Two Blue Cars {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, March 8th, 2010

You need to only take a quick look at this site to know why I love it so!  ALL For BOYS…tees both short and long made for our rough and tough little fellas!  Sarah recently chatted about starting an “all boys club”, and this would be one of the companies to join us as mothers of boys world wide search high and low for those perfect boyish tees, perfect for any age {infants on up}, perfect for all seasons, and fitting for any itty bitty masculine personality!

Trucks and robots, bikes and good old fashion boomboxes….that’s what little boys are made of!  Sure they are sweet {but there’s no sugar and spice it’s more like dirt and fresh grass}, sure they are nice {but they are also loud and often bruised and bleeding from endless hours of non-stop rough-housing}…little boys are made to be strong and sturdy, with dinosaurs and helicopters as their mascots…and Two Blue Cars has the clothing line to bring out the pure boy in all our little men!

Of course  super cool girls will want to wear these tees too…and we can’t blame them for lovin’ the look!  Our sample was the short sleeve orange tee above for our 4 year old Connor.  I can not say enough about the color for starters!  Orange is in right?  I see it everywhere and on blue eyed little boys, it’s the most precious color in his wardrobe to date!  The classic, crisp designs are not overpowering…they are stating through simple, unique graphics  “I LOVE BIG TRUCKS”, “I LOVE DINOSAURS”…hear me roar!!!  Color after color, design after design, there is nothing better for a mother of boys than a favorite pair of blue jeans and the perfect tee on your baby {or big} boy. I hope you’ll agree, that perfect tee is here at Two Blue Cars!

These tees wash and dry very well, retaining the bright color with no fading on the image.  It’s not even Spring yet and we’ve gotten plenty of use out of ours!  Check out the tanks too…some {including my husband} are not fans of tank tops on little boys…I LOVE them, boys get just as hot as anyone else in the heat of the Summer, let those little arm pits breathe!!

Totes from Two Blue Cars too, gotta love it!  You know I adore a good tote {for me OR for the kids}, and if sporting one shows what an awesome and proud “Mother of Boys and only Boys” I am, I’m all over it!  For lunches, school bags, library books, beach gear, whatever your little man {or little lady, tomboy or not…} needs to carry around, these totes are perfect!  How about giving away TWO totes, winners pick??  Simple comment back to use which graphic and color you would pick.  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!

Merino Kids {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’ve been very luck this winter to have a wonderful sleeping bag for Noah.  The temperature outside has fluctuated so much this season it’s impossible to keep his room at a regular temperature.   Being able to have him wear a natural fiber sleeping “sac” meant his body temperature would be regulated regardless of his room temperature and the outdoor conditions.  That gave me a huge piece of mind.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack is different than the other sleeping bags on the market.   Merino is the wonder fiber for young children, merino is a natural wool fiber that has evolved to become the world’s finest fiber.  Unlike most synthetic fabrics, merino is able to breathe and control moisture. This results in a regulated body temperature for your baby and a comfortable micro-climate between body temperature and bedding. When it’s cool, the fabric naturally works overtime to keep baby warm, and when the temperature drops, the fabric insulates to keep baby warm.

I was immediately impressed with the quality of this sleeping bag as soon as I put it on Noah.  First, it is almost custom made for your baby with snaps you can use if you need for a bib adjustment.  So even though the design of the sleeping bag allows for a lot of moving around room the top of the sleeping bag is snug and fits perfectly.  The fabric is super soft and thick.  I knew he’d be comfortable and warm.  BUT what I didn’t expect was a real treat.  Noah soaks his diaper throughout the night, so without fail he wakes up around 4am for a quick change, well that didn’t happen when he wore the Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack!  I wasn’t sure why until I read more about the fabric and its wonderful ability to wick moisture away from the body which prevents you from getting chills and waking up at 4am :-)   Now that is worth the money!

Evolution has endowed the merino sheep with an amazing wool fiber that scientists cannot replicate. No artificial fabric can match the all-round performance of merino.   It has superior insulation, its allergy safe, made highly durable, naturally fire resistant so no chemicals! The fiber naturally regulates the body temperature so no worries on cold nights or humid summer nights and by reducing the risk of overheating your baby you reduce the risk of SIDS.  Choosing to put your child in a sleeping bag reduces the change of SIDS automatically.

Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack is the world’s first merino baby sleep sack, made from luxuriously soft, allergy-safe New Zealand merino wool that has an all-year-round use for rooms 64°F to 75°F.   Merino regulates body temperature so baby won’t overheat so you can replace blankets.  Your baby can’t wriggle out and wake uncovered getting cold.   The sleeping bag design doesn’t ride up over baby’s face and it has innovative safety belt aperture makes it easy to transfer sleeping baby between crib, stroller and car!  That is convenient.   This award-winning design adjusts for babies newborn to two years and reduces certain SIDS risk factors.

You won’t be sorry with your purchase, your dollar will go a long way too.  Your baby will wear the sleeping bag for 2 YEARS and you’ll be able to hand it down.  Feel good about your child sleeping comfortably every night :-)

I’m thrilled to offer  a Merino Kids Baby Sleep Sack for one lucky reader!   Be sure to become a fan on FaceBook to participate in monthly prizes!   Here’s your EXTRA ENTRY…subscribe to their newsletter.   Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!

Happy Solez Organics {GIVEAWAY & DISCOUNT}

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I can’t express clearly how thrilled I am that Katherine Accettura creator of yummy homemade goodies contacted Baby Elan {daily}.    It has been a treat getting to know her and see her business taking off!    She is brilliant, dedicated, so extremely creative and wonderfully friendly and warm.   You will love her products and you’ll love her.

Katherine created Happy Solez Organics in 2008 in order to provide well-made products to families who believe in using organic and eco-friendly products. By performing each step of the process when creating goods (design, preparing, sewing, marketing, selling, shipping, and more),see, brilliant!  very little waste is produced, and a very small carbon footprint is emitted. :-)
Selling goods locally and globally, and interacting with customers, has been an important part of the process in assuring that we will receive the best, American-made product possible.  Many of the fabrics used in Happy Solez Organics include Bamboo, Organic Cotton, 100% Recycled Materials, and also Reclaimed Materials. By making a smaller impact on our Earth, generations to come will be happier to live in a greener world.  Katherine would love to spin off something custom for you too!

Little Noah was fortunate to receive a perfect pair of organic booties from Katherine.  I told her he was trying to walk so she made sure to include skid pads on the bottom of his little pair, custom!  :-)   Such beautiful little booties for cute little feet. These shoes feature an Organic, Sustainable Liner that is made from half Bamboo and half Organic Cotton.  You all know how much I love bamboo!  And how smart to use it in the liner where your child’s feet will sweat.  Bamboo is super absorbent!  CLEVER  The exterior is constructed from Hand Printed Bali Batik Cotton.The colors are extremely beautiful on these and they are great for boys or girls.There is soft, cotton elastic around the openings so the booties stay put when baby kicks.  Noah has not kicked his off yet.  I’ve washed them twice and dried them.. by mistake actually but both times they came out perfectly fine.   We love them, they are so easy to put on and soft on his feet.  I get compliments often about these fantastic organic booties.

Nicholas was lucky enough to receive this adorable and super soft tee from the Happy Solez  Organics collection :-)   He wears it to pre-school regularly, I’ve washed it a ton in a normal cycle, even dried it too a few times.  The shape, color and fabric, stitching has worn perfectly.  I’m very happy when I see him wearing  his tee, he’s comfortable because the shirt fits him well.

Happy Solez Organics is about a lot more than booties as you are seeing.  Katherine is just getting started!  In a few short months she has added several new products to her homemade collection.  These adorable bags are an example!  I don’t know a little girl out there who would not cherish her own little bag made with some wonderful fabric.

Who is getting spring fever?  I am, I don’t usually either but Charlotte has had an odd winter, long and cold so I’m ready for sunny days full of sunshine and playing outside.   Katherine has been a busy bee sewing and designing all sorts of exciting products for Happy Solez Organics Spring Vintage Collection!    I get a rush of inspiration just looking at the fresh, clean bold prints she’s using for her spring line.   With new products like pouches, bags, Ipod bags and clothes, onsies, a lot of wonderful homemade items.   All very unique and gorgeous.

 

Little Joey gets to model our giveaway onsie from Happy Solez Organics with a super adorable applique fashionably stitched onto the onsie giving it a unique cheerful look.   Isn’t he handsome!

Katherine sews eco-cloths with scrubbers!   Better than a paper towel and gorgeous.  One of our readers will be able to win a set of your own!   You have to see her new website at Happy Solez Organics it is really the best way to see all her work.  The site isn’t completely finished but feel free to take a peek.  :-)   Her FaceBook page has many images of the products available, especially her recent bags and many zipper pouches.

 

Visit her Esty site at Happy Solez Organics and take advantage of a shopping discount.  Use Promotion Code LUXE10 during your Etsy Checkout.

Beyond excited to offer a Happy Solez Organics GIVEAWAY  for one lucky reader!   Katherine has graciously put together an adorable package of a sky blue baby onsie & her fabulous eco- cloths!   Here’s your EXTRA ENTRY…become a fan of Happy Solez Organics on FaceBook Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!!

Monkey Bar Buddies {Discount}

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

I have a two year old who loves to wear dresses and skirts!  The only problem with this girly girl is that she loves to pull up her skirt and sit in unlady like positions.  I know she is only two but until she is old enough for Cotillion she will be wearing Monkey Bar Buddies.  This will save both of us not only from embarrassment but also the resulting meltdown when I spoil her flashing fun at our next playgroup!

Not only are Monkey Bar Buddies practical for little ladies like my Genevieve but they have so many more great uses.  Put them on under a nightgown, use them as an extra layer under athletic shorts and they are great for under school uniforms.  As a former Catholic school girl I can tell you Monkey Bar Buddies are SO much cuter than the boxer shorts we wore under our black watch plaid skirts!   

Monkey Bar Buddies are available in sizes 2T-16.  They come in 10 different colors to match or compliment whatever outfit your little or big girl wants to wear!  Choose from leggings, shorts or for the littlest ladies check out the Baby Buddies!  My daughter received a complementary pair of Monkey Bar Buddies leggings to try out and they are adorable!  Not only do they keep her modest but they are an added accessory that complement so many of her skirts and dresses.  Also, with spring on the way this is a great time to start wearing those cute summer dresses ahead of schedule as well of preparing for those adorable Easter dresses!

Monkey Bar Buddies would like to extend a discount for all BabyElan readers!  Take 15% off all shorts and leggings with the code BLUXE at checkout.  Happy shopping to all of you!
