Our Newest Addition: Baby Shower Favors

2009-05-05T13:41:00.001-07:00

I have been to many baby showers over the years and I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm not really crazy about the favors I've received in the past. On occasion, I'll get something really neat that I love and can use but most of the time, I mysteriously forget to bring it home. Unless it's a candy bar of some sort............. ;)

With that said, if I ever received a baby shower favor like the ones we offer at The Emilee Grace Company, I might be trying to sneak an extra one in my bag on the way out.

Here are some of my favorites:

"She'll Soon See Her Feet Pedicure Set" Guests at the baby shower won’t stop raving about this cute favor. The unique flip flop doubles as a pedicure set with a cheerful pink and black polka dot design. This charming keepsake is ultra-chic with a modern flair. Pull the zipper to reveal the essentials: nail file, scissors, clippers, and cuticle instrument. Simply Irresistible! Measures 2" x 4.5" $5 each

"Pucker Up Lip Balm" Pamper your guest with our personalized lip balm. With a luscious vanilla scent, this soothing lip treatment is the perfect size to drop in your handbag and will soon become a daily part of your beauty routine. Each clear plastic case has a screw-on lid and measures approximately 1.5" in diameter. Personalize with your choice of designs and colors, along with the text of your choosing, and create a favor that is uniquely yours. Please enter personalization below. Item is sold in sets of 12, with a minimum order of 2 sets. Personalized Lip Balm Favors arrive separately from the labels, some assembly required (attaching the self-stick labels to the cases). Price is $21 per set.

Don't forget that we offer 10% off entire purchases on a regular daily basis by using code: EVERYDAY09 at check out.

Help keep those nurturing shoulders clean with a present that’s as practical as it is precious—three washable burp cloths with pink/blue trim and white embroidery that tells the world a sweet baby boy/girl burps here! The gift box has its share of cuteness and character…a character named “Honey Bear”, to be exact. She peeks above the corner of a 6”x 6” x 3.5” woven cloth-covered, pink/blue and white-striped presentation box that’s ideal for storing small necessaries in baby’s room. A delicate, chocolate-hued ribbon completes Honey Bear’s attire.

Blogger Tip - Adding a Menu Bar

2009-01-19T05:59:00.001-08:00

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.

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

2009-01-17T06:49:00.000-08:00

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

2009-01-14T09:24:00.000-08:00

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!!

2009-01-13T18:07:00.000-08:00

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.

Features Include:

*Matching, detachable safety belt with safety hook
*Mommy pocket for keys, wallet, cell, etc.
*Two toy loops

*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.

BabyLegs Giveaway

2008-06-16T15:52:00.000-07:00

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.

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!

MommyFest Blog Party

2008-05-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

We are an adorable little place on the web that sells products for mom and baby. We try to bring moms the latest and greatest items on the market and we are always on the lookout for new products. We pride ourselves on keeping things affordable and our site proves that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to be fashionable and stylish.

I'm the mom of 2 silly little girls, Emilee and Grace and I've been married to a wonderful husband, Tim, for almost 6 years. We are also raising my 15 year old nephew, Justin, so I have my hands full. :) I've been a christian my whole life (just about) and truly love the Lord. I teach sunday school to grades k-4 once a month on Sunday's and I teach the preschoolers 2x a month on Wednesdays.

Online Shopping Parties

2008-05-09T12:03:00.000-07:00

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

2008-05-01T07:16:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-04-21T13:45:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-04-20T06:32:00.000-07:00

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

2008-02-01T05:31:00.000-08:00

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.
