Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Mommies out there who deserve recognition for all that you do.

We allow our bodies to be stretched and kicked while our babies are in utero and again when our little angels come into the world. We shelter and nourish our children. We support and encourage all that they do. When bumps and scrapes occur, we hug and kiss those tears away while applying those magic bandages that make it all better. Mothers let our babies step into the world, testing,  learning and growing, but also stay close enough to be there for security and encouragement along the way.

We all come from mothers and they all deserve a little extra love this weekend. Babybox.com has a few ideas of what you can do to show your mother that you love and appreciate all that she does. Why not get one of gifts for her?

Wrap Mom up in this cozy chic hoodie by Barefoot Dreams. It is a must have for any mother’s wardrobe. You may even want more than one once you feel one; one for home…one for travel…and one for work…you’ll never run out of excuses to wear it. This hoodie is available in 5 striking shades. These fitted, fashion conscious zip-up’s are made of famous BambooChic® making them just as irresistible as our Barefoot Dreams robes. This is sure to keep you cozy and warm all year long.

You know that Mom will always be available for you, no matter where you are. If that means that she is a phone call away, why not make sure her cell phone is pretty and safe from harm? Protect her phone while adding personalization! These new cell phone cases from Clairebella will fit your iPhone 3G/3GS, iPhone 4, Blackberry Bold 9700 and Blackberry Curve 8520. Choose from 12 patterns and 13 accent/font colors. Only monograms will be available on these, but boy, will your phone look fantastic! These cases are made by case-mate and will follow their warranty.

Select your case pattern, the font color, the monogram background color, and font style. Keep in mind that the Times NR is uppercase letters only and will all be the same size. It will read first, middle and then last initial and would be a great look for a men’s case (so keep that in mind for Father’s Day!). For the Script or Monogram fonts, the middle letter is larger than the two letters on the sides. It will read first, last and then middle or maiden initial. The Script is traditionally a feminine font and the Monogram font could certainly be used for a man or woman. You are the designer, let your imagination work!

This Amanda Necklace will be certain to bring her a smile as well. Shiny hammered rings link earthy shades of dyed white jade, coffee glass, gold sand glass, brown mother-of-pearl, and resin beads. Adjustable length. Wear long, or tie short with ribbon. Everyone will comment on her unique jewelry when she wears it and you can be proud to say that it came from you.

Wrap it all up with recycled personalized gift wrap – louisville. This beautiful letterpress personalized “Louisville” gift wrap is recycled and recyclable. This Eco friendly wrapping paper is the perfect way to gift wrap holiday gifts, birthday gifts and baby shower gifts. It is different from others as a unique nine step stamping process is used to produce each roll.

So now you can show how special the gift receiver is by personalizing this gift wrap. Choose your lettering style, imprint color and wording and we will create something special for you or your recipient.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Summer time is under way. While lazy days will come and go, you can be sure that there will be many a day where you will be running from the beach, to playdates, to the game and maybe even  the cottage. If you want to make sure that you can fit in all of that, maybe it is time to grab that day planner you have been meaning to invest in. This snap closure, 3-ring day planner and personal agenda is perfect for every busy Mom. Introducing the most luxurious momAgenda ever: the Personal Portfolio is a gorgeous new momAgenda day planner featuring a brand new, bonded leather 3-ring binder! This flexible system includes everything you love about momAgenda and more. And now, using a 3-ring binder system, you can customize it to fit your needs! It features a unique weekly layout with space for mom and up to four children, that makes managing multiple schedules a breeze, including monthly views too. There is space for writing in all your essentials, like important phone numbers, kids’ and adults’ medical information, birthdays, websites and passwords, addresses and more. With a  “To Do” section,  “Notes” section, and “Planning” section that includes space for party planning, vacation planning and more, you will be set for everything that comes your way. It even has colored tabs to keep each section separate for your ease and convenience. You can now plan your days, weeks and months easily.

Having your day planner is only half the battle though. It is one thing to have your plans laid out, but setting dates with others takes a little more organization.  These pretty pink cards with all Mom’s contact information included will make life easy. No more searching for a pen and scrap of paper to scribble phone numbers on. Play dates and other arrangements can now be easy. This item is available in sets of 36 and 48. The cards are 2.5″ circles printed on 110lb card stock created with a professional inkjet printer. Your play date and everyone’s summer sanity is just a phone call away. This truly makes a great gift for mother’s everywhere.

With your play date planned and ready, it is time to head out the door. Don’t just grab a shopping bag for all your essentials to take with you though. Opt for this stylish tote. Every mom this summer needs a sophisticated GG bag to carry to the beach, park, poolside or anywhere your days take you. A bit more refined than the classic LL Bean Canvas Tote, the GG Tote has rounded shape and complementing round handle. The unique GG design is on heavy, natural canvas with a choice of colored bindings. With your own personal 3-letter monogram or up to 8 letter word you will arrive to your date in style.

At the end of the day, when you are too pooped to move, it is finally time to unwind. You have worked hard all day and deserve a little something to relax. Why not fill up your new personalized lucite ice bucket with a tray of ice cubes and slide a nice bottle of wine, coolers or lemonade into it to cool off with. A great addition to your outside patio or poolside party, you will be glad you have it when you need a little refreshment. Choose from our stylish swatches + monograms to create your one-of-a-kind gift… or design one for yourself! Now sit back and relax after your day of planning and  running around and let summer fun be your true guide.

Yes, summer is officially here. With temperatures rising and the school bell rung for the final time, now is the time to enjoy all there is to do during summer vacations. My favorite stop is to the beach. Children cannot resist the  lure of picking up sea shells with the lull of ocean’s waves in the background. Truth be told, neither can I. This large shoulder basket bag is inspired by the sea, adorned as it is with a starfish detailing. It is a handy item to tote along to the beach as there is lots of room for sunscreen, a bottle of water, your camera for taking photos of your little ones playing on the shore,  and maybe a good book in case you get a moment to relax yourself. Ha, ha, good luck with that!

With your book quickly forgotten, it is time to dive right into the day. The best wear for the beach is swim ware of course, so pull on your bikini. Well, maybe a tankini to hide the reminders that may be still lingering on your mid-section from your baby’s time spent there. Don’t let that stop you from dressing your bundle of fun up cute though. The Emma Floral bathing suit by MN Bird is darling. The pink dotted tank suit with ruffle is made from from 85% Nylon and 15% Spandex and is comfortable and pretty. It has spaghetti straps that cross at back giving it a stylish and feminine look. For the ultimate set for your little girl, add the matching white bucket hat. This versatile bucket hat is designed from 100% cotton and protects little faces from the sun. Functional and stylish, even while playing hard at the beach!

Ultimately the day must come to an end though. As the sun sets on a perfect day, it is time to pack up all the new found shells, beach toys and gather up the wet towels and bathing suits. If you don’t want to jam the wet suits in with your camera and book, here is a solution. Take along the don’t go changing clothes holder. It is the perfect place to keep wet items you want to keep separate, as it has a waterproof liner.  There is hope that you might return to your book one day.

While the day might fade into memories, you can enjoy the feelings any time with this “A Day At The Beach” wall art from Oopsy Daisy by Mari Takabayashi. It brings the fun and frolic from the beach right  into your child’s room. This top quality canvas reproduction is stretched over wood bars with no glass to break. It can even be wiped clean with a soft, dry cloth. It makes a wonderful addition to any child’s room, playroom or even beach house, so that the beach fun will continue to  last for many moons to come.

When you are just a go-go-go, sometimes you need to stop and crash. It can seem like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the tasks set ahead of you. When you do finally put on the brakes and throw up your feet, make sure that you find a comfortable spot to plunk yourself down and unwind.

You can hardly call it plunking, when you slide onto this beautiful chaise though.  Taylor Scott’s T-Back Chaise promises maximum relaxation as you sink into the white goose down wrapped cushions. You can choose from a single chaise (Single 42″w x 60″d or Double 48″w x 59″d) or double to make room for the kids or Daddy. That is, if you want to share! As with all of Taylor Scott’s slipcovered furniture, the slipcovers are easy to remove and can be machine washed and dried. Handy when you have little people afoot who are not always as mess-free as one might like.  The construction is also warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and materials for the life of their products under normal residential use. If one just won’t do, additional slipcovers are available for purchase.

Perhaps you want something a little more informal though. How about a good old fashioned bean bag chair? This Fatboy brings comfort and elegance together. Fatboy invites everyone to meet the Metahlowski family. This posh family name, which whimsically refers to luxurious brands like Swarovski, represents four shiny, sophisticated variations on the iconic Fatboy® the original.. Each Metahlowski design has the same shape and measurements, but is made of high quality Italian fabric executed in a brand new sexy color. They combine luxurious style with sheer laziness. The Metahlowski’s are a family of two manly males and two seductive females.

Titano, Bronzo, Silvi and Goldi are the quite obvious names for the titanium, bronze, silver and gold colored beanbags. Their luxurious supermodel looks opens up heaps of high-end opportunities for usage in modern state of the art interiors. Therefore the Metahlowski’s are a perfect alternative for unaffordable design classics. Just like the girl next door could effortlessly look like a supermodel. Each of the Metahlowski’s would make a CEO take a powernap in his executive boardroom. They would give guests in the lobby of a star hotel a royal welcome. They would embrace exhausted travelers in waiting rooms of modern airports and they would glitter like a disco ball in way too trendy clubs and exclusive restaurants, although they’re note just made for snobs and the hip elite. Each member of the Metahlowski family is a suitable addition to anyone’s own. They’re in everyone’s league since a Metahlowski feels at home anywhere, whether it is in the Taj Mahal or a gypsy trailer. Maybe they are art and kitsch simultaneously, because a Metahlowski lives with its head in the clouds and with its feet on the ground.

Whether you find yourself reclining on your classic chaise lounge or flumped into your chic take on bean bag chairs, just remember to enjoy those moments of repose. When life ramps back up again, as it will in the blink of an eye, remember your comfortable spot, breathe and jump back up to chase your toddler across the room for the millionth time this week.
