the S. Stein

site, check out all the other fun stuff they have!  Their other totes are just as trendy as their baby case, everyday or work totes, for those of you that don’t need to carry diapers or wipes around with you yet.  Wine totes to messenger bags, your needs will be fulfilled here!

What our editor Olivia has to say about this adorable Sit-Down Potty!

Who says soccer balls are just for boys?? Not my little girl! I showed her the soccer ball potty from Munchkin and she immediately yelped and giggled, jumping up and down! The little potty is shaped and colored like a soccer ball with an easily removable ‘bowl’. And it even comes complete with a ‘flusher’! When you ‘flush’ the potty the crowds roar with delight! Granted, my little girl loves to flush the potty more than ‘use’ the potty, but her time will come! The great thing about the Munchkin soccer potty is that it makes going potty fun and exciting for a training two year old. What I am learning as I try to potty train my little munchkin is that making potty time fun and comfortable is the absolute most important thing! Going potty is a big step for a toddler, but with the soccer potty from Munchkin, it’s a fun easy step!

Did you even know Munchkin carried nursing covers?  It’s perfect for a company as large and well-known as Munchkin to add lines that apply to all areas of a child’s life, right at the very beginning through the toddler years and beyond, even for us breast feeding moms out there!  These covers are just as stylish as the mega expensive ones and have the  full coverage any mom is looking for, and at only $14.99…yes, you heard me, a nursing cover at only $14.99, unbelievable right!  Not unbelievable, AWESOME!  Sure, we all love luxury from time to time and never thought it could be affordable, how wrong we were!  The Munchkin nursing cover again looks like you bought it from a luxurious boutique…but you were smart and bought it from Munchkin instead!

And finally, for our giveaway item, the Munchkin Turtle Shower!  I still wash all three boys in the tub at the same time on most days…can you image doing 3 separate baths every night, who has the time for that!  The boys enjoy their joint bath time and especially now with their new Turtle Shower.  They laugh and laugh at it and “shower” each other {and every Spiderman in the house…each little action figure we own goes in the tub and now gets his own daily shower, too stinkin cute!}  With sturdy suction cups to hold Mr.  Turtle in place and a fishy hose to suck up the water, this clever little contraption will be the next hit for bath time!  If your children are anything like ours, you have to rotate bath toys often to keep their attentions while you scrub them.  So again, at only $14.99, the Turtle Shower would make a perfect, unique birthday gift or just because gift for any toddler!

Yep, we have a Turtle Shower to giveaway, you will love it, trust me!!  Simple head on over to the Munchkin site and let us know your all time favorite product they offer, or one you have been eyeing and haven’t purchased yet.  Munchkin products are sold in Target, Walmart, and Babies R Us stores nationwide, just in case you’ve been under a rock and never seen them before!  Contest ends in one week, good luck!

Bical Grippers {Discount} & Vincent Shoes

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Bical Grippers

The following is a review by our new editor Olivia

My little girl is so picky about her shoes! I know that once she finds a shoe she likes, it’s comfortable and fun to show off for her. So, combine the coziness of a nice warm sock with the sturdiness of a rubber soled shoes and you have the ideal combination! That’s what Bical Grippers provide!

When we pulled the green and white striped sock with the pink-soled bical gripper out of the bright pink box, my little one’s face lit up. She grabbed the shoes from my hands and immediately stuck out her feet ready for me to quickly put them on. With a little cupcake sewn on each side, these little shoes are fit for a princess! My toddler immediately showed everyone her new shoes by dancing around the living room, pointing to them and sticking her feet out in front of people.

She has worn her Bical Grippers in the house and outside and they are sturdy and resilient to her nonstop two year old feet. They do fit snugly so it’s worthwhile to order a size bigger so your little one can have more time running around in their favorite pair! They are the perfect combination for the active toddler! My daughter wears hers almost daily at some point and they still look and feel brand new. These are definitely going to stay in her closet for a while! I can’t wait to get some of the other designs!

Bical Grippers has fun girl and boy designs from camouflage to sweet hearts and they even have knee sock designs for even more warmth and comfort. Bical Grippers also come in larger sizes so your little one doesn’t have to give them up as their little tootsies grow!

Now you can get Bical Grippers for your little one, at a sweet 20% discount!  Just enter the code “BICAL20″ at checkout, here !

Vincent Shoes

Looking for a shoe shop that has hundreds of unique shoes to choose from?  As I have said before, I have the hardest time finding shoes for my boys; because they both have huge feet!  They tend to outgrow their age styles way too early.  Not so with Vincent Shoes!

Alex has the most adorable, comfortable & practical sandals this summer from Vincent Shoes, and I need to share the details with you!  Check out these Vincent Oskar sandals

!

As Olivia stated about about her toddler being picky about her shoes, so is Alex!  And when I pulled the Vincent Oskar shoes out of the box, he immediately tried to get them on himself so he could start prancing around the house in them.  Now, several months later, they are still in nearly new condition, besides a little scuffing on the rubber sole from many backyard & park excursions!

Vincent Shoes carries such a great assortment of shoes, many that are fit for back to school, which we really must be thinking about already {I know, summer JUST started}!  I am leaning towards the Vincent Joakim

for Alex’s first year of preschool.  They will surely hold up to the wear and tear that he’ll put on them at the playground & indoors.
