celebrate babyluxedaily.com with giveaway!

happy birthday to babyluxedaily.com! they are celebrating with a fabulous giveaway that includes baby star! enjoy...

baby star : Both of my kids were pukers, plain and simple. There were never enough burp cloths in sight & I never went anywhere without one, ever. So it was always nice to tote along something that, while practical, was also adorable & easy on my baby’s little faces! The best place that I have found to carry that “perfect” burp cloth, is baby star! They use the basic cloth diaper burp cloths, and then add an impressive wow factor with their luxurious poodle & diamond fabric down the center & their signature designs along the edges. The diaper burps are super absorbent & super cute!

angela from accounting hearts baby star!

we know we have raved about her before...but katja from skimbaco is the best! she has the best site www.skimbaco.com and recently included us in a gift to our absolute fav angela kinsey AKA angela from accounting on the office (hazel does love jim and even has the post it's to prove it!). check out this great note from angela and write up from katja...

What a surprise today at the mail box! I received a card from Angela Kinsey, or should I say Angela Martin from TV's The Office show.

The card says:
"Angela Martin from NBC's "The Office" says...
Katja - Thank you so much for the cute bib and the diaper pouch!
Angela Kinsey"

Thank you so much Ms Kinsey, you totally made my day, I almost felt like a whole new person, getting mail from such a successful, funny and gorgeous actress like you! I felt like celebrity myself!

And thank you for Audrey, Jane and Sharon for giving me the opportunity to send the baby gifts for Angela Kinsey. The Pinks and Blues Virtual Baby Shower celebrated the birth of three special babies and gifted all three with amazing gifts this spring. Audrey welcomed Henry, and Angela Kinsey welcomed Isabel, and Jody's baby is due in a few weeks.

I sent the new moms some beautiful Baby Star products, they make amazing baby gifts for any baby. Moms received the handy quick change diaper pouch - it's such a stylish way to carry diapers in your purse, and crab them out for a quick change. And the babies received matching bibs.
