BabyLegs Giveaway

At Emilee Grace BabyLegs is one of our favorite products. I absolutely love the look of little kids wearing them. My own girls, Emilee & Grace, love them! Gracie (almost 2) gets very worked up and upset when I take hers off! For us, they are an absolute "must have" when I'm applying cream to Gracie's eczema. I pop those babies on her legs after I'm done and the cream has a chance to do it's magic without little hands interfering. :)

This week we're giving away a pair of Cabana Blue BabyLegs. They came in a gift set with 2 other pairs but my precious little cherubs got ahold of the other 2 pairs. These are brand new - never worn so you don't have to worry about that.





Although these particular BabyLegs are not part of our Sew Golden Promotion, we do have plenty of adorable prints and patterns that ARE. There is still a month left to take advantage of that fabulous campaign and since we already offer FREE BabyLegs with the purchase of select diaper bags, you will come out a winner either way. :) Click HERE for Sew Golden details.

More Products for BOYS!

If you haven't stopped by Emilee Grace in a few days or even weeks then you will be happy to hear that we have added some new products...............for boys! I know, a lot of people come to this site and think "great site if you have a girl but I have a boy" and immediately leave. Well, we don't want that. So, in the past few weeks I've made some changes which allow products that are gender specific to be found easily. In the category column on the left of the homepage, you will see new categories titled "For Boys", "For Girls" and "For Mom". Here's to making everyone's life a bit easier!

Just this morning I've added some new and just adorable shoes for BOYS! Emilee Grace is now carrying Jack and Lily leather shoes and they are too cute. Here's just a little taste of what you'll find:

Online Shopping Parties

I have several friends who are consultants for things like Lia Sophia Jewelry, Southern Living, Tastefully Simple, etc. While that type of business is not my thing (I failed miserably at Mary Kay and Avon) I like to host parties for my friends to help them out. I know how much it stinks to have to ask someone to do a party for you. I know, because I've been there. Thus, my failures with the previously mentioned ventures. Well, it's been a few years and much to my happiness things have changed a bit. What seems to be the trend now is online shopping events. You don't have to clean your house for guests. You don't have to provide food. Heck, you don't even have to get dressed (er, um, let's not go there) if you don't want to. All you need to do is send out an Evite with the information and you can just sit back and reap the benefits.
I like free. Do you like free? Since I'm a jump-on-the-bandwagon type of person (one day I'll tell you about the Yankee parade I "attended" back in '96) I wanted to get in on the online shopping party festivities. And maybe you do to. Here's my proposal. I send you an invite with a special little discount code for your friends and family to use. You send it to them and they can even invite their friends and family to join in the fun. Everyone has 2 weeks to use it by shopping online at Emilee Grace. After the "event" you, the hostess, will receive 15-20% in free products. Easy peasey.
If you want in, you can email me at modernmamadiana at hotmail dot com or diana at emileeandgrace dot com.

We Have Gone Green! New Products Announcement

I'm excited to announce that we just got some fabulous Organic products in this week and I can't wait for you to see them. Added to our product line this week is burp cloths, washcloths, hooded towels and bibs - all ORGANIC!

Not only did we add a whole new line but we also added a new Diaper Bag. I've been on the look-out since day one for affordable diaper bags. I have to say, my journey has not been easy. It seems that all of the ones I have come across are around $100 or more. While I think they are great, not everyone has $100 to spend on a Diaper Bag. But, I have good news. I found one that I really like and it's called the Grande Diaper Bag and, are you ready for this? It's $36.95. Not only is it stylish and fashionable, it's also reversible. So if you are feeling a little sassy, use the printed side. If you are in more of a mellow kind of mood, use the solid brown side. Oh, and did I mention that this fabulous bag comes with a Changing Pad?

A fabulous bargain if I do say so myself. :)

Bloggy Carnivals Giveaway!

A few months ago Modern Mama's Fabulous Favorites, which is run by me, owner of The Emilee Grace Company, participated in our first ever giveaway. We had such an incredible time and a great turn out that we decided to do it again. :) So, with that said, let's get down to business!


The Emilee Grace Company will be giving away one ultra fabulous Breastfeeding/Nursing Cover to one lucky winner. Don't know what a Nursing Cover is? Maybe you are more familiar with the term Hooter Hiders? I know. It made me giggle the first time I heard it too. Nursing Covers provide the perfect amount of privacy when you are breastfeeding in public and you don't have to sacrifice your sense of style while doing it.


Here are some features:


  • Adjustable strap (d-rings) to allow mom to find the best fit.
  • Boning in the neckline keeps the fabric away from baby's face and gives mom a direct view of baby (so important for a good latch!)
  • 100% cotton, machine washable.
  • Inside pocket to store pacifier or nursing pads.
  • Lightweight cotton to keep baby (and you!) from over-heating.
  • Made with Amy Butler designer fabric.
  • Other uses: blanket, sun shield (drape over the stroller to hide baby from the sun), head support (when in stroller/car seat), changing pad.
  • Approximate size: 33" x 23"

To win this fabulous prize, follow these simple rules:


*Visit Emilee Grace and then come back here and tell me what you liked best about the site.

*You don't need to have a blog to enter this giveaway but you MUST leave your email address so that I can contact you if you win. All annonymous entries will be deleted.

*Want your entry to count twice? Subscribe to this blog and let me know that you did and I will enter your name an additional time in the drawing.

*Want another chance to win? Tell your friends (and readers) about this giveaway and make sure they drop your name in their comment and I will enter you and additional time.

*This giveaway will run from Monday April, 21 through Friday, April 25. A winner will be chosen at random and posted no later than Monday, April 28.


Thanks for visiting and good luck to everyone!

Things at Emilee Grace have been very busy for us as we have been adding some new features to our website such as our "For Boys", "For Girls" and "For Moms" section making searching for the perfect product that much easier. We have also added a fabulous new product, Nursing/Breastfeeding Covers. In this day and age where there is more and more of an emphasis on breastfeeding, moms like you and me have been working hard at providing ways for you to breastfeed in public and have the privacy that you may want. Made from Amy Butler designer fabric, you can't go wrong with any of our fashionable styles.

In the coming weeks we will be adding a whole new section: Organic! Yes, Emilee Grace is taking part in the efforts to go green and we will be carrying a plethora of Organic baby products.

In May we will be featuring Jack & Lilly baby (crib) shoes. When I found them I absolutely fell in love. I'm talking turtles, giraffes, sailboat anchors, sport shoes to name a few.



Be sure to take a look at our site and do some shopping. We offer FREE gift wrapping on many of our products.

Photo Tips for Announcements and Invitations

Here are some photo tips to help you capture the perfect photograph of your beautiful baby.
  • It is very important to set your digital camera to the highest resolution setting possible with the least amount of compression. Images need to be at least 1800x1200 pixels at 300dpi for a 4x6 photo to get the best quality. A higher resolution works even better! This will ensure that your photos will print clearly and fits in your design correctly.
  • Using natural light will often produce the best photograph. Take your baby's photo near a bright window or a room lit up by natural sunglight. Avoid direct sunlight. Use of a soft light from a lamp is better than flash. Proper lighting can help avoid blurry and grainy photos.
  • Since the focus of the photograph should be on your beautiful baby avoid using backgrounds with lots of distraction. Use a white or light solid colored blanket or sheet as the backdrop. Dress your baby in solid colored outfits or no outfit at all. Get down to your baby's level while taking the photograph. You can photograph your baby in a sitting or lying position. Use a boppy, pillow, sofa or chair covered with a sheet or blanket to prop your baby up. Sleeping babies can also make beautiful photo announcements.
  • Center the baby in your photo. Make sure all you can see if the baby and the backdrop in the photo.
  • Take lots of photos in order to capture the perfect shot.
  • If your baby is fussy during the photo session take a break and try again later.
  • We need clear photos to make you the perfect announcement. Make sure your photos are NOT blurry or grainy.
  • When selecting photos for each area of the design please pay attention to the shape of the photo either vertical or horizontal orientation and make sure it will fit in the design areas. Please keep this in mind when selecting your photos and the design. If you are unsure if your photo will fit in your design please feel free to email your photo(s) to info@emileeandgrace.com, prior to ordering and we will let you know if your photo(s) will fit in the design. This helps avoid delays when creating your proof.
  • If you would like to use a professional photograph you must get a photographer's release.
  • If you don't own a digital camera and have access to a scanner, scan your photo(s) at a resolution of 300 dpi and save it as a .jpg file.
  • Email the original & unedited photos from your camera and attach them to your email as files to info@emileeandgrace.com Please include your name & order number in the email.
  • If you would like us to scan your photo(s) email us at info@emileeandgrace.com and we will email you our mailing address. We will return your original photos with your order.
  • If you are not sure what photo you would like us to use in your announcement email us a couple of your photos and we will let you know which one will not make a good print.
