The Diaper Clutch comes to Emilee Grace

For hip and trendy moms on the go, The Diaper Clutch is a "must-have".

Keep your diapers and wipes in one convenient and stylish carrying case. Do your diapers get lost at the bottom of your diaper bag or oversized purse? Is it hard to reach those wipes when your hands are less than clean?

The diaper clutch keeps your diapers neat and the disposable wipes container conveniently fits inside the pouch with an easy access window! All you have to do is open up the flap and Voila! there's your wipe! The inner pocket has enough room to fit two to four diapers and a disposable changing pad. There is even enough room for a small bottle of hand sanitizer for quick and easy clean-up!

Available in 13 different patterns for just $19.99.

Blogger Tip - Adding a Menu Bar

As a business owner, wife and mother to 2, I don't have much free time but when I do, it's usually spent on the computer learning new things. One of those new things that I had recently learned was blog design. For awhile I had been doing it for free and one question I would frequently get asked when beginning a design was "Can you add a menu bar to my blog?". My answer, "yes".

Since I am no longer doing blog design, I want to share this little tutorial on how to add a menu bar (and a few additional widgets - or gadgets they're now called) to your Blogger layout. If you want your layout to look like the image below (circled items are the ones that will be added to your existing layout), follow these easy steps.

Login into your Blogger account.

Click on the Layout tab.

Click on Edit HTML

Press Ctrl+F to open up the "Find" box

Type showaddelement (all one word)

You will see something like this:

Everywhere that it says 'no', you are going to change to 'yes'.

**ONLY WHERE IT FOLLOWS showaddelement. There should be about 3 places that you are going to change it from 'no' to 'yes'. You will probably have to scroll down a tiny bit to change all of them.

Click Save Template

You are done! You are now able to add a widget above your blog posts, under your blog heading (or above it).

If you benefited from this tutorial, just leave me a comment. :)

BabyLegs SALE

Anyone that knows me knows that BabyLegs is one of my favorite products here at Emilee Grace. It takes a LOT of self control not to buy out my own inventory and give them all to my girls. :) I just think they are so fashionable and they make a great accessory to many outfits.

Since I love BabyLegs so much, and think everyone should have a pair, we are running a 30% OFF sale on a few adorable, albeit discontinued, patterns.

"I Want" Wednesday

I just took my first gander over to the "I Want...." Wednesday blog and thought that this would be a great weekly meme to participate in. How is works is this blog posts a question regarding things we want and each blogger answers it in a blog post.

Today's question is:

What do you want to teach your (Current, future, or fictional) children?

As the mom of 2 little girls, I want to teach them.....

....that Jesus loves them and has a plan for their lives.
....that what's on the inside is more important than what's on the outside.
....to wait until marriage to have sex.
....that no matter what they do, I'll always love them.
....to treat everyone equally.
....that putting God first is essential.
Have a blessed day!!

KozyPal Shopping Cart Covers have arrived

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Emilee, one item that I kept seeing that I was dying to get was the shopping cart cover. I saw it in Babies 'r' Us and just had to have one. Thankfully the one pattern that was available was very cute so I was happy. But one pattern? Just one pattern? Not very appealing. But you won't find just one pattern with the KozyPal Shopping Cart Covers.

Available at Emilee Grace are 17 adorable patterns for boys and for girls.

Features Include:

*Matching, detachable safety belt with safety hook
*Mommy pocket for keys, wallet, cell, etc.
*Two toy loops
*Premium batting
*Self contained storage (2 elastic straps that allows the cover to easily roll into a barrel style pillow)
*Sippy cup holder
* Quality hand made shopping cart covers sewn in a smoke free and pet free home.

Universal fit for all grocery store shopping carts, including the big, wholesale carts found at Costco and Sam's. Can also be used on restaurant high chairs, booster seats, park swings and public strollers in malls and zoos.* Leg holes are reinforced with matching bias tape for a clean, sharp finished look. *Unique, hand made shopping cart covers to protect your precious little one from unknown germs, bacteria and viruses on publicly used shopping carts and restaurant high chairs. **Fun print on the front and coordinating solid on the back.
