One Language Label {DISCOUNT}

Monday, August 30th, 2010

It’s not often you find a bag/tote that’s perfect for work AND play; for days in the office with your laptop, to filling it with towels and swim suits for the pool or taking it to the market and piling it high with fresh goodies, OR simply using it daily as your carry all or diaper bag…one bag that “expands” for your needs, one bag that’s not flashy, not over-the-top, a bag that’s “Simply A Luxury”!

The simple luxuries bag above has been the highlight of my life for a few weeks now. This classy bag has graced the Matthews Farmers Market, the CMOMS consignment sale, Harris Teeter on multiple occasions, business coffee meetings, pool-side and park-side…holding purchases from Trader Joes trips OR holding nothing more than my wallet and a diaper & wipes case. It’s safe to say that I’m in love! There isn’t a place this bag can’t go! Since it comes with it’s own laptop sleeve, using this bag for work is a must as well. For you work at home or work in the office moms, no need to have 3-4 bags to switch in and out from work, to the mall, to play-dates and more…ONE BAG from One Language Label is all you need!

Six subtle designs, with features you won’t find on other bags! First, these bags are made from 100% natural canvas making it one of the sturdiest bags you’ll have in your collection {this is one canvas bag that won’t get shoved into the truck of your car!}. My favorite feature, snaps on the sides to make this bag your perfect standard size or super big for all those beach towels or groceries. Plus, each bag’s insides are lined with inspirational quotes, such a unique luxury! There are several inside pockets for your cell, wallet, and baby items, and don’t forget about the laptop sleeve! If you’re a bit sick of the bright and intensely colorful and LOUD bags out there these days…you’re in for treat with One Language Label!

I think the bicycle bag above could be one of my fav designs, this one would make a fabulous library tote, museum bag, wherever you venture with the kids, this bag needs to follow! Think ahead to Christmas or upcoming birthdays, or baby showers…better yet, getting married or know someone who is, these totes would make the best bridal party gifts! Shop away and take 20% off your purchase with the code baby20! Say hi to One Language Label on Facebook and Twitter!

The Bumble Collection {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

As my boys grow, it’s time to get rid of the baby gear, the baby clothes, the baby STUFF! I am completely amazed to find that certain items I’ve used since Day 1 of bringing one of the boys home from the hospital I’m still using today for non-baby related tasks, versatility at it’s finest!! Like one of the Bumble Collection snack bags I received almost 2 years ago…no more bottles or baby food jars, we actually use this bag as our “medicine” holder for traveling. Motrin for kids and mom, sinus medicine for T, eye drops, vitamins, etc…it’s our portable medicine cabinet. The perfect size and with the insulated interior the medicine stays at a good temperature and it’s easily cleaned if something happens to leak during travels. Just my small little proof that a company like The Bumble Collection makes products that outlast the baby years, where their designs have the look and quality to be used for much more than what they were made for!

The Emma Mini Bag above in Emerald Place from The Bumble Collection is divine! The perfect little bag for carrying what mommy needs and what baby needs, the perfect size…not too big, not to small…I’m thinking it’s brilliant for you mother-of-boys out there like me who want a little pink in your life!!

Features:

* Water Resistant, Stain Resistant with Soil Proof Lining
* Machine Washable
* Detachable Shoulder Strap to hang on Stroller
* Clear Zipper Pockets
* Multiple Storage Pockets & Elastic Bottle Pockets
* Inner Compartment for Egg Shaped Changing Pad
* Included Accessories: Egg Shaped Changing Pad
* MEASUREMENTS: 10”L X 9H X 5W

BTW, that hip little bag is our giveaway item so keep that in mind and see details below…but let’s look at a few other Bumble Collection items before we part today…

The above is the small snack bag I was talking about, love it!!

Shop by bag or by pattern, unique designs you’re sure to love, bags for travel, bags for baby, bags for you…all 4 collections are stunning and worth your browsing time.

Apple & Bee {GIVEAWAY}

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Our Summer has been go go go! Today seems to be our only day to sit home and hope it rains so I don’t feel guilty for keeping the kids inside. From the pool to the parks to play dates to running errands, it’s never ending and the days are way too short! All that means is this mama is one very unorganized lady! And not just when it comes to cleaning the house {or myself for that matter…who needs a shower when I’m in the pool everyday!}…my numerous bags are so filled to the brim with receipts and snacks and sunscreen I’m scared to see what has fallen to the bottom of them all! My one and only staple bag right now is my “bag inside the bag”, my Apple & Bee bowling bag that gets tossed in the pool bag or in the car or in my extra large tote for days where hours are spent away from home! Without this bag {which contains my necessities including deodorant, a hair brush, hair tie, sunscreen for me, gum, feminine products, and so much more} I would feel so alone in the world of swim diapers, goggles, Happy Meals, and sandy shovels!

A cosmetic bag to truly adore! No need to carry another purse with me when I’m already carrying everything under the sun for my kids {they seem to need so much more during the Summer days than they do during the Winter…bottled water, swim clothes for water sports on demand, not much room for what mom needs to survive in the heat!} Now I simply throw my Apple & Bee toiletry bag in the pool bag and I’m good for days! I’ve actually never had a toiletry bag before, I have some variations but nothing as gorgeous as this bag or as easy to stock and carry-along!

Bags for you and the kids, a one stop shop for school bags or overnight bags, clutches like the above for nights out {Made from organic cotton and lined with the softest bamboo silk BTW, super chic} or eco-friendly shopping bags {and so much more including baby accessories!}. All made from unique designs and high quality materials, my bowling bag is sure to last me as long as I need it {all my life}!

{For Back To School, the messenger style bags are all the rage…the above from Apple & Bee would make any pre-k or k child thrilled and excited to attend their first day!}

FOR US SHOPPERS, shop here!!

GIVEAWAY: A bowling bag for one of you fabulous gals! Let me know which one you would love! Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!

To be eligible to win, you must:
1) Comment from above
