Koala Kuddles

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Now that Spring is “almost” here, are you looking for that perfect lightweight blanket for your little one?  We recently received the new, Austin based, muslin swaddle blanket from Koala Kuddles, and we’re in love!

As a firm believer in swaddling as long as humanly possible, we were so excited to test out this new product!  Yes, it’s true that the material of your blanket makes a huge difference when determining whether or not swaddling is going to be successful for your baby…  We had great success with flannel blankets when swaddling Alex 3 years ago, but muslin seems to be the way to go for Harrison.

The Koala Kuddles blankets are just the right size for swaddling babies from 0 -3 months.  Now that he is approaching the 4-month mark {tomorrow!} he is getting a little too long for these blankets.  That said, with the adorable animal print design & the softer with every wash, breathable muslin fabric, our Koala Kuddles days are far from over!

I had really been stressing over making sure Harrison had a beloved lovey or blankie, like my other two children did.  Well my friends, I think the Koala Kuddles blanket has made it’s way into Harrison’s heart {and mine}.  It is the perfect size for keeping him cozy in his car seat, stroller & even baby swing.  He loves to have it close to his face, and he loves to feel the soft muslin fibers between his fingers.  I love the Koala Kuddles for keeping him shielded from the sun {which we hope to do a lot next week in Disney World!} & I use it regularly as a nursing cover.  It provides just the right amount of weight to keep him warm, but not too hot.

With two simple & understated designs available, Australian Animals and Polka Dots, you won’t have any trouble choosing which to get.  They are both great!  Grab a package of Koala Kuddles now, just in time for the warmer weather!

My NapPak Inc.

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Snuggly, warm and comfortable. That is how we want our little ones to feel when they are napping, right?  Well, I have found the most perfect thing for napping that your little ones will just love!  Very excited to be introducing you to My NapPak Inc, a fabulous little company that has created the fabulous NapPak, that is easy, convenient, cozy and fun for your little ones!

 

We were so excited when our NapPak sample arrived. We received the awesome Crazy Camo NapPak for our son (above). Love it!  It’s so cool.  I love how portable it is. Rolls right up, and goes over your arm for super easy transport.  The NapPak is perfect for Daycare. Instead of those mats that they provide that look so uncomfortable, why not have your child be so happy and cozy in their very own NapPak!  Also, perfect for traveling and for use in your home.  All the kids in the family will love having their very own NapPak’s. We can’t wait to bring it to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  It’s ideal for travel and for overnights with families and friends!

My NapPak Inc was founded by Beth Clampitt in 2001. She realized the need for the NapPak after seeing how most day care facilities only provide a basic mat or a cot and encourage the parents to provide a blanket.  She saw the need and created the NapPak after realizing the need to create a roll up sleeping product.  I know I would not want my son sleeping on an uncomfortable mat or cot, that is why the NapPak is perfect for daycare and school!

So be sure to Check out My NapPak today to get this amazing product that both you and your little ones will love!  Also, for a small additional fee, you can also get your NapPak monogrammed with your child’s name!  You will love the adorable patterns that the NapPak’s come in. Also the NapPak is completely washable and rolls up neatly with velcro closures and a shoulder strap, so easy to store and clean!

 

 

Zerbert Baby {GIVEAWAY}

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

We’ve been so thrilled with the amount of local networking we’ve been able to accomplish lately in the Charlotte community.  Being in touch with women, moms, business owners, media, and all that jazz right here in our own back yards is so exciting and so rewarding!  We’ve developed more relationships just in the past 6 weeks worth of 2010 than I think we did all last year!!  See…2010 is the year of BabyElan!!  I “foresee” 2010 being “the year” for many of us actually!!  AND, if 2010 is the year for baby making for you…you’ll love this Charlotte based company!

Say hello to Aundrea and her creations at Zerbert Baby!  The bag above is what drew us in to Aundrea’s product line.  It’s sturdy and modern {mixtures of designs for stimulation and head turning…}!  A backpack or diaper bag sometimes isn’t needed, or wanted for that matter.  For a simple yet note worthily sibling gift {perfect for hospital visits after the birth of the sibling’s new baby brother or sister} or shorter outings like church or lunch with friends or the park…these precious totes are adorable, easy to carry, and personalized {which by the way is included in the price…}.  We have a personalized “Aidan” bag that “Aidan” thinks is the best thing since sliced bread!!  At 20 months old, he can carry it himself so of course he thinks he’s hot stuff!!  When Auntie has him, there’s no need for a diaper bag, just an “Aidan” bag.  And for church, we pack it full of snacks and coloring supplies and he’s good to go for the whole hour!  Make these your next gift bags…fill them with goodies and be the hit of the party!  OR, “hippity hoppity, Easter’s on it’s way…” and if you don’t do baskets or are ready for a new tradition, why not fill Zerbert Baby personalized toddler bags with eggs instead!!  So many uses, every child needs one!  Oh…I’ve also used “Aidan’s” as a reusable shopping tote at Target recently, he got to carry his chocolate milk and special good boy toy all on his own just like mommy’s reusable shopping totes!!

We first saw Zerbert Baby products in Belly Elan here in Charlotte and of course reached out to Aundrea immediately!  Her product line is “luxe & elan” and everything we know you look for when shopping for baby gifts!  When buying gifts, I don’t care if it’s the first child in the family or the 9th, you can not go wrong with bibs and burps!  Especially when they are super cute, reversible, ultra-soft, perfectly sized, durable, and come with a waterproof inner layer…YEP…that’s a Zerbert Baby Bib and matching burp cloth!  Matchy matchy goes over so well at baby showers!!  The Snails and Peas design above is my fav!  Good for boys or girls I would say!

Oh…I meant to mention this in the beginning, do you know what a “zerbert” is??  Come on now mommies…think…I’m going to ask this as “extra credit” for the giveaway below so keep thinking!  Love the name by the way Aundrea, super cute!!  So for your next gift…think Zerbert Baby or spoil your child soon with his/her own bag like we mentioned above!  {Zerbert Baby also carries cozy security blankies shown in some clever designs above and if you are in Charlotte and visit Belly Elan, you’ll see some Zerbert Baby onesies too!!}

Beyond excited to offer up a Zerbert Baby bag personalized AND a bib for one lucky little lady or fella!  Please let us know what design you would pick for your bib and bag, and what name you would like to see on the bag!!  Here’s your EXTRA ENTRY…tell me what a zerbert is??  If you don’t know, you can find it on the site of course!

Pukies {DISCOUNT & GIVEAWAY}

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Organic has done it again!  If you are looking for a clothing line that is 1. organic 2. colorful 3. stain resistant 4. hides your babies lunch mess? WHAT? YES!  I have found a collection for you :-)

Isn’t the name hilarious!  Pukies is a clothing line made of SOY GENIUS fabric.  Samantha Asay and creative partner Mark Granchai have designed an organic cotton soy fiber fabric with a bit of spandex that comes in colors matching your babies latest dinner entree :-) The collection is so unique in that Mark designs simple fun whimsical patterns to disguise your babies food splattered onesie and Samantha has cleverly chosen colors resembling “what was for dinner”.   All Pukies products are made with Soy Genius fabric, a soft, luxurious fabric made from a blend of natural soy fibers and organic cotton.

We received this adorable “ketchup” onesie with these fun features, long-sleeves, super shoulder snaps for easy on/off,  the super-soft soy and organic cotton blend fabric makes it difficult for food stains to stick, comfortable & eco-friendly, clever & adorable.   My favorite feature of these clothes is the spandex blended fabric.  Yes I love that the line is organic and natural but dressing a busy 7 month old can be very tricky, if a garment allows for some pulling and tugging then it’s doing me and my baby a huge favor.

Noah enjoys wearing his Pukies outfit.  The pants we received are so comfortable, how do I know, I can see they don’t cut into his buddha belly, the fabric is light, stretchy and really soft.  The cargo pants have reinforced knees and ample room for diapers. Comfortable elastic keeps ‘em where they belong, the super-soft soy and organic cotton blend fabric makes it difficult for food stains to stick.  So what more can you ask from a piece of clothing?

Pukies are stain friendly accessories and gifts.  The fabric is amazing, 56% Organic Cotton that is free of toxic chemicals, biological and sustainable growth methods utilized,  no synthetic and destructive fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides nor pesticides.  37% Soy Fiber, buttery soft is the very best way to describe the feeling of the fabric, naturally antimicrobial, wicking action makes it difficult for most stains to set, made from the by-product of soybean production, sustainable, renewable and biodegradable.  Lastly, 7% Spandex, adds stretch and versatility which is my favorite feature of these clothes, tightens knit to provide a UPF 30+ rating, increases the life of a garment!

Take these items as your gift at the next baby shower you attend.  The recipient will LOVE your unique, eco friendly, thoughtful idea!

Pukies is an innovative company bringing you a collection of clothes this spring that protects your children from insect bites!  Buggies is the new line of insect shield repellent apparel that you most definitely will want to sample this mosquito season!   Kids are just more susceptible to insect bites, lower to the ground, moving slower.  My son gets bit unmercifully all summer long.  He actually has to be perscribed medicine for his bites because he has a local reaction!  :-(   So you know I will be shopping this new line when it launches!

Enjoy a 15% discount now through March 30th on all Pukies products! Have fun shopping ;-) USE GREEN15 WHEN CHECKING OUT.

GIVEAWAY ALERT! One lucky BabyLuxe {daily} reader will win a $25.00 Pukies coupon by simply commenting back to us your favorite playwear, bib, gift set or accessory!   Contest ends in one week! Good Luck! Open to US residents only!  Check out Pukies for further fun on their Facebook page!
