We’d like to congratulate our Paige Lauren Baby, luxury layette giveaway winner, Ann MacKenzie!

Paige Lauren, a Los Angeles based designer, is known for her luxurious and classic baby wear that sells in nationwide boutiques, as well as Neiman Marcus.  We’re fans of her simplicity, sustainability and style.  You will be, too!

Who doesn’t want to be more charitable and what better time than the birth of a baby.  That’s why we love the newly founded, Baby Effect. This organization was created to encourage friends and family to honor a baby’s birth with donations to a select set of GlobalGiving charities that improve the lives of children and mothers around the world.

The Baby Effect was founded by moms who believe that every birth represents a new opportunity to create a brighter world for the next generation – we couldn’t agree more.   New parents can help spread the word via a Baby Effect enclosure card in their birth announcement – it’s that simple.  To find out more, click here.

We hope the effect will be revolutionary.

We are always on the lookout for fab, green products that push the envelope and that’s why we’re crazy about Lullabyannouncements.com!   We love that  these digital birth announcements are more than just earth friendly, but wallet friendly, too!  Chadlee Colson is the creative mind and mom behind this company, whose innovative birth announcements feature fresh and modern designs that show up vibrantly in an email message.

They’re currently offering a “GREEN” promotion for 20% off orders placed in April…  that’s an announcement worth noting!
