Just received two gorgeous necklaces from our friend Whitney of I Know A Mom fame. She’s now creating simple, classic and unique jewelry that will soon be seen on moms everywhere.

Her new company is called Bel Kai Designs and the jewelry is composed primarily of semi-precious stones and sterling silver. The one of a kind pendants are handmade using fine paper, digitally created prints + photographs.

We haven’t taken ours off since they arrived and with Mother’s Day coming up, we think these make an ideal gift.

Our friends at Miracle Blanket are having a really fun contest right now that we just had to tell you about.

They are looking for the best video example demonstrating the true miracle of Miracle Blanket®. See what you can capture on video showing your baby going from fussy & crying to peaceful & serene after being wrapped in the Miracle Blanket! Video quality is not super important, but it has to be a continuous roll with no cuts, transitions, or edits so they can see the actual, real-time effect of the Miracle Blanket.

The grand prize is $500! And there is also a second place $100 prize and third place $50 prize. You can find the complete rules and details here.

Good luck!

Just want to give a shout out to our fabulous assistant, Sharon Hammil, who celebrated a birthday this weekend! We couldn’t have made it so smoothly to our 100th client without you! They all love you and so do we! You’re The Baby Planners favorite pick! Happy Happy!

“EARTH,” the first motion picture from the new film label Disneynature, narrated by James Earl Jones, opens in theaters today. Earth tells the remarkable story of three animal families and their amazing journeys across the planet we call home. Buy a ticket for opening week and Disney will plant a tree in your honor – we think that’s just fab!

Happy Earth Day!

The Baby Planners love a good party… which is why we’re happy to help sponsor a fabulous event being held this weekend for Kimberley Blaine, aka The Go-To Mom.

As you all know, The Baby Planners are huge fans of Goosie Cards – we think they’re innovative, fun and educational – a perfect trifecta when it comes to gifting!
