<p><a href="http://www.mycurlycue.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4396" title="curlycuelogo" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/curlycuelogo-300x102.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="102" /></a></p>
<p>About Curly Cue:</p>
<blockquote><p>The idea behind Curly Cue is to make quality wall graphics that the whole family can enjoy. Made for each room in the house, Curly Cue offers one-of-a-kind designs for original flair and pizzazz to brighten up any room. Curly Cue utilizes bright colors along with simplicity to create a unique style for any room. Whether it be the office, dorm or home, Curly Cue designs add a dash of style to fit your individual decorating technique.</p></blockquote>
<p>I love being able to change up a room without having to go through the hassle of painting the whole room.  <a href="http://mycurlycue.com">Curly Cue</a>&#8217;s wall graphics have just the right amount of cool and edgy artwork that are perfect for home or work &#8211; they are great for kids&#8217; rooms, dorm rooms, and especially apartments where you&#8217;re not allowed to paint but still want to make the place your own. Curly Cue has everything from cute monkeys to cool robots and monsters, and founder and designer Jordy Kirkman has also come up with the coolest floor borders.  You can choose from flowers and grass or an ocean floor.  I just think that is the cutest idea!  Buy as many as you need to round out your room, or use them to decorate some furniture too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://mycurlycue.com/products/angry-monster-wall-graphic"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0009/5852/products/angrymonster_thumb_medium.jpg?1268033162" alt="" width="173" height="173" /></a><a href="http://mycurlycue.com/products/tree-birdies-wall-decal-set"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0009/5852/products/Treeset_2_thumb_medium.jpg?1268033162" alt="" width="173" height="173" /></a><a href="http://mycurlycue.com/products/grass-butterfly-bedroom-border"><img src="http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0009/5852/products/grassborder_thumb2_medium.jpg?1268033162" alt="" width="173" height="173" /></a></p>
<p>I think this would be a great way to decorate a baby or toddler&#8217;s room, because you know that in a few years, they won&#8217;t want the same decorations anymore.  This way, you don&#8217;t have to re-paint and everyone can be happy!  The stickers are affordable, really easy to apply, and can also be easily removed or repositioned.  These would be such a great gift for moms decorating a new nursery or playroom!</p>
<p>Curly Cue also has some really modern and unique designs for adults.  Check out some of my favorites!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">I made mini ice cream cone cupcakes, 3d characters from the movie, and had a little dvd player playing the movie.  I didn&#8217;t realize planning a kid&#8217;s birthday party was so much work!  We also had goodie bags with UP coloring books, and some of B&#8217;s favorite snacks (including some custom Brandon fortune cookies!).  I can&#8217;t believe my big boy is 2 already!  Time flies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to tell you about a new product by Gerber, called <a href="http://www.gerber.com/AllStages/Products/yogurt_blends.aspx#">Yogurt Blends</a>.  You can see from the ingredients that there are no artificial additives, flavors, or colors, and you can really taste that.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
CULTURED WHOLE MILK, SUGAR, BANANA PUREE, TAPIOCA STARCH NONFAT DRY MILK, CITRUS PECTIN, GELATIN, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL BANANA FLAVOR, BANANA JUICE CONCENTRATE, TURMERIC EXTRACT COLOR</p></blockquote>
<p>Each serving is 100 calories.  These yogurt blends are pasteurized and packaged so that they don&#8217;t need to be refrigerated.  You can find them in the baby aisle of your grocery store.  They are designed for babies who are sitting and up.  A sitter sits independently, picks up and holds small objects in hands, reaches for food or spoon when hungry, uses upper lip to help clear food off of spoon.  Read more about your <a href="http://www.gerber.com/Sitter/Default.aspx">Sitter</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sitter_YogurtBlends.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4379 aligncenter" title="sitter_YogurtBlends" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/sitter_YogurtBlends.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>GERBER® Yogurt Blends are a good source of calcium to help build strong bones and teeth. Each container offers the nutrition of real whole milk yogurt blended with GERBER® fruit purees. Great at snack time or as part of a meal. Look for all 3 flavors of GERBER® Yogurt Blends in the baby aisle.</p>
<ul>
<li>Simply Strawberry – Naturally Flavored with other Natural Flavors</li>
<li>Simply Banana – Naturally Flavored with other Natural Flavors</li>
<li>Simply Peach – Naturally Flavored with other Natural Flavors</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4360" title="Picture 194" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-194-300x48.png" alt="" width="300" height="48" /></a></p>
<p>About Josie Maran Cosmetics:</p>
<blockquote><p>As a top model, Josie learned about makeup from the best in the business. While world-famous makeup artists worked their magic on her, she paid attention. She learned about the transformative power of makeup, and how just a little can do a lot. She learned what works and what doesn&#8217;t, which ingredients to seek out and which to avoid.</p>
<p>Over time, Josie noticed a hole in the market. It was hard to find products that matched her approach to life &#8211; products that are pure and gentle, that contain no toxins or ingredients that damage the planet. The few earth-friendly products she found were lacking the sophistication and the level of luxury she craved.</p>
<p>Josie knew that if she wanted products that met these high standards, other women would want them too. So in 2006 Josie set out to create her own makeup line.</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the things my readers said in <a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2010/01/22/take-my-survey-and-get-5-extra-entries/">my survey</a> is that they want to see more mom stuff, like makeup and jewelry.  The first thing that came to mind is that I want to share <a href="http://josiemarancosmetics.com">Josie Maran Cosmetics</a> with those of you who haven&#8217;t heard of it.  Josie Maran is a super model who has graced the covers of magazines like Glamour, Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, and Mademoiselle.  She was a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model 3 years in a row, a Guess and Maybelline spokesmodel, has appeared in several movies and videos, and was even on Dancing with the Stars.  I also have to brag a little that I went to high school with Josie and played basketball with her (she was a great point guard!).  :)  You can read more about her bio <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/bio.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, Josie has seen her fair share of makeup, and decided to create her own line of more earth-friendly products.  I love that Josie Maran Cosmetics tells you every single ingredient in the products you are using, and she also has an <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/packaging.html">easy-to-read chart </a>with symbols that help you understand if your product is natural, organic, recylcable, fragrance-free, not tested on animals, etc.  Josie also has a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/josiemarancosmetics">You Tube Channel</a> where she has some really fun and informative tutorials on how to use her products.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy to be able to share with you two of Josie&#8217;s newest products, the <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/product.html?pid=1092">Natural Wonder Powder Palette</a> and the <a href="http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/product.html?pid=1093">Argan Primer Mist</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-193.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-4359 aligncenter" title="Picture 193" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-193.png" alt="" width="406" height="281" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <strong>Natural Wonder Powder Palett</strong><strong>e</strong> is new for Spring 2010, and includes five eyeshadows, two blush shades, and a bronzing powder.  This palette includes Eye Shadow: Daydream (shimmery apricot), Hope (bright iridescent blue- purple), Desire (iridescent teal), Trance (shimmery gold), Think (shimmery copper brown), Blush: Illusion (deep rose), Fiction (peachy pink), Bronzing Powder: Beach No. 1 (bronze).  This palette retails for $35.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-195.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4361" title="Picture 195" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-195-300x212.png" alt="" width="300" height="212" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <strong>Argan Primer Mist</strong> is made from Argan Oil, which is touted by Moroccan&#8217;s as a cure-all, and by those &#8220;in the know&#8221; as a secret weapon!  Argan Oil contains antioxidants, Vitamin E, and essential fatty acids.  The Argan Primer Mist can be used before makeup as a primer, or throughout the day as a refresher to keep your face hydrated and smooth.  The Argan Primer Mist is also infused with natural plant stem cells from sea fennel to stimulate new cell growth, battle signs of aging, improve skin tone, and repair damage from the sun.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Most other makeup primers are cakey or oily, and this one goes on smooth and light.  The refreshing mist has no distinct odor, and despite being called an &#8220;oil&#8221; doesn&#8217;t really feel oily at all.  After using all kinds of expensive products, I&#8217;m definitely a new convert to Josie&#8217;s Argan Primer Mist!  The Argan Primer Mist retails for $36.</p>

About Ella&#8217;s Kitchen in the words of Paul, the founder:
Ella is my ten-year-old daughter and I set up Ella&#8217;s Kitchen because I passionately believe that she, along with her generation, should have the opportunity to eat better food and also to discover that healthy food can be fun, tasty and cool.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Ella&#8217;s Kitchen</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.ellaskitchen.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4346" title="logo" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/logo.png" alt="" width="165" height="112" /></a></p>
<p>About Ella&#8217;s Kitchen in the words of Paul, the founder:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ella is my ten-year-old daughter and I set up Ella&#8217;s Kitchen because I passionately believe that she, along with her generation, should have the opportunity to eat better food and also to discover that healthy food can be fun, tasty and cool.</p>
<p>We think it&#8217;s important to always approach things from a child&#8217;s point of view. So, we&#8217;ve taken simple, natural ingredients that ooze goodness and created foods, and packaging, that should really connect with kids &#8211; with flavors, colors, textures and even names that will appeal to all of their senses.</p>
<p>We have two ranges currently available in the United States: our Smoothie Fruits and our Stage 1 Baby Foods. In the next few months we’ll also have some exciting new product news to tell you about!</p>
<p>We think Ella&#8217;s Kitchen is different. We hope you agree.</p></blockquote>
<p>Ella&#8217;s kitchen is unique in that they use 100% fresh whole organic fruits and vegetables (nothing from concentrate), and don&#8217;t add anything else.  No water, no added sugar, no additives, no juice or other flavorings.  These are just pure natural goodness.  They minimally process them by pasteurizing and then put them into these cool pouches that are super convenient to take along with you.  You can even re-close the top by screwing the cover back on, or freeze them for later use.  Perfect for traveling, a trip to the park, or just a fun snack at home.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ellask1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4345 aligncenter" title="ellask1" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/ellask1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="351" /></a>The Stage 1 baby food flavors include:</p>
<ul id="boardNav">
<li>apples + bananas</li>
<li>carrots, apples + parsnips</li>
<li>broccoli, pears + peas</li>
<li>peaches + bananas</li>
<li>strawberries + apples</li>
<li>sweet potatoes, pumpkin, apples + blueberries</li>
</ul>
<p>They also have 2 smoothie flavors &#8211; &#8220;the red one&#8221; and &#8220;the yellow one&#8221;.  They have some cool <a href="http://www.ellaskitchen.com/smoothie-fruit-recipes/">recipe ideas</a> to do with the smoothies too!   Just thinking about the strawberry cheesecake is making me drool!  <img src='http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Brandon had a lot of fun trying out the pouches straight from the package.  But you can squeeze them out into your favorite bowl and spoon feed, or just straight from the package into a spoon (skip the bowl).  If you want to warm them up, just put the bag under some running warm water, or leave it sitting in a warm bowl of water for a few minutes until it reaches the desired temperature.</p>

<p>About Summer Infant:</p>
<blockquote><p>We deliver the best for you and your baby to make it truly “the best time of your life!”</p>
<p>Who are we? We are moms, dads, aunts, and uncles that love nothing more than to make great products for you and your baby. At Summer, we strive for the best and always hope the delivery meets with that which we hoped and dreamed. Open communication with our consumers is one of our cornerstone philosophies, and we have instituted our For Moms by Moms™ section to keep the dialogue flowing with ideas, comments, feedback, and inspiration.</p>
<p>“ Delivering the best for you and your baby,” is not only our stated goal, but also our promise to you.</p></blockquote>
<p>I previously wrote about Summer Infant&#8217;s <a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2009/12/20/giveaway-summer-infant-complete-coverage-color-video-monitor-set/">Complete Coverage Video Monitor</a>, and some of their <a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2009/12/09/holiday-gift-guide-more-summer-infant-gifts/">Bath Toys</a>.  You&#8217;ve probably heard of Summer Infant as a trusted name in baby safety products.  They carry everything from from <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/8/">Gates</a> to <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/9/">Bedrails</a> to <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/74/">Potty Accessories</a>, <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/53/">Baby Gear</a>, and <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/12/">Booster Seats</a>.  They are also the parent brand for other great brands you might have heard of like Bibbity, Tiny Diner, Snuzzler, SwaddleMe, SlumberSack, and Dr. Mom. This time, I&#8217;m pleased to feature Summer Infant&#8217;s <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_products_view/382/Sure-Secure%AE-Deluxe-Top-of-Stairs-Wood-Walk-Thru-Gate.html">Sure&amp;Secure Deluxe Top of Stairs Wood Walk-Thru Gate</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030IICWC?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0030IICWC"><img class="aligncenter" title="summerinfant-gate" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/summerinfant-gate.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="406" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The Sure&amp;Secure® Deluxe Top of Stairs Wood Walk-Thru Gate combines the features most desirable to parents – walk-through doorway, attractive design, and top and bottom of stairs compatibility.  Additionally, this gate swings shut automatically, making it even more convenient to use!</p></blockquote>
<p>Product details:</p>
<div id="fragment-2">
<ul>
<li>Hardware mounted for top and bottom of stairs use</li>
<li>Pressure mount option – won’t mar walls</li>
<li>Furniture-like finish</li>
<li>Walk-through door closes automatically</li>
<li>One-handed operation</li>
<li>Fits openings 29.5” and 40.5”</li>
<li>29” high</li>
<li>Includes two extensions</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;">I love that this gate has the option of hardware mounting or pressure mounting.  It also looks great with the dark brown furniture finish.  Two of the most important features I was looking for are a one-handed operation, and the automatic swing-shut.  This new addition to Summer Infant&#8217;s line of gates is just perfect for me!  You can check out their <a href="http://www.summerinfant.com/categories_view/8/">entire line of gates here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I think a gate would be such a thoughtful, unique, and useful Baby Shower Gift!  Here are a few other Summer Infant products that I think would be great for Baby Showers &#8211; SwaddleMe Blankets, Support Seats, and Feeding Accessories.</p>

<h1>Bebe au Lait</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.bebeaulait.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4321" title="bebeaulait" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/bebeaulait.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="70" /></a></p>
<p>How Bebe au Lait started:</p>
<blockquote><p>When Claire Ekelund gave birth to her second daughter in 2003, she was proud to be an active nursing mom but recognized that, once again, nursing in public was going to be challenging. Like many nursing moms on-the-go, Claire was quickly reminded of how difficult it is to gracefully feed a wriggling baby and hold a blanket in position. She searched high and low for a solution, but found that nursing covers on the market at the time were clinical, impractical, and difficult to find. Leaving the room to feed Baby in privacy seemed the only alternative, yet this was not always an option.</p></blockquote>
<p>I previously did a review and giveaway of Bebe au Lait&#8217;s Hooded Towel (<a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2009/07/13/giveaway-bebe-au-lait-hooded-towel/">see my review here</a>).  I&#8217;m so happy to be able to share with you another great item from Bebe au Lait that would be perfect for a Baby Shower!</p>
<p>Bebe au Lait has all kinds of great gifts for Baby Showers, but I particularly like the <a href="http://shop.bebeaulait.com/bbal_cover_burp">Gift Sets</a>, because it has everything you need, and the fact that they all match is just so cute.  You get <strong>one nursing cover</strong> and <strong>3 burp cloths</strong>.  The burp cloths are made from luxurious and soft terry, perfect for your precious baby&#8217;s soft skin.  They are the perfect size for resting on your shoulder too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/burp.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4322 aligncenter" title="burp" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/burp.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Bebe au Lait has the softest nursing covers, and they are just the right size &#8211; not too big that you feel like you&#8217;re wearing a circus tent, and not too small that you&#8217;re worried about coverage.  The boning that goes around your neck gives just enough room for baby to get some air and for you to check on him/her and have that bonding eye contact while you nurse, but still allows you to have some privacy while nursing in public.  At first, I wasn&#8217;t sure about nursing in public, and I first used my Bebe au Lait nursing cover on a plane trip that we took.  What a life saver!  No one batted an eye, and both Brandon and I were super comfortable.  I&#8217;ve seen people do their grocery shopping with a Bebe au Lait nursing cover on, and a baby carrier holding the baby, so they have both hands free!  Now that is multi-tasking!  <img src='http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/nursingcover.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4323 aligncenter" title="nursingcover" src="http://www.babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/nursingcover.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>They have all kinds of great colors and styles to choose from.  Some of their new designs have some feminine ruffling around the neck or the pocket for that extra special touch.  You can also get an Organic Gift Set in their organic line, called Simple.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Buy One!</span></h2>
<p>You can purchase the gift sets at <a href="http://bebeaulait.com">bebeaulait.com</a>, <a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2009/07/13/giveaway-bebe-au-lait-hooded-towel/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fgw%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dbebe%2520au%2520lait%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&amp;tag=jc-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957%22%3Eamazon%3C/a%3E">amazon.com</a>, or at a store near you.  The gift sets retail for $50, or $70 for the organic (on sale for $55).</p>

<p>I was able to review Imprecious&#8217; beautiful fingerprint jewelry during the Holidays last year (read <a href="http://www.babybix.com/blog/2009/11/17/giveaway-holiday-gift-guide-imprecious-fingerprint-charm-jewelry/">my full review here</a>), and I&#8217;m happy to offer another giveaway to my readers for our Baby Shower Event.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with <a href="http://imprecious.com">Imprecious</a>, they use your baby&#8217;s fingerprint to create a beautiful charm that can be put on a necklace, bracelet, or earrings.  I think this would be the perfect gift for a new mom or grandma!  How precious to be able to keep your baby&#8217;s fingerprint close to your heart.  For babies less than 18 months old, you can also use a big toe print instead of a fingerprint.  I have an obsession with baby feet, and I think that is such a cute idea!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<p><a href="http://babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/img_2669.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="img_2669" src="http://babybix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/img_2669-300x225.jpg" alt="img_2669" width="300" height="225" /></a>The first step after you place your order is that you get a little imprint kit in the mail.  It comes with a detailed instruction booklet, and 2 different putty-like materials.  You mix them together, roll it in a ball, and press the finger in to get the imprint.  After about 30 minutes, the putty hardens, and you put it back in the container and send it back to Robin.  She will make your imprint and your jewelry (she even sent me a picture of it before it was done!), and ship it over to you.  The back of my imprint has a B on it, for Brandon.  The whole process took about 2-3 weeks for me from order to having the bracelet in hand.</p>
