This just in – we think it’s a fabulous question!

Is it tacky to send out e-announcements (meaning, no paper announcements at all) after my baby is born? Any cute ideas for this?

Tacky? Not at all! Going paperless means going green which is good for the environment and your wallet as well. There are several on-line sites where you can incorporate your baby’s picture and more. Just google “e-birth announcements” and start browsing! While some traditionalists may balk at your electronic announcement, no one will deny it’s an email worth opening, sharing and celebrating!

If you have a baby-related product question that you’d like to send us for possible inclusion in our Ask The Baby Planners column, please contact us and mention Q&A in the subject box.

We had so much fun this morning on KTLA’s Morning Show. We’d travel anywhere with the hilarious and beautiful reporter, Jessica Holmes!

• Portable Playtime – backpack turned tray table cover for airplane trips
• The Piggy Story – crayon rolls and art folios – all in one art supplies for on the go travel!
• Snuggle Me’z – infant car seat cover and blanket that keep baby snuggly warm.
• Baby Spare Wear – extra clothes in a matching bag for those unexpected changes.

Safe travels and have fun watching!
